### 5/5 — 好用的软件

*2026-07-04, version 1.0.16*

非常好用的软件，而且还免费，支持作者。提个建议，投屏可以做到播放的界面上吗，如果字幕外挂的话，投屏显示不出来。

### 4/5 — 播放记录

*2026-05-28, version 1.0.15*

webdav连接，希望能单独有一栏“播放记录”，这样进入app后能点击记录即播。

另外，可以加个刮削和海报墙功能吗？

### 5/5 — 建议增加息屏投屏

*2026-05-23, version 1.0.15*

投屏效果会好很多。感谢回复。可惜我用的是airplay，暂时不能用dlan

### 5/5 — Fire project

*2026-05-21, version 1.0.15*

This app is awesome! Thanks a bunch, will update with any issues but connects to my Emby server perfectly!

### 5/5 — 音频问题+功能请求

*2026-05-16, version 1.0.15*

非常良心的播放器！👍
1.播放本地音频音乐文件时，退至后台播放，手机不会自动熄屏。
2.是否考虑加一个关闭手势开关，有时候很易误划。
3.是否可以支持IPTV的txt或m3u远程订阅，订阅内容格式似乎有标准。

### 5/5 — The best… by far

*2026-05-12, version 1.0.15*

The best video library player by far, it has anything you’d ever want, if you combine it with Jellyfin is simply better than paid apps like Infuse. Thanks developers for bringing such an amazing product!
