I guess it is minimal but VLC is extremely powerful. It is like emacs, that thing has an OS. You can stream, record, pick up streams, watch through a computer TV connector, convert files, separate audio, and a whole bunch more.
I am not bashing the product, but I think the functionality and maturity of VLC (and being pretty lightweight) trump movie monad.

I prefer mpv for playing my videos because it is very light and fast but it isn't easy to install on Windows, something not really important for me but important for some people. There are plenty of good video players but most of that people will prefer use something they know well like vlc instead of another player, sadly, no matter how good it is.

I use mplayer, it's command bassed, but to the basics (and not so basic) only -mplayer file.mp4- it's needed. Also it's very customizable and if you need a GUI there is smplayer. I prefer it to vlc and mpv.

Why does everyone like MPV so much? I tried it and saw that it hardly offers any options so I can't see how it's better than VLC. Can anyone explain?

That'd be a no go for me. Only because of that title bar at the top pushing the whole video down. Be great if it could be an overlay instead.

First time hearing about this application. Thanks for sharing with us. Btw, I still prefer my combo: MPV for video and MPD + NCMPCPP for music

Thank you, Derek. Videos are bloat unless they play in ascii. Seriously, I like VLC but usually use MPV. I might try this out though.

A bit off topic, but anyone knows why my Linux Mint doesn't play sound through HDMI? It worked fine on the Windows install.
