SMPlayer has a simple and easy-to-use interface, but the most notable feature is its ability to remember and resume playback from the moment you stopped a media file using the same settings and the same volume.

Another great thing about SMPlayer is the integrated codecs, this way you don't need to search for and install the codecs separately!

Do you want a media player that can play YouTube videos directly? Look no further, with SMPlayer's YouTube browser tool you can enjoy your local videos and watch YouTube videos on the interface.
