Just enter these commands (you will need to be root): This is done very easily from the terminal. That means users need to add a third-party repository that holds the latest version. I tested the SMPlayer in Ubuntu and the latest version in the official repos is quite old. Some users might need to compile it, others to add a new repository, and others will just find the latest one in the official repos. I said earlier that installing the latest version of SMPlayer differs from one distro to another. It's not included by default in too many distros, and that's a real shame, but it's the kind of app that is usually among the first ones users get after a fresh install.
Depending on the distribution, it's quite easy to install and to use, so it's no wonder that it's a top choice.
This is the kind of app you install because you know it plays everything and that you don't need to do anything else. It's not just a simple GUI that makes use of the already-present functions, it adds a lot of other features on top of that. You might wonder why not use MPlayer directly and stop messing with something that looks like an intermediary. Like many other applications of this type on the Linux platform, it's actually a front-end MPlayer. In fact, it was first released back in 2006 and that was eight years ago. We now take a closer look at SMPlayer to see if it's really that good. Everyone knows about this app and its reputation is well deserved. SMPlayer is probably one of the most used media players on the Linux platform, despite the fact that it's actually a multiplatform application.
