Media Player Classic Black Edition

#1 Post by Userfriendly »

Media Player Classic Black Edition is a fork of Media Player Classic Home Cinema. The most noticeable change is the dark toolbar(color customizable). It also has a bunch of other additional features:
Seekbar video preview thumbnails.
'Flybar' shows window caption controls when using the view without titlebar/window borders.
Extra video/audio decoders like opus, wavpack, monkey audio, TTA, musepack, bink and various screen recorder codecs.
Ability to parse and stream Youtube videos via 'youtube.com/watch?v='urls (I like to drag and drop links into player window or use Firefox Launchy addon)
Supports displaying of album art for mp3, flac, and m4a.
Many more! Some changes and fixes are shared between MPC-HC and MPC-BE.

I like it. Don't see a difference (MPC-HC), but I like it.
