Media Player

Play videos already on your phone

Media Player scans your device for video files and brings them together in one place. It is suited to anyone who wants a straightforward way to browse and watch a mixed collection, rather than opening files one by one. The app supports common formats including MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV and MPEG, along with audio formats such as MP3.

Useful details for everyday watching

Video thumbnails help you spot a file before playing it, and playlists support continuous playback. The player can load an external subtitle file automatically when it has the same name as the video. You can also use basic playback and file controls, including play, pause, rename and delete.

Hardware acceleration and multi-core decoding are listed among its playback features, with support for HD video. Results can depend on the device and the video file, so support for a format does not guarantee that every file will play smoothly.

Move files over Wi-Fi

The Wi-Fi transfer feature lets you upload or download files between the phone and a computer over a wireless connection. It works through a lightweight web server and does not require special software on the computer. That can be handy for adding a few videos without connecting a cable.

What to know before choosing it

Media Player is published by Ellen Sweet Inc and is listed in Video Players & Editors. It has more than 5,000,000 installs and a 3.61 rating from 54,572 reviews. Those figures suggest it has reached a substantial audience, though the rating is a useful reminder that experiences vary. If you mainly need local video playback, playlists, subtitles and wireless file transfer, its feature set covers those routine jobs in one app.
