FFmpeg enters the chat
Whenever someone ask me media player for Linux I suggest MPV but for Binbows I suggest VLC. I don’t know why?
I do the same because VLC has an installer on Windows while MPV you have to manually extract from a compressed folder and then run the install script from command line
Me opening /dev/urandom as a raw video stream to watch some nice relaxing RGB static.
There are people who like VLC, but for me personally, MPV has a much cleaner interface, better configuration options, and when it comes to streaming video, MPV absolutely destroys VLC (especially when changing playback speed while the video is playing – VLC has the audio cut out for several seconds and MPV doesn’t, and that’s to say nothing of the MPEG glitches)
And the dude who maintains VLC do not even make money from it, at all!
Mpv is better
