mplayer2

mplayer2 is an open source media player developed as a fork of the original MPlayer project. It is capable of playing almost any multimedia file format, including AVI, MP4, MOV, 3GP, MPG, MKV, MPEG, WMV, and more. It is also capable of playing many audio file formats, including MP3, OGG, AAC, WMA, and FLAC.

Features:

• Playback of almost any multimedia file format, including AVI, MP4, MOV, 3GP, MPG, MKV, MPEG, WMV, and more

mplayer2 offers a lightweight, fast and highly configurable player with precise seeking and better Matroska support than MPlayer.
