Just Player is a video player based on the ExoPlayer library/framework from Google. Just Player is fairly trivial right now - most work is done by ExoPlayer and I have just added few actions and controls here and there. The whole app is basically just a single screen with an option to load video - no library view or application settings.
Why?
Compensation for Bluetooth audio lag. ExoPlayer does that automatically, plays video in sync with audio.
All special audio formats. Thanks to FFmpeg, ExoPlayer can handle even special formats like AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, DTS-HD, TrueHDetc.
Free / open source
(Clean, uncluttered GUI)
I wasn't able to find any video player satisfying all above needs. I personally use nPlayer which does well with both Bluetooth and audio codecs. Another competitor to Just Player is SimplePlayer (also ExoPlayer based) though Just Player tries making the UI easier.
I also found out that VLC isn't able to play HDR videos properly (colors are washed out) or that MX Player isn't that able to play 4K 60 FPS HDR video without shuttering (even on Snapdragon 855 / OnePlus 7). Tested with "The World in HDR" video from Kodi Samples. This Player plays it just fine.
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
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 ()
Subtitles: SRT, SSA, ASS, TTML, VTT, DVB
HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision) video playback on compatible/supported hardware.

What's next
It's amazing to me that in just a few hours of work and few hundreds lines of code it is possible to create a video player that I actually can use. I probably won't be adding support for features that are too big for this little player - like playlists, media library etc. but I should probably be able to improve things like subtitles (it should be easy with ExoPlayer). So just let me know what do you think.
The app got suspended on Google Play for listing compatible subtitle formats.
Check the link - it's ironic because I reused the description from a Google library (for playing videos) and this is what caused the suspension.
EDIT: Fortunately the app was reinstated few hours later.
Great app, especially for the feature i am asking about:
There is a "timeshift" if i access certain free TV-Streams in Germany. The only program for the PC is a version of KMPlayer, which -and that's different- starts the stream up to -2hours* from now w/o the option to seek up to the "live feed" (i could save the stream-starting in the past or speed up the play speed but it's no fun). Just Player can seek to any point from -2hours* to the live feed.
Is that included by accident or on purpose, if so what is the name of that feature or how does it work - is there a "proxy mechanism" involved? D
No other player (i dare to say i know some) on Android or PC beside the 2 mentioned have that feature...and i would like to seek to any time* on the PC.
* the time to look into the past varies...but the last 2 hours is mostly true.
Example - probably geo-blocked: https://derste247livede.akamaized.net/hls/live/658317/daserste_de/master_1280p_3328.m3u8
i tried to find international streams but they go back 1Minte max.
Any insight would be appreciated
@ks123_reloaded This player uses ExoPlayer which is a library from Google, primarily intended for integrating/creating streaming apps on Android & TV. They probably care a lot about media consumption and supporting the ecosystem as a whole so they really integrate the streaming well. The feature you are asking about is probably something like this: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/87

sounds like it. Thx
Now my quest for finding the PC version can go on
Maybe I didn’t understand something, but E-AC-3 and DTS formats are not played on Ugoos X3 pro and Mecool KM6 delux (silence), but on MI Box S, which has a DTS license, everything is in order. So E-AC-3 and DTS can only be played with hardware codecs? Or is there some settings? Vimu plays everything on all devices...

If the connected device doesn't have E-AC3 or DTS capability, it should fallback to the FFmpeg decoder. This is managed (default behavior) by ExoPlayer so I suspect it's some device specific issue (reporting/detecting wrong capabilities). Currently there's no setting for that but based on the feedback, I will be adding that.

Do we have the list of the compatible devices?

Most latest phones have HDR displays, so does S20 FE - you can check here: https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s20_fe-10428.php
Only Dolby Vision is limited to very few devices.
I just wanted to say that Just Player is the ONLY player i could find as an android TV app on my Sony X900H TV that can play Dolby Vision and some other HDR movie files properly off a USB drive connected directly to my TV. The native player, VLC, Nova player, MX player, none worked ! Plex did work but i had to stream from my PC and it stuttered badly.
So Just Player has been a lifesaver It is amazing and so far plays EVERYTHING !
Not asking to get too fancy, but maybe a slightly nicer interface when navigating your drive to select files would be nice.
I have a request for this app: Can you the developer of this app please add an indicator in the video player that shows when a HDR video is actually playing?
When i'm playing a HDR video with the Samsung Video player on my Galaxy Z Fold 3, then it shows a HDR logo in front of the video name.
Adding this would be awesome .
Hello, thank you to the developer for this wonderful video player that I use on a shield pro 2019.
I don't know if it's possible but I will have 2 recommendations.
Movies in 23.976 fps switch well in 23.976hz but movies in 24 fps and 25 fps switch respectively in 120hz and 50hz for me. Would it be possible to change that?
Also, concerning the resolution, would it be possible to create an option to automatically switch the screen to the original resolution of the films?
Thank you very much and sorry for my English :s

That could be a long list
First of all I’m not the experienced IMS user, tried it several times.
- ArkMC is DLNA certified.
- ArkMC publish itself as a renderer and can get incoming playbacks, my old Xoom connected by HDMI to TV and I can send streams for playback from my Nexus 4
- ArkMC available in Windows Media Player “PlayTo” list
- IMS integrated with FB and Picasa, and its nice feature. Hope ArkMC will be integrated as well (if we get requests from end-users)
- When I tried to share 1 photo by IMS it shares ALL my photos, what if I don’t want to share all pictures?
- ArkMC doesn’t share DCIM by default, and you can setup in settings which folders should be shared.
- Also I didn’t find how I can add new video channel in IMS, maybe I did something wrong.
- In ArkMC you get the latest content form YouTube, and can add/delete channels.
- Also I didn’t find how to create playlists in IMS.
- Sometimes it stuck on “starting service…” on my Xoom.
- As for me ArkMC starts faster.
- ArkMC can stream few-several HD streams simultaneously
- ArkMC supports different network interfaces, and it's possible to select which one to use. for instance for Android box make sense to use Ethernet for streaming.
In any case iMediaShare is nice app, with good usability )

Until XBMC gets hardware support, this is pretty viable option. Good picture, and full removes the navbar on my nexus 7 for full screen. I CANNOT get it to pull all of the meta data for all films and tv shows though. XBMC pulls everything down perfectly. Archos is probably 80%. Incredibly annoying.
What's in this version:
IMPORTANT: MPEG-2 plugin must be updated to latest version to avoid crash
7.0.10 - January 11th, 2013
- Correct aspect ratio on some H264 video
- Add H264 Hi10p SW decoding support (animes)
- Add VC1 & MPEG2 HW decoding when natively supported by platform
- Fix camera video playback on OMAP4 (Galaxy Nexus)
- Add preliminary WTV support
- Fix wrong color conversion on some Galaxy S2/Note2
- Fix HDMI output on some devices (essentially Samsung based hardware)
First of, as far as I remember you could not post link to paid applications! especially as this has no free version!
Second, to comment directly on the topic, I think that, no matter how good it is (and I have the vague feeling it is not), to pay both for the application AND the codec is pure robbery! and, in the application page it is not written anywhere that you need the paid codec! you will buy the app and then realize that in order to be able to play you need to buy the even more pricey codec! yes, you put the link towards a free codec, but in my opinion it is even more confusing.
I didnt know we cant link to paid links. And you are wrong, the UI on this app beats others out there with similar attempts
Yes agree that codec price is rip off hence the link to the free codec
50% off sale now on
7.1.3 - January 24th, 2013

- Allow to use another video player application when launching the video playback (OFF by default, must be enabled in preferences)
- Keep database information (poster, description, resume point, etc.) for removable storage (external SDcard, USB drive) for 30 days. Restore it when the storage is plugged again.
- Fix UTF-16 subtiltes support
- Add more languages in the subtitle downloader settings
- Longer time-out for SMB discovery
Can this player work on 2.3.7 system. Did anywhere download for this syste, because write work on 4.0 or later.
Really needs more ways to sort. I sort my media by date modified to see what's new today. Alphabetical is nice when I know what's there already.
I use Archos Video Player in Sony Android TV to play videos from SMB shares on Open Media Vault running on a raspberry pi.
I dont see a way to resume a video from where I left (Resume button missing?)
But, I was able to Resume videos when i played videos from USB pen drive connected to Android TV.

Is it possible to load external audio track?
I have a mkv format video with internal ac3 audio and external mp3 audio track. MP3 audio file has the same name as vidio one, but archos player doesn't pick it up.
Hey guys, so I purchased this for my Shield TV and I love it for the more part, but I am having some annoying problems.
- Archos Video player won't let me add some files to the library, simply nothing happens after I select it. Even if it was in my library at first and then removed.
- Some files won't be updated with a poster, and I cannot find a way to manually update it! This is super frustrating.
- Same with backgrounds, cannot seem to find a way to manually update them, very frustrating.
Hi
latest HEVC with mkvmerge v11.0.0 "Alive" don't run with Archos Video Player
do you have any solutions please?

What kind of performance problems are you having? I know that some effects and some parts of UI can be significantly faster. Minor speed improvements can be done also to basic playback, however software decoding will always be slower than hardware. Maybe some day I'll add an option to use also hardware decoding but it will work only for some formats (however the most popular).
Looks good
Very nice folder based player. I'm impressed. Thank you.
Consider adding actions for tapping and/or long-tapping on songs in playlist, please. And option to hide or retract the menu.
It's cool to see support for different architectures! Will give this a go and report back, nice work dev.
Thank you for an audio app like this! I wish it was holo themed, as I am on a AOSP 4.2 build, but works like a charm. I am going to use this for a while, and i will update if I find any bugs or FC's.

There is an option to set buffer size (Menu -> Settings -> Buffer size). With large values there will be noticable delay, too small values may cause problems on slow devices. Try lowering buffer size and see if it helps.

There is gapless playback implemented, but it works only for formats that natively support it, for example vorbis (and if ffmpeg supports it, but it almost always does). There are plans to add support to gapless playback for Lame-encoded mp3 with gapless tags, however not in first release.

Currently touching on playlist will select (short), play or start moving selection (long, depending if touched song is selected). Would you like an option to reverse play/select actions or something completely different?

You're right. If I hold it long enough it starts to play that particular song. Sorry. In Tiny Player I was using, it was just a short tap to play. Leave it as it is now, please.
By menu you mean actions right to playlist (shuffle/repeat/...) or actions above control buttons (add/bookmark/...)?
Click to expand...

The actions on the right (shuffle/repeat/...). I'm sometimes unable to see the names of songs in full (not enough room) and must to switch to landscape mode. Hiding the menu will help a bit.
Thank you.
Tested on my GM( Galaxy Mini S5570) :silly: and everything is working flawlessly until i've loaded the eq presets then the music sounds jerkily
Features are good I am looking for such a app, downloading. will share my experience.
Thanks.
Looking really good, great set of options, love the minimal approach to gui, only thing i can think of other than things already discussed is an improved widget with access to main app from widget, cant currently do that?
great work

Good gapless playback is key to me and I'm still looking for a player that does it well. What I mean by that is dealing with older or poorly-encoded files that do not have the Lame tags to enable it, because we do not always have the luxury of re-encoding our music libraries (and I've found the problems can be especially bad in purchased mp3's).
I made myself a patch for rockbox that does just this, by trimming a limited amount of near-silence from the beginning and end of each track during playback. I'd be ecstatic to find an Android app that did the same.

no, because a local streaming service is missing. so you need a special chromecast streaming app (i.e. LocalCast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.stefanpledl.localcast&hl=de)

Wow, we have reached 1 Million of installs! Thank you!

Added codecs as planned. The player has become even more unique.
There are no separate codecs in Android. There are "modular players" that contain all these codecs themselves and concurrently reproduce content using the same codecs, because the algorithms for interacting with codecs are very complex. There to decrypt the container, match the codecs ... understand where the audio track, and where the video ...
Well, there are a lot of player modules on the Internet ... there were many candidates. Everyone has their drawbacks and at first I didn’t think of using ExoPlayer, but when I tried to use it, I realized that it is the best in playback quality and speed. Therefore, now it is used by default.
In the future, it is planned to introduce playback of torrent files. So I needed a module to play any video. It turned out to be VLC. At first it seemed very green and with bugs, but then it was possible to get rid of all the bugs and bring it to a stable state.
The application architecture is modular ... so I can add at least 100 different playback submodules.
All the benefits that were previously preserved. Along with the modules, new HLS, Dash streaming algorithms were added - which I do not welcome. They work without saving the file to disk.
The second ExoPlayer module plays content with improved quality. He literally does remastering on the fly. It improves the quality of audio and video, so it is used by default.
The free version 5.0 does not contain some fixes and codecs, and may contain bugs that are already fixed in the paid version.
Updated version. Bug fixes.
Updated version 5.0.3 and 5.1.3. Bug fixes.
At the request of users, the application is optimized for consoles. Including the free version.
The world community can sleep peacefully. The implementation and adaptation of the chunks was successful! Urgently buy USB flash drives in TVs and SD cards in phones! And preferably 256GB or so. Since the films are now huge at 80GB ..
This release completely redesigned the logic for storing data in the cache.
Now there are two kinds of files: integers and chunks. Chunks are cut whole files. Full chunks can be played in exactly the same way as a single file.
The speedometer showed a significant increase in recording speed if recorded in different files and multithreaded. Without this, you can forget about writing cache to external drives. Well, at least to files that are about large 5-10GB .. In this case, the speed increases already on files more than 200MB .. So this will be the default setting.
Finally, a new feature has appeared - file size comparison in the cache and on the network. Previously, there was a problem in that movies with HDVideobox had the same name, for example, “1080.mp4” and the file was played from the cache, even if the movie on the server was of a different size. Now, before downloading, the size is compared and if it does not match, then the local file \ chunks is overwritten.
Due to the new feature, you can now not overwrite files by their size, but overwrite the cache by its maximum size. Chunks, if not even downloaded completely, can be used and downloaded. For example, a 4k movie, accidentally turned on for 10 minutes and turned off, will weigh several gigabytes in the cache and this cache will be used during repeated playback.
On swipe to the right, a mechanism for joining chunks to a file appeared in the playlist. It is very convenient if you need to connect and send something. There is also an automatic connection function, but there are problems with it. It’s not possible to simply take and merge files in Android. Therefore, the player takes the first chunk and copies the other chunks into it. It turns out double-writing the file to disk. Whatever this is, you can uncheck the automatic file connection.
The player is smart - if there is one chunk, then it renames it into a finished file.
It is very interesting to observe the multi-threaded operation of the player by the size of chunks. There sometimes 5 files are written. Streams that download data - they also write to disk. So there are no more threads. They have become smarter.
The default settings for chunks are recommended. The default settings for new features for users updating the application are not being tightened yet. This is temporary. Therefore, you can configure or reset the application memory and get the "factory" settings.
Due to the sharply increased number of use cases and various combinations of checkmarks / protocols, bugs are possible. But if they are, then some small ones that I can correct during the day. Therefore, the algorithms will improve and adapt, as it always has been.
For tests of chunks - in the demo site in the wanted directory is the movie "The First Player Will Get Ready". Cinema 4k, weighs 71GB. Anyone can turn it on. In this case, the speed of the Internet is not important, since you can pause and wait for resumes, and it does not matter how much free space is available - the disk will be saved, only the size of the downloaded traffic.
Playback Blu-Ray 4k torrents for Android TV is ready.
Added support for MQA and Spatial Audio for all formats and devices.
