I stopped at MPC-BE, which is amazing and it works the way I want it out of the box.įor me PotPlayer was once the best, but now it’s starting to become trash and this is only the beginning – in a few years it will get much worse. In the end I got pissed off and started looking for something else. I also hate how by default it resize to the video’s size that it’s playing, so I have to manually go into settings and set it to custom resolution so it doesn’t resize automatically, which really annoys me.Īlso there are a lot of other settings I have to make each time I install it to make it work the way I want to. At one point the default theme was something like a tablet-UI with huge buttons. ![]() They started experimenting with ugly skins, changed the grey/blue theme for black/yellow which looks disgusting and the UI layout got horrible. But now it’s owned by Daum/Kakao and the last few years haven’t been good. At first PotPlayer was a solo project of the developer I think and wasn’t owned by any company. I'm aware there are many open source multimedia tools that will play most audio and video formats on Linux these days but many people have come to like Windows Media player over the years. At first I loved it, before I was using KMPlayer by the same developer, but it got sold to Pandora TV and got ruined. Wine Review published a guide about setting up Windows Media Player 9 & 10 on Linux with Wine. PotPlayer was good when it first appeared around 2013 I think. Now You: Which media player do you use predominantly? (via Deskmodder) The renderer is limited to hardware decoding, subtitles, and Pan&Scan currently only. Other improvements include keybinding setup improvements, the removal of the reliance of connecting to the Internet to figure out the supported languages of OpenSubtitles/SubDB subtitle providers, and basic support for MPC Video Renderer. PG5 subtitle positioning was improved in version 1.9.0 of the media player, and subtitle texture size was optimized which should improve performance on multi-display devices and may also reduce GPU memory usage. The developers added a manual search option to the subtitle download results window useful if lots of results are returned. Subtitles have received several improvements in the new version next to that. MPC users who play videos that are inside archives may have noticed that the player did not support RAR5 playback in previous versions this changes with today's release as RAR5 playback of media files is now supported officially (uncompressed only).Īnother new feature introduces a vertical alignment option for videos this adjusts black bars that may be displayed depending on media player window size and video resolution so that they are only displayed below the video and not at the top as well. Users who dislike it can disable it by setting ModernSeekbar to False on the same page. The height of the bar can be adjusted under View > Options > Advanced by modifying the "ModernSeekbarHeight" value there. The dark theme features a "more modern looking" seekbar. The View option acts as a toggle that allows users to switch between the dark and default theme of the media player. A manual restart of the program is required before the new theme is loaded. It is not enabled by default but users of the application may enable it under View > Dark Theme. One of the big new features is the integrated dark theme. If you prefer MPV, check out MPV Easy Player or Celluloid. Tip: check out MPC Black Cinema Edition as well. ![]() The last major release of Media Player Classic Home Cinema dates back to 2018 rumors that MPC-HC would not be supported anymore came up in 2017 but that was not the case after all. The new version introduces several new features and improvements to the media player. The built-in update checker, if enabled, should inform users about the new version as well.

Overall, MusicBee is an excellent alternative to Microsoft's WMP. ![]() With the Auto-DJ function, it's possible to discover and create playlists based on your listening preferences. MusicBee comes with a CD ripper/burner, which is useful if you need to import music or archive to disc. MusicBee's rich selection of audio options includes extensive data tagging, a podcast directory, an audio format converter, the ability to stream music from internet radio stations, and more. Another nice feature about the MusicBee GUI is that you can have multiple screens via menu tabs. The left pane gives you a quick way to choose music, podcasts, audiobooks, and radio. The interface is user-friendly and, in some ways, it feels similar to Windows Media Player. If you're looking for a lightweight music player and don't need video features, MusicBee has an impressive tally of audio-based tools. Not suitable for large music collections.
