GOM player. No it is not the best player ever u haven't heard of. I just got use to it a long time ago. Don't really have to worry about codecs, if yes it can usually find it easily. The main reason I stick with it is because I have learned most of the shortcuts.

I have mastered the keyboard shortcuts, to the extent that I can watch anime while eating and laying on my bed and control everything with with my toes

Wow! Lol you use GOMplayer, as in from the korean GOMtv? Thats got to be the player I expected to read in this thread hah, watch bw or something haha?

My current fav which is MPC-HC, since it has the option to config it to use external codecs/filters to be able to keep them up to date...

Also...

Hmm, I had no idea of the existence of GOMtv

. I am only familiar with the stand alone media player "GOM Player" that I use for video playback.

XBMC, but I'm a mac user so half of these players don't exist for me. Never had a problem with it though.

I use mplayer with ffmpeg-mt for multicore support on arch linux. My laptop can play 1080p thanks to this and this only since I have a 1.6 core 2 duo. Trying to playback 1080p anything on one core makes my computer move slower than when my 50 year old uncle who lives in his mom's basement is told he needs to get a job.

Till yesterday I would had said MPC-HC. But today I bought a remote and MPC-HC doesn't have menus with big letters to control it from afar. So now I switched to KMPlayer (that is: KMPlayer + VSFilter + CoreAVC + Haali Media Splitter, these last two I already had them in MPC). Everything's perfect. And KMPlayer has much more options than MPC-HC. A few years ago I used to have KMP, but dropped it in favor of MPC, as the subtitle parser in KMP didn't render ASS/SSA effects properly. The thing is I never bothered to try VSFilter

. As they say... "one day everything returns"...

MPC-HC for Windows
Mplayer for Linux

So after days of searching and configuring MPC-HC, I gave up. It lags and de-syncs when I play most of my 720p files. Gonna stick with BS Player, ppl say it's bad but I have never had any problems, been using it for 4 years.

CCCP with CoreAVC + CUDA Acceleration.

Using MPC-HC.

10% CPU while seeking in 1080p files, almost no CPU usage during playback. Feels good man.

A great media center program with MPlayer at its core.

I use The KMPlayer simply because I have grown so accustomed to its keyboard shortcuts but I configured the player to use all of the CCCP codecs.

mine would be Windows Media Player with the k-lite mega codec

pipitugaboy · « **Reply #31 on:** June 24, 2010, 04:23:10 PM »

ZoomPlayer for anime.
VLC for Real movies.
Winamp for music.

Don't ask me why I watch movies and anime on 2 different players.. Just used to it >_>

Ever since the recent VLC player came out, i am now able to play 1024x720 MKV videos on this single core AMD. IT IS AWESOME GOD DAMMIT!!! Whoooooooooooooooo~

And yes i double checked. Played the 720 vid in Gom player / Media classic and the vid broke down. Played it in VLC and it's as if nothing had motherfucking happened.

That is pretty bitchin. For what started out as a student project you really can't complain with what it's been molded in to today lol.

The new VLC is surprisingly good.

SMplayer on Linux and Windows. Boxee (a fork of XBMC) if I want a 10-foot interface.

Currently PotPlayer [ just found up to date version today!!! "28/6/2010" ]

-------- Information background -------------

First off, you folks really need to read this thread : http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16595&page=5

As KMPlayer otherwise shortened from Korean Media Player, is one of my all time favorite multipurpose media player. Check out its credentials and try running it and you see why.

[ it even gotten support from klite codec, as in file associated during klite setup ]

Now, with its development stagnant and almost a year and more, which is ~~abit~~ ALOT lame-er without news updates whatsoever, im stuck with Klite mega codec [ prime choice before, followed by MPC-HC from xvid.ru ] ( Sorry vlc spokesperson, your player IS multipurpose, but the general stability and constant unanswered problems just leaves alot to be desired )

And with constant urge to use something else aside from mpc-hc [ not really a bad player, but its just too plain in terms and looks, forgive me if im dissing anyone ] let me to google beyond ALLL GODLY SKILLS ( jokingly) to this site
: http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=category&id=16

Well what do you know? I'll be damned if i've missed that site! PotPlayer, the very same developer who created KMPlayer [ which sadly sold to Pandora.TV ] created or co-created Potplayer [ talk about genius in programming ]

So in short, im now typing and replying to this thread only NOW, after lurking for soo....sooo long, its because, i felt a need to ask you folks to pass the message around and try out this awesome player.

Yes im hard selling now

, but i just wished that this media player can gain greater audience who really know want THEY want, and not what companies want. Since BakaBT is practically well known internationally, im using this as the starting point

Thus, i sincerely (corny yea i know), hope you folks give this media player a chance, and pass the message around. The more inquires, the better. But for now, all the information i could provide, via digging, is this

: http://www.dvbsupport.net/info/potplayer.html

And as always, since this is something odd and new but truely awesome like a super strong secret character , ALWAYS SCAN IT WITH VirusTotal!

Lifehacker on virustotal : http://lifehacker.com/251364/scan-your-files-online-with-virustotal

Thats all my emotions poured, hopefully someone would see this desolated piece and start trying

No, I disagree. Seeking is still as bad as ever. It works fine for .avi, .mp4 files, but for .mkv files it screws up big time.

It worked fine with the 720p mkv files I've tried, but it couldn't handle a few 1080p.
So I still use Zoom or MPC-HC for most files because it's more convenient.
