Wow, thanks for hunting us!Key features:
- Can play local, web and Bittorrent video files in all formats instantly.
- Embeds its own optimized VPN that is used to protect your privacy when playing non-local files.
- The app will automatically find subtitles in many languages for whatever you are playing (we’re very proud of our matching algorithm, from our tests it works better than current subtitles tools out there).
- Best part for the end, ALL of the above works on Chromecast and Airplay, just one-click away!
We've worked really hard on this over the past 8 months and we are very proud to have finally released our first open beta a few days ago.
We will happily answer questions of any kind, and please share your feedback and suggestions, we would love to hear them!

@sodaplayerapp Nice. Looks like WebTorrent + OpenSubtitles support baked in.
Report
Rarely have I seen such a simple and straight forward implementation of a video player. Adding .magnet torrent links was easy using the drag and drop interface. As opposed to BitX, adding a series link actually gave you access to all the episodes and everything connected and worked great.
I know's it's the beta, but I do miss a bit of right click menus...or any menus for that matter. I also tried a short 4K video that VLC plays that fine, but Soda Player just got stuck at the beginning.
All in all, I've only been able to test it on a desktop computer, I'm fairly impressed and looking forward to future changes.
What's on the roadmap for 2017?
Thanks.
