corgiplayer - Stream videos directly from your network server

by•
I built a video player for Android that connects directly to your NAS or home server and plays videos without downloading. What it does: Browse and stream from SMB, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV mpv engine with hardware-accelerated decoding for H.264, H.265 (HEVC), VP9, and AV1 — per-codec HW/SW decoder control Auto subtitle encoding detection Gesture controls for seek, volume, brightness Background playback with media session notification

Hey everyone! I've been a long-time nPlayer user for streaming videos from my home server. But the Android version stopped getting updates, and it started showing its age — codec issues and no new features. I couldn't find a good alternative that did everything I needed, so I decided to build one myself. corgiplayer connects directly to your network server via SMB, SFTP, FTP, and WebDAV and plays videos without downloading. No server-side transcoding needed either. (Cloud storage support (OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.) is also on the roadmap.) It's powered by mpv, so codec compatibility is solid. H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1 hardware acceleration is supported, and you can choose per-codec whether to use HW or SW decoding. If you've been looking for an nPlayer alternative on Android, give it a try. Feedback and feature requests are always welcome!
