UMPlayer Editor's Review

When it comes to media players, plenty of them are available with plenty of options on offer. Most people, who go with the tagline ‘Old is Gold’, use VLC Media Player while others go for lesser known Media Players. VLC is a good media player with plenty of options and ability to play wide array of formats. The media players from the others category often have to go beyond what VLC and other major players offer to really become popular. One of such lesser known media players is UMPlayer. It is an emerging media player which is open source and looks to be promising. So, let’s dig deeper into the features and explore functions it offers.

Almost all media players have similar sort of system requirements in UMPlayer is no different. It runs on almost every PC on which other players run. It is cross platform compatible, that is, it runs perfectly on Linux, Windows and Mac OS/X. Installing it is quite easy, but internet connectivity is required. Furthermore, it was quick to get installed and presented no troubles at all, neither during downloading not during installation.

UMPlayer’s interface is neat and clean yet offers a fresh look and feel to the eyes. When compared with that of VLC’s, it clearly appeals to the eyes as VLC’s interface looks to be a little dated now. All the major options and features are intelligently set at below the menu bar. It’s pretty basic, but still offers plenty of options without doing much. In addition to it, the support for skins allows it to be modified according to user’s choice; it doesn’t have large skin base, so finding the perfect one can be tedious at times.

It’s the features it boasts that has made it so popular so quickly. It is loaded with more than 270 codecs which allows it to play almost any format available under the sun. Another unique thing offered by it is the built-in online video search and stream. It doesn’t stop there; it has Shout cast integrated with it which fetches and plays music from Radio stations from all over the globe. Some stations, however, failed to play properly. Online video search worked flawlessly, but playing video playback wasn’t fluent. Firstly it took a lot of time to load even smallest of the videos, and when it started; it resulted in a Start and Stop situation. It’s another feature is subtitle search on the fly. It searches the database of opensubtitles.org and downloads the best matching subtitle. Overall, UMPlayer offers plenty, but almost one of the offered stuff works perfectly.

Positive Points:
 -    Refreshing new interface with ability to change skins.
 -    Built-in subtitle downloader, Shoutcast and online video search support.
 -    Leaves very little footprint on system’s resources.

Negative Points:
 -    No offline installer available.
 -    Most of the features are flawed.
 -    Not a huge user base.

Conclusion:
UMPlayer Media Player boasts an excellent interface and a few unique and exciting features. It can play almost any format on earth, but many players can do that. It has quite a few bugs that need to be solved for it to get close to anywhere near VLC or KMPlayer. Those who like to experiment with the software they install and use can certainly give it a go, but it is not a replacement for KMPlayer or veteran VLC Media Player.

Rating: 3/5
