Dark Cinema Player - dark-themed video player with playlist & picture tuning
A dark-themed video player for Linux with a playlist, seek bar, speed control,
frame stepping, picture adjustments and subtitle overlay.
A lightweight Linux alternative to MPC-BE style desktop players.
What it really does:
- Decodes video through a bundled FFmpeg build (H.264, HEVC, VP8/VP9, AV1, MPEG-2/4, ProRes and more)
and shows the frames in a dark UI. Video only: this release has no audio output.
- Playlist with auto-advance, seek slider, -10s/+10s jumps, frame step, speed 0.25x-4x, fullscreen.
- Live picture tuning (brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma) and external .srt/.ass/.vtt subtitles.
- Library tab scans your Videos, Downloads, Desktop and removable media for video files.
- Media Info tab lists the container and every stream reported by FFmpeg.
- Saves the current frame as a PNG into ~/Pictures.
