Packages

SMPlayer is built with Qt and is based on MPlayer. This makes it quite portable, since MPlayer and Qt are already available on all major operating systems. On the operating systems on which SMPlayer has not yet been ported to, it is likely possible to run the application through binary compatibility with another Unix or Linux.

In addition to the Windows packages, official binary packages are provided for Ubuntu. Many distributions provide packages in their repositories.

For FreeBSD, SMPlayer is available for installation from source via the ports tree and also available as binary packages for most major FreeBSD releases.

OpenBSD also provides binary packages and is available in its ports collection as well.

SMPlayer is not available yet on NetBSD or DragonFly BSD, either in binary format or in pkgsrc. NetBSD should be able to run the FreeBSD binary without much trouble.

SMPlayer 0.6.7 under Vista

Windows

As of version 0.6.7, SMPlayer is distributed with a NSIS generated setup (previously Inno Setup). The installer is capable of downloading and installing the latest MPlayer and MPlayer codec packages during setup, although an alternative installer is available with MPlayer included for off-line installs.[6]

"Portable" (no installer) versions are also available in PortableApps format.[7] An independent doom9 developer offers different Windows packages based on MPlayer binaries ported by Gianluigi Tiesi.[8][9]

Forks

  • UMPlayer offered integration with SHOUTcast streams and support for Mac OS X.[10][11][12] The SMPlayer FAQ advises UMPlayer users that the same features have been added and that SMPlayer is more frequently updated.[13]
  • SMPlayer2: An abandoned fork targeted at mplayer2 users, as of 2014 replaced by SMPlayer with mpv.[14][15]
