What kind of media player does /g/ use? I was using VLC until

VLC because it's the only one that works out of the box.

MPC-BE. Try it.

>>58525459
When will this meme die?

>>58525479
It's not a meme though, mpchc/be required codec packs while mpv needs tons of configuration.

VLC simply had more hours put into it, and it's why it's much more developed and intuitive.

VLC is the greatest media player of all time and the only one that supports all platforms.

>>58525514
>mpchc/be required codec packs
Again, when will this meme die?

>>58525514
>VLC is the greatest media player of all time and the only one that supports all platforms.
Default in Debian install. No need for ubuntu type restricted extras bullshit.

>>58525479
MPC-BE definitely has bolder colors and a much nicer UI, I'll be switching to this from now on lol.

>>58525514
Personally I haven't had any video/audio files that have required a codec pack. However I just stick to pirated movies/videos that are all generally mp4 and mkvs with subs. Or do codecs do more than just allowing you to play a file and improve quality in general?

>>58525445
>don't mention mpv in this thread
that's our secret ultimate player

>>58525514
>mpv needs tons of configuration
When will you die already

>>58525514
VLC doesn't require any configuration, because it's simply doesn't support advanced features like mpv, and those features are optional you retard

He is just memeing, it was 2 years ago on his broken mac.

Mpc-HC + Mad VR for anime
Mpc-BE for everything else.

>>58525479
>>58525659
>>58526414
If mpcbe is so recommended then why do most packs/installs include mpchc?

>>58526414
Why? You can use MadVR with BE as well.

>>58526433
Just try it and see for yourself.
I don't think BE is recommended much outside of /g/. And HC is probably older or something.

Anyway, some anon recommended me once and I've never looked back. It just works, like HC but with a much nicer interface.

>>58525445
You don't need to "tune" your media player. Just fucking use it as is.

I'm trying out mpv for my chinese cartoons, but getting terrible framerates. Intel skylake graphics, manjaro, and tried vo=vdpau/vaapi/opengl, hwdec, increasing the cache, but the performance never improves past stock. (changing to vdpau actually makes it worse)
Any suggestions on how to make it usable?

>>58526510
mpv is a bugfest, try changing from full screen to windowed during playback, sometimes it gets the unstable framerate fixed automatically.

there is a mpv script that sets the framerate to your xrandr setting before playback that fixes such problems

It hogs resources for no reason, they all look the same. Same file, 1080p30fps, stretched at 1440p, they look the same. MPV is trash.

>>58525445
I use VLC mainly these days, and I'm not dissatisfied with it, but MPC is one of the only things that I miss from Windows.

>>58529661
In that scenario all players were running windowed at 1:1, so no scaling was involved

>>58529661
What about HEVC encodes, or 60fps? Have you tested those?

i recently installed k-lite, did i fuck up?

>>58525445
MPV
P
V

>>58529693
I tested 60fps Fraps .avi, and the result was the same. When it comes to HEVC, VLC performs the best, I think CUVID does not support HEVC hence why MPC's usage will rise a bit. Still, less than 10%. I haven't tested HEVC with latest MPC nightly though, only on stable.

Only in the sense that in doing so you've installed a bunch of shit you'll never need, which will likely make your system even more unstable than normal. Also in the sense that it's infected your system with God only knows what malware.

You should only ever install the common shit that you definitely need. If you ever need something less common then install it only when you get to that point for certain. Never install something because you may need it for unknown reasons in the future.

>>58530546
.ini files

Though they may default to registry... Hmm...

The only problem with MPC-BE is that it always starts in a small ass window. Back when I used MPC-HC, it automatically resized itself to the resolution of the video when you played something. It doesn't really matter since I watch in fullscreen anyway, but it still bothers me a lot.

Seriously though, mpv always uses less resources than vlc with hwdec, it has on the 5 computers I've tested it on. And it has for other competent people I've talked to.

>>58530796
I don't know, I have a desktop and three laptops and MPV performs the worst on all of them. All running Windows 7 SP1 x64 with different configurations varying from Core2Duo, IvyBridge and an XPS15 with a Skylake CPU. All have Nvidia GPUs. Sam eresults on all, MPV uses less GPU relative to VLC/MPC and a lot more CPU.

>>58530838
>what is cache and how do i disable it. the post

>>58530906
Then you don't seem very competent, no offence.

>>58530964
I think I am enough competent to get a piece of software working/ It's not my fault that mpv is developed by idiots who don' know programming for shit. In the latest build of MPV they actually broke the d3d acceleration and it uses opengl. In my screenshot it's actually the last build that has d3d accel still wring, otherwise with opengl CPU usage would have been over 40% constantly.

>>58531001
>In the latest build of MPV they actually broke the d3d acceleration and it uses opengl.
You just confirmed you are not competent.

>>58531022
It's broken in the last build.

So I just gave MPC-BE another chance after all the feature talk in this thread. I'm impressed. I'll probably replace MPC-HC with it now. Is there any reason not to?

It's a shame they don't advertise all these features more. Had to specifically look for them and try them out to see how they work.
