Why the fuck does VLC struggle to do 4k playback while MPC has no problems at all? This isn't a shill post because I've been using VLC since forever. But even after enabling the proper hardware decoding/acceleration (I have a 2080Ti GPU), it still stutters more than anything. Side note, why does MPC look so washed out in comparison? Does VLC add a filter I don't know of or something? WebM related.
Also, this is a 58.3GB rip from my own collection so it's not the file.
Who knows, probably fucked up codecs. It's a shitty program for casuals. I had to drop it because of the exact problem you're having. I switched to MPV and never looked back.

it's fine. I'll use MPC, however are there filter options? Why is MPC so washed out in comparison?
Andrew Roberts
Pretty sure you can mess around with the output settings on MPC. I'd try that and see if you can get a better picture. Haven't used MPC in a while so not 100% sure, bud.

fixed it. Apparently the default setting for the cache value in VLC is like 300ms. I set it for 20,000 and all stutter is gone.

I've had issues playing back 5400x2700 60fps H.265 vr pr0n on a 6700/gtx1080.

Until it runs out of cache. Sounds like slow hard disk or memory bottleneck.
Logan Thompson
The color issue looks like something got switched in on the profile, baseline, main, or high.

what do you need 4k for? fuck off retard 1080p movies are fine

Spoiler: VLC is shit, its not just a meme

Of course you can.

Does MPV have a friendlier GUI for normies?
I always wanted to start shipping it with new computers but after testing it once I got bad results.

VLV uses your video driver config. Most video drivers use a limited range by default, 16-224 instead of 0-255. Change your settings.
If you're selling computers, normies know and love VLC. Even if you don't agree, their glasses are rose tinted enough to excuse the constant artifacts. They'll blame videos it wont play on a bad fil3, just like they will blame a site they broke/slowed (by installing 40 addons) on the site owner, not on their own misuse or psychological inability to temporarily use another browser to get the job done. >t. Dude with normie friends; been PC building for years now

You wanna tell me well known scaling algorithms work the same in mpv.net as in madvr? Wow.
Christian Martin
Here is your normie friendly GUI for mpv bro. Also has the features advanced users love too.
Try using a real player and compare. mpv's HDR is all fucked and levels are always messed up. Maybe you
Christopher Russell
I have

haven't tried anything else yet and thinks this looks "good enough". Even devs know their implementation is broken.

Then you have shit standards, I'm sorry.
Carson Davis
Yeah, you are sorry.

I doubt it will have a cache issue over the length of a full movie. And I doubt it's memory or disk bottleneck. Movie was being played off a Samsung 960 EVO 500GB nvme SSD, and I have 32GB of CL14 3200MHz RAM. After some digging around I found it was a shader issue. Got proper color after playing with it. But ditched MPC overall because I have to do some stupid shit to get subs to work. Say what you want about VLC, but it just werks. I have a 65" 4K TV in my living room that I stream said movies from my server to my HTPC. Why wouldn't I want better quality. Not only that, but 4k blu-rays only usually cost $5 more than their 1080p counterparts AND also come with the 1080p Blu-ray as well as the 4k version. Except you can. Pic related. It's a UHD official drive. Only issue is that you need firmware 1.00 to actually be able to rip and most drives are shipping with 1.01 and 1.02. You have to use a flash tool and custom firmware to crossflash the drive to make it think it's an Asus model running 3.10 MakeMKV custom firmware with downgrade enabled. Then it will let you crossflash the firmware back to the downgraded official LG 1.00 version. How about MPC stops being a shit heap out of the box? Both the VLC and MPC in the OP pic were from fresh installs with nothing changed. Get fucked bitchboi. >Nvidia Hurr durr durr. Get back to me when you're not flat broke.
Imagine not using VLC for everything. Literally every other program is a botnet

There’s no way to truly escape the botnet. If your computer has connected to the internet at least 1 time, you’re in the botnet.

I need to be pilled on PotPlayer, I see it mentioned here and there but I know nothing about the player. Can it compete with MPC? Does it look as good? does it offer any options at all when it comes to upscaling and such?
Jose Martin
It's closed source and probably pings home
Jace Cruz
its good coming from VLC, but no reason to use it over mpc much less mpv.
Jason Adams
Vlc is like a media player Swiss army knife. It has a ton of features a few clicks away in it's robust menu. I don't use it as my primary media player, but it's a godsend for playing fucked up video files like wide-screen programs in recorded in 4:3 with the black bars.
People can shill for whatever they want, I can shill all day about how you should eat shit and I can even provide evidence on how it will improve your life even if I have no financial incentive to do so
Dylan Foster
Try to enable this setting. Change it from automatic.
I already did that and changed the same setting in the Codec tab. However I fixed my problem by increasing the file cache size limitation from the 300ms it was set at to 20,000. I have no idea if it NEEDS to be that high, but I don't want to have to fuck with it later. All this does is make it so if you manually skip around throughout the video, it may take a little longer for it to buffer and start playing again. I saw no difference at all other than the video is no longer laggy at all.
