VLC 3.0.22 is now available for download as the latest stable version of this open-source, cross-platform, and free media player for GNU/Linux, Android, macOS, Windows, and other platforms.
Coming more than a year after VLC 3.0.21, the VLC 3.0.22 release introduces a dav1d-all-layers option for the dav1d AV1 decoder for outputting all spatial layers of a scalable AV1 bitstream. This option could also be set via the dav1d command-line interface by using the --alllayers argument.
VLC 3.0.22 also introduces A_ATRAC/AT1 support in Matroska (MKV), adds support for handling pictures in FLAC containers, adds support for handling the mkv-use-chapter-codec option, adds an option to use a dark palette on the Qt interface, and adds an AMD GPU Frame Rate Doubler (Direct3D11) video filter.
I remember making fun of VLC users on /a/ and flexing my MPC-HC/MadVR setup that made my laptop fans rev and the screen flash just going fullscreen. That was over a decade ago now. Good times.
Last time I watched a video on the computer was shrek with some ascii filter or something. This will surely be an improvement.
I’ve been suffering with MPV (on windows) so much I might just give vlc a try
I’ve been using Potplayer for several years, been very happy with it.
I have (over the past 2 days) noticed I require a long list of specific features to really enjoy a media player, MPV.net was perfect but it hasnt been updated in a year and started to misbehave for me, I’m kinda losing all hope. Might try potplayer tho, who knows
