Celluloid, alternative Linux à Windows Media Player Legacy
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Celluloid is a solid, no-nonsense replacement for Windows Media Player Legacy. It handles common audio and video files without fuss, thanks to the mpv engine. The interface is clean and follows GNOME standards, which might feel different if you are used to the classic Windows look, but it is intuitive. It supports playlists and drag-and-drop, covering the core needs of a basic media player. You do not need to install extra codecs for most files. It is ideal for users who want a lightweight, free player that just works, without the bloat or ads found in some other options.

Ce qui change

- Lacks the extensive online store and integration features of the original WMP
- Relies on the mpv engine, which may handle some obscure legacy codecs differently than WMP
Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Media Player Legacy
Celluloid plays standard media files (MP3, MP4, MKV, etc.) directly, which is the primary use case for most WMP users. If you have a legacy WPL (Windows Media Player) playlist file, Celluloid does not natively open it. You will need to convert it to a standard M3U or M3U8 playlist using a text editor or conversion tool before importing it into Celluloid. Media files themselves are fully compatible as long as the codecs are supported by mpv.

Can Celluloid play DVD discs?
Yes, it can play DVD video content because it uses the mpv engine, which supports DVD playback. However, it does not provide a graphical DVD menu interface by default; you will usually need to start playback directly or use mpv's built-in menu options.
Do I need to install extra codecs?
For most common formats like MP3, MP4, and MKV, no. Celluloid relies on mpv, which bundles or links to necessary libraries. If you encounter issues with rare or proprietary formats, you may need to install additional codec packages specific to your Linux distribution.
Is the interface too different from Windows Media Player?
Yes, it looks different. It follows GNOME design guidelines, so it will look native to Linux desktops like GNOME or KDE. It is not a pixel-perfect clone of WMP, but the core controls (play, pause, volume, seek) are in familiar positions and function similarly.
