Adding Medias

While you can add medias from your local pc, this player truly shines at playing online content.

Playing online content

The basic principle is simple.

  1. You provide the url of the webpage which has some video/audio in it
  2. Player will try to find that video/audio and add it to the queue

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: As the user it's your duty to only download videos and audios which you are legally allowed to.

There are 5 different ways of adding online content

1. Copy the url of the page that contains media. And when player is in focus paste it (ctrl+v on windows/linux, cmd+v on mac).

2. From menu: "File > Open URL(s)"

3. Bookmarklets

You have to add provided bookmarklet to your browser favorite bar once. And then you can use it whenever you want to add online media

4. From browser drag the link of the page that contains media and drop it on the player.
5. From menu: "File > Import Media" > Urls

Manual parsing

If the player fails to parse media from the page, you can try manual parsing. In manual parsing, player will open your page in a window, you can try playing your media there, in the background player listens to internet traffic of that page and most of the time it can detect when a media is being played.

Adding local medias

To play local media you can:

  • From menu: "File > Open Files"
  • From menu: "File > Open Folders"
  • Drag media files to the player
  • From menu: "File > Import Media" > Local files

As the primary focus of this player is to play online content. Only following media formats are supported:

  • Video: mp4, webm, ogg, wav
  • Audio: flac, mp3, ogg, oga, opus, wav, aac

Basically if a media can be played in chrome/edge/firefox etc, then it should play fine in this player. That means avi, mkv etc are out.

If you want to add mkv/avi files then just convert them to mp4 using some free service first. Handbrake is great for that (free, available for windows, mac, linux).
