I'm thinking we should include the option of not having a initrd, and just having a bzImage.

mpv is a fork of mplayer2, to learn more about the differences take a look at their [https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/changes.rst docs].


I like that idea too.
Currently there is only mpv version 0.3.11 availabe in Funtoo, higher versions have been masked because they require a masked version of libav.

This guide directly starts with using dracut. I think it's better to rewrite it with generic ideas how to build custom kernel, without initrd, and then with different initramfs creation tools.
However if you use media-video/ffmpeg you can safely unmask it for virtual/ffmpeg
