[QUOTE="vaccineboy, post: 1072141, member: 74786"] No problem. Sure VLC is a trusted name. I'm not trying to convince you to switch, but SMPlayer and its backends (mpv, MPlayer) are all open source. MPlayer (first released in 2000) is even older than VLC (2001) whereas SMPlayer is not much younger (2006) and mpv is already 10 years old (2013). In fact, after my previous post, I've tried SMPlayer again on Windows and it is even smoother than PotPlayer, so now SMPlayer is my go-to on both Linux and Windows. For me, all other players (including VLC and PotPlayer) stutter at varying degrees when playing files from my cloud folder, even on new powerful hardware, not the case for SMPlayer. Again, I'm not trying to convince you. I'm just happy to find something that works perfectly for me. [/QUOTE]
