  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I’ve not had any disappointing results from VLC. Is there a reason why MPV would be recommended over VLC or MPC-BE?

    [–] jroid8@lemmy.world 45 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

    I have both VLC and MPV and VLC used to take 0.5 second to seek forward while MPV being completely seamless. But I just tested again today and VLC has become seamless too with very minor differences. idk what changed

    Edit: to answer your question I can't say much other than preferences. I like MPV because it's minimal, but VLC is good too

    The problem I have with vlc is it's too minimal. I use the playback settings a lot and there are looping and playlist to enqueue videos. It's just easier to use and you don't have to memorize a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for a damn video player.

    mpv has a video controller on screen and if that isn't enough, you can use smplayer which is GUI frontend for mplayer & mpv
