Īs of at least late 2019, PotPlayer began to be bundled with third-party software, causing concerns from PotPlayer's users community.

"It has many different settings which unfortunately makes wading through the checkbox-laden settings menu kind of a pain." and that the options menu is "confusing". LifeHacker observed that PotPlayer's quantity of options is one of its biggest weaknesses.

Universal Multimedia Player supports the same range of input, video and audio formats as other mplayer forks. I was not able to find an offline installer but it may be there somewhere on the website or forum.


The Windows version comes as a web installer that requires an Internet connection to download the latest package from the developer website. Like all other mplayer forks UMPlayer is released for all mplayer supported operating systems, which means Mac, Windows and Linux. I do not want to say to much but I'm pretty impressed by the video player. UMplayer is another MPlayer fork with some interesting new features that you won't find in the other players. This includes my favorite video player SMPlayer but also KMPlayer (just received an update to version 3) or MPlayer WW. I have reviewed several video players in the past that use MPlayer as a core component.
