Light Media Center 2.1 (renamed from Light Player) expands advanced color support across video and photos, and improved overall experience and reliability.

New Features

  • HDR and color: added tone mapping profiles for photos and videos. You can configure multiple tone mapping curves and select which one to be applied in various scenarios.
  • Photos: save and convert photos with color space and metadata options.
  • Video: Desktop platforms now support saving screenshots in original resolution, color precision and color space, including WCG / HDR content. Support configurable font family and font size for SRT subtitles.
  • Photos and videos: advanced color thumbnails.

Improvements

  • Subtitles: improved rendering for ASS/SSA layout and effects.
  • Settings: reorganized structure and more robust startup settings loading
  • Interface: refined Apple-style visuals, Wayland client-side decorations, and context menus

Other Changes

  • Executable name is renamed from lmp (Light Media Player) to lmc (Light Media Center)

Known issues

  • Server transcoding may not preserve certain metadata (e.g. Dolby Vision, interlace).
  • HDR and WCG are not available on GNOME Wayland by default; perceptual HDR can be enabled manually (see installation docs).
  • Wayland Picture-in-Picture video playback does not automatically pin the window on top of others. This is a Wayland protocol limitation.
  • Android system library does not support grouping by geo locations due to Android API limitation.
  • Android hardware decoding does not support dynamic HDR metadata (Dolby Vision / HDR10+) due to ffmpeg mediacodec API limitation.
