QMPlay2 is a media player based on Qt and FFmpeg. You can open various audio and video formats, use playlists and modify subtitles. The settings go beyond just playing and pause: you influence the video output used and the processing of image and sound.

This makes the player interesting if a file in your usual player is not playing properly or if you want more control. Change one setting at a time. A problem with hardware acceleration can otherwise be difficult to distinguish from a wrongly chosen audio channel or a missing subtitle track.

The available packages vary by system. The current Windows release focuses on modern 64-bit systems; the developer has separate older builds for old Windows versions. They are not equal to the current edition. On Linux you use an appropriate package or build the source code. An Android trial version is not part of this recommendation.

Who is it for?

You want more configuration options than a simple media player offers and you don't mind running image and sound options.

Getting started

On the release page, choose the package for your operating system. First, open a local file and check audio and subtitles before changing video output settings.

Privacy

Your own files will be played on your device. When you open an Internet stream, the provider of that stream gets network data from your connection.

Our verdict

QMPlay2 is especially useful when you want to influence the playback chain. That freedom can make a difficult media file usable, but also makes the player less self-evident for someone who only wants to double click on a movie. Start with default settings and adjust only what you need. For installation or conversion, you remain dependent on another program.
