#22I just tried today's daily Windows x64 installer, and Windows Defender is blocking it, reporting that it's infected with "Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.D!cl" Might be a false positive, but I'm not moving forward until I know.
I'm surprised they don't provide a checksum, or a PGP signature, or both. Did people forget about Handbrake already?

#23I've always found VLC's UX very awkward. Very happy with mpv.io. On Windows, MPC-HC until it's been abandoned recently; Replaced it with MPC-QT, which is a mpc-hc-like UX but implemented using libmpv.

I agree about the UX, but it's just so damn reliable.

#25chromecast!
Now how long until Google breaks the API again? They did that the last time people started implementing Chromecast renderers in open source projects.

#26I’d like to have mac version of it. Eager to test if 4k videos play smoothly.
There's a build from 12/25 that might be sufficient for that:

Yeah, but it can't skip 5 seconds ahead. I mean, ostentatiously, it can, but with horrible lags and jerking. I can't watch a video where I don't have fast skip. MPlayer, a much worse player than VLC, had instant skip for all file formats. Youtube has instant skip. But VLC doesn't even use the forward/backward keys for skipping, it uses Alt-Cmd-Arrow or some arcane combo. Clearly they dropped the ball on skipping.

Tried submitting it to virustotal? Edit: I might be close to paranoid but I've seen to many cases of nice freeware or open source software getting compromised or even selling out to adware.

Playback -> Jump to Specific Time
What about that?
