Same here. VLC UX/UI has been a nightmare from the start, in the early days when it was the counterpart to IIRC VLS we eventually gave up on VLC to use mplayer instead.
Don't get me wrong VLC is an incredibly useful and great software available on many platforms, both UI and UX have improved a lot since the early days but still confusing. This arguably bad UX is the reason VLC is a second class citizen to MPC-HC / smplayer on all the computers I maintain.
- jbergstroem 9y agoYou might find IINA on macOS refreshing: https://github.com/lhc70000/iina https://github.com/lhc70000/iina (note: I understand that linking to other software might come off as offensive, but I truly feel there is a place for both. VLC is pretty much irreplaceable for many, many things)
- jbk 9y agoSorry, but I hate those kind of posts. They are just vague and don't say anything useful... What part is confusing? What is confusing in VLC that is not in the other ones? The main UI has max 10 buttons. Especially when comparing with MPC-HC and smplayer and mplayer, which are 3 different look, UI and UX... Sorry, you just sound like the usual hater...
