VLC is buggy and weird sometimes, especially if you want to watch anything with subtitles.
Never ever had a problem with it. Well, it crashed probably a dozen times. A dozen times in total. I've been using it for more half a dozen years. For year and a half I hadn't updated it, it was some beta version and it
still played anything I threw at it. At that point I was playing around with videos and also had been testing like 20 video players continuously. Basically, VLC would play
anything. If it couldn't play the file, then it was damaged beyond repair. The K-Lite codec pack player (media Playe Classic, I think) was the second best but it was nowhere near as accepting as VLC. It could play some corrupted files but VLC almost never complained. And I must stress again - that was an old version of VLC - at that point it was several major releases back. I hadn't updated it because I never felt the need.
I'm somewhat convinced that VLC something like the messiah of video players.
