Outplayer

Best mobile implementation of mpv I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Light on the device, plays perfectly with all types of files, including some convoluted subtitles I tried out. App also looks great, and carries over the minimalist OSC look while modernizing it for iOS. Bummed out that there aren’t more ways to get media into the app, though. To dev: if you have the time, check out how Infuse allows you to connect to SMB or a local network to get files, as I think a lost of us might want to view a media library from our computers on our phones using this! Also, for some reason your app does not show up in the choices list when selecting a file to play (for example, an mkv brings up VLC, infuse, anda dumb few other choices, but not Outplayer!) Either way, the player itself is fantastic. Download this if you care about watching media on your phone.

This app is free, therefore I have zero complaints. It’s absolutely brilliant and the fact that it plays .mkv without premium subscription is awesome. Now, having said that, this is a list of features I wish Outplayer had and I would gladly pay for. - Download manager - Subtitle downloader - Resizable subtitles - Getting artwork and metadata from trakt/IMDb/however it works. - Gesture controls of volume and brightness And yes, I do know that Infuse offers all the above and more, but I appreciate that Outplayer is this good yet free, so I would like to give my money to its author. Infuse forces users to subscribe to premium just to play .mkv and I don’t like this approach. Keep up the good work, Stephen, I appreciate what you’ve done with Outplayer so far.

Really cool to see a solo dev release something that works so well! It plays any video file you throw at it and has a simple interface that is reminiscent of the interface provided by Netflix/Prime Video. I like the simplicity, but it has a bug/missing feature that's very frustrating. For some videos I play it either plays them with a black border all around or it scales them up so some video to cut off. There's no way to scale them to "Aspect Fit", that is, scale them to the largest size where one edge of the video hits the edge of the screen and none of the video is obscured. (iPhone X, and a video with 1920x816 dimensions) Also I wish it supported external subtitles but that's probably just me. And Chromecast support would be amazing. I also think that "prefer landscape" should be the default. Cool app!

I did not think any other player would be better than nplayer or VLC. However Outplayer has proved me wrong. It is the best player I have seen in a very very long time. For the next version I would request playback speed to be made variable in 0.1 increment.

The app that you’ve made is amazing by all means. Minimalistic, Smooth playback of videos, It has the option of swapping audio and subtitles but it is lacking in my opinion one feature that makes it a bit of a laggard against other apps similar to it (which VLC has). That would be the option to CHROMECAST it to a smart tv. I think that’s the only feature lacking in it that stops it from making it an amazing app!
