    Can anyone recommend any good media players for windows? Ive tried loads but cannot find one that doesnt have shortfalls.

    Windows Media Player - Fugly and bloated.

    BSPlayer - What i currently use but is now being bundled with adware which is a big no no. Like how left and right keys can be used to skip back and forth a few seconds.

    VLC - Most promicing so far plays everything and would be perfect if only it had a fullscreen controls. Is there an addon for this?

    Media Player Classic - Seams tempormental (especially shortcut keys) and is there even a homepage for it?

    Second VLC player. If you sre in fullscreen just rightclick. It opens a controll window. Or enable mouse gesture.

    It does not have controls in Mozilla plugin. So when watching embedded video online I can't pause or etc. This is the only negative thing I see in VLC. Maybe there's a workaround anyone knows?
