  • mpc-hc

    Media Player Classic

  • Also for MPC-HC, the original project has been abandoned since 2017. There is a fork however which has been updated with more recent patches, but because of a low amount of contributers new updates shouldn't be expected very soon. https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/ (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175209)

  • mpv

    🎥 Command line video player

  • You can use mpv (I use mpv.net as GUI) since IINA is just based on it.

  • LibVLCSharp

  • VLC: Official site - Free multimedia solutions for all OS! - VideoLAN

  • VideoLAN Client (VLC)

    VLC media player - All pull requests are ignored, please follow https://wiki.videolan.org/Sending_Patches_VLC/

  • VLC is a must on Windows if you need to play DRM-protected DVDs or videos encoded in HEVC.

  • iina

    The modern video player for macOS.

  • For our Mac friends in the PCMR, do yourself a favour and switch from the prehistoric QuickTime to IINA. It looks and behaves just like QuickTime, but is based on modern versions of FFMpeg and is open-source.

  • mpv.net

    🎞 mpv.net is a media player for Windows with a modern GUI.

  • You can use mpv (I use mpv.net as GUI) since IINA is just based on it.

  • LAVFilters

    LAV Filters - Open-Source DirectShow Media Splitter and Decoders

  • You could also install any DirectShow codec. Such as LAVFilters. (https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters)

  • 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.
