vlc

i used to use mpc-hc then both mpc-hc and vlc but nowadays i use just vlc

MPC-BE

Celluloid, I don't need vlc's features

>>25633263 ive never even heard of it sugoi

mpv. It doesn't let you select the subs you want seperate from the video file but I can just add them with ffmpeg and toggle with J. I like that you can adjust the subtitle timing on the fly. The looping feature is also nice.

>>25633292 >The looping feature is also nice. For porn?

>>25633353 that and for looping songs so I can learn it on guitar. You can also slow it down without affecting pitch. mpv is a great little tool.

I have mpv on the htpc and desktop computers and vlc on my girlfriend's computer actually. Because hers is Windows and she accesses the htpc through a web interface I made using the vlc browser plugin.

>>25633287 use it with lossless scaling and you dont need any other media player https://gofile.io/d/35xLYj

>>25633263 >MPC I never understood the appeal It never worked better than anything else and just has an antique interface from 1995

>>25633421 ok zoomer 🥦

vlc was good back in 2015 but there are way better programs than this outdated meme in 2025

what so great about mpc i never used it b4

>>25633489 it just werks(tm)

>>25633276 Why, it werks!

VLC is the best, never had any problems with it!

I like mpv, you can hook yt-dlp into it and stream video with it

I use MPC-HC, until something doesn't work, then I watch that file with MPV, which I finally figured out how to configure so it mostly works like MPC. Only use VLC for trimming bits of music for making menes.

vlc because it does literally everything and its constantly updated

I only use Vlc. No regerts.

Mpv

Vlc is shit in terms of audio quality, literally all of mpc-hc, mpv, potplayer do better. Vlc's strong side is playing something random network related

I hate when KC videos don't play i always seethe

VLC I'm not a nigger.

i use real player

Linux youtubers seem to prefer vlc if I'm not mistaken

>>25634066 The leet loonix haxxers prefer vlc? Fuck I better switch to vlc.

>>25634074 It's common enough it's nice to add

>>25634082 Last time I used vlc it was to convert a video format on a small file, it went on a loop of failures and I had to terminate it in system monitor just to make it close.
