>I know there's one some people here use with a similar name, but it has basically no UI so I don't like it.You're talking about mpv. I use two players based on it. One comes default with my Linux installation and is called Celluloid (
https://celluloid-player.github.io/ ), it's a GTK frontend for mpv. Another I have on my animebook for Japanese subs and instant lookups for unknown words is called Memento (
https://ripose-jp.github.io/Memento/ ).
I'm also a former mpc-hc fan. It just worked. All I really need in a video player is covered by the two I mentioned earlier. A basic UI and plays the files I give it.

>>2553Hmm, that kind of seems like it's lacking a UI, too. What do you like about it?
>>2554Seems like neither of those are that appealing to me since I'm staying on windows and don't care to learn a language. That's pretty cool, though. Wonder if I would have tried learning Japanese if all this stuff was around when I was young.

It's really simple, and a lot easier to set up from scratch than going through the whole mpc+madvr and whatever else rigamarole again that would take me a day to set up each time.

This is an annoyingly hidden setting, but if you right click on the bottom bar itself, you can customize control bar and floating control.
Unfortunately, it seems that floating control is only available for fullscreen mode.
I haven't used this, but you can find config settings files if you go to Help > Open configuration folder.
I'm on Linux, sorry if my instructions differ on Windows.

I use mpv for everything except iso which i use vlc for. I like mpv because its just plug and play and its a very simple media player. I had problems before with mpc-hc i think it was called. I think there was something wrong with the program causing my audio to be delayed. Very strange.
Here is my mpv config. It starts the media files at the volume 100 and at the end of the media file it loops it because otherwise mpv would just stop it which i dont like. And then the sub filter which someone else on kissu recommended to me. It removes the SDH stuff from subtitles.
volume=100
loop=inf
-sub-filter-sdh=yes

>>2691>otherwise mpv would just stop it which i dont like.You can use
keep-open=yes instead.
If you prefer your subtitles to be in English with Japanese honorifics, also consider adding
slang=enm,eng because some groups use the label "enm" (Middle English) to indicate an alternative subtitle track with honorifics.

You could use a MPV frontend like Celluloid or Baka MPlayer.

>>2690¥Does this software have x feature that I want?"You don't actually want that feature, it isn't even real, fuck you"
Why is this so common?
For the record, the answer is that stock MPV aims for minimalism.
No.2891
>>2552I use Plex, the player runs on a preconfigured mpv. I use it since it has a lot of convenient stuff built into it, like sorting your downloaded series into libraries, keeping track of how far you watched something, a subtitle fetcher, and since it uses libmpv for playback, I get to configure it and further customize it with scripts, just as with the standalone version.
Although some scripts might not work out of the gate, since Plex technically streams the videos to you from a local media server you set up. I had to modify a script like WebM maker, since it didn't initially have access to the streamed files.
No.2892
>>2891Are you considering switching to Jellyfin after the recent Plex TOS changes, or is there not enough cause for concern yet?
No.2893
>>2892I switched to Jellyfin at some point but went back, it was cumbersome to use, it kept failing to catalogue the media correctly, and it had bugs, like changing my monitor's refresh rate and gamma when switching episodes in fullscreen. I don't use remote streaming, so the new changes don't affect me.

I never understood why people say vanilla mpv has no GUI. Do most people often use more than seeking and volume adjustment? Do they not know you can scroll on the volume icon to adjust it or something?

Switched from MPC-HC to mpv almost a decade ago and haven't looked back. What can I say? It just works.
