Which Media Player package(s) do you use (and think is the best)?

I use an older version of KMPlayer. Plays everything with no headaches.
Probably, in the future, I ll move to The PotPlayer but not yet.
If anybody has a link for The PotPlayer user guide, I ll appreciate it.

Now I'm using the official Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Works great and has the absolutely lowest footprint.

 

Just installing Win7 codec packs and now my WMP player plays almost any digital audio and video format

 

J River Media Center 16

 

WMP 11 plays everything I want to play and has a nice, easy-to-use GUI. I used to use Winamp, but the latest versions of WMP have been so good I haven't bothered to download an alternative.

 

I think author/developer site is here

Thanks for the links. I had been to one of them before, neither site has a
user guide available. I tried PotPlayer and it does not come near KMP in
my opinion. I like to take a look at a manual to see if I missed something
when I tried it, I believe PP is missing many of the features that are
available in KMP.

It is because PotPlayer is still in Beta and has no final release version.
KMP is a final stable release version. Final releases are usually better to use than Beta releases. I usually wait for a final releases.

Thanks.

 

Hey Lttlebits, its gonna be hard for me to move away from the old version
of KMP that I am using. I know PotPlayer is on Beta but I never been able
to find a downloadable user guide for KMP neither. I dont think the guys
that develop this players have ever released one.

Shark Codec not included
I use that Its the best for me. Can play any file with no problems

 

I use PotPlayer. Easier to get dxva acceleration than with most players. It only has an issue when subs are animated but I supose it will be resolved soon.

 

JetAudio Plus VX for audio.

Daum PotPlayer for video.

 

PotPlayer is now the top pick at Gizmo's

Ya man best quality video.

 

For my music, foobar2000. For videos VLC.

 

* K-Lite Codec Pack
* MPC Home Cinema - video
* XMPlay, 1by1 - music

 

foobar2000 (with additional encoders),and MPC Home Cinema with a couple of codecs (RealAlternative,QuickTime Alternative,Xvid...,and a few things required by FFCoder).

 

Has anyone used Ashampoo Photo Commander to play videos? I started using it as it was suggested by someone and I have not went back to another player since then. AS for videos and photos for me. For music I use 1by1 and foobar.

 

SMPlayer for video and Audacious for music because they are in the CTKArch .iso and they do everything I want.

 

Video

MPUI (MPlayer), for all video format, its open source.

Ability: rotate, mirror, responsive, lite, slow-motion/fast-foward very smooth.


Audio

Foobar, for exploring audio only with windows explorer.

Ability: quick play, lite, nice looking.


Winamp, for streaming AAC+ via bookmark, and listening all local audio.

Ability: bookmark favorite shoutcast, fast access bookmark via right click (no need main skin or playlist), just press hotkey to play, DSP, support 24 Bits playback

 

I voted both Media Player Classic & Foobar. They are very configurable & have never let me down. Using FFDShow & Haali Media Splitter with optional Real Alternative & QT Lite will provide you with superior viewing & sound system.

 

do you have a link for Ability?

 

Is no one using Aimp for audio?
Its definitely one worth checking out.

 

yes http://www.google.com/search?q=mpui

 

If you compare with MPUI.
Media Player Classic is heavy and slow load, can't rotate/mirror the video, and bad slowmotion.
