Because it just works. It doesn't need tons of patches to make it usable (see other players: mpv,vlc, etc)

>>59647088
what's wrong with your current mpc-hc install?

>>59647088
Is there any feature that MPC-HC is missing that would make you want to switch?

Because it works just fine for me, it has all the features I need, and the performance is great even in my shitty Atom tablet.

>>59647159
It probably has tons of unpatched security vulnerabilities

>>59647159
It's going to be useless by next year when the AV1 codec ships.

>>59647168
>Is there any feature that MPC-HC is missing that would make you want to switch?

That's not the point. MPC-HC is on life support. We will have to switch someday just like we had to switch from Sonique to Winamp.

>>59647219
>MPC-HC is on life support.
It's just a piece of software. Does it work? Yes? Then it's not dead.

>just like we had to switch from Sonique to Winamp.
No you didn't. You chose to switch because of lack of new versions.
There are still people out there using Opera 12 just fine. There are even people using Windows XP and 7.


Besides, the solution is right there.

Fuck I keep finding myself back to using MPC-HC because it looks nice, I don't have to spend an hour fucking with key bindings to make things work like in SMplayer, and the best part is that it works out of box with things like Taiga (While SMplayer did not.)

Anyways, it sounds like they are at least trying. So I guess we will see

Huh, I thought everyone had already switched to mpv.

Good thing MPC-HC is modular so you can use external Lav Filters on it so even if MPC-HC no longer gets updated by itself you can just update Lav Filters, video renderers like MadVR or subtitle renderers like AssMod..

my mom & step dad use it on their computer/tv to watch all the shit on my media server they say they love it because it doesn't have any buttons to fucking click and all they do is full screen and done

>>59650293
It doesn't need a GUI. It just needs a config utility that shits out the config file so you don't have edit it manually.

>>59647133
mpv is literally the only player that just works.
you don't need to install it or navigate complex menus, you just put it on whatever folder or drive on whatever computer you want and it will play videos.

I did that too years ago. It was like when I jumped from Winamp to Foobar2000. Truly an improvement.

I think I might have to jump to mpv when MPC-HC dies, though.

>>59650432
mpv is just the next stage in our evolution, you need to do it sooner or later

>>59650416
You don't have to do anything but sometimes you want to

>>59650419
It's not confining at all. Having an external config utility doesn't mean that you can't also edit it manually to do more complex things. Anyway this is what people actually mean when they complain about mpv not having a GUI. So now you can stop asking 'What you need a GUI for?' every time it's brought up.

I'm a dumb windowsfag that is terrible at anything that doesn't have a plain GUI.
I never use a terminal or anything that needs direct input to be exactly right.

I still figured out how to make it act the way I want and copied the configs of some people off /g/ for the video quality.
And now I've set it up I can copy the same install and config to any PC since its portable.

>>59650416
>You don't have to do anything to the config at all.

That's not true. Sometimes you need to customize for your specific hardware. Sometimes the default options aren't what you prefer.

A significant number of people will need to edit the config.

>>59650458
Yeah, this announcement is making me take a serious look at mpv.

This is your average mpvkek.

That's the problem. It doesn't have to be that way.

And a config utility wouldn't take that away. It would still be the same portable video player with a config file.

>>59650525
no, you NEVER HAVE to do that. No user EVER has to do that.

It's great to do, sure. I don't argue it because I do it myself to mess around etc. But there is no reason you HAVE to do it and any user can grab mpv and just go

Can mpv download subtitles with 1 keybind and 1 click like mpc-hc ?
Is there an actual playlist where i can just drag anything i want?
Does it play files in the same folder even though i don't as them to my playlist?

BUT MUH MINIMALISMUH

>>59653314
MPV is better now. Its more than usable these days. Meanwhile, your mpc-hc has been stripped of developers so yeah, you have no future and no room to talk.

>>59653314
I don't understand the GUI focus you winfags have. A proper ini file is thousand times more readable and ONLY contains the options you actually changed. That makes it far easier to share and doesn't need to include hardware specific shit.

On a related note, I use mpc-hc with SVP4 for 60fps playback. Is there something similar for VLC? SVP4 itself is a lot better with mpc-hc.

Until then, there's no reason for me to switch to vlc.

>>59653724

>Why is VLC more active than MPC-HC when VLC is shit?
Easy answer: Popular among normies and people who THINK they know shit when they don't.

They usually don't know MPC-HC, let alone SMPlayer (a GUI for MPlayer and MPV)

Is there anything similar to madvr's NNEDI3 scaling available for MPV? I thought madvr was a meme before I tried it but the difference is really visible with sub-1080p video. Sure it's gets 50%~80% load on my gtx1070 but whatever.

Opinions on SMPlayer?

>>59654183
That functionality is already built in

>>59650231
>Last Update: 8 hours ago
Neat. Probably I will move to this if MPC-HC dies.

>>59654001
>Simple GUI
Yeah, fuck yourself. I will not wade through thousands of options that a GUI for mpv would have to show just to find the one responsible for you having shit taste. It's far more easier to just ctrl+f'ing 'MADVRxDD' through the man page and adding the lines I need.

>>59654130
What's missing? You can do everything you need to do with the current file, you can also do whatever the fuck you want with scripts and whatever. It's not meant to be a dedicated media library. that's what competent file managers are for.

Just shows that the devs are incompetent to fix the broken ffmpeg splitter and just ignore the problem. LAV filers had the same problem years ago but the devs actually know their shit and added support for linked mkvs. mpv devs are on the same tier as script kiddies.

What's wrong with VLC? Why do we need a different thing?

Is there a reason to use linked segments over ordered chapters other than for breaking compatibility with mpv?

>>59668871
>linked segments over ordered chapters
retard spotted

Daum PotPlayer.

>>59668871
It seems you don't even understand what linked files and chapters are.
Chapters are litrally bookmarks which make navigating withing the file easier.
Linked files are used for stripping episode off of repeating segments like intro/outros and putting them into separate files. Now imagine how much space you can save if you do this for 50+ eps shows especially in anime where most action usually is in the OP/ED which require higher bitrate compared to the rest of the episode. Space adds up.

>>59668887
>>59668994
Let me rephrase it: Is there a benefit to using that method (the one mpv doesn't support) to save space versus the other more commonly used method (the one mpv does support)?

>>59669173
Yes, it saves a lot of space and it's not everyone elses fault that meme player /v/ refuse to make their player work like others do. This is a great feature.

I don't understand how it would save more space than the "ordered chapter" method that most releases use to save space. Ordered chapter releases also load the OP and ED from a single file for all episodes and work fine in every player.
