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 was hoping that mpv would work a bit better than vlc for sending video to chromecast, but unfortunately, another similarly amusing thread: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/177
This isn't remotely similar. Nowhere is the MPV developer (
wm4) being unreasonable in that thread. And while
wm4 was not exactly known for interpersonal skills, he was rarely wrong unlike Remi in this case in claiming things to be impossbile when they are not.
