vlc
VLC can also be used as a streaming server that duplicates the stream it reads and multicasts them through the network to other clients, or serves them through HTTP.
VLC has support for on-the-fly transcoding of audio and video formats, either for broadcasting purposes or for movie format transformations. Support for most output methods is provided by this package, but features can be added by installing additional plugins: * vlc-plugin-access-extra * vlc-plugin-fluidsynth * vlc-plugin-jack * vlc-plugin-notify * vlc-plugin-samba * vlc-plugin-skins2 * vlc-plugin-svg * vlc-plugin-video-splitter * vlc-plugin-visualization

Es el mejor reproductor de vídeo que he probado nunca, en Windows y ahora en Linux :D Muy ligero y sencillo, es perfecto
The Swiss Army Knife of media players, but the version in the software store needs to be updated. It's usually several versions behind and critical bug fixes are needed!
This behemoth is the absolute best media player app I ever witnessed. It reads DVD's, AVI's, everything!
It needs to be updated to 3.0.23 :( .... so you guys can run this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/vlc ........... sudo apt update ............... sudo apt install vlc
Best app of all time. (Don't open avi files on old pcs (for some reason))
Still the best. Has always been the best. I'm sorry everyone else making stuff, but it just has. It is the very definition of "It just works" and should be the benchmark by which all others are be held by..
VLC is a great tool, it's got solid support for a variety of formats. I don't use it as my primary media player, but it is my go-to for DVDs and Blu-ray discs. The regular movie menus work in VLC, something I haven't seen in many other players (if any), and has been lovely for discs with multiple languages / subtitle tracks.
VLC is great, but this version is 2 years out of date and as such is missing some security updates and bugfixes
Celluloid, like every front-end for Mplayer, is incapable of reading menu's of either DVD's or Blu-Ray's. That makes it useless for many. VlC exceeds at this tasks.
The UI is a bit dated. I don't see a point in using it when Celluloid exists and is preinstalled in Mint. Celluloid has a much better UI, while doing the same thing.
completely unable to properly display mp4-video files from my phone. Makes it completely useless. The built-in Celluloid-app from Mint is miles better
Couldn't play music or audio via Rhytmbox then i remembered this app exists: absolutely the best.
