Powder Player For Mac

Powder Player is a powerful application designed to eliminate the need to use two different apps to access the content made available via torrents. The utility can work with torrent files, video URLs, Magnet URI links, or can simply load media files stored locally.

Since Powder Player integrates the capabilities of a torrent client, the app is capable of handling torrent files except that, instead of making you wait until all the data is transferred to your Mac, it will start streaming the video right away.

To get started, you can either drag and drop the torrent file on top of the Powder Player main window, or select the appropriate button and use the Finder menu to select the file. Note that Powder Player works with torrent files, but also with Magnet and YouTube links.

Once you provide the necessary file or link, Powder Player will automatically switch to the player area where you get to watch the videos. This way, you get to interact with only one application and avoid the waiting period.

Considering that Powder Player is also a media player, besides streaming torrents, you get to play video and audio files stored on your Mac computer.

In all cases, the playback area includes user-friendly controls: you get to start or pause the playback, jump forward or go backwards, adjust the volume, monitor the playback progress, or switch to full-screen mode.

Powder Player can handle playlists or subtitles, can stream the video to a TV, and offers you the possibility to set a sleep timer.

Below the playback area, the utility enables you to view the details associated with the torrent files, and you get to open the download folder in a Finder window (note that Powder Player places them in a temporary location).

To sum up, Powder Player brings together media playback and torrent management tools in order to create a smooth space where you can download torrents and watch their content almost instantly.

The Powder Player controls are fairly straightforward, but keep in mind that the project is still under development and does not feature any documentation.
