You guys still using MPC-HC to watch you're animu? Is MadVR even worth it anymore? I haven't changed from MPHC for years. I think it was a K-lite version.
Nah nigga we coneCHADS in this bitch. We beat the MPCfags to death a few years ago.
>>285794255I'm still using mpv. It's getting shittier. No idea why hardware decoding suddenly stopped working.
>>285794255I use MPC-BE because my fucking traffic cone decided to use two windows (and as such, two extra steps) to play and control videos. Also it wouldn't resize easily for some reason. I don't know if it was some kind of theme extension, user error, or an update but I don't care to figure it out, MPC BE just fucking werks man
it werks
Anons still running Windows in YOTLD+1 and the outdated sketchy software they run are so weird
>>285795373You don't get it... it's not outdated, it's trustworthy.
>>285795373What is the player of choice on linux?
>>285794281>VLC
>>285794371>I use MPC-BEThis
>>285795674probably mpv if you're a nerd but vlc works even better on the penguin

>>285795908VGH
>>285794255I use realplayerI convert all my videos to realmovie format to save CPU power and hard disk space.then i emulate a clean install of windows95 OSR2 in virtualbox for peak performance, install realplayer in that, and feed the video files in from a server on another emulated win95 instance on a different core with an emulated 16550 UART interlink so I can get the authentic buffering effect.
>>285795674Almost everything in my collection runs better in VLC than MPV
Gentlemen, I like VLC. Gentlemen, I like VLC. Gentlemen, I love VLC! I like AVI, I like RMVB, I like 120fps, I like interlacing, I like rainbowing, I like the dot crawl, I like blocking. I like the ringing, and I like tinny audio. On a computer, a DVD player, a PS3, on a Mac, on an Archos. I truly love each and every kind of artifact man can encode to a file. I like the broken ASS support when even the simplest of lines fails to render correctly.When the translator's notes overlaps the main dialogue, it makes my heart dance! I like when an encode displays like it is corrupted!It always left a warm feeling in my chest when they would check the CRC, only to find it is correct. I like it when #darkhold encoders post on AnimeSuki and RAGE about the topic at hand.I recall how much it moved me, seeing how epic longposts were made, how they wouldshun the subject again and again, even though it wouldn't die. And it's painfully excitingwhen a leecher posts about how great it is in the same thread. And how wonderful it is to have 120fps for a show that is a constant 23.976! And that pitiful resistance, encoding to h264, despite it being harder on the CPU.I even remember when XviD had a 10:1 leecher ratio! I like it when the MKV fanboys are thrown into chaos. And when the VFR feature theyare supposed to be promoting is violated repeatedly... oh how very sad it is. I like it when the detail and sharpness in HD encodes are crushed and obliterated!And them being filtered, smearing and ghosting and looking worse than a standard DVD. Gentlemen, what I want is a low bitrate hell. Gentlemen, my compatriots, leechers, you who abuse my XDCC bots... gentlemen, what o you desire? Do you also want eyecancer? Is a return to the age of VCDs what you want? Do you yearn for a VHS encode that stretches the very limits of poor quality, the artifactsso intense that it makes Stevie Wonder cringe? Very well then, we shall have VLC.
>>285796207thank you for reminding me why internet people are so cringe and I end up watching everything on dアニメストア
>>285794255>>285794281MPC has better hotkeys by default and they're customizableVLC doesn't let you change hotkeys, even simple things like load subtitle takes MOUSE CLICKS, absolutely haram
>>285797481were you just trying to make me look as a troll or does the windows build actually not have a hotkey settings menu? lmao based
>>285796207>#darkholdI don't think there's a single person on /a/ these days that even knows the name, why bother posting this
>>285794255It just werks after all
>>285797712It does let you customize hotkeys but all the defaults suckI'll just go back to MPC unless I need to work with external .mks subtitles, in which case I'll use mkv tools and make my own mkv file and keep using MPC
>>285797813I happen to have a sick gaming mouse and don't have to struggle with the crusty nipple of a 20 year old chinkpad so I can't relate to this issue
VLC when it works, MPC-HC when it doesn't.>Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki 4 - 02v2 (BDRip 1920x1080p x265 HEVC FLAC 2.0)Doesn't work with VLC on my machine.
What would you recommend for macos?
>>285798444Getting a new OS.
>>285794255MPC gang
>>285794289HEVC? Did a firmware update recently?https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/11/hp-and-dell-disable-hevc-support-built-into-their-laptops-cpus/
>>285794255I keep mpc around to make thumbnail grids but admittedly, I haven't done that in a while. Stock mpv plays all my shows
>>285794255Is there any other custom MPC homescreens like OP's picture?
>>285797481VLC lets me increase play rate without changing audio pitch.
>>285795908Soul
>CCCP still existsI bet it installs spyware now.
>>285803246MPV does that too
>>285796141Damn, remembering 30mb episodes takes me back
>>285794255VLC doesn't have neither:>button for loading the next episode in folder>ability to remember the playlist after closing the programwhich makes it clunkybest thing is, this is by design, the nerd responsible told everyone to get fuckedand don't even get me started on the chore that is using VLC android version
>>285794255I literally just watch it in animepahe lol
>>285794255I had that Cowboy Bebop movie that couldn't run on VLC, so I tried MPC-HC. There were also some LoGH episodes that run fine on latter but not on former so I permanently switched.
>>285802153No. Old it affects even ass h264. They simply broke the most basic use case.
>>285794255MPC-HC + codecs is what we call "feature complete" in the industry.
>>285803759>and don't even get me started on the chore that is using VLC android versionVLC is the only thing that still works on my shitty Android TV. All the MPV ports freezes when they try to load .ass subtitles.
>>285794255>>285794281I used to want to get into the codec-using players myself in the past. But when I tried that, the codec broke several of my /v/idya until I got rid of it. I have only been using VLC since.
>>285803343It couldn't years ago when I tried. It always changed the pitch and you could only change it by 0.5 (no slider).I am no longer on windows, so I am not gonna go back
mpv 0.41.0
>>285794255I use VLC. I installed and deleted music/vid apps as I looked for some feature. Never found it, gave up, VLC was the last install.It's sort of shitty. But I don't use it much so.
>>285794255>>285794281>>285795373>Not using Hayase torrent streaming in the big 26ngmi
>>285803246You can do that in MPC-HC if you change Audio Renderer from System Default to Internal Audio Renderer. However I prefer the raw speed change for listening to music in different pitches without quality degradation. Pitch correction algorithms create imperfections, though it would still be preferable for speech.
https://github.com/the-database/mpv-upscale-2x_animejanaifixes the '720p upscaled' look that anime has in the digital era, looks great on 4k OLED
>>285794281
Personally I use Firefox
I use MPC-BE as I am used to the interface. MPV is too different and VLC had minor problems most of the times I tried it.
mpv. plugins take it from competent alternative to essential software.
>>285794255MPV and it works fine, but I've hung onto my hardware setup for too long I think. It can't play 4k video and I'm running it playback problems more often if I torrent too high quality of video.
I play everything from the jellyfin server I built.
>>285794255MPC + RTX Video super resolution + RTX Video HDRStop being poor
>>285794255yep
mpv, just werks
>>285808201>(no slider)well duh, you have to write in the config how much you want it to change by
>>285814643I play everything from my computer that I invented
clsid's MPC HC is literally everything I need.It is one of my major issues with switching to linux right now since I dislike MPV or whateve other shitty players are there (especially VLC).I am sure I could get it working with wine but I don't know how well that would work.
>>285816863Does one not build a computer?I purchased all the required parts and used them to build the computer inside an old H440 I had lying around.Did you know you can fit 11 3.5 inch drives inside one of those?
>>285814643Really? I have a jellyfin server as well but I only really use it on my phone when I'm not at home since the player is a bit shit compared to my desktop one.
>>285819114I like that it keeps track of where I am in each show.
I barely even watch anime since I'm almost exclusively a manga/LNfag. If something I like gets an adaptation and I wanna check it out, I just use pirate streaming sites.
> Use a gorillion custom settings to watch video files> Windows media player did a perfect job by 2022You guys are so weird
>>285819329The elitism on this board is definitely of a uniquely strange variety.
>>285794255I use Memento which is based on MPV for the sole reason it lets me use a pop up dictionary for Jap subs and I can enable a secondary sub. The UI is a nightmare and there's no way to customize shortcuts.You can't even copy shit from the subtitle because Ctrl+C is, for whatever retarded reason, MPV's shutdown shortcut, so it forces me to type the kanji on some other dictionary/Anki, which is a nice practice.
Been using mpv since it was mplayer2
>>285796206Good luck scaling standard definition anime to arbitrary resolutions in vlc.
>>285817140https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qtIt's also on AUR if you plan on switching to an Arch flavored distro. I think you should give mpv another try though, they have changed a lot of stuff.
I watch my shows on DVD.
