DearMob Expands 5KPlayer for Windows 10 Features to Succeed Windows Media Center


DearMob. Inc expands 5KPlayer features on Windows 10 to succeed the retired Windows Media Center. Augmented in this improvement is the DVD playback function, download and play of 4K 8K UHD media files and video streaming support from iPhone (News - Alert)/iPad/iPod to Windows and from PC to Apple TV/8K display.

5KPlayer approaches users this time with its new portfolio as a free Windows Media Center alternative to supply basic support for DVD playback, 4K 8K UHD video downloading and AirPlay (News - Alert) streaming from and to Windows. DearMob, the promising mobile software provider, sharpens 5KPlayer to fully bolster Microsoft new mission "GigJam" proposed in WPC 2015. Footed on previous success on Windows 7 and Windows 8, 5KPlayer showcases its proficiency again to relay Windows Media Center major utilities.

DVD playback demand on daily basis is cut away from users with the demise of Windows Media Center. Despite the promise from Microsoft (News - Alert) official that a DVD option will be supplied, sometime in 2015, the promise remains yet to fulfill. For 5KPlayer, DVD video play on Windows 10 is a major business but for Microsoft as a whole, only a market branch under risk analysis.

In terms of 8k resolution on Windows 10, which 5KPlayer deems to be the upcoming majority, has received all-round support from this freeware including 8K video download, playing and streaming. With Windows 10 announcement of native support for 8K, 5KPlayer spearheads to be the first mature response to Quad UHD videos.



Before 5KPlayer unveils AirPlay streaming from Windows 10, the connection between Windows Media Center and extender devices were tethered to HDMI ports. The introduction of AirPlay-based video and music streaming from and to Windows 10 devices surpassed the physical restrictions to render streaming quality superior to WMC, with AirPlay function climbing to the NO.1 frequency of usage in seasonal add-up.

A resilient response to Windows 10 new missions proposed on WPC 2015 brings about reasonable expectation for this Windows Media Center alternative, given that its forerunner has suspended technical upgrades since 2012.


Windows 10 cross-platform continuity is better rendered with 5KPlayer video music AirPlay. On WPC 2015, the term "GigJam" is put forward to define the cross-platform continuity among Windows 10 PC, Xbox One and other Windows devices. With game streaming from Xbox to Windows 10 made possible with a small USB cable, video music streaming is still impossible without 5KPlayer installed on a Windows 10 PC.

5KPlayer as a professional media player for Windows 10 is keen on two appointments: For one, to blend the old-but-good utility of Windows Media Player that Microsoft no longer works on for decreased profit; for another, to innovate the state-of-the-art functions that Windows 10 keeps updating on OS level, but it can do on software level.
