Could you build this?
No Building a cross-platform media player interfacing directly with libmpv, supporting BT.2390 HDR tone-mapping, and platform-level Dolby Atmos passthrough requires specialized C/C++ systems engineering and video architecture expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires native development in C/C++, Rust, or native wrappers (Kotlin/NDK, Swift, C#) bound to libmpv and FFmpeg. The hard parts include configuring low-level display pipeline swapchains for HDR10/BT.2390 tone-mapping, interacting with OS audio endpoints (WASAPI exclusive mode on Windows, AudioTrack/IEC61937 on Android) for bitstream Atmos passthrough, and custom stream-recording pipeline buffers.
