A = MPV
B = VLC
C = KODI

Not sure I agree with the Kodi option, as it is a much more elaborate system, and revolves more around media browsing than the actual player.

vlc is shit and kodi is not just a simple video player, so mpv

So mpv or vlc?

mpv on laptop, but

A should be the only right choice

vlc arrow and B should be pixelated and distorted

...

Kodi on my htpc, mpv on pc.

B

mpv and potplayer on pc, kodi on tv and mxplayer on phone

C

I use mpv with and without kodi

explain for one cotton picking minute why MPV has such shitty UI for small windows on hi-dpi displays

D = Potplayer

A

D = MPC-HC

= Down syndrome's owner

(OP)
D = MPC-HC

I agree as well what I use and kodi

D of dead?

MPC HC

MPC-HC for ever

B

VLC for hardware and streams

Windows Media Player (all internet access blocked via ESET firewall) with the K-Lite codec pack for most other things.

C

Iina which is a mpv fork for Mac with touch bar support

That's a dumb comparison. You use Kodi on an HTPC. You would use either VLC or MPV in that situation unless you were a masochist.

D = mpchc

It's not dead. New developers were found. The nightly build has even got some notable improvements already.
