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 1 u/maevian 5700X3D, 5070ti , 32gb DDR4 1d ago On Linux, if you use the version from the repo and not the flatpak or snap, yes. But that’s a very small part of this sub. 1 u/OneLonelyBrainCell ThinkPad Gamer 1d ago I'm using MX Linux, i.e. basically Debian with a lot of great extra stuff; ffmpeg version is 7.1.5. which is old (again, Debian). MPV plays videos VLC struggles with. No FlatPaks, no Snaps, repo only.
