I'm personally fond of mpv, mostly because it's "light" - it starts faster than VLC, and it (by default) pops up a single window per file (so I can easily have multiple things open, rather than VLC's default of opening everything in one instance), and I personally favor the minimal UI (okay, complete lack of UI).

However.

VLC always works. Sometimes mpv randomly stops working on a machine, or gets undermined by codec support (OpenSUSE, I'm looking at you). So when that happens... I just open my media in VLC. Because VLC works everywhere, on every system (oh, that reminds me that it's the best Android media player), on every format.

mpv also is opengl ain't it? I remember it always lit up the fans on my Mac, and I figured that was the reason. Since Mac OGL compatibility can be shaky.

Looks like OpenGL and Vulkan, yeah
