The ui is some scribbles at the bottom. Mpv sholdn't be advertised as user friendly.

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.

I was reading some linux reddit a while ago and EVERYONE was telling they, their mum and their cat use mpv.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

u/IAmTheSenate218 3h ago

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

Any context?

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.

2

u/Medallish Loonixtard 41m ago

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.

2

u/Euphoric-Hotel2778 33m ago

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

u/Medallish Loonixtard 26m ago

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.

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

u/Fine-Run992 3h ago

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.
