  Looking it up, MPV supports the LUA scripting language. The advantage there is cropping video, from what I’m reading. If cropping is possible with VLC, I’m not aware of it, and I’m a VLC fan.

  > Can you explain what mpv offers over vlc ? People have complained about VLC's decoding quality in the past (no specific source but lots of google results). I'm sure there's valid bugs that have been patched over and some still there, but I'd take it with a grain of salt since VLC is super popular and therefore more noise when it drops the ball. That said, I personally prefer MPV since I can display multiple subtitles at once (for learning foreign languages) and also drop in upscaling / sharpening filters like [1]. Oh and VLC is kinda buggy on my android 14 pixel when streaming from ftp / samba sources (video freezes when seeking too often).

    VLC is my daily driver, but I get a few audio buffering issues that do not appear to be present in mpv. mpv also handles incomplete/partially broken files significantly better.

  (For me) mpv is faster. I had videos that vlc could not play without stutter (on my CPU) but mpv had no issues. Just layman's observation.
