I may try this out - I had to move away from VLC because getting it to properly do hardware decoding/deinterlacing on Linux has been like pulling teeth. If you've got a modern video card, it's hard to go back to software deinterlacing after seeing how good it looks when done by the GPU, and I could never reliably get it to work. Eventually moved to SMPLayer which works great, but it would be nice to see it working right in VLC.

I may try out VLC 3 again. I had moved to MPC-BE (Media player classic home cinema black edition) due its superior UI and 4K hardware support and dual-device audio-output (PC 5.1 speaker plus over HDMI to TV). And MPC-BE allows one to quickly skip through a movie by dragging the mouse. And MPC-BE can play partly corrupt files too, one can even skip around such files. VLC 2x sucks at all these things, yet it's still better than traditional Windows Media Player or iTunes. VLC 1x was quite good back then, but 2x was a let down and MPC-HC and MPC-BE are simply better for several things. But let me try VLC 3 again, maybe things improved. > SMPLayer It's a light GUI over ffmpeg library, so the video playback is great, but the UI looked like a fisherprice toy and it was a rough experience two years ago. On Win64 MPC-BE is a lot better.
