MPV is better than VLC.
VLC for when I just want something to play.
MPV for when I'm ready to speak the voodoo into mpv.config.
mpv for me just works and I don't even touch the config I put in default language for subtitles and audio but other than that I've not touched the config and everything just plays
This. I love VLC, but it let me down today when it couldn't open an m3u8 stream that MPV opened with ease. No config meddling needed.
I miss Media Player Classic. No Linux version from what I understand, and MPV didn't do it for me.
Yeah I've always had issues with VLC on Linux, specifically the video/audio cutting off at the end. It could be fixable but I'm also kind of dumb so. I just switched to Haruna which I think uses mpv? It's been great
Every time I've tried to use MPV I get codec issues. VLC just works.
