https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/files/MPC-BE/Nightly Builds (from svn trunk)/1.5.0 (build 2101) beta/
While i agree beta and nightly have bugs ... But stable software has bugs too sometimes that never get fixed for months, maybe years if the devopler is slow or quits .and when it comes to Video Players a buggy Beta .Nightly or whatever its very easy to install a older version and fix so i dont see the big deal ? If nobody beta tested everything would be full of bugs right? I beta tested the player I use on Windows for many years but i switched to x64 and they dont make it in betas so i switched to stable and most of the time it updates the same version again to get the bugs out of the stable. I can see the numbers with MPC BE and most could care less about you're opinion about beta media players. But it was a nice little rant , gave me something too laugh at .
