Funny you say that. I never touch media player because vlc exists but on my work pc I tried to play a video file someone sent me from their iPhone and it defaulted to media player which promptly demanded I pay 4$ for a codec. I just closed it and opened the video in vlc instead. I could understand not including codecs for some weird formats but it was a fucking iPhone video.

i use media player when i need to listen to 20 barely different background drone sounds to pick one from as it opens the fastest (apart from the times when it doesn’t)

but yeah to open anything that is a “”“strange”“” codec i use VLC too

Yup and iPhones use a patented codec (HEVC) by default. No care for compatibility.

Yeah I don’t care about the reason. They’re making more money than God. They can figure it out.
