VideoHaven

A video player for iPhone and iPad that plays what the others won't — and streams straight off your NAS. PLAYS ANYTHING Built on libVLC, so MKV, AVI, WebM and HEVC just open. No converting, no hunting for codecs. Old XviD or DivX file showing a green picture? Switch decoding to software and it plays. YOUR NAS, WITHOUT COPYING Connect over SMB and play films straight from the server over Wi-Fi — even big 4K files. Pin a folder and it waits for you at the top of Network. PICKS UP WHERE YOU STOPPED Continue watching remembers your position — for films on your device and on the NAS alike. SUBTITLES THAT BEHAVE Put a matching .srt or .ass file next to the video and it loads by itself. Nudge the timing by 0.25 s, set size and colour, and subtitles that aren't in UTF-8 still come out right. OUT OF THE WAY The controls hide so the film has the screen. Drag sideways to move through it, up or down on the left for brightness and on the right for volume, double-tap an edge to skip 10 seconds, drag down to close. Fit, zoom or fill with one tap. A sleep timer for the nights the film wins — and a help screen in the app with every gesture. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR FILES Add videos from the Files app or drop them into the VideoHaven folder. A sample film is included, so you can try it straight away. Built on libVLC and other open-source software; the full licences and a link to the sources are in the app. No ads, no account, no subscription, no tracking.
