I'm using Zoom player with MP now... and things are working OK. The issue I had with some files not working with external players was due to bad characters in the folder/file names not launching properly, so that's sorted too.
I noticed the same thing. When playing this '24' TV show, I noticed that the black color was washed out compared to another media player such as VLC, WMP, etc. Can anyone explain to me why this happen. I know its codec... but how can they allow it happen? Will it be fixed in the future?
