    Funny you say that. I never touch media player because vlc exists but on my work pc I tried to play a video file someone sent me from their iPhone and it defaulted to media player which promptly demanded I pay 4$ for a codec. I just closed it and opened the video in vlc instead. I could understand not including codecs for some weird formats but it was a fucking iPhone video.

      Yup and iPhones use a patented codec (HEVC) by default. No care for compatibility.
