When I go from a quiet video to a loud video, and I roll the mousewheel to lower the volume, that volume change needs to happen immediately, not after a 1-2 second delay. The delay is a second or 2, which is a second or 2 longer than it used to be, and a second or 2 longer than it needs to be. I don't know what changed, but it has made VLC 2.0 too annoying to use. I actually downgraded from VLC 2.0 to 1.1.10 because of VLC's terrible responsiveness.

I'm already trusting the media player install package to not be evil, and I'd rather only have to trust 1 install package instead of it and several codec install packages.Ģ. Actually, it tells me I'll have to go find these random codec packs again, opening myself to possible CSRF attacks and other malware from poorly-secured or malicious codec providers. Reading this github doesn't tell me why I should use mpv instead of vlc 1.1.5. All the codecs are included with the program. mkv files much better than the 2-year old player or the newest player.Īnd unlike mplayer, mplayer2, wmp, and most other players out there, you don't have to goto some random website and download some random codec pack, and install it with who knows what malware. That's right, the 3-year old player plays the newest. mkv files which didn't play correctly, so I downgraded from 1.1.10 to 1.1.5, and they play just fine. VLC has terrible license problems and awful feature creep.

Or when I do, it's because they're using a newer version of VLC which has removed support or changed processing. Other people tell me 'It doesn't play some of my videos' but I haven't seen this actually occur. I've actually stuck with VLC 1.1.5 for 2 reasons:ġ. I have been a VLC user on Windows for years.
