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!

This is the ONLY player I can play HD videos on because it actually uses GPU acceleration while other players do not (for whatever reason). So, this player owns.

You can do GPU acceleration in MPC-HC, of course you have to change a few things here and there settings wise, while SPlayer seems to do it natively.

it works with my media center remote... this program is officially a keeper.

After much searching, I finally came across the article on GPU accleration using MPC-HC, on Guru3D, here is the URL to the article:

Ah I'm loving this program! Definitely a keeper :) (Y).

[perochan]

only for PC...

[GreenMartian]

from what ive seen, it gets the subtitles automatically, and very accurately too! so that you dont have to search and find yourself, manually, although that option is there as well.

From the internet? (can't really test right now at work) If so then I'm definitely keeping it.

[rajputwarrior]

yeah it downloads them automatically, its pretty good at doing it too...

That's pretty cool. I've got some tv series I wanted to re-watch (earlier seasons of Lost) with subs this time. See if it can handle them..

I'd try it, but if it's going to mess up WMP and thumbnails and such, I'm not going to bother.

it most certainly won't harm wmp but it change ur thumbnails to it own natural icon which for me has bugger up my avi to mpg thumbernails

WMP was working fine until I installed SPlayer, now WMP won't even open.

wmp works fine here. :/.

[Cy-Kill]

WMP x32/x64 fail to start, I could possibly do a repail reinstall, but since I've never done one I don't know if I'd lose all my currently installed apps & games.

[Kreuger]

I'll stick with SMPlayer.

wmp works for me but let agree on one thing it a player we won't touch untill it gets some bugs fixed out

did u try the fix https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...=592055728& offer reg wise

[Cy-Kill]

That won't help, that's for thumbnail previews, I don't really care about thumbnails, this app killed WMP on my system.

Having a look, I've been a long time user of MPC-HC as it's been perfect for video and I can put looks aside for it's functionality.

Can anyone tell me if CoreAVC will work with SPlayer? :)

[DOOOMKULTUS]

WMP works fine for me aswell.

Apart form the filetype mess it creates its good.

A little more development and user feedback and it could be great.

Wow, that's some article lol

Gonna try it out on MPC-HC though, only because the UI is what I want, basic and simple. :)

[ViperAFK]

Meh MPC-HC is better. The english in the UI is shoddy at best and there are lots of noticeable oddities like text on buttons being cut of ect.. And the UI is generally clunky and hard to use.

SPlayer is a problem, I uninstalled it using Revo Uninstaller Pro, did it's thing, then I made it do a scan, it found the registry stuff left behind, and then it did the rest of the scan and it turns out SPlayer is like a virus because it associated itself with just under 1500 files & folders altogether, it's a good thing I didn't hit delete.

[Udedenkz]

How functional is the DXVA?

[rustix]

SPlayer's GPU acceleration support is awesome

Really? When I uninstalled SPlayer (used Revo Uninstaller Pro as well) it didn't show that many associations.

Quick Lunch in option :p

[tsupersonic]

Hehe, Quick Lunch. Anyways, you don't need to install this program. If you have 7zip, just open the setup file as an archive, and extract it. Then, run Splayer :)

Not a bad little program. I used to use SMPlayer on Windows XP, but now with Win. 7, I haven't used anything but WMP, since it supports 99% of the things I play.
