It’s also cross-platform ready for Windows, Mac OS/X, and Linux. UMPlayer has 270 audio and video codecs built in, including AAC, AC3, ASF, AVI, DIVX, FLV, H.263, Matroska, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPEG, OGG, QT, RealMedia, VOB, Vorbis, WAV, WMA, WMV, XVID, you name it, which literally ended the endless codec hunting nightmare.

If you find the default Windows Media Player that comes with Windows doesn’t fit your needs and are a bit of bored of VLC, you may find UMPlayer is probably your next default media player on your computer. It’s got dozens of advanced features and built-in codecs that can handle almost all media format that’s available on the market.

For apps that are now Universal, you need to indicate under requirements that they are universal, because there are users that may want to run native-ARM apps, if available (and if you own an ARM mac, why wouldn't you want to run native apps if available?).UMPlayer, which stands for Universal Media Player, is probably a fine build media play that fills all your needs. Maybe that means separate MU pages for each platform in the case of VLC, or you need to host both versions and offer the user a choice which file when downloading. So come up with a system to handle this new world we live in, every day that goes by it only will get more confusing. VLC is the first app I've seen that comes as separate installers, but logical to think more will come, for whatever reason a Universal app is not available (technical reasons, licensing, size of the executable, who knows). There a many Universal apps now, but if you look at the MAc Update page for them, there is no indication that they are Universal and requirements still say Intel-64. As I've been telling MU for several months you need to come up with a system/policy for how to document and catalog Universal and/or ARM only apps. The download you are hosting currently as of this date is the ARM version. VLC is now available in separate Intel and ARM (Apple Silicon) versions, with DIFFERENT versioning schemes.
