> All the videos I’ve encountered so far online and offline have played fine. Unlike QuickTime X player on macOS the GNOME video player has speed controls! Is there a way to get better performance out of Gnome video player when scrubbing back and forth in a video? Quicktime 7 and X on macOS (and commercial tools like RV on Linux) are great at this, and it would be cool to have an open source equivalent.

Wait, gnome has a video player? Why would anyone user anything other than videolan VLC?

  Because mpv is better

    In what sense? I don't think I've ever used mpv, I am really curious why you believe it is better. The reason ive stuck with vlc is because it can handle anything you throw at it, and has a responsive and minimal UI. If I find anything equally good I wouldn't mind trying it out

      mpv beats VLC at that game. :)

        ...aren't they both using ffmpeg? Where's the difference coming from?
