Hi, this is my first post here. Recently, I've written a media player in Visual Basic.Net. It is special because it uses a library which I wrote myself, instead of relying on the Windows Media Player library, which sucks. Most of all, it is open source.
It is currently in 0.0.0.3 but I've already started the development of 0.0.0.4.
Also, it has two completely different versions of it, one is FL Player and another one is FL Player Aero.
FL Player Aero has more glass and can only be run on Vista / 7.

Requirements :
OS : Xp/Vista/7(Vista/7 For FL Player Aero)
.NET Framework : 4.0 or above

Features :
Playback :
-Supports dragging file over icon(play the file dragged over the application's icon)
-Play by codec(plays the file according to the codec installed in your computer)
-Supports full screen(video only)
-Supports small sized mode(during audio playback)
-Supports repeat after playback

GUI(Graphical User Interface)
-User friendly
-Windows Classic(95/98/2k/ME) style buttons(author is old-school Windows user)
-Supports keyboard shortcuts
-Shows playback device, status, etc during the playback

Application
-Open source(licensed under the GNU General Public License)
-Display change log and release notes

Documentation
-Documents are written in plain text files

Coming soon :
-Single window only(only plays files on a single FL Player window)
-Bug fixes and more
-Faster library

You must be using Windows Vista/7.

Anyways, I've rewritten the library from scratch and it fixed that problem.

As for your problem about the complicated GUI, that 'textboxes' is actually the information about the current file playing and what device(driver) it is using.

In 0.0.0.4, I'll add a checkbox in the preferences to toggle the 'textboxes' visibility.
