I’ve been using mpc with madvr for years, and the upscaling setting for stuff that isn’t 4k.
Mpv is my favourite player for pc & android
I’ve been using mpv for all kinds of content and have only had good experiences with it. Only the control scheme takes some getting used to as you do everything with keybinds instead of a clickable interface.
The keybinds are a + once you learn what you need. So quick to do stuff.
I’ve been using Haruna which is a version of mpv with a clickable interface. I don’t know why but mpv would sometimes lock my system, which Haruna doesn’t do also.
Only issue I’ve had with mpv is that everything is darker. I’ve recently gone back to VLC.
1 and 2 Adjust contrast.
3 and 4 Adjust brightness.
5 and 6 Adjust gamma.
7 and 8 Adjust saturation.
You could try these keybinds if you want to
Thanks! I’ll give that a shot.
VLC is actually known to have problems with colors so you are probably just used to them being wrong.
Got any links about this?
There is a notice on this wiki that contains some comparisons: https://thewiki.moe/guides/playback/
I’m sure you can find some more in-depth explanations but I will just copy/paste a quote I have seen from reddit.
- uses wrong matrix for RGB conversion (results in wrong colors)
- uses point upscaling for chroma planes
- introduces strong banding
- wrong chroma location (MPEG-1 for everything)
- Old subtitle renderer that in more Typesetting heavy situation will say fuck you
- all the other bugs (including some that haven’t been fixed in years) make it equally unsuitable media player.
MPC and Madvr, same as you
Jellyfin running on my jailbroken smart TV.
jailbroken smart TV.
tell me more oh wise one
If you have an LG smart TV running WebOS, there’s an exploit in the web browser you can use to gain root access and install the homebrew channel. It’s literally just going to a website and clicking a couple buttons. From there, you can install a number of different homebrew apps including the aforementioned Jellyfin, as well as ad-free YouTube, RetroArch and of course Doom.
The homebrew channel also lets you run an ssh/telnet server that gives you remote access to the TV’s back-end command line and filesystem. I found this functionally extremely useful for allowing the TV to still get online while having it behind a DNS server that blocks access to all of LG’s telemetry domains.
Tizen and WebOS are why I went with TCL instead of a similarly priced Samsung or LG even though they had a slightly better display panel.
Not just a video player but I watch most of my content on a Odroid N2+ with CoreELEC installed.
It runs Kodi with the Jellyfin plugin and plays everything you throw at it except Dolby Vision.
Same here.

The put.io Google/Android TV app is pretty decent, as long as you don’t have to reencode content.
MX player on Android with custom codecs, the OS alternatives are just not there when it comes to quality of life features
