Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. Files are played directly from your device by your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there are no accounts, ads or tracking.

Which file formats can it play?

Anything your browser can decode: usually MP4 (H.264, H.265 on supported hardware, AV1), WebM, MKV, MOV, OGG, MP3, M4A, WAV and FLAC. Chrome and Edge support the most formats.

How do I add subtitles?

Drop an .srt or .vtt file onto the player, or drop it together with the video. Subtitles with the same file name as the video are matched automatically. You can shift the timing and change the text size from the subtitles menu.

Does it remember where I stopped?

Yes. Your position and speed are saved in your browser, and partly watched videos appear in the Continue Watching shelf. In Chrome and Edge one click reopens the file; in other browsers you pick the file again and it resumes.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After your first visit the player works without an internet connection, and you can install it as an app. It is also available as a Chrome extension.

Stretch to fill

The stretch adapts to your screen and window size. If filling would distort a video more than this, it is left as is.
