I've been long time VLC user but I've switched to SMPlayer recently due to weird freeze bug in Manjaro, it really rocks
@nikolal
Does the weird freezing bug happen when you play remote streams? Like from mounted remote filesystems? I'm guessing your freezing bug causes VLC to not be able to close and you can't play media files until you restart the system, correct?
@mister_monster
Correct, but not just remote streams, also with local media files
@nikolal
I've dealt with that also, I believe it is a codec problem. I've dealt with it in Arch and Debian systems as well, usually with remote filesystems I just unmount the drive and VLC will then stop. I've never been able to fix it but I am certain it is an issue with a codec.
@mister_monster
Well I didn't want to bother anyway with it just wanted to watch some tv shows
