LinuxPlayer

LinuxPlayer is an open-source video player for Linux, powered by libmpv. Play local video files in a clean window with controls that hide during playback. Open a file from the app or drag it into the window.

Playback

• Seek, change playback speed, and choose audio or subtitle tracks.
• Resume a video, switch to fullscreen, or use the compact mini-player.
• Use keyboard shortcuts; press F1 in the app to see them.

Canvas previews

Preview common or custom aspect ratios, then choose Fit or Fill. This changes only the playback view; it does not edit or export the video file.

Install

On an amd64 Linux system with snapd, run:

sudo snap install linuxplayer

Open LinuxPlayer from the app menu or run snap run linuxplayer.

To play videos from a removable drive, connect the optional interface:

sudo snap connect linuxplayer:removable-media
