Subject: [PATCH] Temporarily restore ExoPlayer as the default player (#797)

## Description
Due a few more MPV bugs showing up, this PR reverts the part of #736
that made "Prefer MPV" the default player option.

User can still manually switch to "Prefer MPV" and its full functional
remains. It's just not set to be the default anymore.
