I've been trying out a Qt5-based multimedia player, QMPlay2 and after some
back and forth with the nicely reactive author I think the time is right
to submit my port for it.
Some advantages over VLC as I know it:
- works with FFmpeg 3.x
- easier and configurable interface with plenty of useful features like
YouTube browsing (and downloading)
- a playlist that survives restarts
- single-frame stepping
- integrated support for hardware acceleration (VideoToolBox based,
doesn't work on my system though (HD3000 GPU))
- builds out-of-the box or almost and uses CMake, as opposed to the
significant hacking required of VLC's already messy autoconf-based build
system.
Without hardware acceleration it burns a bit more CPU than VLC though,
possibly because it uses Qt instead of a purely native backend.
