Download GOM Player 2.2.53.5169

Gretech has released version 2.2 of GOM Player. This free media player is developed by Gretech and is suitable for Windows XP or higher. GOM Player comes with several popular codecs, so they don’t need to be installed separately in Windows. If a file is played for which the codec is not yet available, it can be automatically found and added via the codec finder. Furthermore, support is available for playing incomplete files and of course also for subtitles. The installer comes with an AVG toolbar, but installation is optional. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

User Interface / General Features

• A new default GOM Player 2.2 Skin has been applied.
  • The skin will only be applied by default if you are doing a clean install of the software. If you overwrite your current installation, the skin you are currently using will be maintained.
• Volume can now be boosted to 200%.
  • When increasing the volume, the slider will momentarily stop at 100%.
  • The volume slider will be in the middle of the volume scroll bar when volume is set at 100%
  • The volume slider will be displayed as orange for 1% ~ 100% and as red for 101% ~ 200%
  • This is a volume boost feature, so audio may be distorted at 200% when playing some files.
  • A feature has been added to the player’s audio preferences that allows you to cap the volume setting at 100%. This feature is OFF by default
• UI Transparency Slider added, allowing you to adjust the opacity/transparency of the GOM Player User Interface
• Bookmark Feature Improved
  • A bookmark manager window has been added
  • A feature that will show bookmarks on the seek bar has been added
  • Ability to delete individual bookmarks from within the Player UI has been added.

• When using Windows 8, it is now possible to open the Windows Control Panel “Default Programs” window for GOM Player from the Player Preferences window (Preferences -> Others -> File Types)
• A small playback status icon will now appear over the GOM Player icon on the taskbar.
• When changing the window size a message reflecting the change will now be displayed.
