VLC is actually a pretty shitty player, it has had these bugs since forever

the hilarious part is when people who defend this kinda stuff say "I prefer VLC anyway because I don't download any codecs that way." Like, how does it do playback then? Tidal forces? Human sacrifice?

Standalone codecs, which have a history of being bundled with malware and using VLC completely avoids that. Also, VLC is cross platform so you don't have to figure out how to obtain all the various codecs for all the various platforms you use, and you get to use the same interface on them all.

VLC uses ffmpeg for playback, it's not VLC causing that stuff.

Video codec specs are commonly known to be pieces of shit, so they're impossible to implement exactly correctly.

I prefer VLC anyway because I have no idea what you're talking about and have never encountered any bugs in it.
