So whats the suggested Yea Forums approved media player these days?
using HDMI 2.0 from nvidia 1060 card
preferably somethin that supports/detects and activates all the HDR, hw acceleration, all 5.1 sound formats etc by default so I dont have to fiddle with it
currently using last official MPC-HC but starts to feel dated
Mpv.net
vlc is the *only* tv approved kino-viewing software
>Hardware decoding might help if the CPU is too slow to decode video in realtime, but must be explicitly enabled with the --hwdec option.
im not a hacker
What's dated about it, the interface that has all the options clearly marked, understandable, and visible, with noting more contextual than a right click? "It's dated!" is why I now have to hack Waterfox to look like old Firefox before every browser became Chromium. It works. It does the job simply, cleanly, lightly, efficiently, effectively and after a double click on the screen it doesn't matter anymore.
VLC
I redownload VLC every couple of years to use the volume boosting it has. Every time the screen tears while I hop around to the scene that's muffled.
intalled latest version, colors dont have full range, tried all google solutions none work, already have everyting in place incl. nvidia full range etc. Cant find any setting for it in VLC
dropped
MPC is the patrician choice
VLC is for people who watch YIFY rips and rate A10/V10
True. I only found out last week that you can slow down subtitles, bloody useful that.
VLC users should wear that stupid garish cone on their heads.
MPC Black Edition has GPU acceleration by default. Don't know about the rest.
Inna
>for MacOS
fuck no
I mean, can you trust the other settings, if it cant get even the very basics right out of the box? NO!
How hard is to detect whether the device connected over HDMI is capable of 0-255 ? They literally transmit their exact model via the protocol when connected
Is it possible to downmix to stereo with VLC?
mpv. Wintoddlers need not apply.
make your pc a server, use plex from your smart tv, you will have access through ethernet or wifi and all sound formats will work well
What's a good region free software to read blu rays on my PC? All the ones I pirated have some bullshit about switching regions a limited amount of times and garbage like that
mpv is literally all that matters.
wintoddler here, I only use mpv.
You're not really making your case
>open MPC-HC
>press d
>download subtitle
vlc can't do that, fuck vlc
>completely portable
>don't need to install codecs or anything
>great minimal interface
>just works
>can set different configs for filetype (e.g webm loops)
>can just copy+paste a config into notepad to get someone else's exact setup
it's just the best.
KMP and vlc.
It can:
view -> vlsub
smplayer (mpv with an actual ui, comes with a MPC skin)
Potplayer with GPU acceleration settings and filtering/scaling plugins (madVR etc)
Mpc has slowdowns, and my hardware is top notch. Use mpv baka player
mpc-hc with madvr and updated lav filters
or mpv if you have shit hardware
A: 10
V: 10
thanks YIFY
>Mpc has slowdowns, and my hardware is top notch
