What video player do you use for Windows?

This.
If I ever get a minimally decent GPU I want to try mpv with filters though.

Idk what is this mpv.net meme that some user/s is/are trying to shill though. Is it better?
Idc about GUIs.

What would I be able to do with mpv that I can't now?

>switch to the better player
Yea sure, just waste your time getting familiar with new player for without any benefit at all
Come back when you have some facts on why MPV is better

mpv.net is mpv with better default keybindings plus GUI only in the form of context menus and settings.

mpv is better by default. Ha no need for codec packs. Comes with more powerful video scalers.It is more customizable.

>Comes with more powerful video scalers
Is there any data or documentation on this?

Does MPC-HC have thumbnail previews yet?

Attached: Demonstration for mpv_thumbnail_script.lua (v0.1.0)-a9cmt176WDI.webm (1136x640, 2.86M)

MPC-BE does.

But not MPC-HC

Correct.

If you want MPC-HC with thumbnail previews, you use MPC-BE.

why do people even shill MPC-HC still?

new mpv.net release is here!

Because it's what people use and like and they don't do a full survey of media players every time a new one comes out.

>literally just uses shichiros builds
I'll stick with schinchiro

I use VLC because its FOSS and i've used it for years and have no real reasons to switch. It's reliable as frick.

mpv.net is a frontend based on libmpv. It introduces context menus (incl. search function for options) and some other goodies like the optional usage of Everything.
It still needs to catch up on basic mpv functionality in certain areas though (the ability to drag&drop subtitles or to disable window borders was just recently added). Automatic adjustment of the window resolution to the native resolution of the video still seems to be a problem. Also its bugs, as mentioned by the release changelogs, seem to be often rather sloppy mistakes (e.g. missing closing quotes preventing settings from properly working).

Probably a good choice for beginners who have trouble with config files, but advanced mpv users should stick with the original and people who dislike mpv's minimalist OSD won't be happy with mpv.net either.

So you're saying people use old software even when there are better programs because they don't keep up with technology. Gotcha :)

When it comes to MPC-HC vs MPC-BE, that's absolutely what I'm saying.

First thing that crap did was crash on full screen. Keep it.

debased and cringepilled

MPC-BE with LAV Filters and MadVR as renderer.

Obviously I got a home cinema.

I prefer PTHC. Google it if you're unfamiliar

Why am I suddenly hearing police sirens?

the madvr upscaling filters are great for upscaling sub 1080 to 4k

So are the filters available for mpv. They actually perform better than madvr in some tests.

artoriuz.github.io/mpv_upscaling.html

blatant retardation.

KLite/MPC-HC, anything else is autism

This guys stuck in the early 2000's lel

MPV is locked, it's shit. HDR function of it is trash, LAV/MadVR combo blows it.

madshi pls

mpv

mpv literally cant hold a candle to potplayer

Your display is fucked user...

MPV overall is just less ineffective and less mature.

mpv has been around years. And it's based on mplayer which is OG. MPC-HC can't hold a candle to what mpv can do.

mpv.io/manual/master/

>Been out for years
>still can't properly render HDR

Not to mention less effective filters, less effective rendering and overall worser performance.

I don't get the mpv shill, if you got a brain to setup MPC-BE+LAV+MadVR+xysubfilter it's superior than anything else. Judging by your reply your probably a salty mpv dev or shill.

>artoriuz.github.io/mpv_upscaling.html
This is a good comparison, but it doesn't really show that the scalars are absolutely "more powerful."

FSRCNNX8 looks like a good option on paper, but his charts don't show FPS for NGU, let alone NGU-sharp low/medium results.

There's also the varying FPS differences between AMD/Nvidia cards.

Anyway, the default interface for mpv.net is hideous, how can anyone push this so hard compared to significantly more polished projects?

>still can't properly render HDR
Yes it can. But you're talking about HDR metadata on Windows. Because you know, mpv works on multiple OS's.

>Not to mention less effective filters
Explain what you mean here. I don't really think you know what you mean.

>and overall worser performance
Not in my experience. mpv performs better. And there are have been tests posted to prove it.

>MPC-BE+LAV+MadVR+xysubfilter
Damn, imagine having to do all that when mpv is easier to set up, has equal quality, and better performance. Also, more customization and crossplatform.

I really can't be arsed to explain this in detail since i'd write a essay and you'd probably be too retarded to understand either way. First of all, outside of windows unless your a linux cuck, MPV has no use, there are media players that take no space and no make no noise while nearly providing acceptable quality by hardware decoding/rendering. The only reason to run MPV is to maximize gains which most people run on a HTPC with windows, on this MPV doesn't deliver. Running something like MPC-BE while adding the best of everything like a puzzle ends up superior, your so called "tests" are nothing more then biased tests that prove nothing.

Here is the latest recommended Windows software guide.

Are you drunk?

You're drunk, right?

You blabber about unimportant shit and then contradict yourself lol. You make no sense kek.

You proved my point, enjoy rendering your gay porn in 8k with 10x noise.

Kek
show me these noise comparisons. And provide the settings used. Because there is no way I'm believing you without proof.

ain't using a botnet, ivan

>y-you p-proved my point, good day sir!

you sound like that ubber faggot who used to run 4chanX updates, i think his name was mainhem

sorry pajeet, but i'm not going to use your abomination, no matter how much you shill here :D

>pajeet
>botnet
>shill
You're just a rainbow of original thoughts and insults, aren't you? Please try to post something worth reading.

I use 1080 ti with all performance saving settings unchecked, thus delivering native bit color accuracy from LAV filters which just passes through it instead of outputting it in 16/8 bit to the renderer, nearly every player does this including MPV to safe performance.

I only have 4k true blurays so the only thing I need to upscale is Chroma, I use NGU Standard at very high settings which almost hits the roof on the 1080 ti.

I tried MPV settings, the color accuracy is off with HDR and is similar but worse in SDR, the upscaling filters are worse, they may be sharper but they cause artifacts and require masking, they're unoptimized.

MPV doesn't have settings to engineer around with, it's more built for a casual audience, it also has immature filters that destroy more than they improve, that's all I can say.

Meant that the color accuracy for MPV in SDR is good, but MadVR looks better due to the native output. I watch in HDR only though. I transferred to those 4k 80GB Blurays about a year ago.

I use MPC-HC because MPV is terrible, you can't even install it, wtf is the point in that. Also the UI is horrendous., all that shit all over the bottom of my screen, jesus

>you can't even install it
this is funny because you don't know what you're talking about

>use VLC because its FOSS
I get that this is a lifestyle choice but I'm still curious what compels people to do this
Like is Stallman that convincing

MPC is better than mpv. Only problem I had with it is screen blinking when switching from fullscreen to window mode, which didn't happen in a previous version and I didn't bother to check what was going on. I'm using mpv right now but it's lackluster and has significantly less features. I don't really care about video quality tweaking snce most videos I watch are educational/background noise.

There is literally a batch script included with the Windows builds to install MPV. It sets all the supported video file types to automatically play in it. You don't need anything else when your normal file explorer provides all the other features.

>significantly less features
That's not true through
It's quite the opposite

I use smplayer with mpv backend

He used NGU Very High, it is ~10x slower than FSRCNNX8.

VLC
it just works

MPV because I'm not a try-hard virgin loser

>windows
>Jow Forums
no...

>He used NGU Very High, it is ~10x slower than FSRCNNX8
On the Polaris 470, which is infamously bad at decoding NGU, which therefore makes this an unreliable benchmark for most people.

PotPlayer

i'll use mpv when they have a voulme slider and the controls aren't overlayed over the video and are actually on their own menu bar

shit is like having a massive notch when watching videos

have mpc-hc gotten network stream feature yet?

it can stream but mpv better utilizes ytdl and/or streamlink
