About mpc-qt
Media Player Classic Qute Theater (MPC-QT) is a media player reimplemented using Qt and libmpv. It aims to replicate the interface and functionality of MPC-HC (Media Player Classic Home Cinema), a popular Windows media player, while leveraging libmpv for video playback.
MPC-QT supports both Windows and Linux platforms, offering release builds and development builds. The player maintains a familiar options layout from MPC-HC, with unimplemented features hidden or disabled to avoid confusion.
The software is designed for users who prefer the MPC-HC experience but desire cross-platform compatibility and modern playback capabilities. It includes features like multiple playlists, video preview on the seekbar, and support for online videos using yt-dlp.
