A simple video and music player. I'm of the opinion that the interface could use more menu/buttons instead of only having keyboard shortcuts, otherwise it's just mpv and not any easier to use for the average user. I use yt-dlp used to bring web videos into it without issue. Subtitle files work well too. I have not tried reading discs. No errors encountered (on Mint 22.1 Cinnamon).
Works with videos even VLC doesn't out of the box but doesn't have nearly the same level of feature set.
Decent enough media player, but could use a couple improvements. 01. Ability/option to remove/delete entire playlist. You can only remove one file from playlist at a time. 02. Would like it better if the mouse wheel could scroll the video w/out having to move cursor to scroll bar.
v0.21; mint cinnamon 22.1; dobra optymalizacja cpu, kernel oryginalny 6.8.0-53, mniej pobiera zasobów niż toporny w ustawieniu playlistyvlc; dobrze zoptymalizowana wersja 0.21 bo nowsza z flatpaka to lipa
My use-case is pretty simple - play music. This does the job perfectly, and reads album art without needing to dig into settings (unlike a some others in the Mint Software Manager). Haven't sat down to watch video media at length yet, but per the 10 minutes I've collectively spent making sure mp4's downloaded correctly, I'd say it does that job perfectly as well. Some potentially constructive criticism I can think of would be to add panel customization, such as a persistent playlist menu, and the ability for the user to customize what songs went into which albums within the software (as to avoid having 5 copies of the same song taking up disk space). Possibly also the ability to upload album art independently of metadata. As I'm not a software dev, I can't speak to how difficult or expensive those would be to implement, but they'd be nice-to-haves on an already great product.
Outdated, unnecessary wrapper for MPV. It worked for a while, then stopped. Mint 21.3 Cinnamon.
As stated by others - this shouldnt be the deafult player! features missing, non standard controls/shortcuts. Volume controls completely wrong. etc, etc.
Not the most amazing media player - in fact it's pretty basic. However, I have found that it works better with DVDs than VLC (at least for my system). If you're having trouble watching movies on VLC or some other media player, give this a go.
Simple. Effective. Perfect if you're an average user who don't care about the advanced stuff.
Tried to play a DVD with Celluloid via the file manager. All it did was just make my DVD drive spin super fast, and when I restarted my DVD drive started spinning super fast again. When I play the DVD via the Celluloid interface, I never get to a selection screen and one of the episodes plays on its own. Why is this the default media player for Linux Mint?
It doesn't even let you click on the screen to play/pause and the bar to move position is super tiny on a 4K screen
Perfect for reading a video when "vlc" doesn't want to display it because of a codec problem, in fact celluloid opens all the videos whatever the codec, the only flaw is that it doesn't know how to resume playback say at 30s, it starts again at the beginning of the track.
overly heavy trash that also froze my system :/ uninstall! pure mpv is perfectly good
Не смог нормально воспроизвести лицензионный dvd-диск "Влюбленный скорпион".Крашился и останавливался.Я даже перезагружал систему,но и после перезагрузки плеер все также отказывался нормально воспроизводить dvd-диск.А в vlc проблем с воспроизведением настоящих дисков нет!
A great and simple video player, if you're an average user and don't care much about the advanced stuff. It plays every song and music that I want to and it did it's job. I haven't had a bad experience with this program at all and I think that it's an okay player.
