Download SMPlayer

SMPlayer is a free, open-source media player built on top of the powerful MPlayer and mpv engines. It supports virtually every video and audio format imaginable, including MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, MP3, FLAC, and many more, making it a versatile all-in-one media solution for Windows and Linux.

One of SMPlayer’s standout features is its ability to remember the settings for each video you play — including volume, equalizer settings, and subtitle position — so you can pick up exactly where you left off. It also supports YouTube playback and streaming media, going beyond basic local file playback.

SMPlayer includes a built-in subtitle downloader that can automatically fetch subtitles from OpenSubtitles.org, and it supports the casting of media to external devices. Its clean interface and deep customization options make it a favorite among power users.
