mpv como alternativa Linux a KMPlayer

Actualizado el

Nuestra opinión

mpv is a solid replacement for KMPlayer for users who want a lightweight, fast‑starting player that supports almost every audio and video format. It excels at scriptability, keyboard control, and subtitle handling, making it ideal for power users and developers. However, it lacks a graphical interface and DVD playback out of the box, so users who rely on a point‑and‑click UI or built‑in DVD support may need to add extra tools or scripts.

Lo que funciona igual

  • Wide codec support (AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV, etc.)
  • Subtitle handling and multiple audio tracks
  • Fast startup and low resource usage
  • Keyboard‑driven control
  • Drag‑and‑drop playlist

Lo que cambia

  • No native GUI; relies on command line or external wrappers
  • DVD playback requires separate libraries or scripts
  • No built‑in ad‑free mode (but no ads anyway)
  • Requires manual configuration for advanced features
  • No integrated media key support without external tools

Both players can open standard media files (MP4, MKV, AVI, FLV). KMPlayer can also read proprietary playlist files (.kml) and some DVD/VCD formats that mpv needs additional libraries to support. Exporting from KMPlayer to a format mpv can play is straightforward—just choose a common container like MP4 or MKV. Unknown: whether KMPlayer’s proprietary project files are readable by mpv.

Pasar de KMPlayer a mpv, paso a paso

  1. Install mpv via your distro’s package manager or Flatpak.
  2. Create a simple mpv.conf in ~/.config/mpv/ to enable subtitles and audio defaults.
  3. Use a wrapper script or GUI front‑end (e.g., mpv.net, mpv-gtk) if you prefer a mouse interface.
  4. Add dvd+rw-tools or libdvdcss to your system for DVD playback.
  5. Configure keyboard shortcuts in mpv.conf or use a key‑binding tool.
  6. Test a few files to ensure codecs and subtitles work as expected.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does mpv play DVDs?

Yes, if you install the necessary libraries (libdvdcss, dvd+rw-tools) and enable the dvd input driver. Otherwise, mpv will report an error.

Can I use subtitles from KMPlayer?

Subtitles are standard files (SRT, ASS, etc.) and will work in mpv without conversion.

Is there a graphical interface?

mpv itself is command‑line only, but you can use front‑ends like mpv-gtk, mpv.net, or a simple script to launch mpv with a windowed UI.
