Online TV Player 4.96

Online TV Player is an Internet TV and Radio streaming player. It supports a large variety of streaming formats and has included a list of hundreds of TV and Radio stations.

The interface is nice and customizable; you can choose either one of the existing skins, or you can download more skins from the producer's Web site. You can play, pause and stop playing a TV or Radio station and you can change the volume. A 'Search' option is included and you can also add manually a station's URL.

All TV stations can be viewed in original size, double size, fit to window or full screen. The list of channels can be seen on the right side of the program window displayed into categories: Favorites, TV stations and Radio stations.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: This is not a very stable application: when testing, several errors occurred claiming invalid floating point operations. Besides, after playing a TV or Radio station, in order to play a new radio or TV station, you need to double click it in the list. If you only hit 'Stop', then click on another station in the list and hit 'Play', the program will play the previous station and I find it a little bit annoying. The list of TV and Radio stations is kind of outdated.

In conclusion: The program is not a stand alone player; and besides the fact that it needs other to players to be installed in order for it to work, it still has lots of flaws.
