After all, how does one truly know that all the connections it makes have been blocked, or that it's not sending your data for the company to exploit/sell? Yeah, perhaps monitor its outgoing connections with Wireshark or whatever, but tell me, do you *really*, *truly* wish to waste your time and energy doing this repeatedly after *every* update? No matter how good the core player remains, there's just too much slime coated around it now and it has lost my trust forever.

Yes, with even more effort you can figure out how to block the ads and disable the sidebar and so on, but my point is, *WHY SHOULD YOU NEED TO*? There comes a point where it's just not worth the effort, and that, my friends, is now.

Multiple scammy toolbars and sundry 'offers' that you have to carefully opt out of unless you want your PCs overrun with crapware/malware, plus the headache of remembering to opt out of the company's own Pandora service which IMO is nothing better than spyware.Įven after going to all this effort, you still end up with a player that shows you ads prominently in the main window now, and there's even an entire sidebar for pushing even more crap at you. The latest version (3.7.0.113) I tried came as a real shock to me. Ever since the developer left (check out his ever improving new offering called PotPlayer!) the company responsible for The KMPlayer has slowly but surely driven it into the ground in a desperate attempt to monetise it. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. It used to work fantastically, and although the settings were a real PITA to understand and configure properly, it offered a great experience OOTB as well.

I have been using The KMPlayer for *years* now on all my PCs and have unreservedly recommended it to everyone I know. They took a fantastic program and turned it into unadulterated trash all through greed. Unless there's some sort of miracle on the part of The KMPlayer's developer/developers, I'm certain I won't be going back to it, which really ticks me off, frankly. It is so refreshing because it does what it says it does, only what it says it does, and does it pretty darned well, too. So, now I am using-and am quite happy with-a program I previously shunned because of its kinda-clunky nature: VLC. I know a lot of people love PotPlayer, but I will not use programs that keep sending my online activities off to other websites for dubious uses, and that is my experience with this otherwise fine software. I may try PotPlayer again, but that has always been a connection hog as well (try running PotPlayer with a program called 'TCP View' running in the background to see how many times PotPlayer tries to connect to various websites). I've uninstalled it from all my devices because the 'updates' were such a disappointment and it was quite difficult to dig out all the slime KMPlayer put on them. But, after 'updating' to the 3.7 version, especially after 'updating' to 3.7.0.113, it is clear they are no longer updating the media player elements of the program, only the adware and connection-hogging elements.

I used to love this program and had it on all my computers/devices (all eight of them). I highly reccomend it if you're having the same problems I did. Every other one I've tried (VLC, 5KPlayer, PotPlayer, VSO Media Player) has choppy DVD playback.

This is the ONLY free media player for Windows that's played DVDs fluidly for me.

After they didn't, I went back and played scenes again, shocked to find no skipping or glitching at all. I popped in Rogue One once again, skipping around to 'problem areas', waiting for frames to lag.

Going through Google search results one last desperate time, I found a forum post with a link to this program's download page. I nearly gave up, coming to the conclusion that maybe my laptop's video card is just defective.

I've even triple-checked that all the relevant drivers are up to date. No alternative media players and tweaking with their settings has worked either. No amount of tweaking with VLC's settings has worked. I have spent quite a few hours today researching solutions for VLC media player's choppy DVD playback.
