Why the fuck does VLC struggle to do 4k playback while MPC has no problems at all...

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?

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.

The color issue looks like something got switched in on the profile, baseline, main, or high.

Just do this OP, MPV has anime watching autists fine tuning it all the time to get perfect playback

user...

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

Spoiler: VLC is shit, its not just a meme

>ripped from your own collection
>implying you can rip 4k blu rays

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.

in an age where everyone has at least an ultrawide monitor or 1440/4k
no user 1080 is not fine

yes.

mpv.net

Switch to mpv.net now. It has context menu.

It has a GUI for settings and inputs.

mpv.net has integration with Everything(provided that you already have it installed and running) to search media files.

>Literal bloatware
Fuck off

How about you configure your shit right? Both MPC and VLC can use the same condecs and renderers.

>nvidia
Nvm, you're retarded.

mpv.net has better default keybindings than regular mpv, and scalers that are equivalent to MadVR options.

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

>mpv.net has better default keybindings than regular mpv
>Enter to toggle fullscreen
>F11/F12 to go forward/backward in a playlist
The only real improvement is shifting volume control to +/-
>and scalers that are equivalent to MadVR options.
You wanna tell me well known scaling algorithms work the same in mpv.net as in madvr? Wow.

Here is your normie friendly GUI for mpv bro. Also has the features advanced users love too.

potplayer is master race

it's washed out because it's an hdr video file. if you want to watch it on mpc install madvr and the colours will look normal

Stop watching porn.

Still mpv and has shit HDR support

VLC is trying to render HDR, MPC is not.

Looks ok to me. Regular mpv that is.

Attached: Life Untouched 4K Demo_00_00_45_0001.jpg (3840x2160, 1.28M)

Tone mapping is fucking broken and doesn't work for some files, and when it works it looks like shit on my TV, compared to other programs.

Try using a HDR screen now.

It is a known problem though. Some relevant links:
github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/6405
github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/5804

Set up madVR

That sucks for you.

That is.

Yeah, I know about that. The picture and colors looks great on my tv though.

Try using a real player and compare. mpv's HDR is all fucked and levels are always messed up. Maybe you

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.

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.

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

bait

>asks you for network access when starting it for the first time
>not botnet
Not today, CIA.

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.

bait

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?

It's closed source and probably pings home

its good coming from VLC, but no reason to use it over mpc much less mpv.

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.

why is this being shilled so hard

Anons lets make peace, not war.

Pick one.

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

Try to enable this setting. Change it from automatic.

Attached: VLC Video output.jpg (780x261, 25K)

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.

>he does not know the true definition of shill
If you are not being paid, then its free publicity, user

cause it is really that good.
