What it does

Just Player is an Android and Android TV player based on Media 3, with audio and subtitle selection, gestures and picture-in-picture.

Just Player uses Media3 on Android 6 or later and Android TV, with track selection, gestures and picture-in-picture. Subtitle appearance follows the device's system Caption preferences, reachable by holding the subtitle button.

Check the media before choosing it for a TV box. The repository notes limited SSA/ASS styling, no support for older formats such as AVI, WMV or Theora through the upstream player, and hardware limits for some HDR, audio and 10-bit AVC files. It focuses on video; audio-only playback is not officially supported.

Strengths

  • Track selection and gesture controls cover practical local viewing.

Watch out for

  • SSA/ASS subtitle styling is limited.
  • Some HDR and audio formats depend on supported device hardware.
