>VLC is the best audio player for Android
Has media playback development on Android stagnated so much that VLC has singlehandedly become the best video player and the best audio player for Android?
Where's Foobar2000 for Android?
Where's mpv for Android?
VLC has zero competition on Android. It's blown away everybody else because it's got no ads, plays everything, is completely free, actually works well, and gets updated all the time.
VLC rules the Android media playback market.
How did we let this happen?

>butthurt anti-freedom faggot
Why did VLC end up on such a shitty non-free OS anyway?
>>VLC is the best audio player for Android
HA!
>>53363385
it is
>>53363328
It's simply the best. Both for PC and phone. Though for audio I prefer AIMP.
>Where's Foobar2000 for android?
It's Poweramp.
Lots of skins and compatibility, but closed source.
>>53363471
vlc on computers is horrible though. especially on high resolution IPS monitors.
>>53363471
>I prefer AIMP.
lol please no that's shit
>>53363328

>>53363546
mpv
>>53363506
I think it's fine on my PA279Q
>>53363542
Best audio player, fully featured and low on resources too.

VLC has pretty much given up on desktop PC development. They are focusing on mobile now.
>>53363737
>given up on desktop PC development
lolno, NIghtlies are always released.
>>53363471
>for PC
It violates the UNIX philosophy you always love to defend.
VLC was originally a client for streaming video over a LAN, not a video player.
>unstable hardware acceleration
>HW decoded frames are always copied back to main memory instead of keeping them in the GPU for presentation(inefficient)
>sometimes it doesn't perform the 16-235 to 0-255 conversion, resulting in washed-out colors.

Mx player has better compatibility and is more resource friendly.

Total commander media player is also very good

> Plays directly from smb share
> can play almost anything (not necessarily named .mp3, just .file (other media players refuse to load the file even if it's a music file))
> low CPU usage on HD mp4 videos
> equalizer

>>53363328
>>VLC is the best video player for Android
try MX player
>>VLC is the best audio player for Android
Try Poweramp or even the preinstalled crap
>>53367667
>MX player
ads, shitware, botnet, no ac3
>poweramp
kek paying for audio playback nice try
>>53364069
>>sometimes it doesn't perform the 16-235 to 0-255 conversion
More like always, especially since the default video output is still the windows overlay
>>53363328
People still use VLC?
>>53363328
the only problem i have with VLC on my PC is that I can't preview the file in the thumbnail, it could be some syrian combat footage, or hardcore futa-nography
>>53367967
>using VLC on PC
>>53363471
>I prefer AIMP.
lololololololol
>MPC
Both audio and video (winamp if you want).
>MXPlayer
Android, it has more features than VLC.
>>53364121
GTFO, normie
I use whatever player is on CM 13. I think it's called 'eleven'.
>>53363328
is this bait? It's nowhere near as good as mx player and poweramp/jetaudio/pretty much any other music player
MX Player is great IF you want to pay for it and download the custom codecs to allow DTS / AC3 decoding. I like it a lot overall as it was much better than the default player for ICS / JB but now with my newer Note 4 on L it's moot because the default player runs ok. I just lose out on custom codecs for proprietary licensed codec playback.
all of this means shit because like others have said that mxplayer isn't gratis if you want no ads out of the box.
not related, but this happened to me this weekend

MPC-HC is the best video player for PC.
>VLC has zero competition on Android. It's blown away everybody else because it's got no ads, plays everything, is completely free, actually works well, and gets updated all the time.
When you put it that way, it doesn't exactly sound like it needs competition.
>mx player
>closed sores
>Watching video on a phone
Who cares what you use the experience will be subpar.
>>53363328
VLC is also the best music/video player for windows phone
>>53363471
VLC has some quirks on PC untill you mess with the settings
