Lightweight Video Player - Fast Minimalist Multi-Codec Media Player

ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot

Lightweight Video Player is a clean, fast-starting desktop video player for
Linux built on FFmpeg/libavcodec (PyAV) and QtMultimedia. A lightweight
Linux alternative to Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) for
distraction-free local video playback, keyboard-driven navigation, and
automatic playback position resume, it plays common containers and codecs
out of the box with low UI overhead.

Key Features:
- Streamlined Multi-Codec Playback: Plays MP4, MKV, WebM, AVI, MOV, MPEG,
TS, and audio files through bundled libavformat/libavcodec with low-latency
nearest/fast scaling and QtMultimedia stereo audio output.
- Automatic Position Resume: Remembers your last playback timestamp per file
in user config storage and resumes automatically when reopening unfinished
videos.
- Keyboard-Driven Classic Controls: Space to play/pause, Left/Right arrows
for 5-second seeks, Up/Down for volume, Period (.) for single-frame step,
M to mute, and F / F11 / double-click for fullscreen.
- Compact Folder Playlist: Automatically indexes videos in ~/Videos with
instant double-click switching and multi-track audio selection.
