Our community fork of the classic open-source player

Plays everything.
Weighs nothing.

mplayer2k22 is our faster, friendlier fork of the legendary command-line player — rebuilt with a buttery interface, zero codec hunting, signed builds, and absolutely no nonsense.

No account. No ads. No telemetry. Ever.

Digitally signed & verified Code-signed on every platform · SHA-256 checksum published for each release
⊞ Windows 10 / 11 ⌘ macOS 12+ 🐧 Linux (.deb · .rpm · AppImage)

Everything you missed. None of the bloat.

Three things this fork does better than anything else on your drive.

Plays everything

MKV, FLAC, that weird .ogm from 2004 — if it’s a media file, it just opens. The codecs are already inside. No “missing decoder” pop-ups, not once.

Featherweight

Under 12 MB installed and it launches before you finish double-clicking. Sips RAM, ignores your CPU, and never spins up a fan to play an MP3.

Truly yours

GPLv3, no accounts, no tracking, no upsells. Read the source, fork it, ship your own build. The player belongs to the people who run it.
