✨ winner - best vid player well designed like youtube / twitch ✨
youtube basics
1 youtube was made by a student, not a gifted student just an average regular student
2 that was a very long time ago
3 not a single dev or designer had basic design skills or talent to make a good vid player for desktop since then
4 that's sad
5 youtube was brought by google cos it was good
everyone already knows the basic history of youtube, cos ofc it's in the top 5 of the most widely used site on this entire web. ppl read ppl learn so ofc they know basic things like this
it doesnt take a billion or trillion to make good things, just a person who knows basic things
it's the same with twitch
twitch didnt become good cos it took billions and trillions
twitch was brought by amazon cos it was already good
see https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/399431-video-editor-that-takes-fewest-steps-to-clip-video
so which vid player is nearest to a well designed vid player like youtube?
testing these: potplayer gom player kmplayer
anything else worth testing ? lemme knw
any worthwhile paid ones to test, does the above basics?
with default settings:
opens + plays the last thing you were at like upon open any good software/tools across all contexts does
🔻pot
🔻gom
🔻km
plays vid at where you last left off like youtube twitch does
🔻pot
🔻km
🔻gom
opens in fullscreen OR goes into full when play vid
🟢pot
🟢km
🔻gom
seems like fullscreen is based on the specific video played, so this is inconsistent ui/ux/design = bad
loops repeat vid by default
🔻pot
🔻gom
🔻km - seems like this was using the extremely bad ui/ux of open source software like mpv etc
loop is 2 steps or less like in youtube
🟢gom - 2
🔻pot - 4
🔻km - wtf ??? copies open source garbage
setting of loop is remembered upon reopen
🟢pot
🟢gom
🔻km - copies open source garbage
playlists: plays next in folder
🟢pot - has playlist on side
⚠️gm - needs loop setting
🔻km
km has been dismisssed + uninstalled at this point/stage for being complete crap
it's pretty clear that km has copied / was built on top of garabage open source software that was made by ppl that had no design skills, and knew nothing about good ui/ux
i assume the good designers on the web / world are making web players / mobile players and that's why state of desktop vid player is complete trash and will stay that way probably forever
shows title somewhere visible + well
🟢pot
🔻gm
f or fullscreen key to go fullscreen like with every other apps tools out there
🔻pot
🔻gm
......
....
..........
wtf.... who designed this shit..... ?
at least has icon button to go fullscreen
🟢pot
🔻gm
double click to pause, not single click
🟢pot
🟢gm
it's pretty clear pot > gm at this point but lets do a few more basics to see how they compare
easy to change hotkey of increase decreaes play speed
🔻pot .... eh... wth.. it doesnt even have default hotkeys/keybinding like in even shitty-designed games... wow... just wow....
🔻gm - same.... lol....
can search settings to find shit cos it has such bad defaults
🟢pot
🟢gm
setting is fullscreen OR has overall good ui/ux
🔻pot
🔻gm
can search within hotkeys setting
🔻pot - wtf is this ?????
🟢gm - not too good
can press 1 2 9 to go/skip to 10% 20% 90% of vid like on youtube
🔻pot - prob doesnt have
🔻gm - who knwos prob not doesnt have tons of basic thigns
can easiely set it as default player for all vid/music files
🟢pot
🔻gm - ???
auto-updates
?
test in future
auto-load subtitles within folder
?
test in future
has forum support
🟢pot
🔻gm
has GOOD forum support
??
test future
actually uses a good forum unlike many bad old outdated ones out there ......
?
auto-saves changes of settings/options/peferences
🔻pot - does but doesnt show it, setting ui screen is shit
🟢gm
anything else worth testing ? lemme knw
any worthwhile paid ones to test, does the above basics?
