You want to trim a few seconds from your movie to share with your friends? There's a script for that. There are a tons of scripts, shaders and forks for it: You want it to have at least a GUI? Try mpv.net You're used to MPC so you want it to feel and behave like that? Try MPV-Made-Easy You want it to save a log/history of everything you have played? There's script for that. The amount of customization and configuration that it offers is simply beyond imagination. PhonixTetra's Experience The lack of GUI is definitely a deal-breaker at first sight, but if you take your time and configure it properly to your needs, you'll love it.
