First, I download old films (usually MP4) which frequently play Ok the first few times but eventually loose sync. If I play the same file on VLC no sync problem exists demonstrating that the file is good.
Some films I’ve had a good number of years and are still fine.
Some have sync probs after a second viewing and some have sync probs immediately after download but they all play Ok on VLC.
Occasionally I get a dicky download that won’t sync on either player but a second download from the same source fixes the problem.
I like SMPlayer very much and I would rather not use VLC but sometimes its just too much hassle messing about with SMPlayer I’m sorry to say.
It’s been like this for years.
