Normi friendly

no GPU acceleration for X265/HEVC videos even if your graphics card supports it

no export/import setting for keyboard shortcuts

automatically uploads metadata of your files by default in order to get """""""""""""""album covers""""""""""""""" and """"""""""""""""""""""""lyrics"""""""""""""""""""""""""

built-in chromecast botnet button

very slow seek times for X265/HEVC videos

screenshot naming scheme has been broken for literally 10+ years (VLC-snap-Error2185315.png etc)

uses incorrect color range out of the box by default, resulting in black becoming light gray

french made program


MPC-BE (open source from russia) doesn't have these problems

mkv playback corruption
other than that no reason not to use it

it asks you when first launched if you want to enable metadata botnet
VLC is free software

Absolument basé.

They ask you first and you can disable it later.

ho btw x264, x265, dav1d are also vlc projects.

Slow af. Pretty much just exists because Linux needs its own media player with all codecs built in as freefags make things difficult intentionally.

I don't hate it so there's no "we".

Windows is the only good OS if you're a PC Gaming Master Race member. Admit, the reason we use computers is for games.

Tended to crash on me at lot on Windows, but worked okay the few times I tried it on Gentoo.

it discriminates against adults who watches chinese kiddie cartoons, by being optimized for normal movies

for anime titties and feet too.

Because autists always want to be contraction, even if it means using something that's worse

I use VLC for audio and MPC-HC for video, VLC is good, it plays music that's all i want

Artifacts and worse default keyboard shortcuts than mpv

Because vlc had a big dick

Its a great piece of software imo
Does more than mpv

increase file caching
rebind keys to taste

The only reason I use it is for the ISO playback. MPV doesn’t handle that correctly.

The two sticking VLC memes I remember are getting colorspaces wrong and the software renderer (which was the standard for a long time before VLC enabled hardware decoding in 3.x by default) missing keyframes on seeking.
Its biggest strength over other media players is in streaming formats, which is why I have keeping it as a backup alongside mpv or MPC-HC.

This.

>we

don't get me wrong i don't use vlc because i know why its bad, i use mpc, but i still haven't had that problem unless i'm trying to watch something on a computer that might not be powerful enough to decode the video im trying to watch.

MPV can play it with single dropped frame.

>werks on my machine :^)

I don't hate it, but I also don't use it.
MPC-HC, and MPV are pretty much what I've used for a decade.

Botnet.

Bandwagon and meme's

>PC Gaming Master Race
This site is for adults only

I like vlc
my only complaint is that it doesnt use frames instead of video time
if anyone knows of a player that shows framecount and lets you go frame by frame easily I will totally switch :)
has to support most of the same file types though

this used to happen a lot to me as well

outdated, slow engine FFmpeg
"hidden features" that only bloat the software
filmora.wondershare.com/video-player/vlc-player-tips-10-hidden-features.html

clumsy keyboard shortcuts that cannot be exported/imported

>no menu playlist option
how do you even cope?

to teach you a lesson

and yet here you are child

who cares, as long as i can watch porn

If I need to install a media player on a normie's pc, I install VLC. But for my pc, I install MPV

Use mpc hc , nigger. Right and left arrows maybe together with control key can go frame-by-frame. Its a bit buggy tho.

Foobar is better

MPC-HC randomly locks my computer up for 30-45 seconds just to load one video. VLC doesn't.

thanks user~ c:
this will make editing easier for skimming through renders to find crop points

The organization is called VideoLAN. VLC is one of their original projects.

>more likely to produce corrupted playback than other media players
>seeking is sluggish for higher resolutions (i.e. when fast forwarding the shown frame won't update with every jump) or produces corruption
>fast forwarding may allow you to seek beyond the video's duration (which produces corrupted playback)
>many scaling algorithms/filters are only available via ffmpeg and therefore mutually exclusive with hardware decoding
>there's no keybind for going a single frame backwards
>the advanced menu is a confusing mess, even with its search function
>the snapshot function always decodes the video as BT601 (frame extraction via ffmpeg?)

I think the first Kraftwerk album is pretty good.

Because it's cross-platform, plays just about everything, and just works out of the box with zero configuration. There's no steep learning curve to climb and then sneer at noobs from the top of.

Hardware issue.

holy BASED

When did you grow out of VLC and upgrade to Acestream, Jow Forums?

Attached: icon_14.png (256x256, 31K)

It's just that it's "overhyped".
It's a pretty good player if you use to play streams/videos through your network

What the fuck is this even

that doesn't happen on my machines. you must have a virus.

because it works properly out of the box so you can't get nerd-cred for setting it up

>coffee filter
?

Terrible icon? Definitely yes.

Worst icon of all time? Maybe.

Nonsane defaults

you are correct but also slightly pedantic

SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS TO DO THE NEEDFUL

Video Lane Cone. What did you expect the icon to have in it?

ffplay does playback better and it’s only intended to be used for testing. so many other choices, why would you use VLC?

It. Just. Works

I don't really hate it. I use it to watch films that are bad quality but I use mpc for higher quality because vlc, i dont know why, lags like a bitch on my i5 lapto

>shitty vsync
>shitty de-interlacing for old interlaced video (DVDs)
>Please wait 5 minutes to rebuild font cache
>Interface is cluttered with worthless rendering options barely anyone uses anymore
It's not bad to use a backup, but it's shit for using a main player.

install gentoo

Been swearing by it for years. Too bad MPC-HC is EOL, I wish someone would pick it up again.

What is MPC-BE?

there's a ton of forks of MPC-HC that are still getting commits today fool

To store the lube.

okay but imagine the smell when you put it through a coffee maker after you use it lol

Cause this.

Based media player. I've used it forever. Don't really sea a reason to switch, as it works on my machine

sounds like you're retarded

because it often has problems, which forces me to use MPC-HC again

different user, but whats the best fork

when u become so autistic and u hate chromecast

No.

>hardware issue
Then why does MPV never have this problem across multiple machines?

Only faggots do.

if you have loop on, but the video doesn't play for some reason, it will keep trying to play it until it crashes.

>no GPU acceleration for X265/HEVC videos even if your graphics card supports it
>very slow seek times for X265/HEVC videos
Where the fuck are you even finding these? I only saw some x265 movies and some Family Guy seasons. And it also worked on my machine.

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but I'll ask anyway: recently my friend subscribed to a Chinese-based pirate porn website so he can download a subs based porn. He has been using this service for 2 years until one of the most requested video was sorta "locked" behind what I think to be a proprietary video player and it requires a special code to decode it. The video format ends with .223 and the player are simply named 播放器.exe. My friend tried to run the player but no luck and even changed his locale to Chinese (and language) yet it still didn't work. Anyone ever worked or familiar with this format?

What is the media player to use instead?

VLC is shite when it comes to using .ass subtitles

>.ass subtitles
Where the fuck are you even finding this shit?

Enjoy chang’s malware you retard. Oops, I mean your “friend”.

Who gives a fuck?

uhuh and as soon as you open in any other media player the issue doesnt exist at all, even on fucking wmp

cope

Nope, it's not me. He asked me about it because I understand a little bit of Mandarin but alas none of the explanation that was provided in the site really tells us anything. He paid $15 for it so he sure as hell would love to get his money worth. Granted it's a subscription based (kinda like how TSDM/.pl handles their stuff) but this is the first I have encounter for him to be asked to use a specialized program to play the video. From what I read in the comment section of the release, everyone outrages about it because their usual release is in the standard .mp4 format yet this time they released it in a weird .223 format. I mean I come here to try and get an understanding of what this stuff is but I didn't see an /mpv/ general up.

>Very Large Cone
Disable hardware decoding in LAV settings, your igpu is shit

Musicbee is better
