Does anyone have a recommendation for a #linux video player that doesn't give a fuck about files being incomplete? I have one video spread over 3 broken files, I just want it to continue playing so I can switch to one of the other broken files to watch that bit there.
Both Gnome Videos and VLC care a bit too much, with both eventually just hanging.
mpv and mplayer both do the trick! Thank you all!
Things are very broken as I expected. But the video mostly works (there are bits that are flawless, bits that are a mess, and bits that are entirely gone) and I have sound (in a language I don't understand, so it isn't that important).
Mpv maybe?
@kainisenni MPlayer maybe?
@kainisenni
mplayer -idx <filename>
@kainisenni mpv or some skinned mpv like celluloid ; works for me; try smplayer if all fails
This doesn't really exist. Digital video files aren't analogues to film or video tape.
ffmpeg is your best bet in copying or converting the working parts and using those for playback.
