What software do you guys use for an optimal viewing experience when watching shows/movies on your computers?
windows media player
VLC
;) don't bully me silly boys
mpc-hc because its easy to drag n drob sub files
>>67142655
Really? Doesn't that turn into a bitch and a half with codecs?
>>67142643
>MPC-BE
>Let's take an ugly media player and make it EVEN UGLIER!
>>67142665
i don't care about all that.
>>67142673
>ugly media player
It's the most minimalist player on the god damn planet, and BE adds youtube-playback and a slightly better render configuration for minimal tearing.
>>67142663
i just
i
mpc-hc with all the custom codecs and stuff
>>67142662
I won't bully. I used VLC in my time, and though it's a cluttered mess now, it served well in its time.
>>67142663
I agree, it's good for that. Did you ever find any good subtitle database to hook it up to?
I also really like the auto-load feature, where if your file is the same name as your subtitle it'll auto-load it.
>>67142691
But, there are certain formats you can't watch in WMP without codecs. How do you get around that?
>>67142673
>ugly
Fucking how? It's a fra with the video in it. You don't even have to HAVE a UI.
MPC HC with Madvr
pretty based
>>67142643
Mpv
>>67142875
>Mpv
I remember this. Did they kill the transparent UI yet?
Christ that was ugly.
>>67142957
No, I don't mind it at all though, especially since I switched from VLC.
>VLC so cluttered I can barely focus on the movie
>MPV so minimalist I can barely see it through its transparency
>>67143037
You should try MPC. But MPV is a good alternative I guess.
I can't believe I used to vouch for VLC. To be young and foolish again.
VLC isn't that bad once you configure it
>>67143115
It's a cpu-leeching mess that does everything you don't need.
>>67142662
This.
>>67143037
>VLC so cluttered I can barely focus on the movie
Just full screen it man lmao.
>>67143142
you on a pentium 4?
>>67143169
it is stupid how there isn't a totally minimal view with no window border. you can do it on linux and windows but you have to use a command
>>67143169
>I don't multitask other applications while watching things
>nonstop alt-tabbing
Pls no
>>67143204
If you are on a laptop, you'll start to notice pretty quickly how terrible VLC is with resources, even when it performs like shit with 4k.
>>67143169
>full screen
Is for intense, focused movie sessions only.
>>67143298
why you watching stuff in 4k? you have a 4k resolution laptop?
>>67143083
mpv>MPC
>>67143332
Now now, calm your autism. MPV is good, but the sleek lightness of MPC cannot be topped.
>>67143291
>>67143310
>the ADD generation
>>67143352
>I can't do two things at once
You'll get far in society.
>>67143324
I have a 4k desktop and my laptop is 1880p I think so if possible I watch 4k on both.
>>67143401
>can't
Nice defense mechanism.
>>67143447
Nice meme.
>>67143348
>MPC is not even on linux
Enjoy watching movies/shows on your shit OS.
>>67143492
>using MemeOS
>>67143492
>linux
this isnt /g/ fuck off
MPC is perfect. Even though VLC isn't as terrible as it once was, there really is nothing wrong with MPC. It looks perfect, not cluttered, not over-designed. It's simplistic and no ui element gets in the way of whatever it is your playing.
>>67143618
it's not as good at streaming as VLC
>>67143476
>doesn't know what a meme is
>>67143651
Explain?
I've viewed several streams with MPC and never encountered issues
>>67143618
>ForYou
>>67142643
VLC, quality is fine, easy to use and automatically detects subs unlike another player I used a few years ago. Not planning on changing anytime soon.
movies and shows - kcp
livestreams - vlc
>>67143618
>Vista
good lord
>>67145595
windows 7.
>>67142805
anything but this is objectively wrong
>>67146799
care to explain ?
>>67143492
>linux
enjoy your bloatOS
>>67147699
The fuck are you talking about, the linux distro you choose can be as bloated or as barebones as you want.
