Were we all deceived? Was there a better one created in secrecy in a faraway land?
I’ve a penchant for sexy UI design, so I ditched VLC for Screenbox on Windows.
But I still keep VLC for playing the really old video files, MPG and such. From the handicam days.
which one (still) works on all platforms?
mpv is better than either imo. Was a long time vlc user who switched this past year. It’s highly customizable with a bevy of support documentation, has an incredibly clean ui, and most importantly, it just works flawlessly. I highly recommend it
I have both and default use Media Player Classic. But VLC works just as well.
On windows, I have been a big fan of MPC-BE for years. That being said, I switch to linux (arch BTW) and now I watch basically everything using jellyfin instead.
That being said, VLC is the main Linux option, so VLC I guess.

VLC has been versatile, reliable, and available across platforms for a long time now. I use it for the simplicity of having a familiar and ready solution.
I really like SMPlayer if not that then VLC
VLC. It’s awesome.
mpv
Yes. You don’t need anything more.
But what about Rythmbox? 😎

I lice vlc
That’s worth a 1 day ban sir 😂
I have to say, I kinda miss the quirky XP era design instead of everything being a boring rectangle
In recent years I would have to say MPC-HC simply because it plays everything I throw at it flawlessly while VLC has failed me more and more in recent years.
