who the hell still uses windows media player? I use windows and everyone else I know who uses windows never opens WMP. We all have VLC for videos, but for the movies that we all totally pay for we use Kodi/XBMC or jellyfin

They re-named it "Kodi" but a lot of the stuff in it doesn't work very well anymore

VLC is fairly common but the people who use Kodi, jellyfin, or Plex are in a very small minority compared to everyone else.

Blu-Ray is kind of a pain to deal with, but that's more of a Blu-Ray problem than a VLC problem I guess.

Correct, plus the fact that you can inject libraries for dealing with Blu-ray DRM into VLC is yet another reason why VLC is awesome.

wmp still exists, but microsoft has neglected it for years--pushing the 'app' shit instead.

on win11, you should find 'windows media player legacy' hiding in 'windows tools'.

Since the time of internet I've used Winamp for music, MPC and VLC for videos, Irfanview for images. Now I use Kodi for movies and series, Foobar2000 for music, Irfanview for images and MPC for other videos. Fuck streaming services.

No, that's because it's free.
