It runs better, but VLC is much more user friendly

shrugs idk. Vlc has more features. Not sure I'd call it easier.

Just use smplayer as the frontend for mpv and you're all set.

Tell your parents to set mpv to loop a video and see how it goes

Such beings do not deserve to use computers. We're talking about humans here, not our monkey ancestors.

The cool part is vlc can act like a video downloader, screen recorder, and media converter. It can also stream a video over the internet

VLC is nice, but same as SMplayer or Mplayer, it can`t download a video, but record it in streaming. I used VLC before, but VLC lacks in speed, it's very slow compared to the mencioned.

The trick is you get the stream url from vlc, then load it up in a browser to download it fully.

VLC: it can do anything media related. I wish iTunes can do this without being so bloated.

And the dude who maintains VLC do not even make money from it, at all!

He is also an extremly annoyed french guy who has no fucks left to give. One of the maintainers is on an episode of the FOSSPOD and it was glorious
