you dont get it. the difference is that one is bloat and the other lightweight and seeks way faster

Depends on how you've configured them and what your source file is. I don't think I've ever heard someone praise VLCs upscaling

>>107592520
vlc is pretty lightweight though

>I don't think I've ever heard someone praise VLCs upscaling
I dont think ive heard someone praise mpvs upscaling

>>107592470
Mpv won. cope.

I didn't notice a difference and I prefer the controls of VLC.

>>107592520
Just watch the video, you don't need to be constantly seeking.

>>107592549
you're right, went and looked at file sizes and i was making shit up. i guess the settings and slow seek times make it feel 'bloated' is more what i meant

>>107592597
>you don't need
you have no idea of my use case you pretentious nimwit. step down a notch; you are not as smart as you think you are. i know mommy (who you live with) tells you you're special though

>>107592597
based

>>107592470
i use vlc because it was popular when i was a kid. i pretty much only use it to watch porn. vnr

>>107592599
the players are pretty similar
i use vlc for watching random video files, and mpv for sitting down and actually watching torrents of anime/tv shows

>>107592632
why vlc for random? why not just use mpv

>>107592626
>based
It's only based if you're a retard.

>>107592646
if you click on an audio it runs in the background and you have to close it with task manager
also it has garbage controls

>>107592659
theres no difference in video playback

>>107592470

>is it actually possible to see the difference?
Yes. I know it's a wrapper but still

>>107592470
One has terrible interface the other have problems with seeking.

>>107592470
>is it actually possible to see the difference?
Yes. Even if we only look at upscaling, VLC uses bicubic by default iirc and mpv uses lanczos and the difference is obvious. VLC is meant to be simple and fast, mpv is meant to be high-quality and highly configurable. Both have a lot of features.

>>107592850
I did checks

mplayer
mpv
smplayer
vlc

VLC uses the most doorknock

>>107593051
the UI is still bad
and using mpv without the command line feels wrong, but with the command line it takes too long to launch

mpv is the coomer's player of choice. got a huge collection you wanna zip through? bind next & previous to your mouse wheel and there you go. Seriously tho, the only thing vlc has going for it are the better on screen controls, mpv is better in every other way. And even the controls aren't an issue if you take 2 minutes to edit your input.conf
