Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) Version Updates

Not all snaps are terrible lol. Well, this one is. I might have a look at Kodi, thanks.

 

For the time being being anyway (if they can adapt it to Linux at all) - MPC-HC would be a fantastic boon for that O/S system

 

I ran MPC on Windows back in the day, but TBH it doesn't do anything SMPlayer doesn't or can't. It would be nice as an option though.
