>MPC-HC is not under development since 2017...Huh? You're telling me this is /a/'s media player of choice? This 8 year-old abandonware? The devs literally told people to use anything else
I use VLC
Should I switch from VLC to MPV?
Works on my machine.
What am I meant to switch to?
Yes. Use mpv. It's light, clean and it just works.
it still works.
>>282074408It's called feature complete, zoomer
>>282074502But where are the signs of life?
>>282074502>multimedia>feature complete
>he doesn't know
It. Just. Werks.
>know not he
>>282074408>/a/'s media player of choiceThat's mpv
People stopped caring about this since about 2017-2018 reallyFor better or worse. No one here gives a fuck about codecs or encoding or all that shit anymore probably because all the anime comes from crunchyroll rips and no one subs, encoding has more or less stagnated at x265, anime resolution has become stagnated at 720-1080p (well maybe I haven't kept up with what resolution each anime is natively in since like 2018ish again) hardware differences stopped mattering much a bunch of reasons.
>>282074408I'm using the clsid2 fork with madvr and xysubfilter and it works fine.
>>282074606he
>>282074502Feature complete, including getting malware from video files on your completely unmaintained media player.Enjoy your viruses.
>>282074408You want clsid2's fork. That's still actively developed.https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

>>282074408imagine using windows at all.
>>282074833>>282074863Actively developing what?
>>282074889Most of them are just small things like updating LAV filter versions and fixing any minor bugs.
i've been using k-lite for like 20 yearshttps://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
I've been using mpv because there are plugins to make webms (though I wish it allowed splicing multiple cuts together like Webm for Retards does) and to avoid using signs and songs sub tracks by default.
>>282074408It's a fucking video player dude it doesn't need updates.
>>282074852>getting malware from video filesHmm yes I also download my anime from freebitcoins.ru
It's crazy how this exact thread gets posted once every month specifically to bait mpvtards, but the same people keep responding to OP anyways

>>282074889Read the pic in >>282074833 for an overview of features that have been added. The link in >>282074863 also says they're planning to make the toolbar layout customizable next.
I did have a weird issue with MPV recently while watching Nanoha Strikers. The subtitles in the epilogue were displaying wrong. I have no idea why this happened. It worked fine in MPC. But this is the only time I saw this with MPV as well.
>>282074789Pretty much this. Aside from stuff to reduce banding, why are we worrying about codec compatibility at all? If you're using what is most commonly available, isn't starved for bitrate, and still has decent file size when it's ripped from the BD, who cares?
>>282074945the only thing worse than still using K-Lite is still using CCCP.
>>282075133what's wrong with k-lite?
>>282074446No
>>282075183A better question is what benefit do you think using a codec pack in 2025 offers you? Every major video player supports every codec you're likely to come across these days. The only reason I've found for downloading a codec pack recently was that it got the cutscenes in some old video games to play.
>>282075133what's wrong with communism
>>282075219like i said before, i've been using for 20 years. i don't why i should switch to anything else. it does everything i need.
>>282075043
it still works, what's the issue?
>>282075242nothing
>>282075294based
>>282074833>>282074863My one big complaint is that MPC Video Renderer (which it uses by default) suddenly got godawful color and upscaling a few years back, and resetting MPCVR's settings doesn't seem to fix it. EVR-CP and MadVR look fine.Dug up my old screenshots from the archive, which still hold true. Pic related is MPC Video Renderer, upscaling I think 1080p to 1440p.
>>282075325And this is EVR-CP.
>>282074408Yes and I still have CCCP in my old laptop that I still use now and then, using lav-filters on my desktop.
>>282075343And finally MadVR, which looks basically like EVR-CP, maybe a tiny bit sharper.
>>282074408>Not just using default Windows Media PlayerHell, windows 11 can also play videos from the photo viewer.
>>282074408Wolves didn’t bother evolving because they are already perfect. Anything else is just knock-off trash.
>>282075106What version of MPV are you using?I'm on the latest version: "v0.40.0"Could also be some weird font type that subber used is not compatible/corrupt and MPC set to some default font render.
>>282074408>The devs literally told people to use anything elseand people still use it anyway because the alternatives are all shit. MPC-HC mogs mpv trash real hard no matter how much you try to cope about it.
>>282074408Still the best because anime doesn't need 4k or faggot HDR bullshit.
>>282075445I updated it because of this thread but even using the newest version it's still doing it.
>>282076149Hm, if you can give me the subber group you have a copy of I would like to see if it happens on my machine with mpv.
>>282075019Because it's full of pajeets and paranoid neets
>>282074408If it works, don't fix it.
>>282076265Adhiesc is what my files say. I think it was part of a batch torrent that included the original and A's too.
>>282074408Dude, is not 2010 anymore, just use VLC.
Hey, remember when the m*v dev got mad on Twitter and say that only pedos watch anime? Good times.
>>282074789>No one here gives a fuck about codecs or encoding or all that shit anymoreDid anyone ever actually care or did they just wanted to fit in?
>>282075325>>282075343>>282075371All looks the same to me.
All the encoders ran away because their promises of smaller filesizes was proven wrong with how filesizes just bloated away instead.
>>282076465>got madSounds like you just couldn't handle the bantz. Most of the mpv dev team are weebs.
>>282076401Oh, that is the same one I have: [Adhiesc] Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS - 26 (BD 1280x720).mkv, sha256 hash: c90a7f11cb6dc0177890f714e42b900f78010684f1eea4d32c9ed05bcd1a5c64 (if you know how to obtain a sha256 hash you can compare it to mine).The only main difference that could be the case is that I'm on Linux and you are likely on Windows (since you are using MPC-HC also).I tried playing the file on my laptops with W10 and MPV and it does the same font rendering errors yours does. I can see MPV says the video file is corrupt with missing info about chapters, I'm going to say its likely an older method of setting up chapters in this video encode and also displaying fonts that Windows and MPV does not play well with since it works fine on Linux at least for me.
>>282076767>I was just pretending to be le ironic xDMan literally used to search for random tweets about mpv just to reply to them
>>282074408Nephew doesn't know what a fork is, that a fork fork MPCHC exist, and that it regularly receives updates.
>>282076829You sound triggered.>ManWho? The mpv dev team isn't one person.
>>282074408>create perfection>much later: "hurr durr it hasn't been updated for years derp"
>>282076942even perfection needs to be polished every once in a while.
>>282076715First one has obviously fucked colors and jaggy lines compared to the other two.
>>282077038Ever heard of DLNA?The real problem is that this situation is so rare it's difficult to tell old unupdated software/standards are still legitimate and not just abandonware.
>>282077171I'm not at my computer so I can't post up a comp but I just use MPC-HC's default settings/renderer and it completely shits the bed with red colors in x265, as in extremely noticeably pixelated edges. No idea why
>>282074408I use vlc like a normal person and not a retarded zoomer.
>>282075019>>282075019it's a shit board because you got filtered by mpv? Cl/a/ssic
>>282077171Why are you using the default renderer in the first place? Just use MadVR.
Dunno why mpvtroons still insist on pointlessly shilling a gui-less alternative to make it even more mainstream. Don't you fucking get that your product is already dead on arrival the moment normalfags see a command line? It's completely counterintuitive.
>>282074408this is simply not true. it hasn't gotten too many new features on its own, but it is still actively maintained here: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/ which is also the releases that packages like k-lite use.
>>282077818I've used mpv for a while and haven't needed to use any command line. I just have video files set to open with mpv so just clicking them opens it. But maybe for younger people who don't even know how to use a computer that even may be difficult.
>>282077818mpv.net exists
>>282074446Yes
>>282075019because you're tech-illiterate, sonno other explanation
>>282077818mpv has GUI thoughthe window that pops up when you play the video, that's a gooey
>>282074428>>282074446>>282074873>>282076444This mp4 works perfectly in my chrome browser but when I open it in VLC I get artifacts similar to this >>282075043 gif. I really need an alternative to VLC. This is shameful. I have a Ryzen 9 5900X and RTX 3080, which should be overkill for this mp4.
>>282077863Your problem is you underestimate how lazy and stupid the average normalfag is>>282077876Not known by the average normalfag>>282078024Normalfags wouldn't care
>>282078060normalretards will certainly google "mpv for windows" and they'll get the GUI version
>>282078060Your problem is you care what normalfags think. If they're too braindead to set up file associations, that's none of my concern. It's amazing how shortlived computer usage ability lasted.
>downloadingwhy
>>282078166true, every single video quality can be played in a web browser>mkvjust a container for mp4
VLC hasn't updated in years. Why isn't it considered abandonware?
>>282078097>normalfags>googling>mpvAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA>>282078110Normalfags couldn't care less about you either. It's one of the main reasons why Linux never truly caught on despite the autistic shilling behind it. You already lost the market before you even began.

There is literally no point in updating players unless you can't use MadVR, HEVC and capture subtitles with F5 (MadVR screencap support added in the some version of new MPC-HC).
MPV is just better
I've honestly just been streaming everything for the past like 5+ years at this point, as someone who used to download everything. It really looks fine now. It's basically just autism to care, especially considering that most seasonal anime looks like trash anyways.
>>282078060>Not known by the average normalfagwell how many normalfags come to /a/ for media player recommendations in the first place
>>282078329qrd on setting up madvr? i already use mpc but it's probably a godforsaken ancient version because i never bothered to move anything on it beyond making sure it defaults to jp audio and jp subs
>>282078374I occasionally feel like rewatching certain sections of things I don't have downloads for, and want to just find a streaming site for it, but it's always been a fucking hassle. I really don't know why people think streaming is somehow more convenient. It's also not as easy to take screenshots or make webms with streaming stuff.

>>282074863just tested this vs mpv and anime is sharper with more color depth. i can finally go back home

I followed the MPC-HC guide a billion years ago and stick to that, with VLC as backup because it seems to play anything.I tried MPV for a bit when it was shilled but it wasn’t user friendly (minimalist tinkerer linux autism) so I went back to what werks.
my only gripe with mpc is that I cant set audio to JP and every good release now has dual audio, with english set to default
Just go into Options>Playback>Default track preference and put jpn for audio, like this.

MPV is the only media player even in consideration because that's what anime4k works in.
>>282074408it works flawlessly, why would I switch?
>>282075436>Wolves didn’t bother evolving
As if modern anime deserves to be played in highest quality. Straight from the source it's low quality bloom filter overexposed soft slop, only worsened by low quality crunchy chatgpt subs with not even enough care to align the subs to scene changes or typeset anything

>>282078221From what I can see, the "latest" update of VLC, 3.0.21., is from June 2024, which is not "years". Just 1 year and 3 months.
Nowadays I watch anime on my TV with my jellyfin server. If I want to open one up on my computer to take screenshots I use mpv usually.

>>282077878>>282075193>>282080593I don't know
>>282079519This should generally work but sometimes the seeds make the download speed too unstable so I can see that causing issues. Plus if you were doing this you're picking one episode, which is basically the same as the download sequentially option, which isn't the most efficient way of torrenting. I'd rather just have a fully downloaded local copy to avoid any issues, but it's cool that this does exist, since it was something I was recently wondering if it was possible to do.
>>282087151Even if all that were true, he'd still be less bad than Tazmo.
>>282086684This unfortunately doesn't help when there's a signs/songs sub set in the file you're using. Since either it will be marked as en with the normal subs as jp or both will be marked as en, in which case it's a coin flip for which one it chooses. An mpv plugin allows for filtering based on the name of the file, so you can have it ignore anything labeled signs/songs.
is there a plugin or something for mpc that keeps the audio pitch normal-ish when playing videos at faster speeds? both vlc and youtube do it better than mpc.

Is there a reason why this off-topic thread is still up?
>>282077776I'm still prejudiced against MadVR from generations of older machines. EVR(CP) has been basically fine through all those years, but MPCVR is hideous. I'm gonna try a fresh install on another machine and see if it's bad there too, or just some stuck setting on my older install.
The old VLC memes were gold. I like the one with The Major from Hellsing>I truly love each and every kind of artifact ...
>>282075325>>282090248Interestingly, in a fresh install on a newer computer, Enhanced Video Renderer (Custom Presenter) is still the default, but now it's the odd one out compared to other renderers in terms of visual results. Here's EVR(CP).
>>282095439And here's MPC Video Renderer. Looks different from EVR(CP), but identical to MadVR, mpv, and the default Win11 media player. Upscaling is no longer dogshit.
>>282087481I don't even understand the purpose of signs/songs sub setsjust translate everything bro
>>282075019The same story for every board.>smartphones became accessible to everyone>newfags could fit in way too easily>election tourist and literal r****t mods running the site
>>282095552It's to use with the dub audio track. If you're watching subbed you'll need the signs/songs plus the general dialogue. But if you're watching dubbed you don't need the dialogue subbed, just the signs and songs. It's an annoyance caused by casual dub watchers.
>>282095600casuals were a mistake
>>282095551Also, here's mpv on the older computer. Basically the same as MadVR.So the consensus colors are identical between the old and new computers. The odd ones out are:>MPCVR on the old computer (too bright, with jaggy upscaling)>EVR(CP) on the new computer (too dim)Weird result. Now I'm glad I checked though.
>>282075106That's not an mpv error; it's an actual mistake by the subber. If you look in the subtitle styles, you will see:Style: Notes,Webdings,28,&H32D7D6D9,&H0000FFFF,&H40222222,&H56000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,3,0,5,10,10,10,0Style: Notes2,Webdings,22,&H32D2D0D0,&H0000FFFF,&H40262626,&H56000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,3,0,5,10,10,10,0>>282075445 almost had it. Webdings isn't incompatible or corrupt, but rather a specialized symbol font. So getting readable text means your player didn't find Webdings and substituted a normal font.>>282076784Webdings is a Microsoft font, so it makes sense that Linux wouldn't have it.
I've watched anime on my TV using Plex and Jellyfish for years now
>>282096424Huh, I wonder why they did that then. So not only is MPC being readable due to some MPC issue, but it being readable on Linux is also essentially an error and not intended. Very very strange. Should be a quick and easy fix though if I want to do it.
I only use a CRT
>>282097896And do you burn the files to DVD or VHS in order to watch it on your CRT? Do you not think watching anime designed to be watched on modern displays on a CRT is stupid? CRTfags love to talk about how older anime were made to be watched on CRTs. Even rereleases of older series likely don't look the same on a CRT as they would have when they aired.
>>282074408It's already perfect.

Random question for mpcfags, how do I revert the timing numbers, I probably pressed something by mistake.
>>282099398click on it
>>282099398I think you click the number
>>282099419>>282099424Damn that was it? Thank you anons.
>>282087151He won
>>282099740when in doubt, click everything and press everythingif shit's irreparably fucked that's when you nuke the config file and start over
>>282099740Generally speaking you gotta click something or type something. That's how computers work.
>>282086917Because other players would shart and piss themselves trying to open the file, then crash the whole system
>>282082543Brought a smile to my face.
>>282087151It can't be.Is he a finn?
>>282074789/a/'s fault for not caring about what's left of fansubbing, which is associated with anime films. >>282081852>CR rips only exist as replacement to BROADCAST ripsGarbage in, garbage out.
>>282095551>>282075325Did you switch the hardware decoder from DXVA2 to directX 11
>>2820744082.5.2 came out like a month ago.
>>282100397Not knowingly, at any rate. Both computers have "Use Direct3D 11" checked in MPCVR's settings, if that's what you mean.
What does OP mean it's abandoned? It asks me to update all the time.
>>282074446Yep.
must've downloaded a fork or something back when /a/ told me to setup mpc-hc + madvr + xysubfilter, because i get the occasional update available notification (i dismiss them).if some new virus breaks media player containment because i torrented an animay i'll just nuke the pc and restore from external backup.
>google *anime name* online free hdit has worked for the last 20 yearswhy would I download an anime just to deleted it afterwards?
bump
>>282083317NTADifferent numbers on those images and a 3 year's difference so that could mean anything.
>>282074789This. I don’t really care about madVR and what not anymore after getting my 65” OLED TV, I just put everything in Plex and stream from my home theater setup. Seriously building a proper HT setup has been one of my better decisions in improving my QOL.
>>282101880I have a collection, mostly shows I also own on Blu-Ray (it's just more connvenient to use a PC than it is to break out the disc player). It is higher quality and pretty convenient to be able to just pull up the video player instead of going to a website. For seasonal shows though, I agree, no real reason to torrent it, I'm probably going to drop it anyway.
>>282101156This anime look so good.
>>282074408Retarded newfag lurk more
>>282096466>>282105252Can you guys tell me more about this Plex thing?
>>282087555>ignoring digits such as thesea pox on your houses
Works on my machine
People still watch anime on tiny computer screens with sub 1000 contrast ratio, motion blur and poor color accuracy?
>i found an awesome website to watch one piece
>>282074408works on my machine
you’re retarded if you use mpv because the proprietors literally hate anime and deny commits from the anime scene
>>282107617It’s free software. Who cares what the dumb developers think?
>>282074408>>282074428>>282074446there is 0 excuse to not be using mpv in 2025
>>282108170How about no UI
>>282108204https://github.com/tomasklaen/uosc
>>282106643That better be an OLED.
>>282074408I thought everyone switch to mpv
>>282079519I bet your torrent client has very shitty media playback.
>>282108117fix your screenshot template
>>282108204What do you mean?
Isn't MPV is the only player fansubs are designed for anymore? Just like opening modern websites in Firefox/Opera Presto/Netsurf/etc renders things strangely when everything is designed for Chromium/Blink/Webkit, I would presume the same is true for video players.>MPV/mplayer/other historic names is just the system GNU/Video library on Linux/Mac/Android/etc, used everywhere from your boot screen to the menus on your smart fridge, where all development has coalesced around>the Aegisub devs all use it (on Arch BTW) rather than test in Windows 7 to play anime with Kawai Codec Pack in a VM or something, don't check the software outputs fully compatible files for MPC, Realplayer, Quicktime or anywhere else>the preview Aegisub shows while the typesetter colormatches sign blanks and whatnot is windowless MPV>the encoding previews the Vaprsynth/etc guys use is all MPV>every person working on a release at any level is on MPV testing for MPV>user instead opens it in an unmaintained WIndows XP CCCP, the subs are slightly lower than the fansubbers expected, or are timed slightly differently to introduce random bleed, maybe an encode sector join causes an unexpected crash at worst>user complains in the nyaa comments>"just use MPV lol. we don't even know how to make a CCCP targeted version wwwww"
>>282108444Cool, may I see a settings menu now?
>>282108490No need, it's conveniently in a text file.
>>282108477The thing is anything MPV does, MPC can do better, because it's basically just MPV+.
>>282108503Show me MPC running on Windows, macOS and Linux.
>MPVNot a chance, fag
>>282108510>macOSirrelevant meme>troonixhttps://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt/releases
I use MPC Blacked Edition
>>282108600based and blackedpilled
MPC is just a frontend for an old version of Windows Media Player running in DirectShow borderless playback mode, kept around for things like backwards compatibility with AVI FMV video in old CD games even into the Windows 11 days, forced into a window with some menus like a normal video player. That weeb programmers of old managed to intercept the video to hook in stuff like .ass subtitles and new codecs to this ancient video player Microsoft hasn't touched since the 90s is commendable, but the project is long dead. There will always be one guy maintaining it, like that copy of Firefox that still works on XP, but your job is not creating the most technically impressive player anymore like it was at the time MadVR was king, but struggling to port over features from the rest and have it not blow up. MPC is dead. Long live MPC.
>>282108927MPC just werks and it's not made by epsteinfags projecting their faggotry on anime fans, so that's good enough for me.
>>282106225You install Plex, point it to a folder containing media. It then creates a server. On your smart TV (or regular tv with a smart device like a chromecast) you install the Plex client app. It will show you your media files in a youtube-like interface and you can use your TV remote to choose and play them. It works pretty well and doesn't really need cabled-internet speeds. Over wireless is fine.
>>282109019He'll also need some kind of program to rename things in a batch. Sometimes the file names you get don't play nice with plex. I use Rename My TV Series. Plex will recognize most file names if they have season and episode numbers but sometimes you need to fix them.
>>282109161I don't rename any of my anime downloads and 99% they're fine in Plex.
it just werks
>>282109196Sometimes I get stuff that needs to be renamed
>>282109335The only thing in recent memory that I've had to rename are New Panty & Stocking episodes, because ToonsHub includes the "episode title" in the filename, but the "episode titles" are just sequential numbers for the sub-plots and Plex reads them as episode ranges.So instead of New.PANTY.and.STOCKING.with.GARTERBELT.S01E09.19.20.21.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DUAL.DDP5.1.H.264.MSubs-ToonsHub.mkv, I need to rename it to New.PANTY.and.STOCKING.with.GARTERBELT.S01E09.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DUAL.DDP5.1.H.264.MSubs-ToonsHub.mkv.Apart from that, most everything's fine, with some ASS directory naming magic to fix episode numbering or something.
>>282074408Yeah? Everyone isn't a tard updooter that get viruses 24/7. Updating things just to update is something only tards do.
