This isn’t a recent application, although it’s been ages in development. There must be a better way, a way of handling the various audio and video formats, without having to experiment with different media players. Factor in old videos that were encoded using codecs that have been long discontinued, then it becomes a real pain to just play back your collection of movies. Every so often I wish the selection bar could be removed, as all the alternatives are available on the best click.Whilst the various media player developers attempt to convince us to use their codec to encode our home video, this means that we often have to have more than one media player installed to play every video, audio and other media, on our computer. The toolbars are customizable, so you get to pick the switches needed on the user interface. The volume slider at the end improves the playback volume to a max of 200%. The media info is listed near the bottom with the name of the document playing, playback speed, and elapsed/remaining time that on double click opens a home window to leap to a specific time. You have the usual switches for pause/resume playback, stop playback, previous and next media in the playlist, open playlist, complete display toggle, and prolonged settings for audio-video-subtitles results, as well as synchronization, repeat, and shuffle. The search bar is bound at both ends by granular rate control buttons to lower and boost the speed of playback.

The player has an exceptional selection-based interface that is strictly basic and stripped down, with command buttons placed methodically at the lower end of the display.
