■ Great if you want to
・Organize videos by folder on phone, tablet, and TV
・Stream videos from a PC or NAS (Synology, QNAP, UGREEN, and more) over SMB
・Save frequently watched videos to bookmarks or playlists
・Use a home server (Jellyfin / Emby) and ISO (DVD / Blu-ray images) in one app
・Lock folders with PIN / biometrics and hide them with Safety Mode
■ Local videos (on device)
After granting storage access, you can browse and play videos in registered folders. Previous/next within the same folder and auto-queue are available in the free version (with ads).
※ On Android TV / Google TV, registering new local folders is not supported (register over the network, e.g. SMB).
■ Network videos (SMB)
Connect via SMB to shared folders on a PC or NAS on the same Wi-Fi to browse and play. Designed so large videos can stream without copying them to your device (experience depends on network, hardware, and file format).
■ 4K & high-bitrate playback (Pro)
Supports a playback mode for 4K and high bitrates. Large SMB content can also play more comfortably (depends on device performance and network).
