this app is better than the VLC player, windows player or any other player i have tried, and its fully customizable and you can skin it to make it look how you want. it rocks.

WMPC+Klite Codec Pack All you need <3

KMPlayer , i have tried a lot of players but nothing better than it

I bought a WD Live HD media player a few years back. Hooked it with my TV and have never used anything else since then.
I fear the arrival of 4k content as the player is not capable of displaying it

I use Windows Media Center for all my tv shows and movies. The remote control work like a charm. I have added codecs for mkv which is I believe k-lite some other dll's?and i used ffdraw also in the past on this windows 7 computer and everythinh works perfect. :=)

I normally watch movies on my laptop and for that purpose I use PotPlayer. It's developed by the same guy that developed the KMPlayer. So, if you're tired of the KMPlayer's adware and all the other stuff that the company that bought it bundled with it, just switch to PotPlayer. Like me.

Klite Codec Pack + KMPlayer/VLC

VLC for the win.
