3.5 out of 5

If you have ever used VLC then head on over to their homepage and get the latest version. They’ve added a ton of features and cleaned it up a bit (it’s a lot more friendly feeling). I think it’s well worth updating: VLC media player

If you’ve never used it, you should. This player will play almost anything without the need for codecs. Also, and maybe more importantly, it can act as a server and client to stream and receive network streams.

This is THE best crossplatform media player. (Win, osX, linux, etc).
