We didn't run into any problems during our testing: playback, downloading, and converting videos went smoothly and without issue.

This simplicity, more like a phone app than a desktop application, is honestly welcome, especially when compared to the complexity of VLC. It handles with easeĥKPlayer guides you from the beginning, suggesting common options and hiding everything that isn't absolutely necessary. On the other hand, subtitle options and play settings are missing. Rounding out the features are the two configuration windows, one for sound and the other for the image, allowing you to change things like brightness and color while videos are playing. If you have Apple TV, for example, you can tell 5KPlayer to play any video on the TV and vice versa (5KPlayer can also receive content from AirPlay). Do you like downloading music videos from Youtube or Dailymotion? 5KPlayer can give you a hand: paste in the video address and the application will download it in high quality and save it to your video library, with the option to convert it to MP3 or AAC so you can listen to just the audio portion.ĪirPlay integration is an interesting addition that allows you to send video and audio to any screen or speakers connected to your local network.
