mpv has quirks in wayland and Gnome. I like X and KDE so that isn’t an issue for me.
VLC 3 doesn’t support HDR, you have to wait for VLC 4.
Actually, you may be correct, even with some workarounds for windows, the colors are too bright, I can’t post a screenshot since the colors are pale in it, no difference from the Image above. I now dropped VLC as my primary video player.
I’m glad I found smplayer, it works best for me, and I think I should consider mpv soon, and probably not as I’m currently comfortale with smplayer. I hope I don’t discover any more issues.
Me too, which is why I am considering using it.
Thanks @subluminal for replying again and again.
