MPC-HC + madVR + DirectVobSub
You're welcome.

>>56672230
mpv is an all in one solution that just works and requies no set up outside of editing a text file.

If that's too intimidating for you you can set up mpc-hc, but since that comes with shit scalers built in and no you'll have to get madVR. And also you'll probably want lavfilters. And since you probably watch chinese cartoons you'll also want vsfilter as well for better libass support. If that sounds too complicated you can always use KCP.

>>56672270
>just works
Try playing linked mkvs.

VLC is fine really. Outside of anime fansubs, which mpv or MPC work much better for, VLC is just fine if you rather use that.

Like if you have videos from your phone or whatever. I do like mpv more than VLC.

Mpv plays just fine so the ""lack"" of features (aka incompetence) is completely irrelevant when the VLC developers are complete hacks who apparently have no idea how to make a video player.

I'm incompetent because mpv literally doesn't have a way to fix the pitch of the audio when it is sped up?

uhh, have you used mpv lately? They fixed this out of the box a long time ago. It now keeps the original pitch when speeding up / slowing down. (you can change back to the old behaviour by changing a setting)

>>56676792
PNG is lossless. Most idiots were complaining about colour reproduction differences which there are none between these two players. Performance wise both are equal on my PC. Feature-wise and supported formats, VLC wins.

Any video players for android that play mkvs that aren't just reskinned VLC. MX player doesn't want to play pirated stuff and VLC is stuttering and buggy.

>You literally cant play 1080p videos on older hardware using VLC.

Sure you can, but you should enable GPU acceleration, which is disabled by default.

>>56677079
That's the main reason, yes.

I switched to MPV because it's slightly faster/more efficient, but VLC is fine.

If you're not shitposting:
In my opinion, VLC is the better player, especially since it is more full-featured and consistently updated. But if you have problems with it on your build, move to MPV.

This is just one of the biggest circlejerks at the moment, so it's not like any thread made about it will be even slightly useful to someone with a serious inquiry. You know how /g/ can be.

I agree with you, but you're the most autistic person on this thread, which is frankly an accomplishment. Congratulations.

>>56678409
it really looks like somewhere in settings you have a limited color range set up. All i can say on linux with nvidia 370.28 drivers (and all since 340 i've used) everything works right if you select the opengl (glx) output. Also last time i saw >>56678426 was when out of curiosity i tried mpc-hc with default config on windows a few months back.
Maybe its mac related. If you have set both full color range in nvidia settings and open gl (glx) output and restarted vlc it should work. I checked both on Windows 10 and Debian 8.6.

also on windows if you connect the monitor through hdmi you get limited color range in two places in nvidia drivers. One in video playback settings and one in monitor color correction. On linux it defaults to full RGB anyway.

If they won't make a gui to modify options, I refuse to use it.

I know it'd be TOO MUCH BLOAT to add a simple, intuitive graphical menu where I could adjust options. The text file would still be available, so the only possible reason is to have no gui for editing prefs is to keep MPV LESS BLOATED because it's SO SLEEK and SO MINIMAL that it would be ruined otherwise.

I've never had to touch a txt file to edit VLC. I just download it and it plays shit perfectly fine on any computer that isn't ancient. If I somehow find myself in a situation where I'm stuck with a toaster-PC and VLC isn't working, I can use MPV in that instance, but that hasn't happened and I don't imagine it ever will.

>>56678629
Actually as an VLC user i can tell you that MPV way of configuration is really simple, unless you fuck around with third party tools. Also VLC configuration is simpler if you just edit the text file. For example, try to get rid of the extra 25% of the 125% volume bar without editing text files on VLC. With text it's - open 1 file - find the setting - edit it - save , in GUI its open VLC , open options - open advanced options , look around gui settings for 3-5 minutes until you find something , set it, restart VLC. Also simple commands like "fullscreen" "no-border" "vo" "hwdec" are really easy to remember and since you just overwrite defaults with your plain file you cannot fuck anything up , you can always remove the config. Configs like that are frikin amazing to me.
