Media Players & Servers
Media players and servers covers software for playing, streaming, and organising video and audio files. Listings include desktop players, home media servers, sync tools, and add-ons for streaming setups. What matters is the file formats and codecs each one supports, whether they transcode on the fly, and how they organise a large library across drives or devices. Some entries are clients that connect to third-party sources the tool does not control, so what you can play depends on what you are allowed to access in your region. Check the source rights and the licence before you install anything.
