If I try to play 3 random videos in VLC, they all three will play perfectly. If I try those same three on anything else, at least one of them will be buggy in some way.
Yes you can argue there could be encoding problems in the video file of that buggy one, but somehow VLC just always works. Shit's unbelievably good, so I won't be switching.
Sadly i recently learned VLC doesn't just always work.
About a year ago i had an issue with playing FLAC files on VLC, where there would be short periods of no audio. I had recently made some upgrades to my audio hardware, so i was looking at my new hardware/cables/config.... but in the end i realized it always happened at the same point in the same files, so a software issue was more likely:

Nice quote from this issue: VLC is broken since months Use their nightly version, it has a nice new interface too, and no bugs. I don't get how they can keep a huge breaking bug like this in vlc from MONTHS.
And neither can i... until a year ago VLC was for me the pinnacle of "it just works". Now after them leaving a bug causing audio playback issues into their stable version for months, they broke my trust in them... they're probably still the best option out there, but now i'll just say probably, not for sure, and there is room for improvement...
And if it were some obscure format, sure, but FLAC? ....
Isn’t the logical conclusion here there’s an issue with the FLAC files instead of the player?
It would be if those weren't flac files i had for a long time and i knew didn't have any issues.
Well... I'd point you to this very nice blog post to help rationalize why it can take a long time.

Damn, that sucks. I've rarely used VLC for anything but video. I wonder if it's not super high priority because it's not a video bug? Sucks either way because yeah it has always seemed very solid
How many porn videos do you need to watch simultaneously?
spoiler
(for me it's 4 but I might have to go up to 9)I mean, I didn't say porn nor did I say simultaneously
All of them. Duh.
I remember the first time I encountered the Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) media type which ultimately lead me to downloading VLC as it was the only player that could handle it at the time
Same story. I even remember where the files came from - ripped from Daft Punk’s Homework album (I had and have the physical CD)
I used to use media player classic. it seemed good until I used VLC which was already way ahead of it
Not a 4K movie.
edit: the only reason I switched from VLC to potplayer was because VLC couldn't play my 2160p videos
Hmm I've definitely played many 4k videos in VLC. Don't remember having any issues.
Weird I never had issues playing 2160 porn in VLC, on occasion
Ok?
