  • celluloid

    A simple GTK+ frontend for mpv (by celluloid-player)

  • gnome-mpv was abandoned and forked into Celluloid: https://github.com/celluloid-player/celluloid

  • LibVLCSharp

    Cross-platform .NET/Mono bindings for LibVLC

  • I'd just like to point out the fact that the VLC media player has, IMO, the best feature of any video player on Linux. Namely, the "Enqueue items into playlist in one instance mode." This basically gives me a music queue for all of my music videos that I pulled from iTunes back in the day. Great feature! Thanks to the guys (and gals I assume; they don't have an "About us" page). Take my upvote and (more importantly) my contribution! You can contribute here: https://www.videolan.org/

  • mpv

    🎥 Command line video player

  • gnome-mpv

  • Anime4K

    A High-Quality Real Time Upscaler for Anime Video

  • Also, MPV can have shader (I don't know if VLC can) so I can use something like Anime4K to upscale the video, mostly anime, and fun fact, you can use MPV as a YouTube player and upscale it too

  • mpvacious

    🍜 Adds mpv keybindings to create Anki cards from movies and TV shows.

  • I use mpv because you can use mpvacious for language study. I also use custom scripts to locate subtitles automatically in non-trivial folder structures.

  • I tested out 5 of the best third party macOS video players to see how they compare in HDR support for the new MacBook Pros. Infuse and Movist Pro seem to be the only ones capable of HDR playback at the moment, with IINA being the worse causing the video to loose detail and being washed out.
