## What is Miner?

Miner is a native media player built for your personal video library. Watch videos from your NAS, computer, or local folders on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac.

No media server to set up. No files to download first. No transcoding. Add an SMB2 or SMB3 share, find a video, and press play.

STREAM DIRECTLY FROM YOUR NAS

Play videos straight from a NAS, Windows PC, Mac, or Linux/Samba share. Miner reads the original file without copying it to your device or sending it through a remote transcoder, so your video keeps its original quality.

ONE ENGINE FOR THE FORMATS YOU USE

Play MKV, MP4, AVI, TS, MOV, M4V, WMV, and other common containers through one consistent playback engine. Hardware-accelerated VideoToolbox decoding supports H.264 and HEVC video, including 4K, 10-bit, HDR10, and HLG content.

SUBTITLES FROM WHEREVER THEY LIVE

Use subtitle tracks embedded in the video or external SRT and ASS files stored beside it. Miner also displays graphic subtitle formats including PGS and VobSub.

Text encoding is detected automatically, including UTF-8, GB18030, and Big5. You can adjust the size, color, background, and position of text subtitles to suit your screen.

SWITCH AUDIO WITHOUT STOPPING THE PICTURE

Change languages or commentary tracks while the video keeps playing. Miner supports AAC, AC3, E-AC3, DTS, FLAC, Opus, MP3, and other common audio formats, with output up to 5.1 channels.

SEEK WITH CONFIDENCE

Responsive seeking makes it easy to land where you intended. Scrub with live picture feedback, resume from where you stopped, or watch at speeds from 0.5x to 2x.

A LIBRARY THAT REMEMBERS

Favorite the folders you watch most and see them together on the home screen. Recently played videos retain their resume points, while recently added items help you spot what is new. Posters are generated from frames in your own videos.

Optional background scanning builds an on-device index of your favorite folders. Search responds as you type without repeatedly querying your NAS, and previously indexed titles remain searchable while the server is asleep.

ONE EXPERIENCE ACROSS YOUR SCREENS

Enjoy the same library-first experience on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac. Browse folders, search your library, resume playback, switch subtitles and audio tracks, and control playback speed wherever you watch. The interface adapts naturally to touch, remote, mouse, and keyboard.

TRY IT BEFORE GOING PRO

Enjoy 10 free plays every day. Miner Pro unlocks unlimited playback through a monthly plan, yearly plan, or one-time lifetime purchase. One Pro entitlement works across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac.

Miner browses and plays the files you choose. It never renames, modifies, or deletes media in your source folders.

Miner does not provide movies, an online catalog, or a content download service. Bring your own local files, NAS, or SMB file share.
