About

OliPlay Media Player

Features
Read full description

Bring your own server. OliPlay is the player. OliPlay opens the web interface of the media server you already run — Jellyfin, Plex, or any web front-end — and plays the video you choose in a fast native player built on the VLC engine. OliPlay hosts no content and ships with no sources of its own. It connects to your server, and to nothing else. YOUR SERVER'S WEB INTERFACE Your server's own interface, exactly as you know it, right inside the app. Press play and the video is handed to the native player instead of the browser. NATIVE PLAYBACK Wide format and codec support, multiple audio tracks, embedded and external subtitles, gesture control for seeking, brightness and volume, and playback speed. FINDS SERVERS ON YOUR NETWORK OliPlay discovers DLNA/UPnP media servers on your Wi-Fi and browses their libraries straight away. No account, no setup. LOCAL FILES AND OFFLINE DOWNLOADS Keep videos on your device and watch them with no server and no connection. PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF OliPlay remembers your position in every video and reports it back to your own server, so a half-watched episode still shows as half-watched in its web interface. PICTURE IN PICTURE AND AUDIO BOOST Keep watching in a floating window while you use other apps, and lift quiet audio up to 200%. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT AND NO PURCHASE DLNA/UPnP discovery and browsing, local files, downloads, and the player itself. OLIPLAY PRO Pro adds connecting to a web media server, sync of your playback positions and saved servers across your own devices, Picture in Picture, and audio boost. It is sold three ways, and any one of them unlocks everything: • Monthly subscription — USD 1.99 per month • Yearly subscription — USD 12.99 per year, starting with a 3-day free trial • Lifetime — a one-time purchase of USD 24.99 Prices are shown in your own currency in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings at any time.
