If not and if I do not want any crop, how can ffx264 be convinced to run without mplayer?
I do not see an option to disable crop.

When I understand it correctly, ffx264 as well as fhevc and ffxvid all use mplayer for crop, so when one not uses crop all scripts should be able to work without mplayer.
Set AUTOCROP to "n" in the config file located in $HOME/.ffx264 (a hidden file)

MPlayer is a requirement, though. It is used only for crop preview, not crop itself which uses FFmpeg. I'll make it optional in another release shortly

I will not switch to mpv as someone else can come and say he has MPlayer installed but not mpv. I've chosen MPlayer for crop preview because it has the rectangle filter. I do not know if mpv has it too, for that matter
