I use VLC. I have no real reason for choosing it other than knowing it since I was a kid, and it doing the job I need perfectly fine so far

Since I switched to linux, I have only used mpv. It is far more costumizable, has a ton of keybinds. Also in my expirience it has a lot less bugs, however my usecase is pretty common.

Ever since VLC came on the scene it has been my go-to. Just a really functional player that plays almost anything I throw at it, and I like the UI well enough. For now I have no reason to use anything else. I’m not hating on other players, but VLC works for me.

In the 15 years I have used vlc there has only been one file it couldn’t play and so I have had no need to try another player.
