What happened? Didn't it used to be extremely popular?

mpv is better, but I still use VLC on my phone.

VLC is fucking shiet m8. Get K-Lite Codec and stick with WMV. This POS can't even play 4K without lagging.

Autists don't like things that work out of the box. If they can't spend hours configuring their video player first, it's no fun.

more like autists know a bad program when they see one

>plays video without any problems
>bad
?

I weep for you

>Shit audio
>Shit video
>No problems

>Get K-Lite Codec
Fucking hell, I fell for that meme back in like 2009. Having so many codecs on my machine fucked everything.

>shit audio
>shit video
Where? Everything you're saying is extremely general which leads me to believe you don't know what you're talking about.

>upscaling algos suck
>color management sucks
>seeking is shit
>always cuts off last frame of video(very noticeable with webms)
yea, its bad when you compare it to mpv

Works good for me lad and I have a potato laptop. Maybe your hardware problem?

This was last year:

>Get MPC-HC instead
>Live a happy life until I found out MPC's audio is also shit
I later switched to mpv because better audio and autocrop.lua is very fucking useful if you have a 21:9 display.

>not using Windows Media Player
Freetards never learn

I'm screencaping this.

include me in the reddit post xD

Theres a reason why vlc is having an mpv dev implement an mpv library for vlc. Eventually vlc will have the same rendering. It will still be limited compared to mpv though.

It became mainstream.

the Sup Forums wiki is dead

meant for

vlc is the video equivalent of winamp. it's outdated by some people swear by it to this day

It isn't a Sup Forums wiki, it was a shitpost that got stickied because some tryhard dickhead wanted to chronicle his "experience" on Sup Forums, which they quickly lost interest in.

It is really fucking bad.
Try using it on low end hardware, you will last seconds before you drop it and move on to mpv.
Too much stuttering, too much "fuck this, green is a better color anyway".

Mpv is as much "works out of the box" as you can possibly get.

I always asked myself why Sup Forums hates VLC

>Try using it on low end hardware

Good thing I'm not a poorfag.

mpv looks cool, thanks Sup Forums
