MARSVIOLET Yep. Idiotic. Adobe's installers are garbage. Imagine the money and resources they could save by not even having installers. Just drag a folder from a disk image. Done. Instead we get bad comedy that never ends.

SHOCK J This app (consistent with most Adobe apps) has as awful update system. It never automatically detects when a new version is available and you can't download the updater. If you go to Adobe's site, no updater is available for download, it just launches the installed version. I'm stuck with version 1.1 until by some magic the application miraculously discovers that a new version is available. Totally lame.

PHOTEK 'video is not available in your country' ?????.. I live in the UK... its not like I live half way up a tree in Moldovina... apps like this are half the reason we have such rampant piracy... if I want to watch MTV Cribs in the UK... but cant watch it on Adobe Media Player because its blocked.... what is the other option?...

NEO979 The other option is to live in the US, where we often get first crack at products, TV shows, and movies... and the only downside is that we have no civil liberties anymore thanks to a corrupt administration that spies on its own citizens and tortures others... also there's the endangered economy caused in part by runaway inflation on gas and food prices, the primary blame for a frivolous oil war we can't escape from, and the high unemployment rates coupled with weaker employee protection laws than many third-world countries have. But hey, it's a small price to pay for MTV! Oh, wait, no it's not. Count your blessings, man. :)

G7 Come on. It could be worse. Here in Poland we don't have even access to iTunes Music Store. We're being discriminated by Apple, you are being discriminated by Adobe ;)

GARY30 This application sneaked it's way onto my system at some point, maybe along with Adobe Air which is another story. Without intervention it hijacked my application handling preferences for .flv files and had it not done so I imagine I would have weeded it out eventually. I use yFlicks for .flv files thankyouverymuch and it has lots of preferences and controls. As near as I can tell Adobe Media Player has just the basics. Plus it takes a long time to load and once loaded and playing a movie, it commands nearly 70% of CPU cycles compared to about 35% with yFlicks. I can't think of a single redeeming feature of this program except that is looks nice. I guess that deserves one star.

MARSVIOLET Shameful piece of "Mac" software. Bears no resemblance in behavior or appearance to proper OS X applications and is a laughable puzzle to use. If this is the direction Adobe's Creative Suite is headed, sell your stock now. Adobe Media Player illustrates perfectly why Flash/Adobe AIR is the worst possible software development platform known to man, woman or child.

KILLER KLOWN KAR This came with CS4, is on my disc and I've never launched it. However, if this uses Adobe Air, be forewarned! Installing Air to run TweetDeck made my perfectly stable Mac into a total mess. Not to mention Firefox crashing every 3 minutes, threads run wild, memory being eaten alive, and other shenanigans. Uninstalling Air and my Mac is back to it's normal "how long as it been since I restarted" self.

ILGAZ There is no way that it can crash Firefox. It is the point of multi tasking, multi user operating system which Apple spent years to develop. I don't know if you don't have any clue or simply part of a campaign to bad mouth Adobe air but please, stop suggesting ridicolous things like ordinary application crashing other application. Besides "hacks" or "input managers", there is NO software capable of doing such thing.

KILLER KLOWN KAR Really? I guess Firefox quitting when a link in a third party app was clicked and now that Air is uninstalled it doesn't just happened by accident? I don't really care what you think or what you say douche. I only reported my experiences after installing Air. end of story.

MARSVIOLET If Air installs a browser plug-in of some sort it absolutely could crash the whole browser, just as Flash can.

JAMUS Other than being a quick and easy player for offline Flash video, I really do not see this being very useful. However, if you need offline/downloaded Flash video files to play in a cross-platform player, this is your bet.

SCHMELDING Considering Adobe's propensity to create bloatware, I will not be downloading this.

ZOKDOK Content would also be nice, and some other then the current 'not available' and 'expired' content I'm getting here. Expired even with more then 20 days to go... Most likely a US only app again.

DERHATO When I finally received my CS4 disks not too long ago I was absolutely thrilled to get my hands on the newest Flash/Photoshop/Dreamweaver (considering that i gave CS3 a miss). I popped the DVD into my mac and clicked the install all option. 30 minutes later I had the apps on my computer, and decided to browse my folder of downloaded youtube FLVs out of boredom and behold! - some application, Adobe Media Player, had re-associated itself with my downloaded files! Being a patient man, I gave this app a chance to show off what it can do over VLC. I clicked a 3 min FLV file and waited...waited some more...couple minutes now...wait...yep, it froze (my gen.-1 macbook doesn't normally do this...). Wow Adobe, a crappy bundled application that reassigns file associations and doesn't even launch (tried several times, with different FLV files, and still hangs at launch). How original.
