mpv.io !
I discovered it before covid, and it is really lightweight and customizable. So many plug-ins, and they're so simple to create.
I was usually having issues with VLC or settings that he didn't have. No issues with mpv, so far.
Weird issue with VLC / Manjaro lately as it just wouldnt play any file. Opens and just closes. Just tried out mpv.io. Worked like a charm. Thanks!
If you are new to mpv, I recommend this guide https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv/ because the settings are not user-friendly as it has no GUI.
I argue a well-made config is more user friendly.
love mpv! such a minimal video player, and it's really easy to pipe video sources into it via cli with something like streamlink.
only complaint i have about it is i couldn't get chromecast working with it, but it was pretty easy with vlc.
