Zoom Player : Steam Edition Reviews

This is the best media player on Windows by far. It supports IPTV through playlists and also through Xtreme Codes. There is also support for an EPG grid layout view, like you would get on your television. In addition, Zoom supports: Plex, Emby and Jellyfin media shares as of the latest beta. So if you're on windows you don't need to use software from either of them, just login to you or your friends server and you can view all the content that they have shared through Zoom!!!! The codec support is also amazing. I have yet to find any media that won't play on Zoom. Even 4K video files and 4K streaming works flawlessly. The default settings are not for everybody and by default it behaves a little different from VLC. However, as Zoom is very customisable, you can tweak the settings for it to work just like VLC. I advise disabling the single click primary mouse function and changing the double click primary mouse function to go into full screen mode (just like VLC). I'd also advise setting the space bar function to pause the video (again just like VLC). The developer of Zoom appears to be very active as well and is always around for support. He's helped me personally with issues that I have had with Zoom, so do post in the discussion forum here on Steam. All in all, if you're after a media player that: plays content better than VLC, has full IPTV support and also supports the 3 most popular media sharing platforms (Plex, Jellyfin and Emby); then Zoom is definitely for you. Give the demo a try.
