MP4 and WebM play in every browser. MKV and MOV depend on the codecs; AVI usually does not.It plays video files that are already on your device. You pick one or several in the file browser, or drop them on the page, and the browser plays them. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account.
You can add several videos at once and they play in order: next, previous, or automatically when one ends. The list lasts as long as the tab is open.
When you reload or close the page, the list is gone. That is a browser rule, not a choice: a web page is allowed to read the files you pick only during that session. Chromium browsers have an API that can remember file handles between visits, but this app does not use it, and Safari and Firefox do not offer it. The alternative would be to copy your videos into the browser's storage, which for a film is gigabytes and not something to do without asking.
The player uses the decoder that is already inside your browser, so it plays what the browser can play. MP4 with H.264 and WebM work everywhere. MOV with H.264 usually works. MKV works when the codecs inside are supported, and H.264 with AAC often is. AVI almost never works, and neither do older codecs such as DivX or Xvid.
When a file cannot be decoded, the app says so instead of showing a black box.
The file never leaves your device. The app stores two preferences in your browser: the playback speed and the volume.
Because a web page cannot keep a reference to a file on your disk once it closes. The browser grants access to the files you pick only while the page is open, so the list lives in the tab. Chromium has an API that can remember file handles, but it is not used here, and Safari and Firefox do not offer it. You pick the files again.
Whatever your browser can decode. MP4 with H.264 and WebM play everywhere; MOV with H.264 usually plays; MKV plays when the codecs inside are supported, which is often the case with H.264 and AAC; AVI almost never plays. The app does not bring codecs of its own.
No. The file is opened through a local URL in the browser and is never sent to a server. There is no account and no copy.
No. It only opens files you choose from your device. A YouTube link is a web page, not a video file, and the app does not download it.
No. It remembers the playback speed and the volume, but not the position, because after a reload the app cannot recognise the same file.
No. If the video already has subtitles embedded and the browser supports them, the native controls offer them. There is no option to load an external subtitle file.
Yes for playback: the interface is cached and the video is on your device. Once the page has loaded, no connection is needed.
