So why does/g/ prefer MPV to VLC?

>>58235938
>muh config file editing
>muh ricing

Because normies love VLC therefore it is bad.

>>58235938
how do you make pancakes that thicc

>>58236946
A rice cooker.

Who fucking cares. They are both shit.

t. MPC-HC master race

I wonder what the inside of those pancakes look like. I suspect they taste like shit.

>>58235938
Probably because there's no 24/7 help thread on getting VLC installed in Linux, so the freetards have to use the MPV.

>>58235938
I-I want to fug those cakes

>>58235938
MPV is very responsive. Double click and it opens instantly. That's why it's my default now.

I use VLC only if I need to use a filter, like deinterlacing or whatever.

>>58235938
/g/ here, no I don't.

This guy gets it.

Because i can take the shittiest computer and play a 2GB movie without a problem via MPV,
while the same would lag out and fuck up on VLC.

Right now unfortunately there is nothing as good as MPC-HC + MadVR and LAV filters

>>58237411
I like mpv more even on windows

The borderless mode is good for streamlink twitch gui and it consumes less ressources. That about it, I have both installed so I don't really care.

I don't know why I bought this meme. VLC has never caused me issues ever.

Cuck school more like

t. ECE student

Because VLC is actually a barely working cobbled-together piece of shit.

Basic things, absolutely basic shit like opening an audio stream, VLC skips and stutters every 8 seconds due to encoding troubles so you have to fix it on your end. This is basic functionality.

For some VLC "just werks", for everyone else they realise it's awful.

VLC colours look washed out. Also

>>58238419
kek yeah reading books and remembering bits of it to write in a test is really difficult.

>>58235938
Because it's hardly useable and a pain to install.

>>58235938
Because VLC is inferior.

MPV

I had no idea about this. Colors do look different in MPC-HC. Thank you for pointing that out.
Well, thanks for the ride VLC, I'm moving on.

because mpc-hc and vlc can't be minimalist like this

who the heck wants ugly bezels

Do I need to install the CUDA toolkit to get mpv to use the hwdec=cuda option?

>>58242229
pretty much this
vlc is so fucking ugly you need a skin
mpc-hc is even uglier and there will never be a fix
mpv just werks and looks good, and if you want to be completely anal about everything, you can willingly do so

>>58237126
mpv can has deinterlacing and tons of other filters tho

Not him but it actually is. Memorization requires shittons of effort and practice

Whereas with something like CS you can stroll your way through university without lifting a finger because all of the answers are logically deducible

https://haasn.xyz/posts/2016-12-25-falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-%5Bvideo-stuff%5D.html

guess how many of these VLC gets wrong

>>58244764
I love that people this autistic are working on the video player I use.

>>58244740
CS won't teach you shit you need to know when you get a job, though.

I have had to work with so many people fresh out of several different universities who I had to basically start from scratch with, because all they had was theory. Now, I don't hire people out of university.
I'd much rather have autodidacts and people who can prove they have work experience (and believe me, it's easy to tell in a job interview if you try to fake it).

>>58245363
Out of curiosity: Would you hire somebody who's been programming for 10 years and has a github/trac history full of years of FOSS contributions, but who never finished university?

>>58245495
That's basically the definition of autodidact, so yes - if I needed a programmer, I would.
