Why do you use MPV if there is MPC-HC
>>
I don't even know. MPV requires a goddamn dedicated GPU for higher presets because muh quality, and only gaymen retards have dedicated consumer GPUs.
>>
>>55555346
MPV if you're obsessed with getting every single frame to perfection and/or you're obsessed with customization

MPC-HC if you're too lazy to bother with the above
>>
>>55555346
mpv looks cleaner and has a modern icon compared to mpc-hc's glossy trash.
>>
Where quality is better? VLC/MPV/MPC?
>>
>>55555346
I switched from MPC-HC to MPV and it just works better.

>works great immediately after downloading it
>tons of options and customization to make it better
>no confusing GUI
>no need to download other programs like MadVR
>fast as fuck

It's just better in every way.
>>
>>55555440
MadVR with mpv?
>>
>>55555458
MPV can already do most of what MadVR can by default.

If I put this in the mpv.config file

vo=opengl-hq

how do I know if it's working once I open a video?

I use MPlayer, mpv, MPC-HC and VLC.
Mainly MPlayer (tv, movies) and mpv (anime).
>>

>>
>>55555721
put
script-opts=osc-layout=bottombar

in your mpv.config file and see if the osc changes.

If it does then it's working.

Why would I bother with MPV
>>
>>55555776
Why for anime MPV rather than MPC?
>>
>>55555788
Thanks, it's working
>>
>>55555346
Because it works well and it also works well with youtube-dl.
After a lot of complaining I now only use mpv

MPV is for autists only.

>>55557594

I fell for the MPV meme along with the SVP meme on my notebook.

Literally, MPC-HC with KCP using madVR is pretty comfy.

madvr supports frame interpolation with intel quicksync and is much much better than MPV (haven't noticed artficats or desync yet)

Because there is also mpv.

mpv because it's multiplat and I can interchange configs to both my Linux and Windows computers

Also I don't give a fuck about anime, but when I do mpv handles them better
>>
>>55555797
Because that's what you do with MPV
>>
>>55555377

>waaaah muh icons are ugly

mpc has the most comfy ui, mpv works great but looks ugly.
>>
>>55555346
I use a proper OS and don't have time to fuck about with Kawaii Kommunist Kodeks or whatever you winfags have to do
>>
>>55559156
mpv is also better in every other way
>>
Because MPV just fucking works. I don't need to install like 50 different codec packs and plugins to watch my animumu, and the picture quality is comparable to say the least. Also, lightweight as fuck.
>>
>>55555440
>no confusing GUI
bullshit
>>
>>55559350
It's not like you have to do that on Windows. You just download MPC-HC and play whatever you want. There is no need for codec packs, beause MPC-HC already comes with LAV filters.
>>
>>55555346
because there is MPV
>>
I really like mpv, but MPC-HC has a more efficient decoder and uses less resources.

Oh well. Maybe in the future.
>>
>>55559761
>has a more efficient decoder
lol
>>
>>55560117
It has. My CPU and GPU usages are lower in MPC-HC.
>>
>>55560130
>decoder
>video processing
do you even know the difference

>GPU usages is lower
you retards can't even compare them correctly
>>
>>55560242
Enlighten me on how mpv is more efficient on system resources.
>>
I always see people say mpv is better and I only ever see them say that it's because hurr needs mad vr or muh gooey but I don't care about any of that shit

Which one plays videos better and why?
>>
>>55560269
If you use madvr, mpv is more efficient.

Also, I just compared CPU usage (60 fps, h.264)
mpc-hc - 3.8 %
mpv - 3.1 %

The development of KCP is completely dead.

This is the only alternative if you prefer direct show filters.

>>55560354
I don't use madvr.
Also, you are probably using DXVA2, so your video is being decoded by NVENC/QuickSync/VCE
>>
I know windows is dying because of their atrocious choices.
However I don't know why mpv devs are still using ANGLE and don't provide a good d3d rendering engine.
>>
>>55555555
>>
>>55560381
>I don't use madvr.
Of course GPU usage will be lower, MPC-HC almost doesn't use it by default.

>Also, you are probably using DXVA2
Ok, without DXVA (HEVC video):
mpc-hc - 10.6%
mpv - 9.7%
>>
I don't understand how MPV is difficult to use. All I did was download it, added the .exe to my path so I can play things through the command prompt and that's it. On Linux I just install it from the repository and I'm done.
>>
>>55560432
I get pretty much the opposite results:
7.62-8.54% on mpv,
4.56-6.41% on mpc-hc

Are you using the x64 build of mpc-hc? The x86 version is slightly more efficient.
>>
>>55560475
>Are you using the x64 build of mpc-hc?
yes

And mpv build is from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/64bit/
it has some performance patches (same as LAVFilters)
>>
>>55560364
There are new updates every week for kcp
>>
>>55560521
Seems to perform the same as the build I got from https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/
>>
>>55560464
>I just install it from the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git
$ cd mpv-build
$ ./rebuild -j4
$ sudo ./install


Bang, you have the most recent version.
>>
I like mpv overall, but I miss having a nice history popup to remind me what episode of whatever I last watched.

Otherwise it's pretty comfy.

Read the news
>>
>>55555346
My reasons:

1. MPC-HC doesn't run on Linux, so it's not like I have a choice to begin with
2. MPC-HC doesn't offer nearly as many features as mpv. It also requires madVR and ReClock to function on a comparable level, which are both proprietary
3. mpv doesn't rely on deprecated, decades-old clunky APIs to function (go look through DirectShow docs, I dare you)
4. mpv's codebase is a billion times cleaner and easier to update, which makes extending it easy. It's also very scriptable, so I can fine-tune the behavior as much as I want

Do you need anym ore reasons?

Pretty much, I also wish they would add a recently played hotkey to play the last file you played.

One of the features I really want them to add.
