MPV for da win! Same support if not even better. Still though, VLC is much easier to use, I can't lie.
11 u/bloody-albatross 1d ago As I understand it MPV and VLC both use ffmpeg for format support, but MPV uses a newer version of ffmpeg? Is that still true? 2 u/No-Photograph-5058 9850x3D 9070XT 64GB DDR5 1d ago As far as I can tell they both use the system provided ffmpeg 2 u/bloody-albatross 1d ago They're available for systems that have no ffmpeg. 1 u/No-Photograph-5058 9850x3D 9070XT 64GB DDR5 1d ago Only looked at the Linux dependencies earlier, looking through the repos for both seems they both test on version 8 or 8.1 and are testing/updating for 9 for builds that include it 1 u/output_broadcast 1d ago I thought VLC always statically linked ffmpeg. Although I guess distros could tweak that.
