And jeez what happened to it anyways? It actually used to be pretty decent back in the 98/XP/7 days :(

    Not Media Player, but Windows Movie and TV Player plays video files clearer with better hue and color than any other player paid or open source, and I’ve tried them all. You can’t adjust anything in it, if the subtitles are off you’re fucked and gotta go back to VLC, but the look of the default video processing in the WMT app is hands down the best I’ve ever seen. I’d guess out of all the different types of codecs there are about .5% that aren’t compatible with it, but it’s my app of choice.

        couldn’t play “IP” “HLG” 2160p video’s acceptably in windows with anything but kodi which is really cumbersome (vlc included), looked up mpv, installed it, it’s working like a charm, thanks for the tip

      I just use the photos app. It does everything I’ve tried just as well as the movie app, and it actually works. I find it funny that the photo app is better than the video app at playing videos.
