#### Lightweight Video Player - Fast Minimalist Multi-Codec Media Player

Lightweight Video Player is a clean, fast-starting desktop video player for
Linux built on FFmpeg/libavcodec (PyAV) and QtMultimedia. A lightweight
Linux alternative to Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) for
distraction-free local video playback, keyboard-driven navigation, and
automatic playback position resume, it plays common containers and codecs
out of the box with low UI overhead.

Key Features:

* Streamlined Multi-Codec Playback: Plays MP4, MKV, WebM, AVI, MOV, MPEG,
  TS, and audio files through bundled libavformat/libavcodec with low-latency
  nearest/fast scaling and QtMultimedia stereo audio output.
* Automatic Position Resume: Remembers your last playback timestamp per file
  in user config storage and resumes automatically when reopening unfinished
  videos.
* Keyboard-Driven Classic Controls: Space to play/pause, Left/Right arrows
  for 5-second seeks, Up/Down for volume, Period (.) for single-frame step,
  M to mute, and F / F11 / double-click for fullscreen.
* Compact Folder Playlist: Automatically indexes videos in ~/Videos with
  instant double-click switching and multi-track audio selection.
