(O)h VL(C), we love you.
I think SMPlayer is the most popular and easy to use one, but it looks ugly as hell. mpv.net seems to be the next most popular and it looks just like the regular MPV with more features built into the GUI. Glow is a simple alternative to make your own config to control features, but I don't know if that is more customizable than VLC. Generally, if you want something specific, you do it yourself with MPV.

Any 3rd party players on Windows that support Plex's library?
This player is highly configurable, but doesn't have GUI for its settings - you'll have to look up what you need on https://mpv.io/manual/stable/ and paste it into the config file (or you can use this config generator: https://github.com/MattMcManis/Glow). Alternatively, you can try using mpv.net (which has settings GUI), as an external mpv option in Plex MPV Shim settings - it may work if you launch mpv.net manually before casting, but I didn't try that yet.

Unable to show Thumbnails in mpv

are there any mpv frontends that make mpv look like a streaming service?
The autoload script can be used to start the next episode. For frontends I think ModernX might be what you're looking for.

Hey, all! I was wondering what these numbers mean? Usually I just download a random 1080p torrent, but the image quality and size varies wildly even between different 1080p torrents. I see these numbers on almost every movie torrent, so what do these numbers mean? What should I keep in mind?

MordenX, fork with some changes.
- What apps are you using on win 11?
-
Open source Windows apps you might have not heard of but (probably) should have
There is also mpv.net for Windows which is compatible with mpv configurations and settings. You can also change the osd for regular mpv or mpv.net too. I use MordenX.
