mpv is where it's at for me. I love benig able to fast forward/rewind with the scroll wheel.
Plus it does a better job of buffering when you're playing a video from a network like a NAS or url.
I did some checking on why smplayer was displaying anime so badly and I found right off that even though mpv can be used instead smplayer used mplayer2, little better but then I tried a few tricks like using VDPAU and postprocessing set to up to 6 layers of filters and a few smaller tweaks and now it looks much better and that lag when using the mousewheel to move forward and the video not going but the audio playing is gone. I guess mplayer2 was the part fucking up everything because before when I had mplayer2 I couldn't use VDPAU at all, it would error on me. So thanks for getting on my ass so I'd get my ass in gear and fix it like a real linux user and not a windows drone.
THat's why I use smplayer because it's the mpv gui. I like baka also an mpv gui because it has better graphics for anime for some reason.
