Got MX player patched with DTS and Dolby decoding
Else, you might wanna use another codec pack
I remember mx being the only player not to lag with hd video or something on my 2012 cheapass phone
I don't have any codec pack and I didn't have any issues so far
Then what's the point of VLC?
It plays shit
Its main point is that "it can play anything"
Beyond that, it loses to any specialized player
I prever mpv over VLC anyday
When I go to my friend and see VLC playing videos
We android here
I get kinda sad
Yeah, but VLC in general even now.
It's kinda behind all other video players even on desktop
even some webms can't be played properly on it
maybe after their latest upate
I heard it struggles with VP9 Webms
vlc was able to play and record some shady korean rtsp porn channel i found so it has its uses
I wonder where I have that recording
VLC is made for network streaming
mpv is a VASTLY superior player
Other than that, on Windows, if MPC can't do something, I see if VLC can.
yeah I generally use mpc-hc, mplayer on gnu+linux
Sounds correct to me.
what is up with this mpv meme
MPV is good.
It's one for the terminal folks.
I've never not been able to do anything with mpc-hc
mpv im_gay.mp4
like mplayer? or better
I have no idea. Let me look it up.
mpv is supposedly based on mplayer.
so
oh so it probably has a few more features
Re-enable screensaver while the player is paused.
Allow resuming playback at a later point with Shift+q, also see the quit-watch-later input command.
I use mpv on Windows and GNU/Linux
Better pause handling (e.g. do not unpause on a command).
Precise seeking support.
Improvements in audio/video sync handling.
Do not lose settings when playing a new file in the same player instance.
