Question I'm looking for a really compact media player ?

[danilaa]

Hello,

can you give me suggestions for a really compact media player. Essential functions should be play, pause, fullscreen, volume change, jump to time (or a bar to click on) and maybe that it supports subtitles. There should not be much more than that. Can you recommend me something.

It should pretty much look like this:

Wondershare player, but sadly this one does not work directly to open mp4, avi etc. but this is roughly the level of essential I am hoping to find. Would be awesome if you knew any that are similar.

You can try Media Player Classic. its pretty lightweight..

i use media player classic myself. easy to use, free and will play any format out of the box

Just so that you know this is the primary address for Media Player Classic:

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

because its based on an older version that may come up if you google it.

Also if you don't like that or think its too difficult to set up you could try VLC:

Official download of VLC media player, the best Open Source player - VideoLAN

VLC. Doesn't do too much. Most likely have to add extensions for subtitle and jump-to-time. It has a bar that you can slide backward-forward, though. Plays pretty much all the formats I have too. 180MB in the x64 directory.

Thanks für the tips, but media player classic and vlc have still have too many functions.
I am looking for something that really has only very essential stuff (like in the screenshot), nothing like jump back 5 seconds forward, dont need playlists, no equalizer/compressor options etc.

Maybe try MPlayer, nothing else comes to mind with your kinda requirement.
MPlayer has a Windows version probably.

i can't think of anything myself with such simple options. it is an interesting question for sure but i just don't recall ever seeing such a thing.

Thanks I will check MPlayer later on! If anybody else has ideas, please share and happy new year everybody 🙂

I would suggest Daum Pot Player. It's super customizable player with tons of features, you can make it compact too with compact mode.

Thanks Dean. Admittedly the first time I hear this player name and I cannot find much about it. Where can I get it?
I found this link https://shopee.co.id/buyer/login?ne...-Full-Version-Windows-i.895053578.26200817878

which seems to lead to nowhere. On google, a lot of results searching for Daum Dot Player are about Pot Player. Was it renamed into that?
