LinuxPlayer 1.0 is available — try it and help test Linux desktop compatibility

[huzaifaasim017]

LinuxPlayer 1.0 is out. It is a free, GPL-3.0-or-later local video player built with Qt Quick and libmpv. The interface hides playback controls while watching, with a lock mode for a clear video view. It also has a compact mini-player, resume prompt, audio/subtitle track selection, playback speed, shortcuts, and a canvas-ratio preview for formats such as 9:16 and 1:1. The preview changes only playback framing; it does not edit or export the video.

Try it: download the amd64 or ARM64 .deb, or review the source. The terminal installer selects the architecture and verifies the package checksum. Packages are built on Ubuntu 24.04 and install-tested on Ubuntu 26.04; other Debian-based systems depend on compatible libraries.

Feedback that would help most:

• Your distro/version and Wayland or X11 session, especially if installation or the mini-player behaves differently.
• A local file that fails to play, seek, or load subtitles, with the codec/container details.
• Whether canvas Fit/Fill and the control-lock behavior are clear in actual use.

Please open a bug report for reproducible failures or reply here with usage feedback. Screenshots and the full feature overview are on the website.
