Great for exhibitions and events! A simple video player that plays videos in a loop. --- Added Picture-in-Picture (PiP), allowing you to watch videos while enjoying other apps. Also added a sound-only mode with background playback, so you can keep listening even while using other apps. --- I just want to play videos in a loop at events such as indie game events and Comiket, but there is no simple video playback option! This is an app for those people. Easy to use! Simply select a video file to start loop playback. Support file format ・mp4 ・mov ・m4v
