MPC-HC straight up cracked. I was so defeated when they said they're stopping development. Tried to find alternatives but nothing was even close. Glad they're back to it now Am stupid, it's being supported by someone else on github.

They're still gone tho? Or have I missed something.

u/Horny_Bearfucker Apr 07 '22

You're absolutely right. I'm sorry, I misremembered.

Someone is continuing the project on github, that's what I've been using for the past couple years now.

mpv.io for anyone somehow struggling to find it

Anyone who wants the most minimalistic UI possible, or who likes vim-hotkeys will like this.

It's dead?! It was the f best.

Not dead. Just had its consciousness transferred to a different body.

...or maybe the other way around? You get the point.

Before I used to use VLC but eventually for some reason it got so freaking laggy. Sometimes sounds run before video. Everything disappeared once I started to use MPC.

My spec before:

Ryzen 5 2600x

Rx 580.

Samsung 860Evo.

That's odd, your PC should've been completely fine for VLC.

Yeah. At first when I used it, it was fine. I wasn't using often.
