Similarly, unlike the Windows and OS X versions, the Linux build of UMPlayer also lacks CPU optimisation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Like a lot of media players available on Linux – barring VLC – UMplayer lacks comprehensive DVD menu navigation support. Configurable mouse and keyboard functionsįor a full list of what UMPlayer can do head to LINK BROKEN.Apply ‘real time’ audio and video filters and effects.Choose specific video and audio outputs.Other featuresĪmongst the other features present in UMPlayer are: – UMPlayer comes, by default, with over 270 built-in audio and video codecs so it should be able to play most formats that you chuck at it, including standard formats such as AVI, DIVX, FLV and MOV, as well as Matroska, WMV, RealMedia, AAC and more.
Options for subtitle delay – useful for when things go out of sync – can be accessed via the ‘Subtitles’ menu in the application menu bar. Subtitles font, size and colour are also configurable via the ‘Preferences’ dialog. SubtitlesĪs someone who relies on subtitles when watching a lot of non-English language TV shows and movies, I really appreciate the built-in subtitles search n’ downloader. It also has one of the nicest OSD control bars I’ve ever seen on a Linux media player: –įor the full bling-factor enable the ‘Animation’ setting in UMPLayer via ‘Preferences > Interface > Floating Control’. My favourite is the ‘Modern’ skin which is used in most of the screenshots on this page. Thankfully the inclusion of some slick skins more than makes up for it. In fact the default ‘theme’ of UMPlayer leaves a lot – and I mean a lot – to be desired: – I generally like my desktop applications to “match” my system theme but UMPlayer doesn’t do this. You are able to set the default playback quality for YouTube video – from 360p to full 1080p – as well as choosing the quality and file format for downloaded videos via the ‘preferences’ menu. The search box is present in the main screen at all times, whilst search results present themselves in a small popup window. One of the ‘unique’ features present in UMPlayer is the ability to search, play and ‘record’ (download) YouTube videos. UMplayer – Universal Multimedia Player – is a cross-platform fork of popular Qt media player SMPlayer, which, in turn, is based on MPlayer.ĭespite the complicated linage UMPlayer is much, much more than a rebranded, repackaged ‘app clone’: UMPlayer comes with jam-packed with neat features and tools. And that’s sort of the case with desktop applications: you need to try a few rubbish ones before you hit upon the one you really like.Īnd that’s where todays choice – UMPlayer – comes in. A box of chocolates ( oh dear here I go with analogies…) would be boring if each individual sweet tasted the same as the next. Media players: who needs another one right?
