24 alternatives to Vivace – A single-process Qt media player with interactive DVD menus
Vivace uses only Qt (v6.11.1 or newer) itself — no Qt Widgets, no external player processes. I built it because I wanted SMPlayer's UI conventions and features without depending on the external player processes(mpv/mplayer). It's a ground-up rewrite, not a fork. - DVD playback with interactive menus, from a from-scratch IFO/PCI parser (no libdvdnav) - a hybrid WSOLA + phase-vocoder approach to speed-adjusted audio, since neither algorithm alone sounds good in both directions - secure credential storage via the OS keychain - casting to a phone/tablet over a small embedded web…

Hi there, This is just a shameless self-plug about a personal project of mine: "Using mpv and mpvc to play and manage the stuff I listen." To that end I've forked the great https://github.com/lwilletts/mpvc and started hacking around, so far I've focused on: getting a minimal TUI working, improving the CLI, playing online music (eg. youtube and other streaming services), and bugfixes (including the introducing new ones). The project is mainly developed, and, used under Debian/Ubuntu systems so expect the best results with these. What I expect from sharing in HN is: -…

Hello HN. I created a video player for Windows, specialized for language learning. It can generate subtitles in real time using OpenAI Whisper. It can also generate subtitles from any online videos. It is free and open source. I would very much like to get feedback, Thanks. [Github: https://github.com/umlx5h/LLPlayer]

Hello HN! I’m a bachelors student pursuing Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Signal processing and during the year I had the goal to build my first AI Tool and launch it. I got inspired by how capable Whisper is, and combined the Whisper CPP Bindings along with FFMPEG.Wasm to create a tool that is capable of transcribing and captioning video files that contain one or more video tracks. Along with that, I’ve also added the support for transcribing audio files with the option to export those outputs as .SRT, .WebVTT or simply a text file. All done privately on a user’s web browser with…

Hey folks! I've spent the last 8 months building a VST plugin called "The Infinite Crate" on top of Magenta's Lyria RealTime music model on the Gemini API. Doug Eck's research group has been building MusicLM and variants since 2017 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz-fHidp1M8) I bridged a JUCE/C++ audio processing foundation with a React/Typescript UI, using Zustand to sync state. The plugin streams down generated audio from the Lyria RealTime model in the Gemini API via websockets You can try it as a VST3 on Mac/Windows or AU/Standalone on Mac. It works in…

Hi, I am kind of hesitant to post this because I wrote this myself and it's definitely not polished but I thought people might find it useful considering some of the music related things I have seen posted here. This doesn't have anything fancy like a recommendation system or pretty ui but it makes it very easy to listen to music and keep a history of what you've listened to. If it means anything, this is the only thing I use for music playing. Features: - Everything is a text file (queue, your listen/artist history)! - Mpv as music player (you can control or get info using the ipc…

I'm a 23yo solo dev from Spain with a passion for UI/UX and I built Gramola, a music dock for macOS that is there when you need it. No more opening a music app to change what you're listening to; just move your mouse to the edge of the screen, and all your music is there in a gorgeous CoverFlow style, or ready to be instantly searched. Fully usable with a mouse, but also fully usable with keyboard, accessibility built in, and both Spotify and Apple Music support as well as local tracks via the Music app. Free to try for 7 days! I would love to know what you think :) Please feel free to…

It is built to work on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and was tested thoroughly on my Mac and lightly on my friend's Windows. Unfortunately, no one I know uses Linux. It works with WAV, MP3, FLAC, and Ogg Vorbis files.
