Media Player Classic Qute Theater (MPC-QT) is a cross-platform desktop media player that reimplements the Media Player Classic Home Cinema interface using Qt and plays media through libmpv. It adds improvements over MPC-HC such as multiple playlists, seekbar video previews, online video playback via yt-dlp, and playlist searching.

Use cases

• play local video and audio files with an MPC-HC-style interface
• watch online videos with yt-dlp support
• manage multiple playlists and track playback progress per playlist
• preview video thumbnails on the seekbar
• take screenshots with custom filename templates
• queue tracks out of order without editing the playlist

When to choose

• you want the MPC-HC experience on Linux or cross-platform
• you prefer mpv's playback engine with a full GUI
• you need multiple playlists with per-playlist resume tracking

When to avoid

• you need a minimal or scriptable-only player like plain mpv
• you require every MPC-HC feature, as some are still unimplemented
• you need built-in video encoding or editing
