This was not an upgrade. VLC is a dynamite program but this upgrade doesn't pass muster.

Still very, VERY slow to start. I even have it installed to an SSD, still takes 5 to 8 seconds to load. Insane

I gotta give it 5 stars - and it's hard to get 5 stars from me :)

fantastic plays what others can't great for playing media through your local network, google play-store has a remote for it as well

First of all : I lake it
But .....
When I start a video, the interface is partly off screen all the time.
VLC positions its window in the lower right corner of my monitor - very annoying - I can't use it this way.

My only complaint is that is is very very slow to start. Even if I just ran it, it still starts slow. Shouldnt it still be in memory?

Good media player, with internal codecs. It should work for most.
For those saying it has trouble with some video formats, you might try disabling 'Accelerated video output (Overlay)' in video preferences.
Personally I prefer Media Player Classic - Home Cinema(along with standalone filters offered at Sourceforge) as default for most video formats, a few kept with Windows Media Player and what's left going to VLC.

Pros: You can downgrade to 3.0.5 easily
Cons: It chokes at startup ... not useful Period.
Bottom Line: This was not an upgrade. VLC is a dynamite program but this upgrade doesn't pass muster.

Pros: One of the best video players out there for sure. It now supports google chromecast - which for me is a big deal. Overall the thing is excellent - plays pretty much any video you toss at it.
Cons: Take a bit to load - a small price to pay though for a killer piece of freeware.
Bottom Line: I gotta give it 5 stars - and it's hard to get 5 stars from me :)

Takes forever to load on Windows now, doesn't play H265 worth a crap, the android version does not allow seek at all. Strange that everyone loves this player so much.

VLC is an amazing media player but it does NOT work with DXVA and therefore the cpu usage can be quite high sometimes.
A working DXVA implementation is much needed!
Yakumo reviewed v2.2.0 RC2 on Nov 24, 2014
VLC is fantastic, and really worth using since they updated the UI.
I do prefer MPC-HC's UI and that it's not using Qt5, but VLC's format support is fantastic as is its streaming support.
It looks to me from the options menu pictured in reviews that potplayer mentioned in a review below must be an unacknowledged fork of Media Player Classic / MPC-HC. I'd rather use the originals or the MPC-BE fork.
Not acknowledging their routes or giving source access would be breaking MPC's license (GPL v3) , and I'm surprised more people haven't been talking about this.
