Yeah, it's a quality review
Mandalore is overall pretty consistent
You always know what to expect

Yes.

I have some problem with mandalore, I watch him but not religiously like I do accursedfarms (Ross) for example, but exactly sure why as they're quite similar, I think mandalore has a problem where he can be too dry or something? I think his best video so far was empire earth, I've rewatched it like 4-5 times and still think it's one of his best, second best I would say were the recent thief games he's done (though I wish he covered the neu thief game).

Am I the only one who switched from VLC to Daum PotPlayer and never looked back?

I switched to mpv from PotPlayer years ago out of convenience, before I used zoom player or mpc-hc codec bundles.

Vlc has an atavic bug that was never addressed: it fucks up the position of the subtitles when a manual cropping that reduces the aspect ratio is active.

oh my, literally worse than hitler.

I use video player which Ubuntu installed for videos, Rymebox for music and Irfan-View for photos, all work fine but to be honest there is very little new shit worth watching or listening to nowadays.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Well, it's not literally Hitler. But for my personal usage, where I need to crop to different aspect ratios a lot of movies, with subtitles that go partly outside the visible screen, this is basicly the only reason I cannot use VLC.

Considering also that the bug is very simple (it just wrongly evaluate the position of the subtitle on the geometry of the non-cropped screen instead of the cropped one) and that it's 10+ year that has been identified but never solved, this is annoying.

But I agree, there are more annoying things than this. For example the fact that a lot of youtubers don't have the slightest idea how the aspect ratio works and fuck up continuosly when showing videos of retro gaming or old movies that use different ar than 16:9.

I've been using MPC-HC+madVR for ages, but I recently came across some some BD rips where the CPU usage is getting ridiculous (>35% on 3570), I thought DXVA was supposed to offload most of this on the GPU.

the reason you cannot use vlc for something vlc hasn't been made for it's because you're trying to use vlc for something vlc hasn't been made for.

And VLC can do much more than simply cropping a video (many players can do cropping, it's a relatively basic function of a video player.)

Here for the media player party.

Surfing net while streaming 3 videos concurrently (1. Ed123's bite-sized retro review video, 2. muted Baten Kaitos gameplay video & 3. Divine Divinity OST at low volume as background music) with mpv using Intel 2016 iGPU.

Normally, have at most 2 streaming videos playing on screen with the background music window minimized.

Edit:
Multtasking with more than 1 streaming (or playing locally-stored) videos is not a resource hog with mpv.

Gotta keep those dopamine receptors pumping at full capacity.

I usually watch horror movies when playing rpgs.

You could pick up a modern RPG and be horrified by how shit it is. Two birds with one stone!

You can simplify this, just play an inXile or Larian or Obsidian game.
