What do retards on Jow Forums usually say about updating their video player again?

Glad I use mpv and keep it updated so I don't end up like a gay VLC user.
At this stage, I hope someone hacks my computer, so I can get a qt hacker gf

It just works

The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

I use VLC to watch streams, because it's lightweight and tends to perform pretty well.
Is that the thing where some videos play with really fucked up colors? Like purple/green/orange eyebleed shit? I fixed that by uninstalling KCP (and madVR) and just using MPC-BE by itself with whatever renderer shit it uses. It may just be madVR that needs updated but I haven't bothered since I don't watch a lot of movies or anime anyway.
So basically, anybody can create a malicious stream link, get retards on Jow Forums who don't update VLC to click it, and cause a crash that gives them admin privileges?

Or encrypt those files, good for people writing a thesis without backups.

but I was opening some weird porn hls streams yesterday...am i going to be ok?
It's just that since the 3.XX versions came out, the Left-Right balance is out of true. Voices are heard louder on the right channel than on the left if you're watching a video. I tested this out on my two hardware wise totally different computers as well as on my wifes laptop and i also tested this under Linux Mint, macOS, Win7 and Win10. The 2.XX versions don't have this problem.

IIRC, older versions had broken auto-updaters.

My trust.zone VPN stopped connecting, it just cuts my internet off and doesn't fully boot. Windscribe keeps kicking me off then reconnecting every 40-45 seconds. My connection and speed is perfect when I'm not running either. This happened just a few hours ago after I opened a fresh download. Have I been hacked?
Tell me user, if i enter the menu named"Video", "Audio" and Subtitle, can i then read the stuff i named the different video, sound and sub text files with?
I do name them on each movie or TV-Episode after Codec and bitrate they have.

>MPV's "UI" is fucking trash though. That's literally all you need. You VLC fags like bloat.
Jacob Cook
Give mpv.net a try and see that even on default settings the video quality is better than VLC and MPC.
>have to literally shut down the program to adjust basic options like deinterlacing eat shit and die, mpvtard
Adam Rivera
Looks fine to me
Michael Reed
You can toggle deinterlacing by pressing d.
