Pi Video Player - Media Player

Local video playback without the clutter

Pi Video Player - Media Player is an Android video player for watching files stored on your device. It is aimed at people who want one app for common video formats, rather than switching between players when a file uses a different format. A folder browser helps you find clips and films by location, while playback can resume from the last position.

Controls built around watching

The player includes the usual play, pause, seek, rewind and forward controls, along with screen lock, orientation and aspect-ratio options. Gesture controls let you adjust brightness, volume and playback position from the viewing screen. Headset controls are also supported, which is useful when the phone is connected to headphones or a speaker.

Useful for films and longer videos

Pi Video Player supports HD playback, including high-resolution videos up to 4K and 8K where the device and file allow it. Subtitle files can be loaded for supported videos, and a dark theme is available for lower-light viewing. Its folder-based approach makes more sense for a personal video library than for services built around online recommendations.

Track record on Google Play

Developed by 100Pi Labs, the app sits in the Video Players & Editors category. It has a 4.27 rating from 39,297 reviews and has passed 10,000,000 installs. Those figures make it a well-established choice for Android users who mainly need straightforward playback for locally stored video files.
