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.
Low rating only because of it's dependencies (still requires to install mpv to work)
Well obviously it requires mpv, “SMPlayer is a cross-platform graphical front-end for MPlayer and mpv”.
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
