Just be aware that the download comes with several additional programs bundled in the installer. GOM Player also supports screencast, so you can connect your computer to your television or a projector and play on a larger screen. The player is compatible with synchronous subtitles, and you can even import entire playlists using a file type such as *.pls or *.asx. The settings for tweaking video playback aren’t quite as extensive as what you’ll find in other software options, but they’re much friendlier to use when you’re just getting started with the video player.Īmong the best free video players right now, it comes with a wide variety of codecs, but it also has a searchable codec library so you can play back just about any type of clip. The software can handle 360-degree and 8K videos, as well as offers the option to play Youtube videos on your desktop. Thanks All.GOM Player offers a lot of advanced functionality for playing back videos.

I won't bother describing the other struggles VLC has with 4k video. I am gonna attach pictures of the color difference between Windows Movies & TV versus VLC. If I need another player then I am fine with that also. If you can actually make VLC play 4k UHD videos then that is also great. If you have a solution that works for Windows Movies & TV audio then that's great. So what I am asking you good people for is any solution to playing this content I have been excited to see. Again, I have searched and searched to find a solution and have come up with nothing that works. And now I have learned it struggles with the HDR color range as well. VLC has no problem with the audio side of things, but as many of you are aware it struggles with the video side of 4k content. From what I gather it's a problem with licensing and I can't find a solution to that problem so I resorted to trying VLC to play the content. It actually does a great job playing back 4k content, however, I have recently discovered that it won't play all audio codecs. I have been struggling to find a player for 4k videos and after an exhaustive searching of the Googles and several codecs that don't do shite - I have settled on simply using Windows Movies & TV. Also, I know the screen grabs I posted will look different to everyone else, but it looks amazing on my end.

And I wanted to use that program because nothing else correctly sent the HDR metadata. **SOLVED IN ELEVENTH POST** Well more of a work around for Windows Movies & TV inability to play DTS.
