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

@Aerione yeah that sounds about right

Well see

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

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/mplayer-changes.rst

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.

etc

It's superb when streaming videos

There's a bunch of shit here

Which I do a lot of

mpv is a lovely bit of kit. How well does it fare on Windows?

I should grab it.

Chpater skip with pgup, screenshots in png

Works fine on Windows too

if you configure it

the Windows build however opengl-hq

It's not DirectX whatever based

not like it matters

yeah I actually use smplayer now that I'm sort of over using linux in turbonerd mode (I keep having to use windows and or don't care enough anymore)

mpv was recommende to me by a bunch of professional anime watchers who really liked the upscale tech and interpolation

And I kinda ended up liking it too

oh yeah isnt there some weird prog on windows that does upscaling as well?

MadVR does it

yeah thats it
