A light, powerful and eye-catching media player

UMPlayer is a multi-format media player that’s based on MPlayer. It opens almost every known audio and video format, and is very light on system resources.

What can UMPlayer do?

UMPlayer boasts a wide array of options to create an excellent user experience when watching videos or listening to music. Besides the basic tools to play local files, VCD and DVD, UMPlayer can also play online TV and radio stations, and features built-in search for videos in YouTube and streaming music in Shoutcast.

Other interesting features are the screenshot tool – to capture any given frame – and the support for skins, with which you can customize the interface.

Seamless user experience

The program boasts a simple, almost minimalist interface that makes accessing all the various options and settings a real dream. There's almost learning curve and you should find UMPlayer easy to work with from the off.

UMPlayer can handles almost anything

UMPlayer already includes more than 200 codecs, which means you’ll hardly have problems to play any media file. The program can also download subtitles automatically for your foreign-language videos.

On the downside, UMPlayer doesn’t include any preloaded stations on its radio and TV lists, so unless you already know some of them this feature is pretty useless.

Conclusion

UMPlayer is a stylish, powerful media player with support for many formats and a small footprint on system resources.

    All the people who commented on this don't know much about computer... It is simply Awesome, much of the people who had presented theirs views don't know much about operation of players.. I am using computer ever since I was 5.. I recommend it to all.. It is light, powerful and posses many feature which are not their in the corner of VLC, KMP or Goom..

    It needs to bring up DVD menu for ISO files which it does not currently.. You can't claim to play ISO files if you don't bring up the menu first.

    Linux user. Power of Open Source! If you can read and modify the source code you can make this player even better and to suite your needs. Maybe one day Softonic will have a category for the most advanced operating system on planet Earth, Linux category.

    Outstanding in many ways but at present, it has just one minor glitch. . Outstanding in so many ways. I highly recommend it. UMPlayer is smooth, solid, and has a feeling of high quality. Pros: (1)When playing a video file with UMPlayer, UMPlayer will tell you what type of video format it once was.(2)Easy to drag all videos slow-forward or slow-backward, including former WMV video files that did not have this ability before.(3)Reliable auto-repeat ability.(4)Higher clarity in videos because they never needed to be converted.(5)Simplicity caused by uniformity in all video files. No more "yuck" feeling when a QuickTime video file appears (because QuickTime will no longer be needed). Cons: At present, UMPlayer can't play video files that have one or more foreign characters in their description. These video files will need to be renamed, removing any foreign characters, before UMPlayer can play them properly. "Foreign characters" would include any Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Sanskrit, Hebrew, and Arabic characters.
