mpv als Linux-Alternative zu Miro
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
mpv can replace Miro for most Linux users who need a solid player for local files and streams. It handles virtually every codec and container, supports RTMP/HLS URLs, and offers playlist drag‑and‑drop. However, it lacks built‑in RSS feed downloading and the polished, all‑in‑one UI that Miro provided. If you are comfortable configuring scripts or using external tools for feed handling, mpv is a good fit; otherwise you may need a separate downloader or podcast manager. Power users who like keyboard control and scripting will find mpv especially suitable.

Ihre Miro-Dateien öffnen
Miro stored playlists as simple .m3u or .pls files, which mpv can read without conversion. Miro’s proprietary ‘Miro Library’ database is not supported, but you can export those lists to standard formats and open them in mpv. There is no direct export of Miro’s saved RSS feed definitions; you’ll need to recreate them with a separate downloader.
Von Miro zu mpv wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install mpv from your distro’s repository or via Flatpak
- Copy any .m3u/.pls playlists from Miro into a folder you’ll use with mpv
- If you need RSS auto‑download, install a tool like youtube‑dl or a dedicated podcast client and point it at the same feeds
- Create a simple mpv script (Lua) to load the playlists on start if you want automatic playback
- Adjust mpv.conf for your preferred video output and key bindings

Can mpv play videos from YouTube or other web services?
Yes, with youtube‑dl/yt‑dlp in your PATH, mpv can open YouTube, Vimeo, and many other sites directly.
How do I get automatic RSS downloads similar to Miro?
Use a separate downloader such as yt‑dlp, curl, or a podcast client (e.g., gPodder) that supports RSS, then feed the resulting files to mpv.
Is there a graphical front‑end for mpv that mimics Miro’s UI?
There are front‑ends like mpv‑gui or SMPlayer that provide a more traditional UI while still using mpv as the backend.
