I would go with mpv there instead of the obvious VLC. It just so much faster and bug-free!




And if you love the command line, MPV (https://mpv.io/) is an even faster and contains less bugs than VLC.


I only recently discovered mpv. Is it possible to make it resume the playback where it was left off?


Yes, from the mpv(1) man page:

       Q      Like q, but store the current playback position. Playing the  same  file  later
              will resume at the old playback position if possible.
Just quit with Q instead of q.


awesome! thanks a lot!
