VLC doesn’t care. I dropped a 3d model on it by accident and it started 3d printing it. I don’t even have a 3d printer

Blender can turn a video into a 3D model does that count?
VLC’s gonna be up there with
ffmpegandyt-dlpMPV is also high-quality software, tends to handle streams much better than VLC for me. It’s amazing the amount of FOSS software that has been painstakingly maintained for years, that we mostly take for granted.
mpv use ffmpeg as backend
so does vlc (afaik both use libffmpeg)
I actually know that the creators of vlc and ffmpeg do hang out on occasion.
One of the achievements of humanity, along with Wikipedia, etc.
A monument how individuals can resist enshitification without prioritising financial gain over other humans.That is true but I don’t think they’ve ever solved the issue it has with taking longer and longer to load each time. Love VLC though ❤️
Can confirm, I find myself looking for a solution every few weeks.
I have too many scripts for mpv making my life easier to ever consider switching back to VLC. Also, shaders and customizations!
I always thought this was more of a Windows thing as VLC relies on libffmpeg of which it does ship a copy there. On Linux, it links against the system version, which all other programs have access to as well, hence if VLC can play it, chances are the others can do so too. I basically never use it because I dislike the interface, MPV I find much more pleasant
Can I tell you guys about the woes of downloading vlc or mpv from the Fedora repos and not being able to play back HEVC due to licencing?
Grab it from FlatHub or RPMFusion instead, if you want that…
but still, pausing by a leftclick requires a plugin and a change in settings - this is crazy, but I just know I have to do it on a new machine
I’ve been using VLC for well over a decade now, but for some reason, VLC likes to shift the pitch down a little and up again every now and then and I don’t know why. Makes listening to music a little annoying.
I’ve never experienced that. Is it always the same file(s) at the same time(s)?
Nah, it’s random. Fixed in newest version though. Might be the nightly? Not sure.
Last I checked (and ditched VLC because of this) it doesn’t properly support HDR. Any change on that side of things?
Apparently since 3.0.0 it has supported HDR and 10 bit colour!
Nice, I don’t enjoy using codec packs so I’ll reinstall lol
I’ve been using VLC since forever but I switched to PotPlayer recently since I’ve been having issues with VLC, namely artifacts and lag after play/pausing.
Pot player’s a gem. I have no idea how it’s free
Sometimes. I’ve learned through the course of suffering this life that vlc causes more problems than it solves multiple times. Mpv for the true hero. All of them use the same underlying libraries anyway.
I miss gnome-mplayer
Man, I love VLC but I just have so much trouble with it on Endeavour (Arch). I don’t use it often enough to troubleshoot it and instead just use either Haruna or MPV.
