I can only say I've noticed one bug with VLC: If you have repeat play
on and try to play a broken file it'll deadloop with very heavy CPU
use, and it's nearly impossible to make it quit.
I nearly always use VLC for playing things, but I often use mpv for
those double-click on unknown video files to figure out which is which.
As a simple one-at-a-time player, it's reasonably good, but I
absolutely hate its on-screen progress bar when you whiz through a
file. I can't find any way to disable it. It's big, and usually in
the way.
Why do programmers put on screen displays in such stupid places?
