  • celluloid

    A simple GTK+ frontend for mpv (by celluloid-player)

  • gnome-mpv was abandoned and forked into Celluloid: https://github.com/celluloid-player/celluloid

  • LibVLCSharp

    Cross-platform .NET/Mono bindings for LibVLC

  • I'd just like to point out the fact that the VLC media player has, IMO, the best feature of any video player on Linux. Namely, the "Enqueue items into playlist in one instance mode." This basically gives me a music queue for all of my music videos that I pulled from iTunes back in the day. Great feature! Thanks to the guys (and gals I assume; they don't have an "About us" page). Take my upvote and (more importantly) my contribution! You can contribute here: https://www.videolan.org/

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • mpv

    🎥 Command line video player

  • gnome-mpv

  • Anime4K

    A High-Quality Real Time Upscaler for Anime Video

  • Also, MPV can have shader (I don't know if VLC can) so I can use something like Anime4K to upscale the video, mostly anime, and fun fact, you can use MPV as a YouTube player and upscale it too

  • mpvacious

    🍜 Adds mpv keybindings to create Anki cards from movies and TV shows.

  • I use mpv because you can use mpvacious for language study. I also use custom scripts to locate subtitles automatically in non-trivial folder structures.
