>/g/ has become so delusional that VLC is seen as contrarian

What a time to be alive. Is Debian contrarian too now?

>>58628393
I don't think op knows what contrarian means.

>>58628369
you're obviously quite intelligent, /g/ needs more intelligent threads like this one

>>58628381
MPV works out of the box, but has an extremely minimalistic UI, akin to that of a website media player (it's literally just a few play/pause buttons, a progress bar and a thing for choosing subtitles and audio tracks). It works well for me, personally -- since I hate when things are in the way of the video -- but for some it may be rather confusing. VLC works out of the box as well, but has a more traditional user interface. SMplayer is kind of a mix between the two -- it uses MPV as a backend, but adds a UI on top of it.

>it uses MPV as a backend
are you retarded? do you not know what the mplayer in smplayer is? not surprising somebody slaps a minimal UI on a 20 year old player and /g/ thinks it's GODTIER

>>58628458
SMPlayer literally can use MPV as a backend if you tell it to. Sure, originally it only used MPlayer, but that has changed. Check http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/en/mpv

>>58628381
>>58628369
I use VLC, but that's purely from the standpoint that I've had it on my computer for the past 3-4 years and see no reason to replace what works perfectly fine for what I need.

>>58628516
heh, and this guy called you retarded...

>>58628411

Wrong, MPV doesn't even have a GUI or a box for that matter, because it doesn't have official builds. What you got was a third party build with a third party GUI working on top of a shitty software that's as mature as an early alpha but retards keep shilling because they think they're 1337. There's no reason to use anything other that MPC-HC with madVR.

>MPV doesn't even have a GUI
>The On Screen Controller is a minimal GUI integrated with mpv to offer basic mouse-controllability.
>The OSC is enabled by default

>>58628400
I dont think you think you know what OP thinks that >>58628393 doesnt think.

>>58628657

>minimal GUI integrated with mpv
>integrated
>not part of mpv, but something added by the third party that built it, since the piece of shit has no official builds

Why are you so stupid? Comprehending what you read isn't hard. No wonder you shill for MPV.

>default player is mpv

>>58628794
Do you not know what "integrated" means? It's literally a synonym for "built in". That is to say -- if you built MPV from source yourself, it would be there.

>>58628825

And you are wrong again; thrice. Clearly you have never built MPV, otherwise you'd know that it isn't like that. Also "built in" doesn't mean that either, and "integrated" isn't a synonymous for it anyway; I just checked 3 dictionaries for the synonyms and I conclude that you used the word "literally" wrong, so you can count that as a 4th mistake if you want to. Consider ending your life, shill.

the autist downloaded a shit encode as seen here
>>58628851

>>58629076
Assuming the file isn't corrupted, then sure it shouldn't happen.
>>58629093
The encode is fine, I have the same release by the same subbers. His files corrupted, should've checked the CRC before shitposting like a retard.

>>58628393
Nah, nu/g/ is actually an extension of /v/.

The guy was using hardware decoding, and the bug report says the problem goes away when using software decoding

Put 2 and 2 together

>>58629196
this. video player / GPU / browser / OS / distro wars are an extension of /v/'s console wars, with the same kiddies participating in them

>>58629837
It looks like ass since it's a fresh Debian VM, to make doubly sure it builds this way in the default config. Also, building shit from source on Windows? Yeah, no, thanks.

I was still using KCP and started using mpv just this month and loving it. Aside from the fact that I still don't know how to make a config (just want gamma and languages settings tho)
