Gnome MPlayer, alternative Linux à VLC media player

Notre avis

Gnome MPlayer can replace VLC for users who need a lightweight player on a GNOME desktop and are comfortable tweaking MPlayer options. It will play most common video and audio files out of the box, but it lacks many of VLC's convenience features such as extensive codec autodetection, built‑in streaming support, and a polished subtitle engine. If you value low resource usage and prefer a simple interface, it works well; otherwise, VLC remains the more complete, hassle‑free choice.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

  • Both use the same underlying codecs and can play MP4, MKV, AVI, MP3, AAC, FLAC, etc.
  • Both provide basic playback controls and playlist functionality.
  • Both are free and open‑source software.
  • Both support subtitles in multiple languages.

Ce qui change

  • Gnome MPlayer relies on the separate MPlayer engine and lacks VLC's built‑in network streaming protocols (RTSP, YouTube, etc.).
  • VLC includes hardware‑accelerated decoding (VA‑API, VDPAU) by default; Gnome MPlayer may require manual configuration.
  • VLC offers a more extensive library/metadata manager; Gnome MPlayer’s library features are minimal.
  • VLC has a more active development cycle; Gnome MPlayer is discontinued and may not receive updates.

Ouvrir vos fichiers VLC media player

Both players can open the same media files directly; there is no special export format from VLC that Gnome MPlayer needs to handle. If you have VLC playlists (XSPF, M3U), Gnome MPlayer can read the basic M3U format, but advanced VLC‑specific playlist features may be lost.

Passer de VLC media player à Gnome MPlayer, étape par étape

  1. Install MPlayer and gnome-mplayer from your distribution’s repository.
  2. Set gnome-mplayer as the default application for video/audio MIME types.
  3. Import any existing M3U playlists into gnome-mplayer’s simple playlist manager.
  4. Test playback of your most used files (MP4, MKV, MP3) and adjust MPlayer config for missing codecs.
  5. If you need network streams, configure MPlayer command‑line options or consider keeping VLC for those cases.

Questions fréquentes

Can Gnome MPlayer play YouTube videos?

Not directly; you would need to supply a URL to MPlayer with the appropriate youtube-dl helper, which is more manual than VLC’s built‑in support.

Is hardware acceleration available?

Yes, but you must enable it in MPlayer’s configuration (e.g., vaapi or vdpau options); it is not enabled by default in the GNOME front‑end.

Will subtitles work automatically?

Basic subtitle files (SRT, ASS) are supported, but advanced features like automatic language selection or embedded font handling are less polished than VLC.
