It includes seekbar thumbnail previews for navigating videos and support for online video playback through yt-dlp. Additional customization options include screenshot filename templates, playlist metadata, and interface styling. Available for Windows and Linux, MPC-QT combines classic desktop media player functionality with modern playback features.
