About this app

Subnext Player plays media from sources you connect yourself. It hosts no content, ships no catalogue, and has no server of its own.

CONNECT YOUR OWN SOURCES

Plex
Link a Plex account and browse your libraries, including servers other people have shared with you. Multiple servers merge into one library, and you choose which of your Plex libraries appear under Movies and Series. Browse shows down to seasons and episodes, and search your server directly.

Files on your device
Play video already on your phone or tablet. Subnext Player asks only for scoped media access and never for full filesystem permissions.

Folders you choose
Pick a folder and it stays available, including after a restart. Browse it and play from it.

Network shares
Connect an SMB share on a NAS or a PC and browse it like a folder.

BUILT AROUND NOT HAVING A BACKEND

No account to create, because there is nothing to sign up for. No ads. No tracking or analytics. Your credentials stay in encrypted storage on the device, and your viewing history never leaves it. The app has no server, so there is nowhere for your data to be sent.

EVERYDAY THINGS THAT SHOULD JUST WORK

Continue watching, picking up where you stopped
Favourites across every source you have connected
Search that covers all of your sources at once
Five themes, including one that follows your system light and dark setting, plus an accent colour

What’s new

On TV, the on-screen keyboard now follows the remote's arrow keys, so you can type into search and sign-in fields. With the keyboard closed, Up and Down move between fields and buttons, and Back asks before throwing away a half-filled form.

Continue watching is split: films you're part-way through appear above Movies, and episodes above Series.

A layout fix for Settings on phones.
