If they really don't need external codecs then it's quite awesome. I briefly read their source code and didn't see anything similar to codecs.cpp, but do see a codedownloader.cpp.
I'm not clear what do they mean by the 'code' that they're downloading. If it's indeed some codecs and it's FREE, then it's fine. Otherwise, it's troublesome.

If it has built-in codecs as it claims for x264, AAC, we can not package it.

SMPlayer is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the award-winning MPlayer, which is capable of playing almost all known video and audio formats. But apart from providing access for the most common and useful options of MPlayer, SMPlayer adds other interesting features like the possibility to play Youtube videos or download subtitles.
After downloading the binary build and removing the mpv
bundle, it was unable to start a video as "Mplayer/mpv failed to start". So probably no codecs in this source, just an mpv
frontend and will play whatever mpv
supports.
