Mpv – A free, open-source, and cross-platform media player

I use it to inspect video frames by frames, particularly being able to go back one frame. VLC doesn't support it, this thread about the feature is hilarious https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=120627

i wonder why he's such an ass about it, and totally adamant that it's impossible when multiple players already do this fast. ego?

He mentions in the thread that he had to delete posts offensive to the developers. Maybe that's why?

In fairness to him, he offers the posters an opportunity to propose a technical solution and responds to all the posts that do it. It is interesting that nobody in the thread went to check in the code of mpv, smplayer, etc. to see how it's done there. Surely this would be the best response to his request for technical suggestions?

Maybe because these users just can't code?

It would be still interesting that the intersection between the set of users who claim on this forum it's possible and the set of users who can code is empty.
