NewPlayer Alternatives

NewPlayer is described as 'Media framework, which is independent of NewPipe itself. I decided to make it independent, because one of the big issues we have with the current player is that it is deeply integrated into NewPipe' and is an app in the development category. There are four alternatives to NewPlayer for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD and Self-Hosted apps. The best NewPlayer alternative is FFmpeg, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like NewPlayer are PipeWire, GStreamer and Phonon.
