cPlayerRT

cPlayer RT is a media player that can play your media files - video or audio - from your UPNP servers, homegroups, your local video library, your local music library, or your removable storage devices (USB keys...). Unlike the built-in Windows 8 video player, it supports external subtitles, pinning items to the home screen, locking screen orientation, and playing the next media in the current folder automatically. This is a port of cPlayer, the UPNP media player for Windows Phone.
