Just (Video) Player

Android video player based on Media3 (formerly ExoPlayer), compatible with Android 6+ and Android TV.

It uses ExoPlayer's ffmpeg extension with all its audio formats enabled (it can handle even special formats like AC3, EAC3, DTS, DTS HD, TrueHD etc.).

It properly syncs audio with video track when using Bluetooth earphones/speaker. (I was not able to find any other nice ExoPlayer based video player so I created this one.)

Supported formats

• Audio: Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, ALAC, PCM/WAVE (μ-law, A-law), MP1, MP2, MP3, AMR (NB, WB), AAC (LC, ELD, HE; xHE on Android 9+), AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, DTS-HD, TrueHD, IAMF, MPEG-H
• Video: H.263, H.264 AVC (Baseline Profile; Main Profile on Android 6+), H.265 HEVC, MPEG-4 SP, VP8, VP9, AV1
• Containers: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, Ogg, MPEG-TS, MPEG-PS, FLV, AVI (🚧)
• Streaming: DASH, HLS, SmoothStreaming, RTSP
• Subtitles: SRT, SSA/ASS (limited styling), TTML, VTT, DVB

HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision) video playback on compatible/supported hardware.

AC-4 audio is supported on devices providing such system decoder (e.g. Samsung Galaxy A, S and Z series running Android 11 or later).

WRITE_SETTINGS ("Modify system settings") permission: When the system file chooser is opened, it will always use current system orientation, even if the Player app sets its own. Granting this permission via adb (adb shell pm grant com.brouken.player android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS) or App info screen will allow this app to temporarily enable Auto-rotate to at least partially mitigate this imperfection.

❓FAQ

How do I open subtitle file (e.g. .srt)?

To load external (non-embedded) subtitles, long press the 📁 file open action in the bottom bar. The first time you do that, you will be offered to select root video folder to enable automatic loading of external subtitles.

💡📺 Because of limitations on Android TV, Just Player is also able to open subtitle files from external file managers. You can open video file from your file manager, then return back and also open subtitle file in Just Player. Subtitle will be available in the last selected video.

Just Player is also able to detect some subtitle files when accessing videos over HTTP/HTTPS. Just use the same naming for video files as well as subtitles (e.g. video.mkv and video.srt).

How do I change subtitle font, size or color?

Open system Caption preferences on your device (usually in the Accessibility section of Settings) and you will be able to fully customize the subtitle style.

To quickly access the system Caption preferences screen, long tap the subtitle button.
