Half-Life 2 Windows Media Player Skin

I don't see this piece of HL2 media talked about a lot so I figured I'd put my cents in and provide a way to access it.

Light Description

The Half-Life 2 Windows Media Player 9 skin was released sometime in 2003 or 2004.

Inside it holds your average media player essentials such as a folder to fetch your media, a playlist feature, seeking and volume functions, tuning and of course pausing and skipping. Surprisingly as a bonus this media player contains a section where you can access beta screenshots from Half-Life 2 from early level designs to concept renders. Here you can also find a link which brings you to the Half-Life website (https://www.half-life.com/en/alyx/) and the Windows XP website as well (now defunct) (https://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/default.asp). With videos you can change the brightness, hue, contrast and etc.

I've made a demonstration video here:

It downloads like any other media skin so you should be fine, unsure about compatibility on Windows 11 but if it does work please notify me in the comments section.


Thank you for reading.
