Windows Media Player Legacy just lost its caption controls in a new Experimental build, and Microsoft wants you on the modern app instead.

    mpc-hc-clsid2 is a wonderful option designed after the real legacy windows media player, not the bubbly piece of junk.

      And with a name that just rolls off the tongue, too.

        I just think of it as Media Player Classic or MPC. It’s a “3rd gen” open source project. I’ve been using it since it was just MPC. Then MPC Home Cinema added features and more support. And around 2020 Clsid2 took over development when the HC team called it quits.

          Huh, didn’t know mpc-hc called it quits. I should move to the new thing… Though TBF I got mine bundled with k-lite media codec pack.
