I sometimes hear video player leaks some ransomware etc., until the begining of this year I used to VLC but after leaks I had to removed it . So now this time I am open for advice. Thanks
MPC-BE +madVR You can experiment with SVP (smooth video project) for playing back video files in super smooth high frame rates. Helps massively with anime movies. I personally use VLC most of the time as I watch a lot of foreign movies and VLC has a built in subtitle downloader (other may have this too but I've never looked).
I also use Media Player Classic. together with the mpc video render (nightly build). Media Player Classic Home Cinema 1.9.7 X64 https://www.free-codecs.com/media_player_classic_home_cinema_download.htm MPC Video Renderer 0.4.8.1442 - nightly build - clean file https://www.free-codecs.com/mpc_video_renderer_download.htm
MPC-BE/MadVR/SVP I used to use PotPlayer but its started to be bundled with malware that can't be opted out of (FusionCore or something), plus I could never get it to play as good with SVP as I could with MPC-BE. The interpolation is smoother on the latter; there's an inherent slight-yet-noticeable jitter with PotPlayer I could never get rid of.
Torrent content is a pirated content, isn`t it? I had an impression guru3d does not agree with pirated content.
And even this way - its not about video player, just sequential download enough (qbittorrent has it for sure, utorrent maybe too).
mpv. It just-worked for me in Linux, and also works nicely on Windows, along with being lightweight. The packager for the Windows binaries also includes a batch file to enable high-quality mode.
MPC-BE (and also HC i think) do have a option to use torrent to stream conversion - yes. -> TorrServer, stream torrent to http
