## What is SVPlayer?

SVP (aka SmoothVideo Project) converts any video to 60 fps (and even higher) and does it in real time. From the extensive community feedback, we learned that anyone who has watched at least three movies at high frame rates would never ever want to watch anything in the outdated 24 fps standard ;)

In-App subscriptions: Frame Rate Conversion (aka FRC aka HFR aka MEMC) is a PAID option after short trial period.

ALL OTHER FEATURES ARE FREE (yes, including MKV files playback).

Uses SmoothVideo Project (SVP) real-time motion interpolation (MEMC) engine, including:
* Target frame rate selection (48 fps, 60 fps, 120(*) fps, x2, x3 rate...)
* Flexible configuration
* Black bars detection and lighting
plus
* Can do high quality frame rate conversion (for example, using RIFE neural network) via a desktop PC/Mac running SVP 4 application.
* Built-in file browser supporting streaming from WebDAV, FTP, SMB, DLNA, Emby Server and Plex Server.

Please note that the SVP engine requires a recent and powerful CPU. At least Apple A13 performance level is highly recommended for 1080p playback with frame rate conversion enabled. SVPlayer WILL drain the battery like top games do and it MAY NOT WORK at all on old/slow devices. Please don't write bad reviews just because your device can't handle it.

Based on mpv video player which supports:
* All video and audio formats out there;
* Hardware video decoding;
* Network stream playback;
* High quality scaling and rendering;
* AFR (adaptive frame rate)
* HDR tone mapping;
* Audio normalization and equalization;
* Direct mpv.conf access;
* and much more...

See more info and desktop applications on our website!

(*) 120 fps support depends on hardware and iOS version.

### 1/5 — 系统支持太狭窄

*2026-05-23, version 1.5.2*

希望能重新支持ios15系统

### 4/5 — Great video player, a couple minor bugs

*2026-04-17, version 1.8.0*

An excellent mpv ios port with added framerate benefits. 
However, when used offline it will occasionally display an unable to verify licence error message which renders the player unusable until internet is restored which is unacceptable. 

Additionally, a connect to jellyfin option would be nice

Also, an option to reorder the bottom navigation bar and an option to move Svpcast to the video settings menu would be nice.

### 5/5 — Константин вы лучший. Нереальное приложение. Одно из моих любимых.

*2026-04-13*

Спасибо за приложение. Хз как это работает но работает.

### 2/5 — Unstable mess on iOS

*2026-04-07, version 1.8.0*

I actually have the full license on PC and was contemplating buying it for iOS and AppleTV but the phone client is god awful. It crashes constantly during navigation. Pressing the eject button crashes the app, navigating to directory and trying to go back a level crashes, opening a video, closing it and attempting to navigate crashes. It’s completely unusable for me. A real shame as the PC version works amazingly (though I wish you could specify an exact FPS target instead of multipliers).

Update 2026-04-07: they’ve updated it to make it worse. Can only browse entire movie library, can’t search. 

ABSOLUTE. GARBAGE.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly, UI is a confusing mess. Skip this.

*2026-02-08, version 1.7.0*

A truly cynical release from the devs. No love here.

### 1/5 — Svp

*2026-02-06*

На  Apple TV пишет - ошибка проверки лицензии.

**Developer response:** "Не хватает поддержки m3u8" - поток m3u8 прекрасно поддерживается. Поддержки плейлистов нет, да. "Не воспроизводит m4v" - переименуйте в mp4, будет работать.

### 2/5 — Unstable mess on iOS

### 2/5 — One major flaw short of perfection

*2026-01-27, version 1.7.0*

While SVPlayer for iOS carries over many of the same features from SVP4Mac, it’s held back by an app-breaking flaw: Every time I skip to the next video in my carefully curated “Own” folder, a big blue infinite loading overlay obstructs  my view of my video (which is otherwise playing back perfectly as I’d like). Clearly this is a bug, but it’s a frustrating bug nonetheless—and the only workaround I’ve found thus far is to close the app and re-open it every time I want to switch to a different video—and doing that defeats the whole point of the skip button. I’m happy to come back and update my review to 5 stars if/when this is resolved. As of this writing, however, the infinite load overlay that occurs every time on skip ruins my experience with SVPlayer to the extent that I regret paying money for it in the first place.

### 5/5 — pop view

*2025-12-18, version 1.7.0*

pls insert pop view option.very very god player

### 1/5 — Работает, но разочаровывает.

*2025-12-18*

Все хорошо, в целом, ОДНАКО!!
Прежде всего, самый главный минус:
 - «ПОСТОЯННО» хочет проверять «лицензию»
 
Разработчик, ну не уж то нельзя сделать, что бы проверка была всего 1 раз?
 Я не использую свп фильтры для «бутса фпс»
 Однако, когда я БЕЗ сети, не смотря на это, приложение не разрешает смотреть видео, пока «не убедится в лицензии»
 Это очень раздражает.
 Это буквально единственный основной минус!

Я загрузил это приложение, так как хотел mpv player for iOS . (И хочу до сих  пор)
 
Исправьте то, что требует постоянно проверку эту.
 - я повторюсь, я просто хочу смотреть этим «МПВ ПЛЕЕРОМ», обычные видео, без фильтра от свп.
 А для обычного просмотра, постоянно спрашивать о лицензии, поменьше мере , глупо? 
 Вот уехал ты на 2 недели, и у тебя нету сети…
 Получается, НЕ ПОСМОТРИШЬ СВОИ ВИДЕО ?
Так как постоянно ПЕРЕОДИЧЕСКИ, просит проверить лицензию?

А в целом, хорошее приложение.
 Мне оч не хватает мпв на иос.
влс - очень плох.. 
Исправь они эту проблему с проверкой лицензии - станет на порядок лучше!!!

## Frequently asked questions about SVPlayer

### What does SVPlayer do?

SVPlayer enhances video playback by converting any video to 60 frames per second (or higher) in real time using the SmoothVideo Project (SVP) engine. This results in a much smoother viewing experience compared to standard frame rates.

### What are the key features of SVPlayer?

Key features include real-time frame rate conversion, support for all video and audio formats, network stream playback from various servers (WebDAV, FTP, SMB, DLNA, Emby, Plex), high-quality scaling, HDR tone mapping, and black bar detection.

### How much does SVPlayer cost?

The core features of SVPlayer, including playback of all formats and network streaming, are free. However, the advanced Frame Rate Conversion (FRC) feature is a paid option available through in-app subscriptions after a short trial period.

### What are the system requirements for SVPlayer?

The SVP engine requires a powerful CPU for real-time frame rate conversion. A performance level equivalent to Apple's A13 chip is recommended for 1080p playback with FRC enabled. The app may drain battery significantly and might not function on older or slower devices.

### What is frame rate conversion and why would I use it?

Frame rate conversion, also known as FRC, HFR, or MEMC, interpolates frames to increase the video's frame rate. This makes motion appear significantly smoother, which many users find preferable to traditional 24 fps playback after experiencing it.
