What media player do you use to watch movies?
Vlc like every other normal person
Kodi
I have both and have no preference
VLC
Windows Media Center
>People saying VLC
>All these newfag scum from reddit
>>67234328
MPC-HC but there's literally no difference, and if there is someone please tell me.
mpc, I like the easily customizable shortcuts.
mpc because I get half the glitches and double the shortcuts.
VLC is the patricians choice
>>67234383
MPCHC you can customise your subtitles. I like to make them yellow, I find it easier to read, especially when watching animu.
>>67234328
If you use VLC you most likely are a poorfag on a laptop. It is so very limited in ita settings.
mpc madvr lav master race
5.1 audio setup w/ 65" LG Oled.
>>67234328
bsplayer, because I don't fucking care. Beside, it download subtitles automatically
Windows Media Player
Real player is tops.
I use popcorn time so that. Besides wmc classic and vlm player sometimes
irfanview
anything else is bait
haha black background on subs, pleb
>>67234614
v:10 a:10
thanks yify!
>>67234345
This plex or xmbc are the only patrician choices
Have fun moving files back and forth like a pleb
>>67234328
mpc. simple and effective
>>67234328
mpc hc + madvr +reclock
anything else and you are a fucking pleb.
bomi
>>67234474
mpc does too
mpv
i like to waste time fucking around in console instead of living my life
>>67234689
Plex and Kodinare both terrible used them for a week recently.
Whyd you subject yourself to such torture is beyond me
plus the internal player was windows media player tier joke
>>67234772
mpc-hc doesn't do AB repeat
that's a deal-breaker for me
Fucking plebs. Browse /tech/ more.
Oh and the only correct answer is mpv.
>>67234328
Can't we all just get along and remember that there are normies out there who actually use Quicktime to watch everything.
>>67234474
this
>>67234789
Plex literally changed my life
I built a custom made NAS running couch potato, filebot, and plex
I watch movies at work
I never have to look for downloads (couch potato does that for you)
Filebot automatically downloads the relevant subtitles
Vlc is a video LAN client that doesn't even do what it's intended or named
Sorry you can't figure out computers
>>67234865
I have a friend that was still using divx to watch movies
>use kodi aka new xbmc after not using xbmc for a long time.
>proper audio normalizing options gone.
>subtitle options gone.
>updated the skinning engine recently while stealing stuff from custom ones so the 12 guys actually working on custom skins get fucked.
lel
>>67234992
Plex is definitely the better xbmc fork
Splash player is pretty good
>>67234746
What does reclock do?
mpv
>>67235333
The purpose of ReClock is to definitely get rid of jerky playback of AVI and MPEG material on a PC (or a HTPC driving a TV, a flat panel, or a video-projector). It's a DirectShow filter which is loaded in place of the default directsound audio renderer.
It provides a new reference clock that is locked to the video card hardware clock, in order to ensure that frames are played at the exact speed of what is expected by the video card vertical sync.
>>67234850
how's it better than mpc?
>>67234328
Why is it that I can't choose MPC HC as my default media player? I have installed it, but Windows doesn't even list MPC as an option for the default media player. I always have to start MPC and then select the file I want to watch.
>>67234925
lol sorry you think couch potato is good quality
and I use MPC w/ madvr and lavsplitters
seems like you nig was too fucking stupid to get into privae trackers and setup rss download
>>67234328
MPC-HC because it has a based icon, unlike that dumb orange cone.
>>67235407
it's not. doesn't even have a graphical interface.
>>67234328
mpv
or mpv derived media players like baka-mplayer
>>67235375
Well that is a very thorough answer. Thanks. I had thought it had something to do with playing PAL format files at 24fps. Does it to that, too?
>>67235428
>muh animu
Laughing girls.jpg
>>67235445
no the media player does that
I haven't updated vlc in 4years, what am i missing?
>>67235424
in mpc, view/options/formats?
>>67235505
Nothing
I prefer MPC. VLC feels clunky.
>>67234340
>>67234356
>>67234417
VLC isn't even built for regular video playback you idiots, it even says it in it's name.
>>67234689
>plex or xmbc
i fell for that bait once. those are piece of shit, with horrible UI.
I prefer Universal Media Server or KooRaRoo to do DLNA. Why don't you?
>>67234328
vlc, I mean the video quality is simply unbeatable
>>67234383
MPC-HC alone is basically like VLC. There are a few differences but really the proper advantage of MPC-HC is that you can use things like madVR that reduces banding issues and produces far better upscaling results.
>>67235044
>>67234689
>Plex
so how does shit work?
as i saw:
>you REGISTER with YOUR PERSONAL DATA email etc on their server
>you share your illegally downloaded videos thorough their servers
>to watch it on your mobile, etc, DOWNLOADING AGAIN through INTERNET
so you're like triple your dataflow, and by your own decision report your illegal activity to a company.
WTF are you insane?
Based MPC-HC of course
>>67235812
Is this bait? You watch it in streaming from the pc where the plex server is.,,
MPC-HC
>not owning a Roku and using a flash drive to watch on your flat screen TV
>>67235909
yes, and if they are asked by the cops or any like that because there is possible illegal activity they probably should give out your IPs and registered data and whatever , like every company
MPC-BE of course, try it if you use MPC-HC.
>not just using google chrome
Smh family
>>67234383
I'm told that it has better upscaling, like if you're watching a 480p movie on your 1080p monitor, and I've seen screenshots online trying to prove that. What I CAN say is that when I watch videos side by side in both players at the same time, I couldn't pick an actual quality difference if I was getting paid to find one...
I still use MPC though, as I've grown quite fond of the controls, and it seems to handle my chinese cartoon subtitles better. Sometimes the subs don't even show up on VLC.
Netflix, via chrome
>>67234328
mpv or smp.
>>67236160
They have no idea whether you downloaded a file illegally or just ripped a bought bluray. It just scans your library for xml data
>>67234328
once you learn how to play videos in the .cmd you don't really use anything else
>>67234328
MPC-HC + LAV Filters + ffdshow (for AviSynth) + MadVR + Reclock + XySubFilter, pleb.
>>67234328
MPCHC+MadVr
VLC for anime because it runs more shit and actually detects subtitles, unlike Gom player, which is what I use for everything else just because it's got a nice interface and starts up quickly.
Here if you want the best : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=259188
>>67236682
Here's the deal
Most of these media streaming platforms are fully customizable - you can run a plexbmc back end and connect using kodi's skinable front end interface - if you want to tinker
You can also run straight kodi and do some tinkering there
Plex just runs - it downloads all the metadata, its pretty damn secure, and most importantly, FREE access to your files remotely - the only time you pay is for access over LTE (5 bucks) or if you want to download your files locally , which requires a plex pass (expensive one time deal)
I have more content than Netflix
