MPV vs VLC Media Player opinions
Shuunenfinally seeking in a video is smooth <3
2JohnFastmanThere was a time when VLC was justifiably considered the best open-source cross-platform movie player. MPV has closed the gap substantially and is likely to work out-of-the-box in a minority of cases where VLC gets stuck. Excellent software. Open souce (trustworthy) and free, of course.
11salvadormoraleslenIt does not have similar interface.
0FireryyoBecause mpv is lightweight,customizable,doesn't suck and FOSS
-1awvalentiVery minimal, indeed, and very fast. Has many keyboard shortcuts and displays album art for songs. I decided not to use it because I need global hotkeys (play/pause, next, previous) to work, and they didn't (at least on Windows).
