Haruna como alternativa Linux a VLC
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
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.

Lo que cambia
- Haruna does not support the full range of streaming protocols that VLC does (e.g., RTSP, MMS, HTTP live streaming)
- Haruna lacks built‑in transcoding and advanced audio/video filters
- Haruna’s subtitle handling is limited; it does not support external subtitle files as robustly as VLC
- Haruna does not provide a comprehensive playlist editor or advanced playback features like repeat or shuffle
- Haruna’s interface is minimal and may not expose all media information that VLC shows
Abrir tus archivos de VLC
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.
Pasar de VLC a Haruna, paso a paso
- 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.
- 4. Recreate any custom keyboard shortcuts in Haruna’s settings.
- 5. Test playback of your media library to confirm compatibility.
