Feature-rich Android video player based on libmpv.
mpvRex is an advanced, customizable video player for Android. It combines the versatility of libmpv with a modern Jetpack Compose interface and unique user-centric features.
mpvRex is a fork of mpvEx, which is based on mpv-android. This project aims to extend the core functionality of these upstream repositories with specialized features and aesthetic refinements.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the developers of the following projects, whose work serves as the foundation for mpvRex:
- mpvEx - Direct Upstream
- mpv-android - Core Base
- mpvKt - UI Inspiration
- Next player - Feature Ideas
- Gramophone - Design Concepts
