Videlyx is a video player for comfortably playing and managing videos on your iPhone. It lets you access videos stored on a NAS or SMB-compatible file server and quickly open and play videos over your network without copying them to your device. For users who keep their videos on a home NAS, shared folder, or file server, Videlyx provides a simple and easy-to-use playback experience. Once you register a server connection, you do not need to enter the address every time. Just open your library from a saved connection and choose the video you want to watch. In the library view, you can browse your video files in a clear list. You can also quickly access recently played videos and favorites, reducing the time spent searching for videos you were watching or videos you play often. Even with a large number of files, playback history and favorites help you return to the videos you need. The playback screen brings together the essential controls for watching videos. It supports play and pause, seeking, skipping, playback speed changes, and both portrait and landscape viewing. It is convenient when you want to enjoy videos on your iPhone directly from your network. Videlyx also supports a private feature that lets you protect items you do not want to show with a password. You can manage specific items separately from the regular list and access them only when needed with a password. This makes it easier to handle private items when sharing your device or showing your screen to someone else.
