About SMPlayer
SMPlayer is a free media player with built-in codecs that can
play virtually all video and audio formats. It doesn't need any
external codecs. Just install SMPlayer and you'll be able to play
all formats without the hassle to find and install codec packs.
It provides many interesting features like the possibility to play
YouTube videos, search and download subtitles or cast to external devices
like smartphones and tablets.
One of the main features is the ability to remember the settings of previously
played files, so when you play them later they will be resumed at the same point
and with the same settings.
