Comments and Reviews
Instantly replaced VLC on both my personal linux and workplace windows machine as everyday multi-purpose video player. Useful UI, good customization options, useful/modern themes, very keyboard friendly.
My favorite player. Too bad it's not with us anymore.
Smooth minimal UI, ligtweight, smart playlists recognize episode sequences, downloads subtitles in two clicks. Very keyboard friendly: volume, seeking, subtitle size can be conveniently adjusted without interrupting the view with menus. The only downside - development seems to be stalled for a couple of years.
The power of MPV but with a UI so you can actually use it without having to type a bunch of complicated command line text.
So far the best Player I've seen on windows.so many features and very customizable(normalizer,smooth motion,volume amp,themes,custom hotkeys and a lot more!)
mpv with an awesome gui and integrated smooth video playback. It doesn't get better than this.
