I switched the media player again, from MPC-HC to mpv. Previously, I replaced PotPlayer with MPC-HC.
Why
There is nothing wrong with the MPC-HC, it’s just that my needs are changed. I tried many players until I switched to mpv, the mpv met all my expectations:
- Cross platform
- Scripting
- Embeddable
- Command interface and console
- Configuration for any aspect
