Yes. If I remember correctly VLC was originally configured (maybe still is) to network streams and prioritize no lag. That’s why you get weird artifacts in VLC sometimes that’s not present in mpv.
MPV cannot fulfill the playlist needs. So I regularly use MPV to play standalone videos, since it is superior, but I use VLC to play video playlists and to be able to rotate/flip and play a weird video.
SMPlayer frontend for MPV is just not the same as VLC.
VLC is the Swiss Army knife of media playback, while MPV is the superior standalone video player. Use both.
MPC-HC has an amazing function of video thumbnail on position seekbar, like YouTube and most online video sites. I really would want something like that for Linux.

I was searching for some kind of VLC based image / video processing algorithm to detect potholes

VLC: Very Large Cone
mpv has superior playback quality to VLC in my opinion.
Aren’t they both based on ffmpeg? Surely any quality difference is just a configuration issue?

I will say that on Windows at least I prefer MPC-HC because of how much smaller and snappier it is compared to VLC.
