SMPlayer is a free media player for Windows and Linux with built-in codecs that can play all video and sound formats. It does not need external codecs. Just install SMPlayer and you will be able to play all formats without the inconvenience of searching for and installing codec packages.
Powerful Playback Engine
At its core, SMPlayer serves as a graphical user interface for the award-winning MPlayer technology, widely recognized as one of the world’s most capable media players. Recent versions also support mpv as an alternative playback engine, providing users with flexible options for media rendering.
Key Advantages for Everyday Users
What truly sets SM Player apart is its intelligent memory system. Unlike standard media players, SMPlayer remembers your settings for every file you play.

This thoughtful feature transforms the viewing experience, especially for longer content or series watching.
