Haruna como alternativa Linux a MPC-HC

Actualizado el 2 de noviembre de 2026

Nuestra opinión

Haruna can replace MPC‑HC for users who need a lightweight, customizable Linux media player that also handles online streams. It covers most local video and audio formats, supports subtitles and external audio, and offers a rich set of keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Users who rely heavily on YouTube playlists or want quick chapter navigation will find Haruna useful. Those who need advanced codec support or a very small footprint may prefer a more minimal player.

Abrir tus archivos de MPC-HC

MPC‑HC does not use a proprietary project file format; it simply plays files directly. Haruna opens the same media files without conversion, so any video or audio file playable by MPC‑HC will open in Haruna. Exporting settings or playlists from MPC‑HC to Haruna is not supported, but you can manually recreate playlists in Haruna’s interface.

Pasar de MPC-HC a Haruna, paso a paso

1. Install Haruna via your distro’s package manager or Flathub.
2. Open your media files in Haruna; verify subtitles and external audio work.
3. Recreate any MPC‑HC playlists in Haruna’s playlist editor.
4. Adjust keyboard shortcuts in Haruna’s settings to match your MPC‑HC preferences.
5. Disable any unwanted YouTube‑dl features if you only need local playback.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does Haruna support the same codecs as MPC‑HC?

Yes, Haruna relies on the same underlying libraries (FFmpeg, GStreamer) that MPC‑HC uses, so it can play the same formats, including MP4, MKV, AVI, and many audio codecs.

Can I use Haruna to play YouTube videos?

Yes, Haruna integrates youtube‑dl to stream YouTube videos and playlists directly, a feature not present in MPC‑HC.

What if I want a more minimal player than Haruna?

If you need an even lighter footprint, consider a terminal‑based player like mpv or a minimal GUI like VLC with minimal plugins; Haruna is heavier than MPC‑HC but still lightweight compared to full‑featured players.
