When this goes stable, and SMplayer moves completely to mpv with regular updates, there will be literally no reason at all to use MPC-HC.

It's not better yet because mpv hasn't been stabilized on it yet.

However, when it is stable, you will get all the features of mpc-hc as well as

-dual subtitle support
-full streaming support like you'd find on VLC. Hell, even better than VLC's streaming support.
-Play videos from video sites, like Youtube, DailyMotion, Vimeo by dropping the link into the player.
-madVR picture quality on windows without installing madVR, because the mpv renderer is fucking godlike.

You can use vapoursynth for debanding and fancy upscaling algorithms and MadVR's smooth motion is being ported and already works.
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/tree/smooth-motion

Now the only thing left is an xySubFilter equivalent, although libass works great and only crashed once on some very complex subs for me.
>>
>>45602219
>MPC-HC

Terrible piece of legacy crud shit bloated player based around Directshow. All the terrible Windows programmers built their shitty software around this player, and the way they've worked around it's inherent bad design choices have become unbelievably disgusting.

>madVR

Proprietary, buggy, and extremely inefficient are the first things that come to mind. The ONLY thing better about this than OpenGL or VDPAU with mpv is that it has the nnedi3 upscaling filter, which can be achieved in mpv through vapoursynth if you really care. Other than that, mpv has superior rendering in terms of proper design, stability, color accuracy, picture quality, everything.

>LAV filters

These are a fork of ffmpeg libraries to work with a proprietary deprecated API from Microsoft called Directshow. It is obviously not better than native real ffmpeg.

>libass is better than xy-*filter.
I'm not sure about that, in the sense that fansubbers don't bother to check if their subs are compatible with libass.
Take FFF's releases of Jinsei for example, libass has a lot of troubles with it while xy-filters just work.

I still prefer libass for muh proper keming and stuff.
>>
>>45602336
> FFF's releases of Jinsei for example,

I've heard someone mention this before, and I have absolutely no problem with these subs on mpv. There is not a single fansub release out there you could give me that doesn't work properly with libass through mpv, other than examples when it is directly the fault of the fansubber for creating bad incorrect subs, which might only work with xy*filter due to bad hacks in the codebase that allow for incorrect behavior. If you could find me a single fansub release that doesn't, I would be incredibly surprised.

Libass is not necessarily always the problem either, sometimes it's the players implemenation of libass. Libass through VLC is different than libass through mpv.
>>
>>45602317
>Proprietary, buggy, and extremely inefficient are the first things that come to mind.
I also dislike the fact that it's not open source but it's not buggy. Sounds like you're basing that opinion on old versions.

I also fail to see how it's inefficient; it was designed to get maximum image quality using GPU pixel shaders and its performance has increased a few times over the last year.

>These are a fork of ffmpeg libraries to work with a proprietary deprecated API from Microsoft called Directshow. It is obviously not better than native real ffmpeg.
Actually the main benefits of LAV Filters to me are the GPU-based rendering and the simplicity. I have my GPU decode and deinterlace video before giving it to ffdshow for scaling. Not ideal but the only way to get good quality SD video in MediaPortal.

>inb4 switch to XBMC

Doesn't work as well for live TV.
>>
>>45602367
>GPU-based rendering

LAV filters don't do any rendering. Do you mean decoding, like through DXVA?

Windows GPU accelerated decoding is in a pretty shitty state actually, compared to VDPAU or VAAPI.

I like that the OSC exists. I think it should exist, and that it should be enabled by default.

From a usability standpoint I don't like it though. Having it pop-up over the video everytime I move my mouse is annoying, I don't like looking at it, and most importantly I find using my keyboard/mouse to just be faster and easier.

This happens because VLC, like most free software, was originally designed on Unix/Linux systems, and when or if it gets ported to Windows, often has problems.

In this specific case, VLC, and many other programs too, rely off the functionality of fontconfig, which works great on Linux, but most of the time if these programs get ported over to Windows, they just keep using the Windows version of fontconfig, which is shit and has that problem.

You don't bring that up with the mpv people, that's something goes in ffmpeg (libavfilter). Once it's in there, I'm sure mpv devs would gladly add support in right away.

I would love to see it in libavfilter though.

The guy who keeps on reposting this is a retard. It's literally just a broken file and an OS X bug. Other files don't have that problem. mpv on other platforms doesn't have that problem. mpv with hwdec=no (the default setting) doesn't have that problem.

Stuttering isn't caused by 3:2 pulldown, it's caused by the lack thereof. Pulldown is used to get 24 fps native content to be 30, and thus evenly divisible by a 60hz refresh rate.

MPC-HC has dual subtitle support. Not that I can ever imagine this being useful, perhaps in cases where sub files were poorly made or different types need to be mixed. Or if you happen to be watching with someone who doesn't speak the same language as you...

MPC-HC's streaming support is pretty garbage, though I've never tried mpv's.

mpv doesn't have a renderer, it uses various external libraries like opengl. The quality is only slightly worse than MadVR in terms of colorspace conversion quality / dithering, and it's less configurable in almost every single way. It's much lighter than MadVR for similar results, but not quite as good. MadVR has always been a case of diminishing returns, if you're someone who isn't into that, or bitches about electricity usage, just don't use it. Problem solved.

What? No. OpenGL isn't a video renderer. It's a graphics API. Every hardware accelerated video renderer is implemented on top of an external graphics API. That's like saying madVR isn't a renderer because it uses various external libraries like Direct3D.

You're probably using the compiled in OSC. set osc=no in your config, grab osc.lua from mpv's github and put it in your lua dir (create it if you don't have one) and then you can edit that file to change your osc in any way you want.

There are other methods that let you fuck with the compiled in OSC, but I don't like those.

Depends on the source. Some raws have English subtitles (or even audio) already, others I'll download the best fansub and either load it as an external sub file if I want to preserve the source files as they are, or mux it all as an MKV.

Lain for example I ended up using Coalgirl's subs with some tweaks for timing and the fact that the endings / openings are part of the stream.

Really, youtube-dl supports so many sites and even the generic extractor works surprisingly well, you can blindly try opening any site with videos in it in mpv and chances of success are rather high.

No it literally cannot.

>Many BDs still have some banding

Better to have banding then to have it sandblasted away with filters.

Detail and objective quality will always be better than fansub encodes from BD's. There is no matter what a noticeable drop in detail and quality when you re-encode the video from Blurays, unless you use lossless encoding, which is retarded because the files come out bigger than the source.

It should be common practice to always release DVD iso's and BDMV's.

One of these is a bloated player filled to the brink with cruft, based around a deprecated proprietary API, and one is a simple, portable, well designed, efficient player without cruft.

Then I want you to think about all the terrible designed shitty addons for MPC-HC that people commonly use.
