A Linux alternative to Daum PotPlayer 64 for 4K UHD playback, color-space inspection, and decode benchmarking, it decodes real H.264, HEVC/H.265 (8-bit and 10-bit), VP9, and AV1 media streams on 64-bit Linux systems. Key Features: * Up to 4K UHD Decoding: Multi-threaded libavcodec decoding up to 3840x2160 with synchronized 48 kHz stereo PCM audio via QtMultimedia / PulseAudio, aspect ratio controls, frame stepping, and lossless PNG frame capture. * HDR & Color Metadata Inspector: Reads real stream color range, matrix coefficients, color primaries (BT.709 / BT.2020), and transfer functions (SDR, HDR10 SMPTE ST 2084 PQ, HLG ARIB STD-B67) directly from containers. * Live Playback Telemetry & Hardware Probe: Displays real-time decoded, shown, and dropped frame counters, per-frame decode latency (ms), CPU model from /proc/cpuinfo, and DRM GPU adapters from /sys/class/drm. * Built-In Decode Benchmark: Measures unthrottled raw video decode speed (frames/sec) on any opened local media file.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install UHD Media Player To install UHD Media Player, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install uhd-media-player ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
