5k Player interfered with a legacy app… 5k Player interfered with a legacy app that I use to transfer files from a Toppy PVR. 5k player not started by me so when attempting to uninstall it I discovered it was running in the background without my permission. 5k player appears to launch itself at startup so to uninstall you have to kill the process in task manager first. Bad practice by the developer{s). I wont be reinstalling. Shame as it plays h265 videos that VLC cant play. I will have to find another media player for those files VLC fails to play.

very easy to use program and flawless… very easy to use program and flawless features. Very helpful for home user with little or no experience in digitally based technology. I use it to archive music for personal recreational activity and watching DVD and video clips and more.

Positive reviews are fake Skipping through videos is slugging. Scrolling through the library is sluggish. You can't right click anything except a playing video to get any options. Playlists don't seem to function in any real way, the listed "next" and "previous" shortcut keys don't work at all despite the UI buttons or right click option working. It's difficult to find any useful info through google as they seem to have paid to spam the top results with 5kplayer.com results. It automatically changes all file associations to itself without any prompt. About the only thing I can't think of that it does as good or better than VLC is playing specific 10-bit files without stuttering.

Abundance of unwanted spam I gave them a 5 star review, I'm now taking it back. They will spam you with adverts for products you don't want or need, if you run their software. Don't install spam-ware.

I don't usually write reviews but I see… I don't usually write reviews but I see so many negatives ones here I felt compelled to chime in. I downloaded this player out of frustration of getting various picture quality from the various known players, and not being able to get any of them to play my 4K HDR movies. This one plays them perfectly and also plays my HD movies at the same quality so I don't have to keep adjusting setting. The only thing I can't seem to find is a frame-by-frame advance. But everything else is perfect, and the sound is amazing.
