Phantom Player is conceived to reproduce and organize lists of videos from a hard-drive. Some of its major features are:

• Play lists of videos in order or randomly (without repeating videos).
• Remember the last played playlist, and the videos progress.
• Organize the play order.
• Hide videos or files.
• Automatically discover new/renamed videos.
• Set a start/end time to skip the introduction/credits.
• Set the default audio/subtitle track.
• Turn off the screensaver while playing.
• Keep playing mode.
• and more...

Beside the media playing, this software will be particularly useful for:

• Reproducing videos that are coming from torrents.
• Discover the videos from a hard-drive and organize them.
