Haruna als Linux-Alternative zu VLC
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Haruna can replace VLC for users who mainly play local files and want a lightweight player with custom keyboard shortcuts and online video support. It lacks many of VLC’s advanced features such as full streaming protocol support, transcoding, and extensive subtitle management, so it is best suited for casual users who do not need those capabilities.

- Haruna lacks built‑in transcoding and advanced audio/video filters

- Haruna’s interface is minimal and may not expose all media information that VLC shows
Ihre VLC-Dateien öffnen
Haruna opens standard media files (MP4, MKV, MP3, etc.) without needing extra codecs, similar to VLC. It does not import or export VLC‑specific playlist or configuration files, so users cannot directly migrate playlists or settings from VLC to Haruna.

- 1. Install Haruna via your distribution’s package manager or Flatpak.
- 2. Export any VLC playlists you need (File → Save Playlist to File).
- 3. Open the exported playlist in Haruna or rebuild it manually.
