I installed VLC on my phone, and I couldn't figure anything out, because it was covered in vague post-skeuomorphic icons without text.
- philistine 5mo agoVLC has atrocious UI, but don't complain, everybody loves the story of the app so it must be perfect in every way!
- bloomca 5mo agoVLC does have atrocious UI but it works great, while macOS stuff both looks bad and does not work well, so I would take VLC easily.
- skhr0680 5mo agoVLC has the best UX in the world. Yes It Will Play That Video! It has a ton of cryptic options, but at least it lets you mess around with them and maybe get something usable, where other apps would just give up and shake their head.
- al_borland 5mo agoBut that’s all I want it to do… play the video. Now it adds those videos to a media library for some reason. I never want this and I never found a way to turn it off. I moved to IINA to finally get back to a video Swiss Army knife that just plays video and doesn’t force me into an experience I don’t want… after tweaking a bunch of settings. A miss Perian, the codec pack for QuickTime, which gave QuickTime and QuickLook that play-anything experience. It played the video and got out of my way.
