mpv como alternativa Linux a MPC-HC

Actualizado el

Nuestra opinión

mpv is a solid replacement for MPC‑HC for users who want a lightweight, keyboard‑driven player that supports almost all common video and audio formats. It is ideal for power users who appreciate scriptability and external configuration, and for those who prefer a minimal GUI. If you rely on a graphical, drag‑and‑drop interface with built‑in subtitle and audio track selection, you may need to learn mpv’s command‑line options or use a front‑end like MPV‑MPRIS.

Lo que funciona igual

  • Both play a wide range of video/audio formats and support external subtitles and audio tracks
  • Both are open‑source and free
  • Both have low memory and CPU usage compared to heavy media players
  • Both can be controlled via keyboard shortcuts

Lo que cambia

  • mpv lacks a traditional GUI; it relies on command‑line or minimal UI, whereas MPC‑HC offers a full Windows‑style interface
  • mpv is cross‑platform (Linux, macOS, Windows) while MPC‑HC is Windows‑only
  • mpv’s configuration is file‑based (mpv.conf) rather than a settings dialog
  • mpv requires learning command syntax for advanced features, MPC‑HC uses menus
  • mpv does not bundle a built‑in codec library; it uses system codecs or external libraries

Abrir tus archivos de MPC-HC

MPC‑HC stores its settings in an .ini file and uses its own playlist format. mpv does not read these files directly. To migrate, you must manually recreate playlists and subtitle/audio selections in mpv’s configuration or use a script to convert .m3u/.pls files. Exporting from MPC‑HC to a standard playlist format is straightforward, but importing back into MPC‑HC from mpv is not supported.

Pasar de MPC-HC a mpv, paso a paso

  1. Install mpv from your distro’s package manager or via Flatpak
  2. Create a new mpv.conf file in ~/.config/mpv/ and add any custom settings you need
  3. Recreate your MPC‑HC playlists by dragging files into mpv or editing a .m3u file
  4. Learn basic mpv shortcuts (e.g., space for pause, arrow keys for seek)
  5. If you use external subtitles, place them in the same folder as the video or specify them with the --sub-file option
