Vlc media player initial release5/31/2023 I just finished doing it, but I can wait for you to catch up. desktop file for YouTube-DLG, and learn how to easily keep both programs up to date. (For anyone who wants to tease me about that, just pretend you’re a Linux noob using a conservative distro with a limited repository and want to install the latest (non-broken) versions of youtube-dl and youtube-dl-gui (aka YouTube-DLG), make a functional. I *also* can’t say how well VLC and SMPlayer work on my Linux laptop because I’m still in the midst of configuring it. But since I almost never watch videos or listen to music on my phone, I really can’t say how well it works. On my Android phone, SMPlayer is not available so I use VLC for both video and audio. The biggest hassle in using the two players is that their default keyboard shortcuts are very different and I’m a little reluctant to customize one to more closely match the other because it screws me up when I have to use someone else’s computer … and I still don’t know SMPlayer’s keyboard shortcuts as well as I know VLC’s. And because VLC’s playlist management is better than SMPlayer’s - not mind-blowingly great, just a little less primitive - I use VLC for audio. On *my* Windows laptop, at least, SMPlayer’s video rendering and stability is *markedly* better than VLC 3.0.x’s, so I use SMPlayer for videos. For a while now, I’ve been trying (to the extent possible) to use Windows apps that are cross-platform with Linux, and for media players I’ve ended up with VLC and SMPlayer.
