I much prefer OPlayer. Great features, plays nearly any file I throw at it, and supports WiFi transfers.
OPlayer has smoother playback for me. I just tried VLC and the first video I tried it said the hardware was to slow to play it. I'm using a 4G iPod Touch. So I converted some some videos with Handbreak using the iPod Touch preset. I tried about ten converted videos and none of them played smoothly. OPlayer handles all of them.

The full source code is provided and all the build script, see the beginning of 6.a. Any user can rebuild it.
How can the end-user then replace the executable on their iOS device ? That is the problem.

>it's been my default video app since I can remember. Curious as to what you think about MPlayer, MPC-HC, or mpv, which have mostly taken the crown in nerd circles as being the de facto video players.
I don't want to go off-topic, but since VLC developers are reading this thread, here's where MPlayer (I use MPlayerX) is still better than VLC: - MPlayer starts much faster. - MPlayer loads videos much faster. - MPlayer has very convenient shortcuts for skipping forward or backward by 10 seconds (just press the right or left arrow), which are a godsend when you're watching something in a foreign language and you need…

Does OPlayer have AC3 support?
Oplayer has been my favorite, since it's slowly implementing all the esoteric features I use vlc for, including subtitle font size adjustment, etc (though it's not all the way there.).

smplayer isn't windows only. It does work on linux fairly well too. That being said, I have grown to like VLC more lately.
Quite right, my mistake. The point still stands, though, as Windows (the dominant OS by a huge margin) has no stable releases of the base MPlayer app, so there's no one version people can grab. Whereas VLC runs quite well on Windows, Mac and Linux.
