ALLPlayer vs mpv

ALLPlayer is a movie and music player for Windows, Android and iOS, with built-in codecs for playing multimedia formats. It can find and download matching subtitles through OpenSubtitles.org, and its speech synthesizer reads subtitles aloud with adjustable voice and reading speed. AI Voice-Over creates narration from SRT subtitles and can use a sample of the user's voice. That feature requires an internet connection, an active package and a video file, and generated voiceovers are limited to files the user has full rights to. The desktop player includes local and global radio stations organized by music themes. ALLPlayer Remote lets a phone control ALLPlayer, VLC, Windows Media Player, Netflix, YouTube and PowerPoint, and transfer files between a phone and PC. Parental Control password-protects videos, but losing the password means losing access. The player has a free plan; AI voiceovers are sold in one-time packs, starting at 1.40 USD for one voiceover.

mpv is a free, open-source command-line media player for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. It plays a wide range of media formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types, including Matroska (MKV) and MP4, with network playback and 4K playback support. Its interface is deliberately limited: there is no full graphical interface, only a small on-screen controller for basic playback. Video output is based on OpenGL, Vulkan, and D3D11, with scaling, color management, frame timing, interpolation, and HDR features. mpv can use hardware decoding APIs on its supported platforms, and decoding can be switched on while the player is running. Scripts and user-created scripts can extend its behavior; developers can also use its C API to embed it in other applications. The project is actively developed. The default license is GPLv2 or later, with LGPLv2.1 or later available for builds configured with -Dgpl=false. Only the latest stable release receives security updates.
