Celluloid (formerly GNOME MPV) is a simple GTK4 frontend for the mpv media player, using libmpv's client API for playback. It offers a native GNOME interface with playlist management, mpv config compatibility, MPRIS support, and Wayland support.

Use cases

  • play videos with a simple GTK gui on linux
  • use mpv with a graphical interface
  • manage playlists with drag and drop
  • integrate mpv with GNOME desktop via MPRIS
  • play audio and video files on wayland
  • use mpv config files with a gui player

When to choose

  • you want mpv's playback power with an easy-to-use GUI
  • you use GNOME or a Wayland desktop and want native integration
  • you want a lightweight player that reads mpv.conf directly

When to avoid

  • you prefer mpv's minimal keyboard-driven interface
  • you need a player on Windows or macOS (primarily Linux/GNOME focused)
  • you need advanced media library or transcoding features
