I prefer to read an episodic synopsis on shows I'm interested in from wikipedia and anime blogs, then draw my interpretation of the scenes based on what I read with crayons and blue line paper, then flip through it like a flipbook. In my opinion it is vastly preferable to both downloading and streaming.

After being a long-time MPV user, after my last distro hop I started using the VLC that was preinstalled. It is not bad at all. It plays Yuru Yuri smooth as hell where MPV had to use fucktons of framedrop.

DAUM motherfucking PotPlayer with Skin.

>>118298260
It's an unnecessarily heavy piece of software that runs into codec issues way too often despite touting it's versatility. I've used it on other people's computers and the interface is pretty shit too. There's no way to change the hotkeys, the volume controls are super touchy and extremely easy to hit by accident.

I recently gave a friend a softsubbed copy of pm3 Rebellion and VLC wouldn't display the subs even when they were turned on in the settings.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Probably one of these:

2. By some weird happenstance you happened to download weird files that it doesn't work with, I've had this happen very rarely where I sometimes get files I can't get subtitles to appear in screenshots, but it works 99% of the time for the hundreds of episodes I've watched with this setup.

literally my only complaint with VLC, and my research says they will explicitly never enable such a function.

Kinda of a pain, checking out mplayerx.

Wait, VLC actually forces you to make playlists to watch multiple shows consecutively? And people still use it as a default media player?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. His point was that Linux is a kernel, the piece of software that connects userspace to the hardware. It's useless by itself. It is typically used in combination with GNU to form a complete operating system. The operating system is really GNU with the Linux kernel added to it, or as I like to call it, GAHNOO PLAS LOONICKS.

Through a peculiar turn of events, entire GNU/Linux systems in use today are mostly just called Linux. This disrespects stallman-sama.

>>118301261
It depends. I have really really shitty eyes so I need sharpening filters and overdoing it can fuck with the quality so a shitty encode can look horrible when upscaled. I wouldn't watch HR/CR rips in fuillscreen if I was you. Every good release is good enough for fullscreen though.

For anime playback though, I love MPC.
