mpv-android vs Vanilla Music
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
mpv-android
mpv-android is a video player for Android based on libmpv. Features: * Hardware and software video decoding * Gesture-based seeking, volume/brightness control and more * libass support for styled subtitles * Secondary (or dual) subtitle support * Advanced video settings (interpolation, debanding, scalers, ...) * Play network streams with the "Open URL" function * Background playback, Picture-in-Picture, keyboard input supported
Vanilla Music
Music player with a simple interface similar to the stock music player. Supports browsing by folder, queueing, shake-to-skip and more. Supports the same audio formats as the stock music player since the system media APIs are used. This is a fork of https://f-droid.org/packages/org.kreed.vanilla which is no longer being developed by its author. We keep that in the repo as it supports Android versions below 4.0.3.
