Your media player.
Fast, lightweight, shared.

Vorks Player plays whatever you throw at it, stays out of the way when you want to enjoy the video, and lets you watch with friends in one click — synced, with chat.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built on libVLC, so it plays everything from grandpa's AVI to AV1 4K. With a modern UI on top.

🎬

All formats

MP4, MKV, WebM, AVI, MOV, MP3, FLAC, OGG — the libVLC engine chews through any file or stream.

Quick start

From double-click to playing video in under 2 seconds. Async init means the window appears instantly.

🌐

Network streams

HTTP, RTSP, RTMP, MMS — paste a URL and hit enter. Works with everything from IP cams to live streams.

🎨

Themes

Dark or light. Both fully styled, with live preview in settings.

📁

Drag & Drop

Drag files or folders into the window. Subtitles are auto-detected and loaded.

🔖

Bookmarks

Mark interesting moments with Ctrl+B. When you resume a file you land right where you left off.

🔊

Audio EQ

10-band equalizer with presets, audio & subtitle delay adjustment in 50ms steps.

📸

Snapshots

Ctrl+S for frame to file, Ctrl+Shift+S to clipboard. Plus video adjustment (brightness, contrast, saturation).

🔄

Auto-updates

Updates are checked in the background and installed with one click. No manual downloading.

Watch together, separate rooms.

Create a room, send the 6-character code to friends — play, pause and seeks stay in sync, with built-in chat.

How it works

Everyone has the same file locally (or the same stream). Vorks Player connects you via a small WebSocket server — only commands are transmitted, no videos. Data usage: basically zero. Latency: 50–150ms.

  • Create, share and join rooms with one click
  • Play / pause / seek automatically synced
  • Live chat in the side panel
  • Drift correction: if anyone falls too far behind, they snap back automatically
  • No account needed — just a name and a code
