SMPlayer is a free, open-source graphical media player for Windows, Linux, and macOS that serves as a GUI frontend for MPlayer (and optionally mpv). It plays virtually all audio and video formats with built-in codecs, remembers playback settings per file, and supports YouTube playback, subtitle downloading, skins, and Chromecast casting.
Use cases
- play videos in all formats without installing codec packs
- resume a movie exactly where I left off with the same audio and subtitle settings
- play YouTube videos in a desktop media player
- automatically find and download subtitles for a movie
- cast local videos or online streams to a Chromecast
- send video to a second screen or TV while controlling playback from my computer
- use a touch-friendly tablet mode for watching videos on a 2-in-1 laptop
- adjust playback speed, audio delay, and video equalizer while watching
When to choose
- you want a free cross-platform desktop player that plays everything out of the box
- you need per-file playback memory (resume position, tracks, volume, subtitles)
- you want YouTube playback and subtitle search built into a desktop player
- you prefer a full-featured GUI over command-line players like MPlayer or mpv
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight or minimal player without a full GUI
- you want a modern media library or streaming service integration
- you need playback on mobile or web platforms
- you require a player with active large-scale community development
