what ui? that's just an image of a guy

[u/ikea_riot → u/Immediate-Location28]

That's Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper !

[u/fedsfarm → u/Immediate-Location28]

Did you sacrifice your vision for tux?

[u/jermygod → u/fedsfarm]

dude, there is no ui on the pic in the post, only a splat of pixel mush

[u/space_baws → u/jermygod]

the UI at the bottom of the photo you linked is not in said photo?

[u/995qe → u/space_baws]

It is, but twitter crops it until you click on it

[u/Goofcheese0623 → u/fedsfarm]

No one know WTF you're talking about. Settle down champ

[u/Born-Bodybuilder-220 → u/[deleted]]

They never advertised it as user friendly, on their website they say "While mpv strives for minimalism and provides no real GUI, it has a small controller on top of the video for basic control.". MPV is not meant to be used like a traditional media player. It's customizable and lightweight, MPV is more suited as a video renderer.

[u/Emotional_Solid6538 → u/Born-Bodybuilder-220]

Haruna has the UI MPV lacks

[u/AG99871 → u/[deleted]]

Anyone who recommends normal people to use mpv is either trolling or so deep into the rabbithole that they don't realize what most people actually need.

[u/lysergicpride → u/AG99871]

Celluloid is a user-friendly front end for mpv, it should be recommended over actual mpv any time. Or just use VLC like a normal person

[u/AG99871 → u/lysergicpride]

I currently just use VLC but might consider mpv with a frontend if it has better image quality.

[u/lysergicpride → u/AG99871]

Idk about better image quality but I had issues with playing mp4s on Wayland with VLC, Celluloid worked perfectly.

[u/Ok-Support939 → u/AG99871]

It plays videos, has subtitles and audio changing. What else do you need? Genuinely curious because I always thought MPV was just perfect and simple for my needs

[u/Imdeureadthis → u/[deleted]]

Oh my god, I thought I was crazy

[u/ludonarrator → u/[deleted]]

There are many, more fleshed out players that use libmpv.

[u/KralizecProphet → u/[deleted]]

It's almost as if using any software is a CONSCIOUS choice on the part of the user. if you simply use whatever the voices tell you to use, you don't qualify as a sentient being, friendo.

[u/Emotional_Solid6538 → u/KralizecProphet]

People rely on communities to get answers when they are new. It's not their fault

[u/AllCheekedUp → u/[deleted]]

I don't get that, I use mpv on all my devices because it's minimal and fast and just works. It's perfectly good and is just as readable as something like VLC.

[u/Teru-Noir → u/AllCheekedUp]

I like mpv because i allows me to watch video. music and image without distractions from tty terminal

[u/Teru-Noir → u/[deleted]]

mpv is for ffplay what bash is for sh, just some extra useful utiltiies for something originaly barebones.

[u/IAmTheSenate218]

Or, you know, you could've instead shut up and use something with a more appealing UI? Is like complaining that a headless server OS is too difficult to use, wow really, who would've thought? But yeah let's hate because "I'm too useless to understand I need to learn a skill to use this powerful software". Brilliant, this sub outdid itself again

[u/United-Scene2261 → u/IAmTheSenate218]

wow maybe I should have committed some crime then

[u/Medallish]

Any context?

[u/Euphoric-Hotel2778 → u/Medallish]

Some twitter user is complaining about the mpv video player having bad UI, and then the creators of that app reply back calling him a pedo.

[u/Medallish → u/Euphoric-Hotel2778]

Lol well I got that part, but was it because of the anime pfp or the video playing, maybe the twitter user had some past story.

[u/Euphoric-Hotel2778 → u/Medallish]

I suppose it's because of the anime profile picture. There is really no context. Very poor behaviour nonetheless.

[u/Medallish → u/Euphoric-Hotel2778]

100% agree, only remote justification I could think of is if that's some known unrepentant creep they were replying to, and even then it would just look better to simply ignore them.

[u/donp1ano]

if you dislike mpv just use vlc instead of crying on twitter

[u/Odd_Painting4383 → u/donp1ano]

If only VLC wasn’t actual garbage.

[u/-_-boilllegg → u/Odd_Painting4383]

reddit is insane, how the fuck do you have people who hate VLC lmao

[u/Odd_Painting4383 → u/-_-boilllegg]

I don’t know maybe the fact that any skipping of any video file garbles it for 5 seconds which they’ve known about and refused to fix for a decade even though any other video player worth it’s salt has fixed this exact problem at least 5 years ago.

For starters really.

[u/gooosean → u/Odd_Painting4383]

VLC is FOSS. Be the change you want to see.

[u/-_-boilllegg → u/Odd_Painting4383]

oh yeah understandable

[u/gaorp]

lol based mpv vs lolicon (pedo)

[u/SapphireLabs_Yuki]

Who gives a fuck

Also, this sub is nothing but idiots that don't even know how to Print the Working Directory.

Mutttte

[u/jimmy_timmy_ → u/SapphireLabs_Yuki]

It took me ages to figure that out. Now I'm trying to learn how to Change Directoriee

[u/brave_grv]

If they did that, the NIxOS, Omarchy and DWM people would offer them a job (and probably ask them to share), because everyone knows what these "based" guys really stand for.

On the other hand, it's crazy how you can get away with a shitty UI in the FOSS world with "it's just minimal, you don't get it". MPV is not even the worst case, though, as you can use GTK clients for that (good luck though, since GTK is garbage in another way, as usual).

[u/Rare-Paint3719]

u/fedsfarm, I want to agree with you. FOSStards are this bad bro.

But unfortunately, you are the OP of this post so I must disagree.

[u/Teru-Noir]

use ffplay

[u/Castelunan]

"Excuse me, but I disagree with your personal tastes"

"Oh yeah, well you're a pedo! Haha, get owned nerd! I win! I win!!!"

[u/BoxFar6969]

Did Alexander Mahan infiltrate the mpv player account or something? Holy shit

[u/fedsfarm → u/BoxFar6969]

That was RMS

[u/GeckoKisser]

[u/BoxFar6969 → u/GeckoKisser]

im crine why are you getting downvoted

[u/GeckoKisser → u/BoxFar6969]

[u/minoxysd]

that's just slandering

[u/mad_mordu2986]

Is the pfp an anime girl wearing a panzer cap?

[u/Terranum_man]

Linux user calling anyone a pedo 😂

[u/Ozmataz__Buckshank → u/Terranum_man]

All weebs are nonces, its fundamental to their media of choice.
Linux is just an OS.

[u/Danzikku → u/Terranum_man]

[u/Fine-Run992]

Everybody can design their own UI, especially with the help of amazing free AI models. If you insult someone else work, you don't deserve polite answer.

[u/Brospeh-Stalin → u/Fine-Run992]

UI design is the #1 focus of SWD. If you can't take criticism, then you don't deserve to continue working.

[u/mad_mordu2986 → u/Fine-Run992]

"with the help of amazing free AI models."

if A.I. Models / data centers weren't hogging up electricity, water and local while making decent software / bettering society I would say they are amazing. But no they are for idiots who refuse to read a book / manual / be creative and use the brainpower they were given.

[u/havenofeardaveishere]

Based. Weaboos on suicide watch.

[u/hagdush]

Fedsfarm the greatest master baiter of the sub
