When i try to see a video with VLC the CPU goes 100%

[None1975]

is there any way to fix the vlc please?

VLC has been and will always be like a bag full of bugs. I recommend you try and use Smplayer.

well i tried gnome-mpv , its doing ok . the cpu is working on 15-20% but still with mpv i dont have all the options i have on vlc . is there any way to fix the vlc please?

I've tried to explain how to you, but you haven't tried it yet. Please read the part about va-api acceleration for VLC and mpv. I can play even 4K videos on my laptop with 1% extra CPU use (though it's quite a powerful CPU anyway, I also have it working on a less powerful Skylake i5-6200u system).

SMPlayer does have many more features than the rather plain gnome-mpv. I also have a player in my repo called mpc-qt, which uses mpv's libmpv1 engine for playback, and also has many bells and whistles. But if you ignore me again, go pound sand.

Oh, so you have one of those quirky BayTrail tablet-like devices? Nice of you to tell us from the start what you were using...
