This player is amazing! It handles H264 with ease and detects GPU, enable acceleration and still has numerous filters to curtail to your viewing pleasure. It gives all others a run for the Best Player 2009 as it was designed in part with the help of Gabest (MPC-HC), and other leaders in open source video development. Interface blends in perfectly with Windows 7 and gives information as to the current decoder in use for varying video types. Cpu usage is on par with MPC-HC and the Hover over bar on the top of the screen gives easy one click access to audio & video control. English and Chinese languages included. Right click and scroll thru menu options till you see "English" and click if it installs to Chinese. This is a Development release, the Stable is 959. I have found no bugs myself, but wish F.F. would stop posting Beta as a Stable Release without stating it in the description. Some of us trust F.F. to put accurate info and not hose our computers. FYI

From the sPlayer site, "Exquisite beauty - Designer Raven from Milan created a set of interfaces. Beautiful skin can let you feel more comfortable while playing". uh, ok. I don't see this looking like anything special. It seems to play the few files I threw at it but the player doesn't save all of the changes I made in settings and even after selecting Engrish (it starts in Chinese) I still find some things not translated. The most important thing for me with a video player is image quality but I just didn't give it enough of a chance because of the poor translation to English. It does seem like a simpler MPC with of course that exquisite beauty and I would still rather use this over that buggy mess KMPlayer. I'll keep my eye on this but I'm not jumping ship anytime soon as this offers nothing over my other players

Pros - Flawless playing for avi (Xvid/DivX), mpeg1/2, , mp4 (h264+AAC), mov and rmvb files (better than KMplayer, MPCHC and VLC) - Portable version available - Open Source Cons - Can't play properly MKV files - It consume much more CPU than other players when it play HD files, tested it with 720p files (1024x576) in mp4 and divx containers. - It requires PS 2.0 in order to use brightness/contrast controls and filters (meaning these functions wont work with old video cards) - Can't read some characters in subtitles, ie. ¡ ¿ ñ - No support for other language than chinese and english - No customization of hotkeys - The uninstallation is only in chinese I didn't test it with videos with multiple audio streams and neither can see how it works with embedded ssa subs with tags since it have problems to play MKV files. It looks promising but need a lot of work, and although looks like the foobar of the video players it's not, its oriented to play HD content fine only in new or high end pcs. For the development stage the number version should be 0.32 instead 3.2

That's because there were too many changes to list. Btw, you can see the change list at http://translate.google....ac.splayer.org%2Flog%2F.

Where is the changelog? What's new in v3.3? Why not add the link to the english site in the description? (http://www.splayer.org/index.en.html)

I mean its nice and small and such but.. it interferes too much with the rest of my system.. after installing it no other player would play standard MPEG1 files properly anymore.. they were all sped up and caused other players to lockup.. also several various bits of texts in various dialogs like the standard windows autorun dialog box .. were suddenly in chinese.. and removing the player didnt fix it.. ended up with a reinstall so.. dont really think I'll try this player again for some time... I suspect its not QUITE capable of dealing with english based operatingsystems yet.. so.. I'll keep an eye on it and stick with KMPlayer for the time being.. Windows 7 64bit here..

Current stable build is 1021 & beta is 1026. This player rocks!!! I have had not one problem since using any of the betas and am never going to use any other player. I have used VLC, Kmplayer, Mplayer, Bsplayer, and Gom. This player simply does what others have tried and failed, It Works Flawlessly. The site has a box in the upper right corner labeled "Language" to select English. This player in no way shape or form will alter your videos or change your windows language to chinese. Warning: after installing this on windows 7 64bit asrock, my toilet backed up. I contacted Splayer and they assured me to resolve this in the next release. I uninstalled and my toilet is still plugged! You've been warned. Puff, puff, pass.

Still Awesome!! Beta build 1113 is rock solid. As of build 1082 it integrate into windows 7 superbar completely. Only disappointment is the removal of CoreAVC 1.95. WORK AROUND: Install the latest build and put a copy of CoreAVCDecoder.ax in a folder labeled "codecs" and place in Splayer program folder. Now select options, Video & Graphic, show hidden options, and select the Decoder "CoreAVC" right below "Quality Mode". I copied CoreAVCDecoder.ax from my installation folder for CoreAVC Pro 2.0. You could also use the 1.95 included in SPlayer stable 1021 and keep a copy of it for future upgrades. 2.0 is faster and more fluid in .mkv playback on 7 x86 than 1.95, Visibly so. I have researched ffmpeg versus CoreAVC and the most noticeable difference is sharpness and clarity. Ffmpeg renders as fast and is like looking threw dirty glass when compared in still shots. Why use the best player without the best decoder? I am so happy I switched to this after trying ALL the others. Keep up to date F.F. I know the current builds, why don't you? Need help? Obviously! Hire more people or ask for volunteers or RESIGN your web site to say Major Geeks if it's to much for you. Your loyal users expect accurate descriptions and build information.

SPlayer is my default video player. It´s simple, effective, looks very nice and clean and plays all of videos format. It's very stable too and light. ---------------------------------------------- SPlayer es un gran reproductor de videos, simple y con una interfaz sencilla e intuitiva. Reproduce cualquier formato de video. Es mi reproductor por defecto.

xsnred, imo vlc is better, all the kids complaining about the stability issues and slow frames per second have their own personal issue, vlc has always worked fine and has been my fav. imo vlc is easier to work with also.

Any reason to use this instead of VLC? Giving it a 5 just because I feel good today. I have been using VLC without a hitch for so long I would hate to use another program and get the same results. If someone can tell me why it is better then it might make sense to switch. Thanks.

This is an excellent player. It does subtitles way better than VLC and works well. You can't go wrong with SPlayer or Media Player Classic.

It improved a lot since v3.3, I tested v3.5 with almost all formats that claims to support and worked very well. I only found one possible bug; for some reason the fontsize varies in some subtitles embedded in MKV files with multiple subtitles http://i41.tinypic.com/1z3c7l5.jpg), this happen even with "fontsize ratio" set to 1.000 in options. The lack of forum in english where to report bugs or request features is still a big con but I've no doubt that it's in the right path to be best player in a near future (even over KM, GOM and MPC)

The interface is nice (I like the controls) but could be better, that gray tittle bar looks too flat and minimalist, also the corners could be a little rounded (like in GOM player) The lack of forum in english where to report bugs or request features is still a big con but I've no doubt that it's in the right path to be the best player in a near future (even over KM, VLC and MPC)
