Your collection keeps growing. The number of titles you actually finish does not. When choices become endless, deciding what to watch next can become the hardest part. Media Pro is more than a player. It combines the fluid experience of Apple Photos with professional playback and powerful tools for large personal libraries. 【Turn a Huge Library into a Clear Watchlist】 Keep your media in one unified library instead of jumping between folders and lists. Filter by watched status, favorites, download status, playlists, and media servers. Mark titles as Watched or Unwatched, then start with the first item in your Unwatched list. Finish one and continue to the next—just like completing a to-do list. Media Pro remembers the order in which titles were marked as watched. After completing your library, bring the titles watched longest ago back into your Unwatched list and begin a fresh viewing cycle. 【Powerful Media Management】 • Arrange media with drag and drop • Sort by import date, capture date, watched date, favorite date, name, size, and more • Switch between list and grid layouts • Resize the grid to browse more items at once • Search large libraries at high speed • View capture time, location, and map information • Batch mark, favorite, download, release, and organize media 【Fluid Browsing, Professional Playback】 Media Pro delivers smooth playback, zooming, panning, and timeline preview, together with the compatibility and controls expected from a professional player. • Play videos, music, and images • View Live Photos and image formats including RAW • Select embedded or external subtitles • Switch audio tracks • Save playback progress and continue where you left off • Use variable speed, precise preview, and fast seeking • Swipe vertically to move between media 【Local, NAS, and Cloud in One Library】 Manage local and iCloud files, or connect to SMB, WebDAV, NAS, supported cloud drives, and media servers. Scan, organize, filter, and stream through one consistent library experience, wherever your files are stored. 【Original Quality on Apple TV】 Send media to Apple TV in its original quality. Put your phone down and continue on the big screen, with playback progress, subtitles, audio tracks, and controls working together. 【Seamless Multi-Device Sync】 With iCloud, Media Pro synchronizes media information, playlists, watched status, favorites, sorting, and playback progress across your devices. Organize on iPhone, browse on iPad or Mac, and continue watching on Apple TV. 【Manage More with Less Local Storage】 Choose which media stays on your device and which local copies should be released, then download them again when needed. With sufficient cloud storage and network access, you can manage a terabyte-scale library while keeping only a small portion locally. Media Pro does more than ask whether a file can be played. It helps you find, organize, and enjoy the movies, music, and photos that might otherwise remain forgotten. Start with what comes next—and turn your collection into something you actually enjoy. ---------------------------- Monthly Auto-Renewable VIP Membership - Subscription period: One month - Subscription price: CNY 12 per month - Payment: Payment will be charged to the user’s iTunes Account after the purchase is confirmed. - Cancellation: To cancel the subscription, manually turn off auto-renewal in iTunes/Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. - Renewal: The user’s iTunes Account will be charged within 24 hours before the current subscription period expires.
