Default Video decoder with GPU support in Reaper

Somehow my machine still struggles to play video smoothly in Reaper,
so being constrained to vlc and ffmpeg I started looking for something else.
Here's what I found:
*snare roll*

MPV, a free, open source, cross-platform media player, that supports GPU decoding
https://mpv.io/


The devs write on it's website, that the program was designed
"(to be) usable as a library and (to) facilitate easy integration into other applications".
So I wonder if it's possible to embed it inside Reaper, or tell it to use MPV as a video decoder.
Sadly, I don't know how these things work..

Also curious if Justin, or other Reaper dev's know about such software
(I bet they've searched for something similar at some point)

No, you can't use it inside Reaper. I am not sure they have other codecs than ffmpeg.

Doesn't have FFmpeg GPU decoding features which just isn't used by REAPER yet?
