Modern versions of SMPlayer can also be used as a frontend for mpv. (mpv is a fork of mplayer2 and MPlayer. )

smplayer Install smplayer can be installed in the Software Center or with APT. It is comparable to VLC (an alternative to MPlayer of comparable capabilities), though SMPlayer's interface does not provide access to all the features of MPlayer.
