   Reviewing 2.9.4.1436 (Nov 7, 2009)

   Holy crap!
   Have used this app for years and now it disappointed me too much with his politics. I always uncheck various toolbars while installing programs, but one day I found ask.com toolbar, search engine, homepage on my browsers and can't understand how the hell it had been installed. Today I tried to reinstall the player and found again ask.com toolbars. It surprised me. I can't believe that I have passed this agreement and do not uncheck the boxes. I tried to reinstall again and again and the setup process is different every time.
   After installation process I press 'Next' and sometimes there is an ask.com agreement window before the finish, sometimes it isn't, but toolbars still being installed. Sometimes after installation process after pressing 'Next' you see drop through window for a miliseconds and then finish window. Then if you click 'Back', you will see an agreement window that you have passed supposedly twice clicking 'Next' before (it's a PandoraTV trick). But other times there is no an agreement windows after installation process and after clicking back at finish window, but TOOLBAR STILL ARE INSTALLING. That's the SWINDLE! It' a shame.
   EPIC FAIL. TOTAL UNRESPECT. Buy buy, cheaters.

   It was a solid player until 2.9.3.14.28, then that **@ing company Pandora TV gradually ruined this app. it became more an more unstable, it have problems to associate/dissociate file types, it crash often playing HD files, it have focus problems when starts...
   The only good thing in v2.9.4 is the update of some codecs but nothing more.
   It was such a great program and had so many features pending like internal full support for ssa subs, ability to change font size in subs, improve support for TV and HDTV, improve the file navigator... but now is constantly worsening, with each version you get new bugs, and although is optional the installer comes with a crappy toolbar.
   
   From wikipedia:
   In March 2008 development has been taken over by Pandora TV, a Korean streaming video company. Since then, development has been slow – the team appears to consist of just one individual.
   
   This program as we know it is dead. A shame.

   .1434 has been pretty solid for me. This .1436 version just locks up all the time, still playing but doesn't accept mouse or keyboard input and Windows says it is not responding. Is .1436 a release or beta? has to loose 2 stars for this anyway.

   I use a mix of this nd VLC. for some things (some films with subtitles) VLC is better, for others films with subs, KMplayer wins.
   I use KMplayer a little more often though because I find it loads quicker and plays more formats without oddities - VLC does some strange things with some .mov movies by opening 2 windows etc.
   
   On the whole, I think VLC and KMplayer are pretty comparable in terms of features, with KMplayer having just a few more (or at least making them more easily found)
   
   It didn't install any additional stuff on my machine (no ask toolbar).
   
   KMplayer is one of many feature rich media players out there, I personally really like it. you might too, if not, there are plenty others to choose from.
