why exactly is mpv better?
Why exactly is mpv better?
more customization
better image quality > more customization
You can get just as good quality with mpv depending how you configure it. It can also be subjective though.
lightweight
no bloat
good documentation
mpv plays videos
simple and minimal, can scale from shitter core 2 duos to high end rigs with heavy shaders
even supports HRTF if compiled with OpenAL
since there's no actual mpv thread, i'll ask here
how do i set up a profile for audio files (mp3/flac/m3u/pls/etc) to disable hw acceleration, but enable it otherwise?
read the documentation, piece of shit or stick with vlc
Because you can't configure it to look just as good as madVR.
I think you'll need a profile for each extension
[extension.mp3]
hwdec=no
[extension.flac]
profile=extension.mp3
[extension.m3u]
profile=extension.mp3
etc
