UMPlayer (Universal Media Player) (or UMP in abbreviation) is a free, Cross-platform, with versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, GNU, and Linux.[2] and open source media player front-end for MPlayer and is a fork of the open source SMPlayer project.
Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 or later, UMPlayer is free software.[3]
The default distribution of UMPlayer includes the MPlayer binary and a large number of free decoding and encoding libraries, avoiding the need for finding/calibrating proprietary plugins. Many of MPlayer's codecs are provided by the libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project.
Key strengths inherited from libavcodec include wide ranging ability to play media files, including .flv - without needing to obtain an external codec, and the ability to play some broken media files. Both of those features are present in other projects using libavcodec like VLC, but are absent from some other media software, including Windows Media Player. Other key strengths that are unique to UMPlayer front-end include the ability to play YouTube and SHOUTcast streams directly from the player and a very attractive Graphical User Interface.
Over a short period of time since it's initial release UMPlayer has become the one of the most popular media player for the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) platform [4].
