VLC has pretty much worked flawlessly for me under Windows 8.1.

I honestly don't see how anyone can have problems with it. It has
honestly not given me a single problem since I discovered it years ago.

This is truly a situation where the problem is the user, not the program.

I tried VLC back in the early days of Win XP and it kept crashing. I
switched to Media Player Classic (and then MPC-Home Cinema) and never looked
back. I'm sure VLC is a great program, (maybe not so much back then), but
MPC-HC hasn't given me a single problem, ever, so I'll stay with what works.


Wellllll, win 10 TP doesn't recognize FLAC; a msg pops up & say that
it doesn't know how to play the file but do I want to play it anyway!!
Hit the play & a msg comes up that it cannot play the file as the
file type is unknown.

Using win 10 TP in hyper-v in win8.1 & Windows Media Player. Will
load VLC & Foobar2000 to check sometime much later; need to get
hyper-v to recognize usb audio prior to that. In fact wonder if
hyper-v will ever recognize & pass the usb devices to the client OSs.

Wait, the linux client (opensuse 13.2) did "see" the usb audio but no
sound, which is about my usual experience with suse until an update
sometime far down the line.

Then this is "TP" really stand for Technical Preview?

May have to check out Oracle's free version & start over.
