5KPlayer6.11.0

Play 4K, 5K, 8K, 1080p, and 360-degree video, DVDs, IPTV, and music from one application with 5KPlayer. It combines a video player and music player for Mac users who want a single place to open local media, including MKV, MTS, and other common video files. MP3, AAC, APE, and FLAC tracks retain their original audio quality during playback.

AirPlay can send video or music from an iPhone or iPad to a computer, mirror the mobile device’s screen, and record that display at up to 4K UHD. DLNA support makes 5KPlayer a controller, renderer, and server, allowing Android media to reach a PC or Mac and letting H.264, MP4, MP3, or AAC content from those computers play on smart TVs, PlayStation, Xbox, and other DLNA-certified devices. AirPlay accepts MP4, MOV, M4V, MP3, and AAC, while DLNA covers H.264, MP4, MP3, and AAC; streaming DVD, MKV, FLV, or AVI content requires additional auxiliaries.

Hardware decoding uses NVIDIA CUDA, AMD, Intel Quick Sync Video, and DXVA 2.0 to reduce CPU and GPU use during full-HD playback. The program runs on MacOS with Intel and Apple Silicon architecture, and its hardware-acceleration information also covers Mac OS X and Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. The current release is 6.11.0, and its freeware license suits home users, media libraries, and households connecting computers with phones, televisions, and other compatible devices.
