What's Sup Forums's media player of choice?

How do I set this thing up to start watching my chinese cartoons?

Google it.

Just use vlc, or go to commie and follow their guide.
>inb4 buy the blu-rays

download cccp and dont worry about anything else

>just use vlc

MPC hc + madvr

MPC-HC or Bomi.
Whatever I feel like using that day.

I remember it was either some subs group or a torrent site that had instructions for mpc hc setup. Wish I could remember which one.

>vlc
awful.

nobody uses this shit anymore.

bad

bad

>needing instructions for setting up a video player

holy fuck.

...

Just get the CCCP package and you are good to go.

/thread.

You my man, know what's up, unlike these MASSIVE PLEBS in this thread.

If Windows: MPC-HC + MadVR + xysubfilter. Manual installation. Do not use CCCP/KCP as they can cause playback problems later on.
If Linux: mpv

>sudo apt install mpv
>steal some weeb's mpv.conf

CCCP.

Don't listen to the autists who tell you otherwise.

Wow, feels like forever since I've seen one of these. Takes me back.

Why are you trying to ruin his anime watching experience?

Mpc-hc + madvr or mpv on Windows.
MPV on Linux and Mac.

Firefox built in video player

use windows media player

MPC+CCCP
Don't fall for the mpv meme.

Which one is the most lightweight/has the most minimal appearance? I'm sick of seeing the toolbars and menus in vlc when in windowed mode

Whatever happened to SVP?

Convert every frame to monochrome and then set up a grid with the resolution of the video, hire a guy and you start from the top left to right, line by line, telling him which boxes in the grid to fill with paint.

Do that for every single frame, set all those grids across the city and go on a car drive fast enough looking out the window to see the show animated. Additionally, have the guy you hired narrate the lines from the show.

>MPC+CCCP

What did he mean by this?

Potplayer + near vanilla mpv

Man, you lost me at [code].

screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/197636
NGU is so good that 720p upscaled to 1080p with NGU looks nearly indistinguishable from an anime mastered at full 1080p.
>b-but muh sense of superiority from using something without a GUI
MadVR is better. Deal with it.

why is VLC considered a shit? I've yet to have an user rationalize this beyond meme language.

what is even this?

learn to trust the defaults, son

Streaming is easier and faster than messing with torrents and players

That being said MPV

This. Setting up a config is surprisingly easy, and is highly customizable. And default controls are intuitive. Supports encoding, and with scripts you can make webms on the fly easy as pie. Pic related.

I switched from MPC to VLC so that I can watch my anime at 1.5x speed without chipmunk voices.

mpv for sure.

Just use potplayer homie.

That's much better upscaling than mpv can do.

well then what do you use you fucking faggot

>Supports encoding
>ffmpeg
>avconv
>mpv
we don't want to learn another set of encoding parameters

Sure if you like ringing

Like I said, you don't have to, as someone made a script to frontend for it.

You were probably told a real answer, you were just too stupid to understand it.

VLC decodes video poorly. It's not that hard to understand. This mean the colors are not the correct shade as the original source, there are tearing issues, and adds grain to the image. Among other things.

>ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vf scale=960:-1 -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 2M -sn -an -y output.webm

I memorized this.

Yeah, linux only.

>MadVR's NGU
>a ringing problem
No. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Did you memorize what each argument does also?
Linux is for anime, Windows solely for games and the technologically illiterate.

This was all fixed years ago, vlc being bad is an old meme.

MadVR has surpassed mpv in terms of picture quality and Windows has far more audio processing options. Windows is objectively superior for anime for the well informed.

I don't give a fuck about madvr. Strictly talking from the said example.

SMPlayer with the MPV source and the YouTube plugin. Not the best option, but very comfortable.

How much is VLC paying you to say this?

MPC
VLC for old anime so that I can apply noise filter since most of them have DVD sources that took the grain away and fucked the colors and overall quality up

I'm looking at it up close on a 32" display. I see no ringing. I'm looking closely at a still frame and see no ringing. There's no way anyone is going to see any ringing in motion. Pure autism.

Using VLC is the equivalent of using internet explorer

Zoom Player (with CCCP) master race reporting in.

I BOUGHT my player, you worthless moochers.

Potplayer + EVR custom.
With a 1440p monitor good upscaling with MadVR is just painful for my GPU. Also I don't like how MadVR interprets the colours, or maybe I didn't configure it right, but at this point I just don't care.
MPC-HC is for oldfags.

>Not using pacman

MPC-BE

>WILLINGLY JOINING KIMJONG'S BOTNET

mpc-hc nightly (for the latest built-in lave filters), xy-subfilter, madVR

That's all you'll usually need.

OS you use means nothing.
Then again this type of logic is to be expected from a linux user.

I've made lua scripts that do the same thing on Windows. It's trivial.

Just use MPC with K-Lite if you want to be cool like me.

WMP lol

>I've made lua scripts that do the same thing on Windows. It's trivial.
Why aren't they on github/similar for others to contribute to and use?

mpc-hc can adjust pitch, just

MPV

CROSS PLATFORM

FAST STARTUP TIMES

EASY ON SYSTEM RESOURCES

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE

JUST WORKS

MPV

GO INSTALL GENTOO AGAIN

Is using KCP bad?

patrician

Use mpv, the devs are video quality autists who are also weebs.

It's dead, hasn't been updated for over 2 years.

mpv is too complex for your average normie
they need their bloated guis

I just use an outdated version of KCP, funny enough every time I've tried to switch to Linux I've given up because mpv sucks dick.

Oh, but is fine to use it as it is right now, yes?

MADVR DEV IS THE BETTER WEEB VIDEO QUALITY AUTIST

mpv with a few performance tweaks in the config, feels great being able to watch anime above 480p on this toaster.

>needing to customize your video player to an autistic extent and still not be any better than MPC

Soooo.... I really think those of you saying VLC has issues are crazy. I shure cant tell a diffrence in side by side compairisons. Maybe a tinny tinny bit of diffrent colors. But really.... Not seeing it.

I have a decent IPS display too soooo.... I would imagine I could see such a thing

You can use MPV bone-stock.

You need to use a frontend like SMPlayer. MPV is just a barebones media engine.

>being an autist who runs linux

isnt madvr cpu expensive.
i mean what if i want to have like 10 porn vids up to fap to(i actually do usually have +5 videos playing when fapping). all of them running madvr would kill my shit.

Even mpv with no config changes is already better than MPC, you usually only customize shit after you have an idea of how things look in your machine and how you want them to be.

>complaining about autism on an /ag/ thread

Not really, I shilled mpv to some normalfags and they just appreciated how simple it was. Stick profile=opengl-hq if you wanna use some of the more fancy settings.

MPV gives me far more control. That's why I prefer it over MPC.
It's not always about how the playback looks.(It's pretty much placebo IMO)

I still use KCP and have been for years now.
Works perfectly fine. VLC is shit and MPV is barebones shit that people only use because they think it makes them cool in the eyes of Sup Forums tards, when in reality they're just retards for making what should be an easy process unnecessarily complicated.

What are your toaster specs

Madshi's source code leaked and it became apparent he doesn't know what he's doing, meanwhile haasn is one of us. He maybe lurking in this thread right now...

>not being capable of running both

>paying for media player software

> unnecessarily complicated.
you download the binary and double-click your file.
what's unnecessarily complicated about that?

it's popular on Sup Forums because it gives you the freedom to customize/script for it.

if you think changing some values in a config file is complex..then im sorry but you're fucking retarded.

>NOT HAVING A DEDICATED GPU COMPUTE CLUSTER TO UPSCALE YOUR 720P WEEB VIDS TO 8K WITH MADVR NGU

I don't want to be bullied too hard so I'll just say that it's a 12 years old machine, and leave the rest to your imagination.

You seem like an idiot, please don't use Linux or mpv.

Yo.

UNNECESSARY COMPLEXITY INCOMING.

I have an old laptop from 2005 that I used to watch 720p on, only slowdown was from really animated scenes.
