why vlc is better than mpv

made by french men

>>58148267
It's not, I used to like VLC but then I found SMPlayer with mpv backend

>>58148267
VLC is better in making farts instead audio output.

Quality of the software itself is much better overall and the developers contribute to upstream projects.

the truth is, if you ever even TRIED another media player since VLC came out, you're stupid and don't even know how to watch videos/listen to music

>>58148267
It's a shit even on linux.
Even directshow based shits like madvr, mpc-*, lav, assfiltermod, ... are less shitty than this shit.

default win10 player is pretty gud desu

>implying i don't use mpv with the default config
>implying i dont have to setup vlc for better video output/hardware encoding/filters(swscale lanczos)

>>58149622
lol that shit hashes everything you play and uploads screenshots of the content along with tag info and embeds tracking shit into the files.

KEK

>>58148542
this

>>58148267
I have it installed, and I don't have mpv installed.
That makes it superior.

I use mpv because the interface desing is much cleaner and les bloated
About features mpv has better options if you want to do non normie things like for example watching 4 twitch streamers at the same time

>>58149933
mpv is buggy garbage compared to mplayer2

>>58149933
why, why in the lord fuck would you wanna do that?

if vlc had auto subtitle downloader like bsplayer i would only use vlc. vlc auto detect codecs and i can easily watch streams with it

>>58148267
>Internal Codecs

no

>>58148267
but mpc-hc is still better than vlc

>>58150129
wow, so the mpv developers are seriously crippling their player just out of childish spite?

what mature development policy

>>58150068
How do you quantify code quality?

>>58149222
>>58149774
Art effects. Truly amazing.

>>58148267
vlc is shit, but it works with almost anything you ever throw at it. you have that one file that nothing will play, vlc will.

its a backup player, not a main one.

personally, I use potplayer for podcast/youtube videos that are long, mpc-hc for everything else, and when something wont play, vlc.

>>58150139
No, it doesn't. Chapters isn't the same as linked mkvs.

>>58150375
yes, linked mkvs is what nobody uses

The only real complaint there is "doesn't support linked chapters". The rest are retarded, or things that MPV users choose MPV because of.

Where can I get video content that will tear like this in VLC? I've been using it since 2003 and have never had a single file do this.

What else to expect from a tripfag?

Try looking for a single tripfag post that has any value whatsoever, one that contributes somehow to the thread.
Pro-tip: You can't.

>>58148542
I hope you've remembered all those key bindings.

>>58151440
seeking in any large mkv file

>>58151122
I too enjoy not having to edit config files and not remembering every single key binding under the sun to watch a video.

>>58151568
Have you ever even tried MPV? You can literally just install it, open a file, double-click to fullscreen and watch.
If you really need to, you can move mouse around and a simple interface will pop up where you can change audio tracks and subtitle tracks.
No need to configure anything and it will just work without 10 hour seeking times with video corruption, unlike VLC.

Why am I responding to bait, fuck.

>>58151355
>>58151365
wow guys thanks

>>58151385

If that's actually true, fair enough. But what about changing the subtitle encoding? It's fairly easy to do on VLC. How do you go about changing that on MPV?

MPV is objectively better in all ways that matter. It doesn't need an easter egg.
Pic related.

>>58150613
Um... you might want to look again.

>>58151646
Pretty sure it defaults to UTF-8, but never actually needed that, and it's not like accessing and editing a config file is difficult.

>>58148267
>no hanukkah decoration

why are the vlc devs anti-semitic?

>>58151687
That's mandatory for pretty much any non English subtitle. Why would I edit config files instead of checking a couple of boxes in VLC? Given that I could actually find said config files. And are there any other advantages over VLC? Is picture quality any better/different?

>>58148267

OP

Hi. Please excuse me as I am not a nerd. Why are you comparing media players? Just play the frickin' video!

>>58151646
the default to change subtitles is j. You can change it to anything though. you can also set default languages in the config

>>58151646
You can set that via the --sub-codepage option. MPV supports auto-detection via ENCA or libguess.

>>58151722
1) Uses less resources
2) Doesn't take nearly as long to seek
3) Can actually preview content, unlike in VLC where if you slide around the timeline, it just shows a thumbnail maybe every 5 minutes.
4) And obviously you can configure anything you dislike into your liking, but don't need to, since it's fully functional from the get-go.

>open a file in mpv
>just werks
God you're so stupid. Why are all VLC users so goddamn stupid? Literally using a LAN Client to play videos locally, of course they are stupid...

>>58151042
nah, some of the old dead codes dont work in mpc hc but do in vlc... I want to say the video im thinking of is a real media video or something like that.

literally, if it is going to work at all, it will work in vlc.

Windows Media Player is far superior :)

>>58151687
use media player classic home cinema, its FAR better than vlc, both video wise and playback.

between mpc and mpv, I can't tell the difference other then there is no/next to no ui with mpv, a deal breaker for me.

with mpc hc you will have a small initial setup, pretty much just setting the video renderer to something besides default as default isn't the best option, and good to go till a file doesn't work, when a new file doesn't work, install a newer version and its still setup like the old one, good to go.

>>58151687
>>58151646
mpv auto-detect encodings using uchardet, enca etc., so this is not really a thing that needs to be done

but in case it gets misidentified for some reason, there's a

sub-codepage

option.

>>58151796
>slant.co
why would I give a shit about some piece of shit no-name normie “opinion” forum?

>>58151551
Like space to pause?

mpv is for intelligent users such as myself who have no difficulty remembering all the keybindings and options. Graphical user interfaces just slow us down, I am glad there is a video player for people with an extraordinarily high IQ.

>>58148267

VLC is better solely through virtue of not being another try hard "look how long it takes me to accomplish basic tasks through command lines and config files because MUH NON-GUI SUPREMACY" Linux pedo magnet.

I guess there is no need for me to enlighten you, but this was the go to choice for anime (and movies if your hardware can handle the madVR filters) until the reterded new fags came with their vlc meme.

>>58149774

>>58155566
mpc-hc has been for the longest time.
and mpv is superior since you don't have to rely on madshi's crap coding.

>>58155566
Seems the newfag here is you. MPC-HC+madVR+xySubFilter is the go for anime.

>>58155195
ive never had this problem with any video player ive used minus streaming
