Official Release

You can easily download the latest development snapshot from the Continuous release.

• a Windows Installer
• a Mac OSX Dmg archive
• GNU/Linux AppImage

From sources

This section is meant only for experienced users.

If the provided release does not suit you (e.g. because your favorite streaming service require a version of QtWebEngine built with proprietary codecs enabled), you can build MellowPlayer from sources using your own qt version if needed.

MellowPlayer make the easy and fast way.

---

To make testing MellowPlayer easier and faster, we offer a script for you to create and test MellowPlayer. Everything you need for testing is delivered with the script. You can use the script to install the following dependencies for the different systems:

• Ubuntu 17.10
• Arch Linux

If you have installed all dependencies it is possible to create MellowPlayer using the script. After starting the script, simply enter the number e. g. 3 to create MellowPlayer.

Download the script: https://gitlab.com/ZeroDot1/Bash_my_little_collection/raw/master/Build_Software/MellowPlayerEasyCreation.sh
