I myself prefer libav anyways.
Back on topic... I could've sworn ffmpeg has supported a pulseaudio output module for ages...

Another thing MPV has that VLC doesn't (and almost refuses to add): Wayland support. MPV has a wayland back-end. I saw a thread where a VLC dev told a user that Wayland support wasn't coming in the next 2/3 years because they would literally have to re-write their entire back-end because it's so shit.
Note, this is coming from somebody who used VLC happily for over 2 years before finally getting into "which player is better and why".
And for those who complain about MPV not having a font-end, it includes it's own small one called the OSC (On Screen Controls). It's nothing fancy, but it allows mouse usage for the common stuff: Switching audio/subtitle tracks, seeking, fast-forward/rewind, chapter skipping

Considering that A) the Qt5 port of VLC is progressing and B) VLC has output modules for OpenGL and SDL (at least OpenGL works on Wayland with Mesa drivers), I don't believe you.

Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostI only have MPlayer2 installed and I could never see a major difference. If you mean that colors are rendered differently, then maybe that't true but considering that I am capable of tweaking color settings, I don't care.

2: Not the thread I saw, but close: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7936
^Basically says that they would have to re-write the entire UI because even though they would be using Qt5, it would not support Wayland. Also, they would have to re-write their EGL output.

Originally posted by GreatEmerald View PostIt certainly supported PulseAudio input. As for output, it's hard to tell, typically you don't need to specify any options to ffplay to get the sound working...
Originally posted by Nille View PostWhy do you prefer libav? i see only that it waste many human resourcess. instead of making one better we have two on the same weel.
Originally posted by johnc View PostYeah mpv is interesting... but the last time I checked it didn't work with any front-ends, kinda making it pointless. I think it would have been better to get a replacement communication framework in place first, then after front-ends had moved over to the new way, deprecate the old way. But that's just my weird way of thinking. I guess I'll go investigate what the latest is with the project.Last edited by MWisBest; 29 October 2013, 05:59 PM.
