Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I’ve really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.
minus-square@puppy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•2 years agompv has superior playback quality to VLC in my opinion.
minus-square@9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•2 years agoAren’t they both based on ffmpeg? Surely any quality difference is just a configuration issue?
minus-square@puppy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•2 years agoYes. If I remember correctly VLC was originally configured (maybe still is) to network streams and prioritize no lag. That’s why you get weird artifacts in VLC sometimes that’s not present in mpv.

minus-square@WillyWonksters@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoI used to feel the same way, but the interface is actually super customizable if you are ok with editing config files!
