Play Single Videos: Phantom Player isn’t just for playlists—it also plays single videos:

Via Desktop Interface: Right-click the video > "Open With" > Phantom Player (or double-click if set as default player). Via Command Line: Use the command phantom-player --open-file="/path/to/file". If the video is part of a playlist, Phantom Player will automatically select the appropriate playlist.

Create Playlists from Torrents Phantom Player is ideal for managing videos from torrents while preserving data integrity for seeding. It allows to:

Add a parent directory to create a recursive playlist. Include multiple directories in one playlist. Filter out only fully downloaded videos*. Rename videos for a cleaner, more organized look. Automatically exclude non-video files. Automatically detect newly added or renamed videos. Note: Partially downloaded files must have the .part extension to be excluded.

Organize Videos on a Hard Drive: Phantom Player makes it easy to organize videos stored on a hard drive. By adding a root directory, and set it as a recursive playlist, Phantom Player is able to scan the entire drive and create a playlist containing all the videos. This allows to:

Identify all videos and their paths. Find and manage duplicate videos. Rename videos for consistency. Delete unwanted videos.
