Noob Player 17+

Noob Player lets you watch multiple playlist at a time with tabs. You can set an option to set whether switching between tabs pauses the video playback of tabs so that if you want you can have it just like real TV.

Noob Player complements Noob TV and Noob Cinema perfectly, but if you don't have those applications installed you can still use Noob Player to open M3U playlists and media-files.

To open media or playlist you can copy paste the path or url into the search bar, or press the open folder icon in the menu to the right of the search bar. To play movies from your Noob Cinema queue you can press the down-arrow in menu to the right of the search bar. There you can also set a sleep timer to stop playback at a certain hour, and see recently played items.

The "pause" button in the menu allows you to set the global-pause setting, which if turned on will pause playback when switching between tabs, when turned off simulates television and keeps playback going when switching between tabs.

The playlist button shows/hides the playlist where you can play specific items or delete them from the playlist. You can command+click the playlist button to get the playlist as an overlay, otherwise you enter the tab/playlist manager. The tab/playlist manager lets you reorder playlists with drag and drop as well as moving playlist items between tabs. Press escape or re-press the playlist button to leave the playlist manager.

The icon with the box and the arrow lets you view all open tabs/screens at the same time and choose a tab/screen to watch. If you double-click this icon you get picture-in-picture mode, and you can command-click on screens to switch the main view in picture-in-picture. You can click on screens to switch to that screen/tab.

The plus button adds new tabs. You can also open new tab with command+down key.
You can close tabs by holding down the command key and clicking on the the tab.

The final button is the controls button which shows the playback controls.

The search bar can find movies from Noob Cinema and TV shows from Noob TV, there you can add episodes or movies to the end of your playlist.

When opening a playlist/schedule/movie in tab that has already loaded movie or playlist the content being opened is added to the back of the playlist. Make sure you open a new tab, if you want to have multiple different playlists/schedules playing.

If aspect ratio or video size is not in accordance with the player window then you can resize the player window and aait a second or two for the video to adjust.

If the video doesn't load or doesn't play, it's possible that the filepath to the video is incorrect or an external or network drive is not connect. Or that the filetype is not supported by VLC. Note that video only starts playing automatically when the tab's playlist is empty. Otherwise you have to open the playlist and select the item to play.

Double click video to go to fullscreen. When opening a playlist you have been playing recently you will automatically go to the video being played last at the last playback position.

Noob Player rembmers playback positions of playlists.
