Love the app. Genuinely a game changer in terms of simplicity, particularly letting us use file trees, which I've wanted for actual years. Came over from xplayer when I got tired of it futzing around and not fixing actual problems. But just a heads up - most recent update caused the player to stop marking finished videos with a completed blue bar. It'll still track partial watches, but finished ones no longer display that marker. Please fix it?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Next Player is one of the best video players on Android. It has a clean UI, network video playback, playback speed, and a very useful Skip Silence feature. The only missing features are Audio Delay (Sync). Please add in a future update. This would make Next Player an even better video player. Thank you for this great app!
