What is SMPlayer?
SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters and more. SMPlayer remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave... dont worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume...
Plays almost all formats without the need to download and install any codecs yourself due to it being based on 
MPlayer. Now SMPlayer supports 
MPV as well.

Comments and Reviews
This is a good video player, just the default theme is very ugly. I changed it to MPC, and now it it very pleasant.
I first found it in Linux Mint. Then I installed it on Windows 10 x64. Most complain about its UI. They want more "swag". Not my problem. It has big buttons. Bigger is better than smaller here. It is fast. No lag when fast forwarding videos. The only thing that I dislike is that it does not keep my speed when one video ends and another one starts. Maybe there is a way. Now I need to accelerate every video manually.
One of excellent media player for windows after a decade using KMPlayer, now it's installer come with bundleware and always connected to the internet. MPV.net is second option for such simplicity. But SMplayer really good and fast too with a bunch of customization Excellent Media Players
This seems like an excellent player for Linux. Because it combines the efficient mpv backend with a proper GUI (and video players need solid graphical interface) it can be seen as 'mpv done right'.
Great frontend for MPlayer.
Highly customizable, unlike VLC.
→ Built on top of mpv which is a big plus because it is fast while simultaneously being feature rich. → Finding subtitles is a breeze, only occasionally they are out of sync, but that's not SMPlayer's fault. → I love how easily and quickly one can take perfect screenshots by pressing s and rewinding/forwarding frame per frame.
it's super light, super fast and always works well on any device and operating system
