What video/media player are you using on your computer?
| Windows media player
| Tbh I'm using vlc because I haven't found a good media player for linux
| Tangerine sucks and the default that come with mint is even worst

MPV a is pretty good Linux player, aside from no GUI. If it bothers you, you can always use one of the frontends.
| Windows media player, and groove music for music
| Some might say bloat but VLC is really good. There's literally nothing it can't open including CDs and such. It also acts as a front-end to ffmpeg and has automatic subtitle downloads. So comfy.

I'm not sure how VLC works like on Linux because I always used mpv, but on Windows it always had shit colors for me.
| vlc or gtfo
| Smplayer and vlc does the work. I like being able to play compressed files such as rar withouth needing to unpack first.
| mpv
| Vlc because I don't have the time to figure out any of the words that op said.

MPC-HC = Media Player Classic Home Cinema, auto explanatory.
MadVR = a video renderer, it allows you to use your CPU or GPU to do fancy shit like upscaling videos and removing visual artifacts.
LAV = is pretty much an open source codec that runs all sorts of video/audio files and does some fancy stuff for subtitles and whatnot.
MPV = is a player, it has no graphical interface, so if you want one you have to use a graphical interface on top of the player i.e. a frontend.

Well damn, I thought I'll just be called a dumb pleb but here you actually explained things to me, thanks
| >>401397 honestly yeah vlc is really good. I use it on everything because there's almost nothing it can't read.
| Same as half the people here it seems like, mpv on linux and vlc on Windows
| Abandon VLC, people. MPC is much better, trust me. And it's not dead yet, one of the devs still maintains it.
| MPC
| VLC for everything
| MPC for vids, Winamp for music.
| I use vlc and don't care enough to set up other
| mpv is way better than mpc
| VLC and groove music
| Vlc, Plex desktop app
