I've tried tons of different ones and QMPlay2 is the one I settled on.
I didn't realize it had this issue of only one instance, maybe it didn't
have this problem at the time, and the only thing I didn't like, it not
closing at the end. Otherwise, it worked as I wanted out of the box
really.
I just tried mpv again. I can't find the menu bar so I can adjust some
things. It doesn't seem to have a preferences thing that I can find.
You know where they hide that thing? Usually ctrl M I think makes the
menu bar appear but didn't work here. It does look ok. It plays the
videos I tried it on at least. After all, most every player out there
is just a front end to mpv or ffmpeg type software anyway.
I didn't test multiple instance yet tho. Sort of ran into the no menu
thing. lol
