Video player with smooth scrubbing for Windows 11?

Pantreus · 2024-01-08 12:01

Since I first installed Windows 10 on my 10-year-old PC, I loved the default "Movies & TV" app for video playback. Scrubbing was perfectly smooth, regardless of how fast I was dragging the slider. Now, I have a modern, high-end PC, running Windows 11 and the Movies & TV app is stuttery as hell. Same goes for VLC and PotPlayer. At this point, I'm thinking this is an OS issue. Has anyone else experienced this? What are some other good video players?
I'm looking for something super basic, like the Movies & TV app and VLC. Even if PotPlayer had worked, it's too clunky for casual playback.

Have you tried MPC-BE?

I haven't, but it may be worth a shot. I liked the old players fine anyway. Sometimes everything scrubs smoothly with current players; it just doesn't work consistently.

On one hand, I say Windows is absolute and total shit and I'd be right. On the other hand, it's all we've got and it is the standard. And don't give me the Linux BS. Linux doesn't do what Windows is capable of. Not even close... What I'm wondering is; why isn't there some alternative that works properly? The better Windows gets, the worse it gets. It's both. Looking for opinions, ideas, conversation and perspective. (Not a coder. Not a command-line guy. I knew a bit of BASIC in the 80's and that's it.)
