Kantaris Media Player

Free and open-source media player

Kantaris Media Player

  • Free and open source media player
  • Plays almost all multimedia formats without the need for installing any separate codecs
  • Connects to an online subtitle database, finds subtitles that are a perfect fit to the played media
  • Plays RAR-archives without first extracting the media
  • Beautiful music visualizations
  • Plays DVDs and audio CDs
  • New exclusive feature

    The latest version of Kantaris has a unique new feature which to my knowledge no other player has, it can detect character encoding of subtitles by analyzing the text. This means that you never have to manually set the character encoding again. The feature is mainly for languages with “funny” characters, like Chinese.

    Version 0.3.7 reaches 100 000 downloads in just 5 days

    100 000 downloads

    Great news, Kantaris 0.3.7 has received over 100 000 downloads in the 5 days it has been out. That’s a mad number of downloads and I’m still puzzled over the cause of the increase. But I’m not complaining :P . If anyone knows anything that could contribute to the increase let me know. I would also like to thank everyone that has helped spread the word about the player.

    Kantaris is awarded 5 stars out of 5 in reviews.

    I have received mails from two different sites telling me that in they have reviewed Kantaris and that they feel it deserves the highest possible score. This makes me happy and I will of course continue to make the player even better.
