Emmett Tashoots, nice find! It does indeed have VideoLAN files in the /plugins subfolder of the installation, from version 2.2.7.0, i kinda wondered initially why it shared the same Deinterlace modes like VLC has but i disregarded it. So it's basically a crippled version of a older VLC player. Good to know.

Installation went fine, registration not so much, as i had to dig in the Windows Registry first to get to the registration page.

As already mentioned, todays offer is pretty much bare bones, with only very basic options one can expect.

Compared to the competition it lacks in some more advanced settings overall, like render mode options, region specific settings, more audio settings (like a switch for analog and digital), subtitle options (like font type, placement, size, color etc.), skinning (why not be able customize the look of it), power options (like a battery saver or reminder) or simple file associations.

I tried a few files and they all played fine. So for basic needs, it's a ok player for me.

The only real annoyance i found was when there is no internet access, the splash screen stayed frozen in the middle of the screen, until i allowed it to have access, which means it kinda needs internet access at the start every time.

The Blu-ray video discs you rent or buy have pretty heavy DRM. To play them using Windows, rather than a stand-alone Blu-ray player, you need software that can handle that DRM: either a licensed player, e.g. PowerDVD Ultra, or something like the AnyMP4 Blu-ray Player. In order to use something like VLC, or any of the other, many video players available, you have to use something like DVDFab's Passkey to remove the DRM first. MakeMKV is a free alternative, copying the video to a MKV file on your hard drive, though you'll lose much of the Blu-ray's structure, e.g. menus & features, if that matters to you.

AnyMP4 Blu-ray Player lets you adjust some video attributes like hue & gamma etc., which may be useful for stuff like video you shot with your cell phone or drone, but for DVD & Blu-ray video that's already been mastered by real pros, not so much. IMHO the devs would be better off adding features to give you a better picture, particularly on a big screen, e.g. LAVFilters & madVR. PowerDVD Ultra 18 includes those sort of audio & video enhancements, plus added extra features/capabilities, & can occasionally be found on sale for $30-$40. Leawo's Blu-ray player is free. So FWIW I think promoting features enhancing rather than altering the video would make AnyMP4 Blu-ray Player more competitive.

Some Blu-ray & DVD video discs have a type of DRM called Cinavia. If you only play the original discs, no problem. If you try to play a backup disc you burned, or the video from a hard drive, a licensed player like PowerDVD will detect Cinavia & playback will fail, so there are cases when even though someone bought PowerDVD Ultra, they still need something like AnyMP4 Blu-ray Player. AnyDVDHD has one method to block CInavia -- DVDFab can sometimes replace the audio with a sanitized version, getting rid of Cinavia entirely.

Blu-ray video discs are also complicated... They use Java code for DRM, menus, & features. Cyberlink pays license fees to the Blu-ray folks so PowerDVD Ultra works with with the DRM rather than bypassing it, and all of that Java-based stuff works. With unlicensed players it often will not. To play a Blu-ray video disc the player has to know which playlist to play -- there may be 100+, & it may even be even be virtual, created on the fly during playback -- and that playlist may list several individual video files that patched together form the movie. Any player you want to use has to understand that structure -- very many will not -- although you can use something like MakeMKV or tsMuxeR [also free, but you need the correct playlist beforehand] to copy the video to a single file.

Note that if you go the MKV route subtitles will be more compatible if you use something like SubtitleEdit to OCR them to a .srt file. tsMuxeR OTOH can give you a Blu-ray structure playable on most any Blu-ray player, including stand-alone, with the audio, video, & subs in a single .m2ts file that's widely compatible with players -- if the player doesn't understand Blu-ray, just open that .m2ts file.

juqa buqa, well, it supports encrypted Blu-ray and DVD playback out of the box but nothing you can't fix in VLC with a one-time setup. Other than that VLC has an immense amount of options (let's not forget the Addons) compared to todays offer, which is more or less a simple casual player, while VLC can get complicated rather quickly, if one chooses so.
