SimpliPlay

It's a cross-platform media player, that's just simple, available on:

• Android
• iOS
• Windows
• macOS
• Linux
• Web
• Google Chrome (Extension)

SimpliPlay can be downloaded at simpliplay.netlify.app. 📦 This npm package installs the desktop version.

⚠️ This CLI is an installer only — it downloads the app at runtime. Internet required.

Installation

npm install -g simpliplay

Install globally so you can use it from anywhere in your terminal. If you installed locally, you can use npx.

Then:

simpliplay start
# or
simpliplay update

to install SimpliPlay.

Features

To display the current version of the installer, not the desktop app, use:

simpliplay version
# or
simpliplay ver

To uninstall SimpliPlay, use:

simpliplay uninstall
# or
simpliplay delete
# or
simpliplay remove

You will be asked for the file path of the app.

If you're on Windows

We recommend you enter the folder path, not the app SimpliPlay.exe, because then the CLI will simply use the uninstaller that comes with the app. Otherwise, it will manually delete the app SimpliPlay.exe, which may cause problems depending on your setup.

If you're on macOS

Specify the file path of the .app file.

If you're on Linux

Specify the file path of the .AppImage file, or if you extracted the AppImage and ran it that way, specify the path to the folder with the app's contents. If you're using the Snap version, this CLI is almost completely unnecessary and you can use either the snap CLI or the Snap Store desktop app to uninstall SimpliPlay that way.

Note: The CLI uses curl to download the app. If it isn't available in the system's PATH or isn't installed, you may either restore the old behavior by using:

simpliplay browser

or install curl.
