Amaya Toman Every day, in this column, we will bring you a more detailed look at a selected application that has just caught our attention. Here you will find applications for productivity, creativity, utilities, but also games. It won't always be the hottest news, our goal is primarily to highlight apps that we think are worth paying attention to. Today we will introduce MPV Player media player.
The range of media players for Mac of all kinds is really wide. Each product has its own specifics and specific functions, with which it tries to meet different groups of users. The mpv player application will undoubtedly suit all those who prefer powerful, but simple, minimalistic programs. It is a completely free open source program that is available across platforms including Linux distributions as well as the Windows operating system.
MPV Player can handle video and audio files of all possible formats, you can enter files to be played into the player either from the menu in the menu bar at the top of your Mac's display, or via the Drag&Drop function. In addition to files from your computer, MPV player can also play videos from URLs.
The MPV Player application provides users with basic and more advanced playback control options while maintaining a very simple user interface without a flood of additional graphical controls. Playback takes place in a customizable window that you can freely move around the desktop. Although the basic control of MPV Player is very simple, it will appeal to more advanced users rather than beginners or casual viewers - it is an open source application with great possibilities of use and customization.
I switched from VLC to IINA some time ago. Satisfied for now.
