VLC because it really is damn good. The only player which gives you a nice looking interface irrespective of the windowing system it runs upon - Gnome, KDE, XFCE, MS-Windows, Mac. And that 200% boost in audio is really helpful with files having very low audio.

On Android the ui is crap, though.

VLC is trash in comparison to MPC Classic. Period.

So far VLC has never failed me in functional area. On Android as well it is descent enough. It's just that we now expect more eye candy on mobile devices.

@Artemix It just often feels counter-intuitive and makes me tap a lot more than I should. MX Player was much better for me back when I used it.

My problem with the VLC android app is I have no idea what all those icons mean without tapping all of them.

@Artemix here I use MX Player Pro on Android. Proprietary if memory serves me right, but it's pretty good! Meanwhile on Windows and Linux I really like SMPlayer with its Mac theme. Eh, VLC is great, but it's really not the best out there IMO.

@electrineer that sucks.. I guess we'll see where it goes to with this new owner. One thing I noticed when I just installed it on my phone today, is that I had to agree with a privacy policy. I don't recall having to do that before. And after skimming through its privacy policy, I'm not very comfortable with it to be honest. I guess that I'll block the app from accessing the internet. Hopefully FX can then take care of the streams from my file server.

Edit: just reinstalled MX Player Pro and it turns out that you can deny the privacy policy.

The ads in mx player got kinda annoying, but it's still a great player and possibly the best paid alternative out there for mobile.

@Artemix Watching footage. Almost every.

@Artemix I think it displays some small footer ad in the video listing. It's been a while since I last used the free version of MX so things may have changed.. but from what I can recall, it wasn't too obtrusive. Needless to say, the paid version doesn't have it :)

@Artemix Don't bother him, he said he's on his period.
