I love VLC, but I have a problem. When I try to stream a channel from a TV adapter, it streams all channels from a multiplex despite I specified a channel number in the command line. VLC instance on the client computer opens up 7 separate windows with each channel causing it to crash. Is there someone who knows how to do that correctly?

It's a feature not a bug. It only happens because your CPU can't keep up. On MPC you would have stuttering or frameskips instead.

It's true that this laptop is not even made for playing back 1080, let alone HEVC... At least that's the impression you get if you use VLC.

You can probably get VLC to play the files if your machine has enuogh raw power to do so.

Or you can just move your ass to a more efficient player.

A video player should not consume fucking resources.
You shouldn't have to need a good pc to play fucking video.

>>56058815
Videos are compressed series of images with compressed audio on top of it. In order to watch it you have to decode them on-the-air along with any resize that you've done.
Uncompressed 8-bit @ 1080p @ 24 fps video is 334 GB/h. You cannot go to 0.5 GB/h minus any audio without any computation power.

GPUs could easily handle 1080p since 2007. Now graphics capabilities have been added to CPUs as well so anyone can play videos as that. But lower end CPUs still lack at power, even more if you make usage of newer codecs as h.265.
Nevertheless, the problem here seems to be that VLC makes bad usage of hardware, as mpv plays them albeit with some shuttering here and there.

>>56057610
I saw a lot of screenshot of vlc shitting himself while reading files but I couldn't reproduce it myself.
I tried EVERYTHING, a shit load of different medias and it didn't crash nor had any image glitches.

> inb4 gui
There's SMPlayer for that (and others like Bomi)

>>56060856
VLC has the best variable play speed of any player.

Also it's good at some obscure formats, like mov with subtitles. (Didn't try this one on mpv, though.)

>>56060896
>VLC has the best variable play speed of any player.
What do you mean by this? Because you can't even set speed increments in VLC.

>>56060896
What makes it better than mpv's? I'm legitimately curious, since I don't use VLC often. Note: mpv can do constant-pitch and pitch-stretching with the --audio-pitch-correction option.

>>56060972
>>56060981
Audio stretching (and compressing for fast speed) is better than the others, including mpv last time I checked.

>Because you can't even set speed increments in VLC.
You can do .1 increments with hotkeys and even lower (.03) with the GUI.

>>56061011
How did you "check" that it's better?

>>56060856
Here's one: mpv doesn't work with DVD menus, something that many old media player worked just fine.

>>56060856
Give me one good reason to use MPV over mpc-hc.

Even with the highest of MPV settings, it still looks just as good as my mpc-HC without a pants on head retarded UI.

>>56061011
I guess that's plausible. Have you tried mpv with librubberband insalled and --af=rubberband?

>>56061015
By listening.

MPV was still pretty decent though, much better than MPC-HC.

>>56061050
No, I didn't.

>>56061031
I like that it's small and portable, cross-platform and all contained in one binary/exe. Once you get used to the keystrokes it's much more convenient, regardless how much you care about quality.

>>56061081
no fucking gui
get out of here

>>56061031
MPC-HC has problems with subtitles. Sometimes they disappear on seeking. And there is no out-of-the-box option to display 2 subtitle tracks simultaneously. mpv works just fine without either of the issues.

>>56057610
That isn't MPV

>>56061130
>i'm angry that things don't have a gui because i'm a huge baby

>>56061130
Why did you ask for a reason to use it if you already knew why you would never use it?

>>56061130
Implying that gui is needed for videoplayer. All the space should be filled with videoframe, not fucking buttons and sliders and such shit.

>>56057610
That's not mpv.

>>56061252
Using a mouse to press buttons and drag sliders is not more efficient than pressing keys for people who use computers regularly for more than Youtube.

>>56061252
By this argument, why are you still using a PC? It's the post-PC era, man. Using a mouse interface instead of a touch interface is like drinking out of a puddle because new things are always better than old things.

How do you load a folder in mpv? Or a group of files?

>>56061252
What are trying to say mate? That gui for videoplayer is actually relevant in 2016? If yes then it's not even that nice of a joke.

VLC is the best media player. People who show the codec problems are morons because they obviously don't know how to update their software. Furthermore, spotify cucks need to get outttttttt REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>56061329
Either give it a playlist or mpv /folder/*

>>56061345
>give it a playlist
a file?

>>56061361
Yes

>>56061345
>>56061370
That sounds a bit cumbersome compared to having a GUI.

The only people who use VLC on Linux are recent Wincuck converts, because it's the only decent one they have.

VLC is originally for LAN video streaming, but became popular on Windows because it was one of the few way not to use Windows' codec system.

Meanwhile Linux has had a lot of other players.

VLC is trash, literally the worst player ever
MPC-HC has a shitty old UI and the video quality visually is worse than MPV with a side by side comparison, I tried and MPV had a much more fleshed out and beautiful quality, MPV also has a modern minimal UI, MPV is the ONLY acceptable desktop video player

>>56061382
No, typing mpv /folder/* in your shell isn't cumbersome at all.

>>56061484
Pity a PC illiterate retard is using your PC.

>>56061539
mpv folder is enough now

So why should I use MPV over VLC again?
All I read is some random sperging, but very few arguments.

>>56061589
If you only see sperging VLC is good enough for you

>>56061589
cause it uses up too much CPU, bloated UI, has codec issues and is terrible with subtitles, MPV doesn't have that problem, don't listen to any argument an MPC-HC user has to say, they are inferior to both VLC and MPV by a landslide

>>56057610

nvlc http://fatalerroroccured.site/td/yzn45Fjae/di.wav

>>56061498
And how does this contradict my point? If you always use fullscreen and/or min view then you don't need gui.

Thanks for clearing it up, I'll keep using VLC.

>MPV also has a modern minimal UI
Except mpv doesn't have a UI (if you don't count osc which is not that pretty, even devs call it simplistic).

>>56060232

>>56061680

>>56061523
Where's the settings menu?

>>56061729
>even devs call it simplistic
And they do nothing about it, typical.

>>56061833
In your ~/.config directory.

>>56061772
No, I appreciate the arguments, it's just that they are very weak and/or don't apply to my use case.

>>56061857
That's just a config file. I'm asking about a settings menu.

>>56061890
There is no menu in a CLI application.

>>56061647
So it's a feature of MPV that it doesn't have a traditional GUI or menus to configure it? I understand the command line angle, but why not have the choice? Would a traditional GUI and settings menu make it too bloated?

>>56061955
There are frontends with which you can use mpv, Bakamplayer or something? I can't imagine the interface allows you to go in depth with the configuration like editing the files based on what you see in the manual. The reason is probably because none of the devs care for a GUI.

>>56061854
Why should they? They are developing backend. If you want pretty UI, use some of the frontends for it.
And like its simplicity matters anyway. You have basic functionality that you could need from osc. The point was about having "a modern minimal UI".

>>56061865
If resource consumption is a weak argument for you then what would be legit one?

what does mpv.com do in the windows build?

is there any configuration that mpv needs to improve picture or sound quality? i've always just used it without touching my config file at all

MPV friends: how do I set the multiply speed so that it goes up/down by ~0.05x and then returns to 0?

(Like the default 0.9091 and 1.1, but finer.)

Is mplayer/mplayer2 dead?

>>56062487

>>56061050
I tried --af=rubberband.

With extreme speed changes (especially slower) it sounds great with less "stuttery" artifacts than VLC, but the problem is that it alters the default speed sound as well. So it's not really something I'd use regularly.

Any MPV people still here?

Can you make the MPV window size stay the same when playing different files (in a playlist)?
By default it resizes/changes the window when a new file starts playing.

>>56064276
to run with cli in cmd

>>56066187
What do you mean?
I can do that with mpv.exe just fine.

>>56057642
Still happens

MPV uses way more CPU than MPC-HC on my PC. I'm guessing something isn't right with GPU acceleration.
I have a Radeon 4670 on W7.

>>56066403 here
I tried using --vo=direct3d_shaders and --vo=direct3d, neither helped really.

>>56066403
MPV is a elitism command line software. MPC is better...

>>56066403
Either that or it's using different scalers that require more cpu. I have an i5 3350p and using opengl-hq watching a 30fps 1080p video I get less than 10% (about 8% mostly) cpu usage with hardware decoding off. Is this around what you're getting?

>>56066732
Depends entirely on the video. Some very high bitrate clips are basically unplayable (just like on VLC).
Whereas MPC-HC plays them without a hitch at under 10% CPU usage.

>>56062487
