Display only forced subtitles for the DVD subtitle stream selected by e.g.
``--slang``.
-``--forceidx``
- Force index rebuilding. Useful for files with broken index (A/V desync,
- etc). This will enable seeking in files where seeking was not possible.

``--fps=<float>``
Override video framerate. Useful if the original value is wrong or missing.

Mostly useful in slave mode, where mpv can be controlled through input
commands (see also ``--slave-broken``).
-``--idx``
- Rebuilds index of files if no index was found, allowing seeking. Useful
- with broken/incomplete downloads or badly created files. Now this is done
- automatically by the demuxers used for most video formats, meaning that
- this switch has no effect in the typical case. See also ``--forceidx``.
+``--index=<mode>``
+ Controls how to seek in files. Note that if the index is missing from a
+ file, it will be built on the fly by default, so you don't need to change
+ this. But it might help with some broken files.
+
+ :default: use an index if the file has one, or build it if missing
+ :recreate: don't read or use the file's index
