I was missing Codecs in my Linux install. VLC couldn't play a single file

FFmpeg enters the chat

Yeah, guess where vlc gets all that muscle...

[–] [email protected] 47 points 9 months ago (5 children)

I thought it was libvlc that covers that but no, it is indeed libavcodec which is part of the ffmpeg project. Does anyone here know the relationship between libvlc and libavcodec?

Followed by MPV doing the same

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (9 children)

Whenever someone ask me media player for Linux I suggest MPV but for Binbows I suggest VLC. I don't know why?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I use mpv but the configuration is a big pain. Just try overriding a subtitle font in mpv, there are config files to change that don’t even exist by default and they live in different places depending on mpv version and it’s a huge mess.

I still do it because it’s lightweight and for some reason has better performance for me than VLC.
