more I have been using this app through several versions. It does what’s promised, responds well and has no major flaws. An improvement would be to display the file name as an option or at least on startup. I would recommend this app!

I have updated the new version. But it logouted suddenly when I played videos in my USB drive, and all the documents disspeared. Finally, I repaired the USB drive in win 10, and got all the documents back. Maybe it does not work well using Splayer to play videos in USB drive, but otherwise it is perfect. Or maybe it is just one randon operation bug. So just update my review, anyway I have used Splayer for many years, and will continue to use it.
Developer Response Did you just drag all the documents in the folder to another place by mistake? There is no related DELETE logic within the application in the mentioned scenario. Or could you plz reproduce the issue and tell us more on https://feedback.splayer.org/

I’ve used this app for years and used to love it, but lately it has been a disaster. It closes the videofiles literally every two minutes. The program itself remains open, but it closes whatever you’re watching and only show the empty program screen. It does this to me on all my computers and with all types of video files, so to watch something that’s 40 minutes I have to reopen the video file 20 times. I’m moving on to another video player.PS, I’ve tried contacting support, but I keep ending up on a page with only characters in some asian language, not even an English flag or anything to click on...

and it's getting better.It's a really good player. You shall give it a try.One concern I have is that the tool starts to do more marketing with itself. I am concened that it will over marketing itself and eventually become another grossy freemium video player
