Description

An Android video player leveraging the ExoPlayer library, this application utilizes ExoPlayer's FFmpeg extension to support a wide array of audio formats, including niche options such as AC3, EAC3, DTS, DTS HD, and TrueHD. It ensures seamless audio and video synchronization, even when using Bluetooth headphones or speakers. The player is compatible with various audio formats like Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, ALAC, PCM/WAVE (μ-law, A-law), MP1, MP2, MP3, and AMR (both NB and WB), as well as AAC (in multiple profiles including LC, ELD, and HE; xHE on devices running Android 9 or higher) and other surround sound formats like AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, DTS-HD, and TrueHD. Additionally, it supports an extensive list of video codecs, including H.263, H.264 AVC (baseline profile; main profile available on Android 6+), H.265 HEVC, MPEG-4 SP, VP8, VP9, and AV1. The app also accommodates various container formats, such as MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, Ogg, MPEG-TS, MPEG-PS, and FLV, and supports streaming protocols like DASH, HLS, SmoothStreaming, and RTSP. Users can easily load external subtitles by long-pressing the file open action in the bottom bar, and on the initial attempt, they will be prompted to select the root video directory for automatic subtitle loading. Moreover, the player features auto frame rate matching capabilities specifically designed for Android TV and boxes running Android 6 and above, enhancing the viewing experience on larger screens.
