To play your files, you'll need a bridge

Omniphony's engine decodes nothing on its own. To play a given format it loads a bridge — a plugin that turns your input into PCM + object metadata for the renderer. The player covers common cases; other (and experimental) formats live in separate bridge projects that plug into liborender through the stable bridge_api ABI. No bridge for your format → no sound.

the player

mpv-omniphony

The mpv-based player with spatial rendering built in. Grab this if you just want to point a film at your speakers and hear it fly around the room.

Built on the mighty mpv media player — the player is all theirs; Omniphony just teaches it spatial audio. Huge thanks to the mpv project. ♥

the control surface

Omniphony Studio

The optional desktop app: a live 3D scene of the render, and the knobs to drive it. Runs alongside the player or the CLI — you don't need it to make sound.

Arch / CachyOS

On Arch? It's on the AUR

Skip the bundles — the whole stack is packaged on the AUR, built from source and managed by pacman like everything else:

paru -S mpv-omniphony omniphony-studio

mpv-omniphony replaces the stock mpv (provides mpv + libmpv) and pulls in orender — the engine package with the CLI and liborender.so — which you can also install on its own for a player-less setup. omniphony-studio is the Studio UI, using the system engine. Decoder bridges install the same way — search the AUR for the one your format needs. Movie discs with a video enhancement layer? Grab mpv-omniphony-fel instead of the stock player package: same orender decoder on an mpv master snapshot, plus Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL reconstruction (it builds its own libplacebo until the releases catch up).

Builds are unsigned — your OS may warn on first launch (right-click → Open on macOS, "More info → Run anyway" on Windows). macOS builds are Apple-silicon (arm64); Linux and Windows are x86-64.
