I just want to mention how VLC used to be the best player and then somehow shit happened to it.
Grievences: the video is now a separate window yey!.. Separate from the basic controls like “play”, “pause”, “skip exactly 10 seconds ahead for some reason”… The video scrollbar… ETC. Why? What idiot thought that was a good idea? I don’t understand! I’m full screen so I want to see what’s going on far ahead, not I gotta exit full screen, go to the scrollbar on the other window which will then bring the other window to the front and cover the video… Fucking stupifying of an idea!
Full screen not F11
Scrollbar… Here’s where you are, this is where you want to be! Yet!.. Well what happened in the middle? Show me what I’m scrolling through! WTF! I scroll so I can see the good parts as I am scrolling so I can drop it in the part I’m interested in! Who made that dumb decision to remove the scroll preview?
Oh… “Always on the top” lets fuck around with that! First, let’s have that setting on the main window which doesn’t include the video window. In settings for view. Yeah “always on the top” should be hidden away like that. Ok fine set the window to always on the top. Now play a video! Yey! It’s always on the top!!! As predictable as shit in a toilet! It’s the interface! You want one always on the top setting and you want it for the interface! Not for the video! Fuck the video! Nah, I’m on VLC! I want to see that play button real gud! I wanna see the scrollbar! Fuck the video! And for you, that stupidoo who wants to have the video always on the top… Let’s use the system interface. It’s fairly convenient! Cmon! Use it! Always on the top for the video window! Yey! Win! Look ma! I’m scrolling the video, which is “always on the top”! From this point to another point which I can’t see until I drop the bar there! Finally! Love to have to zoom the video real small to see that scroll bar!.. Ok next video!.. God damn! Ohh you got! You got me good! The next video is not always on the top! Great! You guys are fun! Yey! But good thing I can just go use the system “always on the top” to set my video to “just this one time on the top but not for the next video”. Love it
I can go on probably. Just wanted to share my frustration. Oh I hope they took the interface to a Russian torture camp where they keep the Microsoft teams team and they poke them in the eyeballs at random times thru the day.


As much as they are making an asshat of themselves here, I fail to see how that’s relevant.
