So what's a good movie player for linux?
I've been using vlc on windows for years with zero problems. On my linux box I usually get no audio after jumping to time using the scrollbar. What does /g/ use?
mpv
>>52641853
The seek bar is fucking tiny, is there a way to make it span the entire width of the window?
>>52641967
Yes.--script-opts=osc-valign=.68,osc-scalefullscreen=.5,osc-halign=1,osc-scalewindowed=.5
is what I use to resize my seekbar.
The manual has more for it, but these are probably all you need.
>>52643184
This goes in your mpv.conf btw.
>>52643184
I've got this in my lua-settings/osc.conf# OSC settings
osd-bar
layout=bottombar
seekbarstyle=bar
minmousemove=1
timetotal=yes
Anyone know why mpv won't use the bottom bar layout instead of the box layout?
It works just find on my windows machine of all things but its stuck in the box configuration on by xubuntu laptop.
>>52643329
What folder is it in?
Mine is ~/.config/mpv
>>52643353
I've got it in /etc/mpv/lua-settings/
mpv.conf is in /etc/mpv

try ~/.config/mpv/lua-settings/osc.conf then
>>52643380
That's a very strange place for an mpv.conf...
Try putting it in your home folder, see if mpv made either a ~/.mpv, or ~/.config/mpv
>>52643403
I'm new to linux, I can do stuff in shell, i just don't know where jack shit is half the time.
isn't /etc/ where most programs store configuration files, or is it global configs while something like /.config/ is for user specific ones.
>>52643458
Type in man hier.
/etc/ is outside home, so that's a good sign it's not where you want to go.
>it global configs while something like /.config/ is for user specific ones.
Is correct.
>>52643507
>>52643403
>>52643400
Thanks for the tip.
Alright, I put all the configuration files and scripts in the /.config/, nice since I don't have to sudo it everytime.
But its still not loading the bottom bar UI.
is the ppa for ubuntu variant compiled with everything enabled?
>>52643577
It should be.
Is it loading any other part of the config?
It should be in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
>>52643621
Its loading the lua scripts like stats autoload, etc. Its just not turning into a bar.
>>52643577
what if you just put--script-opts=osc-layout=bottombarin your config or terminal
>>52643657
well fuck I feel like a retard for wasting you guys' time.
I had copied my windows config over where apparentlylayout=bottombar
worked properly, even though the option isosc-layout=bottombar
well thanks anyways
>>52643728
No problem.
Just remember, you generally won't need to edit files outside of ~/ unless you are setting up a machine wide service, like ssh.
>>52641461
Use bomi
Production has froze on it because the dev ran into personal financial problems but he left it pretty good.
>>52643577
> ping pong
Fucking god tier right there
>>52644103
It's so sad what happened to Bomi. What I loved about Bomi was how it had so many config options that you can choose from while you're playing a video.
Hope someone can fork it one day.
>>52644298
> fork it
Oh yes please this. This is why foss is so good
>>52641461
mpv 201%, best on Windows, best on Linux.
smplayer, or mplayer
>>52641461
bomi, or smplayer if that doesn't work
MPC-BE or MPC-HC through Wine.
Media Player Classic through wine
>>52646848
>>52646489
I'd love to know if this works, and if so, if it works with all the addons that make MPC-HC a decent video player like madVR and ReClock, and if madVR gets decent performance and VSync.
>>52646489
>>52646848
I doubt that works. I have not managed to get that working in wine, I always have to boot up a vm to deduce its functionality. (was writing a clone last year.)
>>52647371

cmdrkotori?
>>52643184
>>52643204
>0.5
>an even smaller seekbar
Ebin.
But you're right, the manual is pretty helpful.
>>52644103
Thanks, looks good too.
Anyone know any good places for precompiled windows binaries of mpv? The main page is fucking slow (only about once a month) and rorgoroth's builds are down.
Why sometimes my VLC doesn't producing sounds after pauses? I use Xubuntu
>>52648646
Don't use vlc
