SMPlayer: Free Media Player
Free, open source media player for Windows and Linux, supporting various video and audio formats with an easy-to-use interface and built-in codecs.
What is SMPlayer?
SMPlayer is a free, open source, cross-platform media player that provides a powerful multimedia experience for Windows and Linux users. Developed as a front-end for the award-winning MPlayer, SMPlayer retains all the key functionality of its base while providing an intuitive interface and a host of additional features.
Out of the box, SMPlayer is able to play just about any video or audio format thanks to the robust codec support offered by MPlayer. This means you can play everything from AVI and MKV to MP4 and FLV without needing to search online and install additional codecs. Format support covers both common and more obscure video codecs as well as DVD and Blu-ray playback.
The graphical interface has been designed to give users quick and easy control over all aspects of playback. An information panel displays key details on the current file including format, resolution, subtitles and audio tracks. Just below is a typical toolkit enabling you to adjust volume, seek, pause, skip chapters or tracks, toggle captions and more. Keyboard shortcuts give you access to most features for an even faster way to control your media.
Some of the extra features that make SMPlayer stand out include adjustable audio and video filters for fine tuning quality, YouTube integration for watching videos directly in app, support for touch gestures if using on a touchscreen device, and custom skinning so you can modify the look and feel of the player.
As an open source media solution, SMPlayer is completely free to download and use on as many computers as you like. It receives frequent updates to squash bugs and add new functionality. For those seeking a lean yet full-featured media player, SMPlayer ticks all the boxes.
