VLC does a lot of shit, so it's usable for a lot of people.
However, something so simple as MPV works so much better for my usecase that I haven't used VLC since 2017.

>Chrome
>Windows 11

>>109857615
How does VLC still do the meme where frames get blended together in 2026? I remember it doing that in 2008 or 2009 and people were already shitting on VLC for that, even though it was basically the only media player.
You'd think they have fixed that bug by now, but n*pe, it still exists in 2026. How?

>>109857699
Hate me but i unironically use windows 11 and chrome, but i cannot stand vlc. It is a stagnant, zombie project. I prefer mpc-hc

>>109857615
vlc is the best player on android at least, all the alternatives are all just different smells of shit

>>109857841
>MPC-HC hasn't been updated in 9 years
>VLC was last updated today
I kind of just stopped using MPC-HC because it didn't support yt-dl.

>>109857932
There's a fork that is still being updated

The only problem I have with vlc is that it takes 7 seconds to start. That's on a 10750h with 32gb ddr4 running at 2900mhz. Not a supercomputer or anything but 7 seconds on this machine for a media player? Holy shit that's bad.
It's gotten slower too because I have an old xp machine that has basically a pentium 4 equivalent with an old version of vlc and it probably takes about the same amount of time. That means that older version would probably start in less than a second on the 10750h machine and the new version would probably take 30 or more seconds to start on the old xp machine. So it's getting bloated for sure.,

>>109858307
probably your shit drive

>>109858383
I'm running an nvme. It's not just this computer, I simply haven't timed other computers. I timed it on the computer I am sitting on, all I knew was that it was slow and it came out to 7 seconds.
Vlc is just slow as shit to start. It's not my hardware.

It starts instantly for me. Try to put VLC folder on windows defender whitelist

>>109858478
If that's what's causing it I'll live with it. I'm not going to have some jeet malware get easily injected into my computer one day from running vlc.
Way too many scamming jeets in tech, we're not safe. I'm sure vlc hired some.

It's a bug from windows defender. I think a clean installation fixes it.

So is most less popular software, too.

Hey I'm not going to complain about free software. I just don't use it, that's all. They didn't have to make a whole big thing and then offer it for free.

>>109858692
To be clear I do use some free software. I just don't use VLC because it's dogshit.

>>109857699
Wtf can you elaborate? I think this was ruining my day a few months ago. I never figured it out and the blending problem went away after restarting vlc.

>>109860289
Back in the day VLC was the player that "plays everything out of the box" because otherwise you would have to download a bunch of codecs that weren't preinstalled on Windows. And it was already well known for doing that stupid shit where it trips out. It blows my mind it is still a thing in 2026

>>109860238
Fucking this. This is being shilled by freetards everywhere but every time I tried it I was overwhelmed by a feeling of shiggy diggy. It surely must be a joke, right?

>>109860308
What stupid shit: Blending frames?

>>109860318
Yes, where parts of the video get mixed up together. It looked exactly like that in 2008-2009 and VLC was being memed on *hard* for doing that, and I just literally got that a few days ago on 2026 VLC.

>>109860289

what's wrong with Anki? is there a better, free way for studying flashcards? Quizlet was alright but the ads can get intrusive

>>109861014
Like Calibre, it gets the job done and is the popular choice but its interface is slow and unintuitive. I don't have a better option but after seeing 'use Anki for X' all over the internet I was kinda surprised how balky the UI felt. Maybe it's just me. I wanted to make a deck that required me to input text to answer a question--because these are virtual flashcards not actual paper--and thought it odd that this isn't base functionality.
>just visualize it bro
I dunno, I like testing myself. The urge to score correctly is my primary drive to learn.

>>109860945
It isnt a defender bug. Defender is doing its job exactly as it should, trying to prevent malware from loading.
VLC uses an absolutely retarded plugin model that makes it look like malware is being loaded.

>>109857699
>even though it was basically the only media player
you wot m8

>>109861044
>VLC is doing something non-malicious but the malware detector is mistaking it for being malicious
it's a defender bug if it's being hung up on something safe

FFMPEG

Blender
Git

Retards will literally use ANYTHING if it's free with zero regard for quality.

Doesn't VLC still have a vulnerability where code can be executed through certain mp4s or pngs?

>>109858307
>>109860945
Try going to

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC

with an admin command prompt and run

./vlc-cache-gen.exe "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins"

That's what fixed it for me. And yes, it is because of Defender, past versions and other antivirus don't cause this.

>>109861915
No? That kind of shit gets fixed as soon as possible.
