Dacx

Play media with Dacx

Open local media, control playback, and manage a Dacx playlist.

Outcome

Open a local audio or video file, play it with libmpv, and keep related files in a playlist.

Install Dacx for your platform. AppImage, tar, and Flatpak packages bundle libmpv. DEB and RPM packages use the distribution’s libmpv package.

Open Dacx and choose Open or drag a media file onto the player.
Use the transport controls to play, pause, seek, and change playback speed.
Add more files to the playlist, or import an M3U or PLS playlist.
Open the audio settings when you need the 10-band equalizer or an external audio or subtitle track.
Use compact mode or always-on-top when you want the player to stay out of the way.

Dacx plays the file and keeps your current queue visible. It can resume a file from its previous position when you reopen it.

If playback does not start, try another file and check the package dependencies in Fix playback.
