Splayer: VLC alternative

[BilliShere]

http://www.splayer.org/index.en.html

SPlayer is a free, open source media player that is lightweight, well designed, and quite powerful. It promises to play every conceivable media format (including DVD?s and streaming media), and to optimize your audio and video quality to best utilize your hardware specifications. It is light on power consumption, making it ideal for laptop/travel use, is truly portable, and offers a handful of innovative features such as on-demand automatic downloads of subtitles.

This is going to be my media player classic replacement!

I thought it might be worth posting this since i didnt see any forums that mention this app. looks promising!

I don't know if it's actually based off MPC, but there are very many similarities (codec config, playlist docking).

[BilliShere]

no its not based off of mpc as far as i know.. but there are some very nice features.

The subtitle matching works suprisingly well.

Thanks for sharing!

The subtitle matching works suprisingly well.

I also like the option to load two subtitle files at the same time. You can watch a movie, with two different languages in subtitles.

Useful for me, because I watch English movies with English subtitles (especially with black actors), while my friends watch English movies with Russian subtitles.

I'm going to have to check this out.

I was quite suprised by it as well!

another thing i found quite nice was the super high volume you can set: ITS OVER 1000%! lol. actually the max is a 1000%.. you could really crack glass and eardrums with the intense bass that produces.

woo finally something that works like MPC-HC, but has a very slim interface. I like it so far.

Weirdly after I installed this, my file associations got messed up for a variety of file types (not just audio, video) even though I chose to not to associate any files with the application.

The high volume feature is quite good really

lol do you have any room left for the picture itself? :p

[Soldiers33]

i cnt stand subtitles. you either watch the movie or read the txt, you cant do both.

[Pupik]

The application divides the subtitles, so each language/file takes only one row.

So even if it uses two subtitle datas, it still takes the usual two rows.

Yes, it is. MPC-HC to be exact.

hrm i am getting a "502 Bad Gateway nginx" error when trying to access the website. i guess it means "stay with kmplayer" haha :D

[Pallab]

More than 1 million users are using it? Surprising.

Anyway, downloading it. Will give it a go and see if its better than KMPlayer.

[Cy-Kill]

I am using it, but I think it's done something to my system, WMP no longer works, WMC still works however.

Can't get the equalizer to work in SPlayer, as everytime I go to select a setting, it shuts itself.

don't associate your files through the menu to splayer, it will mess your thumbnail previews up. besides that i think it's a nice player, could substitute mpc for me. only problem left for me is, that the player crashes when i close it.

[Cy-Kill]

That's not what I said, I said WMP no longer works, and it looks like it's because of SPlayer, it [WMP] won't even start up.

[Robbie Khan Reviews]

This looks good, as a hardcore MPC-HC user for a long long time I will try this as the UI looks nice :p

i wasn't replying to your problem, just giving a hint for other users so they can avoid the trouble i've had restoring the thumbnails.

[Robbie Khan Reviews]

It's a good player but I'm too used to MPC-HC :)

[John S. Veteran]

Hardly a VLC alternative if it's only single-platform

[Daedalus]

EyeCare: take care your eyes for long time watching, health is the most important

What exactly is that supposed to mean?

[GreenMartian]

Takes 'kitchen sink' to a whole new level.. :D

[Cy-Kill]

It's a good player but I'm too used to MPC-HC :)

The only problem I currently have with MPC-HC, it doesn't seem to like DX11, so some of the settings fail to work properly, or not at all because it errors out.
