Recently added features to change the offset for audio and subtitles from video, which is nice, but also recently changed the way filenames display so as to show the starting and end, which is not nice. Now when I have a TV show downloaded, it shows the name of the show and the code at the end, but not the actual episode number. Please have it scroll or allow us to choose how we want it displayed via options

Great app! The interface is clean and easy to use. However, it would be even better if you added features similar to MX Player or Material Player. Also, the app doesn't display any videos until you manually select a folder or video location. It would be much more convenient if it could automatically detect and list videos on the device.

A great app, but in my opinion, I feel like the github version is a lot better than the play store version. I wanted to compare it with VLC, it is not bad for viewing content, not sure about listen to audio/ music like VLC. A good app as an alternative, but I would prefer the github version better.
