It is the primary client player for South Korean GOM-TV, and is more popular in South Korea than any other media player. Key strengths inherited from libavcodecinclude wide ranging ability to play media files, including .flv, without needing to obtain an external codec, and the ability to play some broken media files. Both of those features are present in other projects using libavcodec like VLC and MPlayer
, but are absent from some other media software, including Windows Media Player.The word gom (곰) means "bear" in Korean, and as such GOM Player uses a bear's paw as its symbol.
