I just think of it as Media Player Classic or MPC. It's a "3rd gen" open source project. I've been using it since it was just MPC. Then MPC Home Cinema added features and more support. And around 2020 Clsid2 took over development when the HC team called it quits.

Huh, didn't know mpc-hc called it quits. I should move to the new thing... Though TBF I got mine bundled with k-lite media codec pack.
