Favorite Media Player
stream:
The new VLC is surprisingly good.

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

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 :P, 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.
