It's been mpv for a long time now.

i'm pretty sure mpc will work just fine for another 5 years for sure

Feels great to not fall for memes.

just keep using mpc-hc with madvr > profit

>using the worst video player ever made

kek

>dead
Its not dead it's complete.
The perfection is achieved, mothing more to do.

Feels great to not be underaged and angsty.

Dead, complete, it's all the same. If the devs move on, the majority of the userbase will move on. As it should be.

¿?¿?¿?

mpv is vastly inferior.

>stop baiting in a bait thread
Why are you getting triggered in a thread solely devoted to shitposting?

I'd ask you to explain your statement without using meaningless Sup Forums kiddo memes, but you can't, so I won't.

Name any actual problems with it? I'm guessing you're just a hipster who doesn't want to use anything normies use.

This. Best player to enjoy high quality YIFY rips in all their glory.

Just like being a hipster who only uses crap he knows Sup Forums hates, right?

No it really doesn't. I mean I wish it did, VLC has more functionality and a more user friendly UI than other players, but it's shit for stability.

VLC's gui is messy shit, just like with any foss software

I switched to mpv 5 months ago. Its great.

Anyone suggesting VLC is a brain dead mongoloid. MPC is superior.

That's not saying much. I'd argue that WMP is superior.

try again

That said, it's good bait. This one is gonna hook the kiddos.

>bait

try again, again. MPV results are in spoiler alert: They're even worse.

VLC just works, unlike your stupid MPV.

You've been making this thread for years now

Needs more jpeg

vlc is so shit it cant even pause/play when clicking on video. name other video player that also cant do it, you literaly cant

Dead mpc-hc will still be miles ahead of mpv.

>it cant even pause/play when clicking on video

I turn this off on mpc-hc. Clicking a video to pause it should be a Youtube-only thing.

mpv if you want to config
VLC if you don't

>mpv if you want to config
But you don't have to.

1. install smplayer, it uses mpv
2. enable the mpc theme
Done

prepare for VLC's settings dialog to explode when libplacebo lands

Using Smplayer with mpv degrades the quality of mpv

1) download mpv
2) run it with no bloat, no install needed

done

potplayer + madvr seems pretty gud

not him but I think I know what you're talking about, smplayer doesnt support the new mpv profiles yet right?

I've used potplayer for a long time now on windows, its good and has a lot of nice options. on nix though I just use mpv because the other options are all abandonware or just shit like smplayer.

mpv without any configuration works same, if not better, than VLC.

>not him but I think I know what you're talking about, smplayer doesnt support the new mpv profiles yet right?
it's nothing like that (although I don't doubt it); smplayer sets like 20 different fucking legacy mplayer options that force mpv into all sorts of fallback modes, fuck with hwdec, enable expensive CPU filters for stuff mpv could otherwise do for free on the GPU, fuck with the colors, disable features like subs-in-margins etc.

basically smplayer just literally don't give a shit about supporting mpv properly so they just took the mplayer code with their 10 years worth of shitty work-arounds, changed the executable path, and called it a day

this guy knows what what's up!

this. why would anyone use anything other than mpv

There's literally no reason whatsoever to use mpc-hc over mpv nowadays. mpv has all the functionality built-in, performs better, looks insanely better and is in a completely different universe when it comes to customization and configuration.

>needing updates

It works, it doesn't connect to the internet, you can still upgrade LAV filters for it.

>it just werks
But it does not, as proven by this nice bait

Use mpv like a good Sup Forumsentooman

This.

On MacOS you should really look into IINA. It's pretty fucking fast compared to mpv and others. At least on my 2017 iMac. Also it's lightweight and looks pretty good.

I hope you're not this retarded, IINA is a front-end to mpv. It can't be faster than mpv when it's literally mpv.

>On MacOS you should really look into IINA. It's pretty fucking fast compared to mpv
KEK

HAHAHAHA. I really didn't know that. Shame on me. But it really is faster. When I drag a .webm from Safari onto the IINA-icon it opens almost instantly. When I try it with mpv it takes a few seconds.

Maybe something's wrong with my system but it is reproducible.

Probably just different default settings.

Why'd I need more updates when it's already perfect? It just works.
MPC-HC w/ KCP is all I need.

mpc-be?

>my perfectly functioning video player doesn't recieve updates so I need to stop using it RIGHT NOW
People actually have this mentality?

Yeah, that could be it. But I'm too lazy to look into that.

enjoy your useless player when AV1 comes out next year.

You know you can update LAV filters manually, right?

you know mpv is alive and well and your player is dead, right?

Nice of you to move the goalposts. The player is perfectly fine and you can update all the other important shit like LAV and madVR yourself.

yeah I can do that with 1 program while you have to do that with 3.

I don't need your bloat.

I prefer mpv. I can get as good picture quality as mpc-hc+madvr while using less resources. Vulkan made performance in mpv even better for me too.
I like the config file more than menus as well. Its way more customizable.

t. Windows and linux user

mpc-qt

This is the only right answer if you wanna stay on Windows.
Wish I could use mpc-be on GNU/Linux. Alas, mpv is good enough.

mpv with VLC as a backup, in case there's a setting that's too autistic to add to mpv

Is there a reason to switch from kawaii codec pack to MPV?

>using a codec pack over 1 single exe

is this 2003?

>…Unless some people step up that is.
>So, if someone’s willing to really contribute and has C/C++ experience, let me know

That was written in July. Why does this project have a difficult time getting people to contribute? Is there something weird (or toxic) about the project that causes teh FOSS community to avoid it?

>kawaii
>not CCCP

>Why does this project have a difficult time getting people to contribute?

Because the community has moved to mpv which works on Linux, Mac, Windows, and Android.

MPC-HC is dead because it was limited to Windows. The rise of Android basically killed it.

Ever notice how Windows HTPCs are being replaced by Android boxes?

>MPC-HC plays every-fucking-thing out there
>why people seem to constantly want updates to something that already does everything is fucked up

Get over it.

do i need to upgrade?
i don't care that much about video quality unless it looks horrible.
i like the mpchc ui very much and i dont want to move away from it.

>Is there something weird (or toxic) about the project that causes teh FOSS community to avoid it?
It's probably because it's a Windows only project. Most people who contribute to free software projects usually prefer GNU/Linux, which is also free software.
MPC sadly has countless Windows dependencies, so a port would be unfeasible.
It sucks because it's a really good program overall. It should have been made with a multi-plat mind from the ground up, though.

MPDN with SVP

The best of all worlds.

>do i need to upgrade?

you can't because MPC-HC is dead.

you're stuck. enjoy that.

>why people seem to constantly want updates
Don't media players suffer from security exploits? I understand from a functional standpoint "it just werks". But from a security standpoint, does the lack of review/updates worry you? Or anyone using the software?

>i like the mpchc ui very much
MPC-HC UI is so ugly compared to MPC-BE.

yes i know. i meant "upgrade" to another program.
and believe me, i WILL enjoy being stuck unless you give me a reason not to

not yet, but when new codecs, technologies, renderers, VR video and whatever other nonsense shows up, MPC will be obsolete

i disagree, and i use it borderless most of the time anyway

I want you to be stuck there, though. Makes me happy.

I can't find a reason to use anything else right now.

This. Also why the fuck you would want updates for video player ? It still plays shit like it did before.

>Also why the fuck you would want updates for video player ?

to keep up with codecs and improve performance and fix bugs, dummy

probably a windows user who's not used to the idea of software getting /better/ over time

>What is our new official video player, Sup Forums
it never changed it was always and will always be mpv

>some still use codec packs like CCCP and Kawaii
>some still use outdated players like MPC and VLC
>some still use inferior GNU-based operating systems
>some still fuck with 3DPD

Oh boy, the "MPC is dead" meme again

forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=174738

It aint.

I was reluctant to jump to mpv but it has all the features I'd miss from MPC-HC now. So it was a painless switch. I'm not sure it will please the madvr autists but the opengl-hq setting alone is a massive noticeable quality improvement over base MPC-HC.

Haven't updated MPC-HC in two years and you're telling me now suddently it will stop working?
I thought Sup Forums was smart.

I just tried VLC and it was shit. I'm not ready to lose MPC HC

Nice post, shill.

>I'm not sure it will please the madvr autists but the opengl-hq setting alone is a massive noticeable quality improvement over base MPC-HC.
but then why not use madvr if it's better...

>why not use madvr if it's better...

it's not

>thread is also dead

great

I use mpv to watch videos, video streams and read manga.
