I can only say I've noticed one bug with VLC:  If you have repeat play
on and try to play a broken file it'll deadloop with very heavy CPU
use, and it's nearly impossible to make it quit.

I nearly always use VLC for playing things, but I often use mpv for
those double-click on unknown video files to figure out which is which.
As a simple one-at-a-time player, it's reasonably good, but I
absolutely hate its on-screen progress bar when you whiz through a
file.  I can't find any way to disable it.  It's big, and usually in
the way.

Why do programmers put on screen displays in such stupid places?
