Edit: guys I didn’t made this template, can you please calm down?
I like vlc because I’m sexually aroused by traffic cones.
How do you get them out? Asking for a friend
Traffic cones have a flared base for this purpose.
There was a gif of a dude having a traffic cone shoved in his ass with the caption “installing VLC”
Who need GUI to watch youtube? You can watch them directly in terminal with mpv. Try it:
mpv --vo=tct "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"If you’re in a kernel VT (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F[1-7] without starting a graphical environment) MPV can also work in framebuffer mode (the default if you don’t specify a video output). It’ll show the video fullscreen at full resolution, bypassing the terminal characters.
Who said terminal graphics had to look bad?
I’m sure it has some uses in digital signage and whatnot, but holy cow it sounds like a dev just saying “hold my beer” one evening…
84% of FOSS software is the result of either a dare, laziness, or spite.
This is stupid and I love it
What does tct do?
It uses the terminal as a display output instead of a separate window
Heaviest things on earth:
4: Elephant
3: Ur mom
2: node_modules
1: wav
node_modules
Added to the list.
technically, airplanes aren’t on earth whilst being fast,
Technically they are still faster than cheetah on land when taking off
Technically, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter aren’t planets, just clouds really far away
Which one has cloud city again?
Bespin… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You got me!
Actually, the gas giants do have a solid core
Has it already been confirmed or it’s still a hypothesis?
Please share any material proving it if you have any, I love space.
“All known gas giants, like Jupiter and Saturn, have solid cores. These cores are either rocky or metallic, and aren’t completely solid throughout, with some of the core being comprised of molten metal and rock.”
Technically, it is if you count atmosphere as part of earth
I’ve not had any disappointing results from VLC. Is there a reason why MPV would be recommended over VLC or MPC-BE?
I have both VLC and MPV and VLC used to take 0.5 second to seek forward while MPV being completely seamless. But I just tested again today and VLC has become seamless too with very minor differences. idk what changed
Edit: to answer your question I can’t say much other than preferences. I like MPV because it’s minimal, but VLC is good too
The problem I have with vlc is it’s too minimal. I use the playback settings a lot and there are looping and playlist to enqueue videos. It’s just easier to use and you don’t have to memorize a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for a damn video player.
mpv has a video controller on screen and if that isn’t enough, you can use smplayer which is GUI frontend for mplayer & mpv
A big reason I use MPV is because of anime. I forget exactly what the reason was back in the day, but I can remember MPV being better at playing certain formats, and fan subs of anime are early adopters of new codecs. In addition, there is a very healthy ecosystem of plugins related to language learning, which again ties back to anime.
Indeed, I love mpv as it can connect to Anki with a plugin and export subtitles with a screenshot and audio directly to it
Loading mpv.conf file will make it slow.
I prefer VLC but to each their own. I’m glad we have a choice.
VLC is much more versatile, but when it comes to speed/efficiency, MPV run laps around VLC.
Winamp. Still whips the llamas ass
On linux?
For the nostalgic, there is Qmmp that looks and behave like XMMS/Winamp and is still maintained.
MPV > VLC
Change my mind
No. You’re allowed to have a different opinion than me.
