/Player-Recommendations

A list of Videoplayers I & others can recommend

A lot of this is preference based. Just don't use VLC on Desktop as it alters colors.

Desktop

Windows

  • PotPlayer
    Has a good looking UI and is very easy to use.
    Download
  • mpv.net
    A C# Media Player based on mpv with more UI for customization, which makes it a little easier.
    Seems to be hit or miss for some people.
    Download

Linux

  • Celluloid (formerly Gnome-MPV)
    An easier to use UI for mpv, still supports all of the scripts that mpv does.
    Download

Universal

Mobile

Android

  • VLC
    VLC using a different rendering engine on Android makes it useable and actually one of the better options.
    May or may not have problems with complex typesetting or kfx.
    Google Play
    F-Droid
  • mpv
    Practically no manual config needed unlike the desktop version.
    Google Play
    F-Droid
  • Kodi
    Way more than just a player so it might be overwhelming to use at first.
    Google Play
    F-Droid

iOS

  • VLC
    Same reason as VLC for Android.
    Download
  • Infuse
    Very easy to use, more of a media manager & player in one.
    Download
  • Documents
    A File manager that can be used similarly to a media center.
