Why DintPlay is built?

So there are many video player in the market for tvOS, why i built DintPlay still?

The story of DintPlay is like many other apps, i want a video player app that fit my needs.

Less TV remote usage

We use TV remote to control apps on tvOS, and normally it will take you many steps to navigate to the item you want with remote touch pad.

DintPlay aim to reduce steps of navigation, quickly find the video you want to watch and play it with just a remote touch pad swipe and a play button click.

  • The first tab is up next, let you continue your watching on app launch
  • Recent items automatically gathered in Library tab
  • Episode playing index automatically saved for a folder item
  • Right button click will play next item of a folder immediately without the need to quit current playback and navigate manually

Audio, subtitle, font pair features

The audio-subtitle, subtitle-font pair features are useful too by reducing manually selection steps.

After the pair setup, you just play the videos and start watching.

For some audio, or subtitle language selection which not matched the pair, you can always manually select a specific track and DintPlay will remember the selection, so next item in the same folder will use the same selection when playing.
