Nope, that's how VLC behaves on an "average" machine these days (although I'll grant this is
obviously datamoshed and edited). You really need a gaming rig not to notice how bad VLC is now.
MPC ftw.

Back in the day sub groups used to code their releases to specifically not work well or at all
with VLC because for a while it was indeed shit.
Even with the subbers doing that VLC improved though and now its hands down the best all in one
media center but the old fags just won't let it go.

I have a very below average pc that I picked up about 4 years ago for ~$500 and I now use it as a
media center plugged into my tv. Thing doesn't even have a gpu aside from whats integrated into
the cpu and I watch 1080 anime and HD network streams during football season on VLC with 0
problems aside from my sometimes slow ass internet.

it was specifically named in a wikileak of the cia that they hack VLC. it's trash, also you can
only run one instance of it at once

You know thats a setting right? To allow or disallow running more than one instance at a time

And your smartphone isn't?
Why does it matter if the cia can get into VLC? What could they find out other than I have shit
taste in anime?
Not like I'm building bombs so I don't care and I think its funny af if any of you think cia is
actually spying on anyone through vlc they have not already found shit on elsewhere

lol good argument kid. It's fundamentally trash if it has known security holes that allows anyone

This. I've never had a single issue with VLC player. 1080p anime and 1080p 60FPS video and it's
crisp and smooth.

The "hack" requires them manually installing VLC on your computer or you downloading an infected
copy which you won't, because the CIA doesn't distribute it on the internet, because CIA doesn't
care about random people watching videos at home.
If you're still concerned, imagine downloading VLC from a shady site the internet and you got a
data-gathering virus instead. VLC isn't vulnerable, you just downloaded a virus. If you got VLC
on the official site there's no vulnerability. They can't magically hack your VLC remotely.
>>3230351
They just altered an old portable version of VLC's code to start another hidden data gathering
program in the background. It's just a way to covertly make a target's computer run code without
having the user double click on CIA-VIRUS.exe. The exploit is literally worth forgetting, it's no
different than any average virus.

interesting. I wonder if deleting all your local content and reinstalling would ensure you are
not currently infected. From what I read I think that would work.

Great meme flash, always gets lots of replies on /f/. It's funny because VLC runs completely fine
nowadays but people still get triggered when you imply VLC is still as bad as the early days of
media players.
Well baited, my friend.

It would, but it's highly unlikely that you're infected in the first place.
