RIP. Is VLC the best alternative at the moment?

I really like PotPlayer. mpv is great but requires a bit of tinkering, whereas PP comes with some ready to go defaults and as much flexibility as MPC-HC.

As a potential replacement, there's https://github.com/cmdrkotori/mpc-qt which uses mpv backend, but has the MPC look and feel.

I have been using MPC-BE for many many years and it is being actively developed with developers feedback and response on Doom9.

Me too. VLC had and has many many qualities, but mpv is so slick and versatile while VLC is a bit of a kitchen sink.

I even use mpv on windows...

Why has this version been forked off?

How can this come to an end :( - I am not a C/C++ dev. But I would like to support this project money wise if it would help?

I used MPC-HC for many years. It was great! For some reason I can't remember, I switched to PotPlayer some 2 years ago. RIP, and if some developer is watching: Thank you, I watched many hours of movies and series using your software.

It's a media player. Frankly, it's pretty frickin "feature complete" as it is right now.

Maybe you want someone to update the ffmpeg it links to. Occasionally. But that's already well into "super power user" territory.
