I am so glad I found this great app that deserved far more recognition and appreciation. It is simple yet powerful and able to support wide range of media files especially .TS and .TSV including subtitles. As it is available across different operating system, I am now using it as my preferred media player app on all my devices. šŸ‘

this app actually has the workings to be better than vlc and casting is seamless too, it deserves a 5/5 but I've got an issue with the audio player section it needs improvement the ui is too simplified, album art doesn't synchronise automatically on the notification bar and there's a very small delay when you switch to background play but overall play experience is awesome I mostly play lossless files since they're not compatible with native player. please fix this in the next update thank you

Offers more advanced features than most but some of the most useful - like the ability to adjust color gamma and contrast - don't show the changes while you're making them, which makes these features VERY frustrating. The sliders should be an overlay and the video should change whole the sliders are moved. A huge miss for such a great feature.
