I stopped using VLC when I found mpv [0]. I really like it because it exposes everything from the CLI, so once you're familiarized with the flags you're interested in using, it's easy to play anything. For everyday usage it "just works" too, as expected of any video player.

- kakarot 10y agoI'll check it out and let you know what I think. Thanks~
- nitrogen 10y agoHow does it compare to mplayer? My biggest complaint about mplayer is it still doesn't play VFR videos well.
- 77pt77 10y agoI've tried it. * Sane defaults (encodings and fonts, scaletempo for audio) * instantaneous play of next and previous videos * navigation in random playlist actually works * Easy always on top key binding * Most mplayer key bindings work I'll definitely keep on trying it for a while.
- Drdrdrq 10y agoDoes it include all the codecs by default? I think this was a major reason VLC succeeded the way it did. With all other players (BPlayer anyone?) you needed to find and install tons of codecs while in VLC it just worked.
- 77pt77 10y agoIt has played everything I've thrown at it so far...
- kakarot 10y agoman... that's a big manual :) I think I can find some use for this in certain situations. Still lacks a good playlist building schema.
