    I have both VLC and MPV and VLC used to take 0.5 second to seek forward while MPV being completely seamless. But I just tested again today and VLC has become seamless too with very minor differences. idk what changed

    Edit: to answer your question I can’t say much other than preferences. I like MPV because it’s minimal, but VLC is good too

      The problem I have with vlc is it’s too minimal. I use the playback settings a lot and there are looping and playlist to enqueue videos. It’s just easier to use and you don’t have to memorize a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for a damn video player.

        mpv has a video controller on screen and if that isn’t enough, you can use smplayer which is GUI frontend for mplayer & mpv
