XBMC is being re-branded to Kodi.
Yeah, but everyone knows it’ll stay XBMC forever… In our hearts.
Im tryin to download this, trying to play show box and need a good video player to do it. And ideas. Tia.
Im on my android phone btw.
XBMC/Kodi
Potplayer!
I put Foobar2000 (because it’s fantastic for music), but Potplayer is the best video player I’ve ever used, hands down.
Am I the only one still using GOM player??
Raspbmc is not a Mediaplayer software, its a Distribution based on Debian with included XBMC, so i dont think it fits in this list.
Stephan, I agree. Raspbmc votes should be counted under XBMC.
well I voted for Raspbmc…. But I agree, it shouldn’t be there. Xbmc/Kodi is the thing, Raspbmc is just a distribution of Xbmc/Kodi for Raspberry Pi.
no mplayer? that’s a shame. it plays almost everything, and is much lighter than most everything on this list.
XBMC FTW. Been a user for years, and I have tried everything from XBMC to Linux Media Centre (a home automation system/media centre), and XBMC wins every time.
XBMC/Kodi for sure. It’s only weakness is the lack of an ‘add-on’ to access Netflix in a stable manner. VLC is pretty sweet especially if you’re running a Plex server, but does anybody know what has happened to the VLC iOS app?
WHAT? No love for Media Player Classic Home Cinema?
