  • mpc-hc

    Media Player Classic

  • Came here to say the same. VLC is awesome but MPC-HC has a better "out of the box" experience and play prev/next file shortcut (no need to add files to playlist). With VLC, you'd have to add all the files (in a season) then do a sort by URI and by this time most people stop listening to what I have to say. Also, MPC-HC automatically picks the aspect ratio without having to configure it. Im grateful that I watched several movies with VLC for over a decade (still do) and it taught me a lot about videos encodings and other technical details but, most people aren't that observant. They just need a simple media player that automatically picks an aspect ratio for them and can play files in order if need be. I mostly recommend MPC-HC from clsid2 on github to anyone asking me for my opinion on a media player. Just works. Has no surprises in store. clsid2 MPC-HC: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/latest/ P.S. I still use VLC but come back to MPC-HC now and then. Old habits die hard.
