Dark Cinema Player - dark-themed video player with playlist & picture tuning

A dark-themed video player for Linux with a playlist, seek bar, speed control, frame stepping, picture adjustments and subtitle overlay. A lightweight Linux alternative to MPC-BE style desktop players.

What it really does:

  • Decodes video through a bundled FFmpeg build (H.264, HEVC, VP8/VP9, AV1, MPEG-2/4, ProRes and more) and shows the frames in a dark UI. Video only: this release has no audio output.
  • Playlist with auto-advance, seek slider, -10s/+10s jumps, frame step, speed 0.25x-4x, fullscreen.
  • Live picture tuning (brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma) and external .srt/.ass/.vtt subtitles.
  • Library tab scans your Videos, Downloads, Desktop and removable media for video files.
  • Media Info tab lists the container and every stream reported by FFmpeg.
  • Saves the current frame as a PNG into ~/Pictures.
