About Haruna

Haruna is a video player built with Qt/QML and libmpv, according to its project description. The repository describes it as an open source media player. The page shows installation through Flatpak from Flathub, and the directory lists it under Linux and macOS apps. The page does not name a release version or list supported platforms in detail.

The project page lists several playback features. These include video previews on the seek bar, playback of online videos through youtube-dl, a playlist that opens on mouse-over and overlays the video, and automatic skipping of chapters that contain specified words. Shortcuts and mouse buttons can be configured, and custom mpv commands can run at startup or from a keyboard shortcut. Building from source uses cmake, and the page states that dependencies are printed by cmake during the build rather than listed on the page.
