From a technical and visual point of view, unfortunately the best media player for several years. But when the manufacturer was caught with adware, I made myself out of the dust.
I also find it questionable that Videohelp praises the player as "free and good".
Because it is not. It is a spyware. Therefore only 2 points from me
