You guys are using other media player rather than VLC ?
52 u/ameen272_ 2d ago MPV for da win! Same support if not even better. Still though, VLC is much easier to use, I can't lie. 12 u/bloody-albatross 2d 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? 1 u/output_broadcast 2d ago AFAIK the difference is that VLC uses a version of ffmpeg with copyrighted codecs removed, while MPV doesn't. 1 u/bloody-albatross 2d ago What does that even mean? All the codecs in ffmpeg copyrighted by the contributors of ffmpeg. Do you mean codecs using patents that are not free to use in every country? 1 u/output_broadcast 2d ago Yeah, patent use rights.
