which way white man?

>>106183133 (OP)
Not intelligent enough to make the one on the left to look cool enough, so right it is.

>>106183133 (OP)
I'm not a tranny or tinkertranny so VLC and MPC-HC.

>>106183143
>t. retard
>>106183133 (OP)
mpv is better

>>106183147
I use MPC, why both?

>>106183143
I think uosc looks good with some modifications

>>106183133 (OP)
Whichever one is functional

>>106183162
Linux?
https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt exists but mpv can't display dvd or blu-ray menus, same goes for SMPlayer.

>>106183133 (OP)
VLC because it supports dvd menus :)

>>106183133 (OP)
Losslesscut

>>106183133 (OP)
mpv because it doesn't have a million menus cluttering up the screen

>>106183202
windows mpc-be, used VLC but it just stopped working with files on my server for unknown reasons

>>106183266
This, but MPC-HC is the only software I really miss from Windows alongside SumatraPDF

>>106183133 (OP)
mpv does audio formats vlc wouldn't open but I alwys have to select audio device it never just uses the one the OS has selected

mpc-hc/k-lite

>>106183143
It's not supposed to look cool. It's supposed to play videos. That's the point.

>>106183266
this. it's so simple. i would use vlc if it wasn't the way it is.

MPV is literally the only way.

>>106183133 (OP)

>>106188933
narcissistic tranny

MPV is better but you're an autist if you use it without a front-end.
VLC is just midwhit redditor shit.

VLC has superior AI feature now

Vanilla mpv is the best. It just plays media and shows subtitles on its own, without a clustered UI and the need to touch any config files.
Turning mpv into a browser is indeed retarded

vlc just werks

>>106188821
SMplayer can be configured to use mpv as a backend, and still has a Windows Vista skin.

VLC is better cause it supports NVIDIA Super Resolution which is great for watching old JAV. But for daily use modern Windows Media Player is faster and lighter. For serious use JRiver comes with madVR HDR and WASAPI support out of the box, just pirate it if you don't want to pay

>>106192755
I'm not obsessed with them i just dont want to give them more power than they deserve. By using their program you indirectly support them and their retarded ideas. It's only valid choice if there is no good alternative, like in case of notepad++ (he is not tranny but politically active).

>>106190216
>still werks for every filetype and encoding, even ones that don't work on mpv
Considering both use ffmpeg under the hook for decoding, that's literally impossible both should support the same shit.

mpv because it doesn't have artifacting when un-pausing videos and it's UI is less confusing.

Maybe you should stop playing odd formats and codecs that always struggle to be played.

Also, mpv's UI is literally non existent. Which makes it the choice of autists and other wierdos.

The true white man would ALWAYS chose VLC over mpv.

Try going frame by frame in VLC and watch as it repeatedly shits the bed.

>>106202941
>Also, mpv's UI is literally non existent.
Has everything you need plus hotkeys for more obscure settings.

>>106203073
>you watch videos. you don't watch the GUI
The mpv-retard i replied to does not watch videos but artifacts while pausing/un-pausing a severat times per second through the entire video/movie.
UI is needed to make adjustemts in the settitngs wihtout the need to know every fucking script there is.
No-UI is basically a retarded concept.

>>106203084
>I'm retarded
We know

I talk abotu a usable UI that is there to adjust player settings. mpv wants you to adjust via commando lines and scripts, which is the most retarded way of doing it.
Especially in times of powerful CPU's, GPU's and a shit ton of RAM available in even the most basic rigs these days.
So stop your autism


>>106203087
>Try going frame by frame in VLC and watch as it repeatedly shits the bed.
For what fucking reason should a sane person go frame by frame in a video player when playing a movie or video? If you're not totally wrecked in your head, you will never fell the need to do this. So you are complaining about a non-issue. But that's how autists do. They crybaby about shit that no one but them is interested in.


>>106203098
>Has everything you need plus hotkeys for more obscure settings.
You know well we talk about a settings menu, which mpv totally lacks.

I see, i have triggered the autist userbase of five people worldwide that use mpv here.

>>106203513
>UI is needed to make adjustemts in the settitngs wihtout the need to know every fucking script there is.
just edit ~/.config/mpv/config. it's literally that easy. i'm sorry you have a skill issue

>>106202941
>mpv's UI is literally non existent. Which makes it the choice of autists and other wierdos.

mpv is primarily a media player engine, with an OSC and keyboard shortcuts slapped on top of it.

Use one of the many frontends (iina on a Mac, mpc-qt on Windows, Haruna on KDE, Celluloid on GNOME) if you want a GUI.

>>106183133 (OP)
MPV because the lazy bums at VLC have deemed technically impossible to implement a 'go back one frame' button.

>>106203513
>adjust player settings
What the fuck are you talking about. You double click on a video file and it plays. There's no settings that you need to fiddle with.

>>106203513
>you will never fell the need to do this
That's the reason I know that VLC can't properly do this but MPV can, because I was going frame by frame. Wanting to get the perfect frame to screenshot something or trying to look at something that's barely on screen is not that weird.
>settings menu
Click the menu key on your keyboard, go to key bindings, you can now click on le heckin options with your mouse.

>>106203513
>I talk abotu a usable UI that is there to adjust player settings. mpv wants you to adjust via commando lines and scripts
User error. You don't like it? Don't use it. All you had to say was "Yeah, I don't want to waste 10 minutes looking up a basic config and modifying it to my liking". Instead you go on about how MPV sucks, just say it's not for you and move on.

>>106183133 (OP)
For dvds & discs, vlc
For yt-dlp shenanigans, mpv

This thread makes me glad I never indulged in video player/offline video autism and just use streaming.

>>106205526
Yeah imagine clicking a magnet link, waiting 10 minutes for it to download and then double clicking the video to watch it offline. dreadful

>>106183133 (OP)
why would I use either of those when MPC exists? I don't want WONTFIX french jank or half-finished freetard cancer I have to edit a text file to change simple settings for

>>106205651
>I have to edit a text file to change simple settings for
When would you ever have to change anything?Once you configure it behaves exactly how you want.
>simple settings
Hotkeys, they exist and you can add your own.
It even has one of those menus you love so much!

>>106203642
>just edit ~/.config/mpv/config. it's literally that easy. i'm sorry you have a skill issue
That's exactly what i ment. Why should a sane person need to study config scripts, when a user friendly UI can do the same at a much more convenient level?


>>106203647
>mpv is primarily a media player engine, with an OSC and keyboard shortcuts slapped on top of it.
>Use one of the many frontends (iina on a Mac, mpc-qt on Windows, Haruna on KDE, Celluloid on GNOME) if you want a GUI.
Or simply install VLC and use it's settings UI to change thing if needed. Much easier.

>>106203905
>What the fuck are you talking about. You double click on a video file and it plays. There's no settings that you need to fiddle with.
I see, you never looked into an mpv-general here on /g/
Also, there are settings that some want to change. My point is this can all be done via a structured UI in VLC, while mpv needs you to study informatics before you're able to change something.

>>106204612
>That's the reason I know that VLC can't properly do this but MPV can, because I was going frame by frame. Wanting to get the perfect frame to screenshot something or trying to look at something that's barely on screen is not that weird.
I have taken screenshots of stuff in videos many times in VLC, and i never experienced artifacts preventing me from taking readable screenshots. So this is a non-issue.

>Click the menu key on your keyboard, go to key bindings, you can now click on le heckin options with your mouse.
Or just use VLC's UI for the settings. Much better.

>>106204640
>User error. You don't like it? Don't use it.
You understood what this thread is about? Comparing both VLC and mpv to each other. That's what i'm doing. If you react oversensible to constructive critique, it's not my fault.

>All you had to say was "Yeah, I don't want to waste 10 minutes looking up a basic config and modifying it to my liking".
Tell me one single reason, why someone with a life outside of the computer stuff should gooogle 10 minutes of his life, just to find a config when he can use VLC's settings UI?
It's so pointless to make people google every shit if you could spare people from this by providing a good UI.

>Instead you go on about how MPV sucks, just say it's not for you and move on.
mpv is basically not for people that aren't autists.

>>106206656
>constructive critique
>I want settings menu and I don't like config
Okay it's not for you use MPC-HC instead I guess or if VLC is fine for you use that.
>>106206656
The whole reason I switched from VLC is because of artifacting and one my autistic anime BD Remuxes not opening in VLC.

VLC until I die or it becomes abandonware. MPV has been shilled on /g/ for 10+ years, none of their userbase is authentic, it's all tranime consumers minmaxing their encoding profiles for pirated cartoons.

>>106207762
MPV is recommended by every encoding group on Nyaa.

>>106206640
>I see, you never looked into an mpv-general here on /g/
I haven't because I'm not autistic. Like 99% of people, I just open a media file and it just works.
>there are settings that some want to change
Sounds like you should take your own advice: >>106202941
>Maybe you should stop playing odd formats and codecs that always struggle to be played.
>Maybe you should stop playing scuffed videos which require you to constantly change settings
>Maybe you should stop playing media on shit $30 devices which can't play a video without configuring something

I still haven't seen you explain what "settings" exactly would anyone ever need to change.

>>106207335
>it's not a script and you don't need to "study" it
Whatever, if it's not obvious to the user what to do and how to change things, it's not user friendly.
If you have to search forums to make adjustments in a program, it's not a good nor user friendly program.

>>106209168
>I haven't because I'm not autistic. Like 99% of people, I just open a media file and it just works.
VLC works as well by just double clicking a video.

>Sounds like you should take your own advice
Never had to make any adjusttments to the video playing codecs and their respective settings. VLC works out of the box.
What i talk about is subtitle settings, audio settings and such. Much more convenient to have a UI in the settings menu than having to google scripts or command lines just to do the same.

>Maybe you should stop playing scuffed videos which require you to constantly change settings
>Maybe you should stop playing media on shit $30 devices which can't play a video without configuring something
These are not my words, but your intentionally false assumptions.
Stop projecting.

>I still haven't seen you explain what "settings" exactly would anyone ever need to change.
Doesn't really matter. Settings are settings and it's way easier for the user to be met by a UI where you can change settings to your liking.
But autists will never understand this.

>>106209263
>What i talk about is subtitle settings, audio settings and such
But what exactly are you talking about? What "subtitle and audio" settings?
>Doesn't really matter.
Obviously it doesn't matter when nobody uses it, including yourself.
>These are not my words, but your intentionally false assumptions.
It's literally no different from what you did, retard. If you're going to start arguing like a dumb nigger, then we might as well stick to your level.

>>106209263
>What i talk about is subtitle settings, audio settings and such.
You can change the audio track, volume and mute and unmute the video in the UI what more do you need?

>>106183133 (OP)
More like MPV or MPC-HC? I just finished setting up my new PC so I wonder if there's anything better than MPC-HC now or if I should justs keep using the old reliable.

>>106210295
MPC-HC is superior with madVR

>>106209263
>What i talk about is subtitle settings, audio settings and such. Much more convenient to have a UI in the settings menu than having to google scripts or command lines just to do the same.
I agree, but because you only do it extremely infrequently (ideally only once) I think you're wrong for saying it's needed in the UI. It's nice to have, but no need to spend developer time on. It'll also bloat filesize etc. which some people would dislike, especially for something that can be fixed with a different frontend.

>>106209506
>But what exactly are you talking about? What "subtitle and audio" settings?
I talk audio and subtitle settings and a lot of other settings too. mpv does not have UI so you can make changes. Everything is done via console scripts or whatever the fuck you call it.
Totally worthless
You know well what i'm talking about you retard.

>Obviously it doesn't matter when nobody uses it, including yourself.
Retard, i even gave you a screenshot of a settings UI from VLC and you still are not capable to fathom what i'm talking about.
Stop playing stupid here.

>It's literally no different from what you did, retard. If you're going to start arguing like a dumb nigger, then we might as well stick to your level.
It's you arguing like a dumb nigger if you can't understand the benefits of a UI, even when one got screenshotted and posted here.
But that's how you fucking autists are. Playing the dumb when proven wrong. Jewish debating style this is called.

>>106209506
>But what exactly are you talking about? What "subtitle and audio" settings?
Dude, get into the VLC settings menu and find out yourself. You will experience that you can change things with a click of a button, while you have to rape google for doing the same on mpv.
But you for sure know this already.

>>106210410
>I agree, but because you only do it extremely infrequently (ideally only once) I think you're wrong for saying it's needed in the UI. It's nice to have, but no need to spend developer time on.

Well, in times of large system SSD's and even larger HDDS with like 30TB, i think space is the least of a concern these days. Even RAM is available in abundance.

>>106210590
>But you for sure know this already.
No, I don't. I haven't used VLC in almost a decade. I never needed to change any settings related to subtitles or audio. All I need is there in the UI of mpv.

>>106210590

Okay?

>>106210751
>I never needed to change any settings related to subtitles or audio.
It's not about what YOU need, but what the broad userbase may need.
And i think it's evident, that a structured UI is better than a lack if it.

Why are you guys so obsessed with not having a UI? Are you running computers from 1992 ?

>why are you so obsessed with having a UI
Not obsessed here, but why are YOU obsessed with having no UI for settings other people may need or prefer?

>Nobody needs it my superior overlord and godlike VLC-User
Do retards like you really speak for millions of users?
If YOU don't need it, then don't use it. But fror thos that for some reason want or need it, let them have it.
Where is your problem?
Think again.

>You don't have a UI on a fucking TV ...
You're fucking kidding me right?
Every fucking TV has a UI and setup menu built in to adjust coloration, sound and other shit.

> ... or on your shitty Netflix client either.
What do i know about Netflix clients on devices.
But they have for sure a UI based menu to chose from their library, to put stuff on their "favorites-List" and other stuff.
So even there, you're wrong.
Imagine Netflix starting to strip their app from any UI, just to make their userbase/subscribers to rape google for settings they have to input, that could easily be made with a click of a button.
You now understand how idiotic the concept of "No-UI" is?

Conclusion:
VLC is the better player for white and mentally stable people.
All the others like autists, trannies, poos and niggers, just use mpv since you according to your comments here can't handle menu settings and options anyway.
