Hello, what is the best media player?
No ones ever going to agree on whats the 'best'. We can only give our opinions to help you decide on what to use.
I personally like PotPlayer.
Things I like:
1.) It has a feature that shows thumbnails when hovering over the timeline (like how youtube works) and the main reason why I switched from VLC Player.
2.) Borderless option. I don't like all the clutter around video players and with this feature turned on, all I see is a floating video that snaps to the edge of my monitor. The controls show up when I hover over the playing video. I also turned on 'Touch Controls' so there is less clutter on hover, larger buttons and the interface shows on top of the playing video.
3.) Playback speed controls (.5 - 2.0) (I would think most do nowdays, but maybe not.).
4.) Exports settings to a .reg for easy importing.
5.) Plays all files I throw at it (with the OpenCodec Pack it downloads)
6.) It's free.
Things I don't like:
1.) The default Icons it uses for media types. It has a different icon color for every different file extension (.mkv, .mp4, .mp3 etc). I created my own icon pack (.dll) which uses their main icon and assigned it to all video file extensions so now all videos have one icon color.
