Celluloid, alternative Linux à Windows Media Player

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Celluloid is a solid replacement for Windows Media Player if you want a simple, modern media player for local files and value a clean GNOME-style interface. It handles most common formats through mpv, supports playlists and basic playback controls, and integrates well on Linux desktops via MPRIS. It’s ideal for users who prefer lightweight, no-frills players and are comfortable with or already using a GTK-based desktop. Not ideal for those needing advanced library management or legacy codec support.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Media Player

Celluloid, using the mpv backend, plays MP3, MP4, AVI, MKV, and FLAC without issue. WMV support depends on system codecs; it may not play all WMV files out of the box, especially on minimal Linux installs. No conversion or export features are available. If you have a collection of older WMV files, ensure your system has proper codec support or consider converting them to more open formats. Most common user media files will open directly.
