Windows Media Player Legacy just lost its caption controls in a new Experimental build, and Microsoft wants you on the modern app instead.

    I just use VLC and uninstall everything else when I have to use Windows.

      I try to get media player classic after I install windows. At least the latest supported incarnation.

      I love VLC as a concept but the interface never gelled with me.

      Although these days I’m more into Linux. Fedora FTW

        VLC runs even better on Linux haha, but there’s a few good open source players at this point.
