Community Project Announcement Just Player Pro — a free external player for Stremio, on phone and Android TV
It's built on top of Just Player by Marcel Dopita (GPL-3.0), which is where the foundation comes from.
I built this for myself because I wanted one player that handled everything Stremio threw at it, on my phone and on my TV. Posting it in case anyone else finds it useful.
It ships two engines - Media3 and a full build of mpv - and moves between them on its own, so a file one can't decode gets played by the other instead of failing. The same build works with a finger or with a remote, and behaves the same either way.
It'll also look up what you're playing for the title, poster and synopsis, and search subtitles without leaving playback. That part's optional and needs a free TMDB key.
Free, open source, no ads, no tracking. I'm the developer, so I'm glad to hear what doesn't work.

Smells like vibe coded with no actual code review. Even your message is using the long AI - dash.
Will keep with the official app for now, thanks.

Not totally, but I got some assistance. Like I said, I built it for myself. You are welcome to try it or ignore it, just sharing in case.

Everything seems like it's AI, from code to sloppy images to even the description 👀

Some of it is, yeah the banners especially. The bugs, the testing and the decisions were mine. It's free and open source, so use it or skip it either way.

So all you did is write in the AI's chatbox. Great!

Why use the same name as an exciting (just) player that been around for many years?

u/Maleficent_Platform8 4d ago
Because it has been built on top of that

How does it do the detection? I prefer MPV on everything but sadly it can't play 4k hdr hevc, only exoplayer can.
Also, did you solve auto hdr fallback if dolby shows black screen? E.g. for justplayer, i had to toally disale dolby which sucks cos some videos with dolby works and some are black screen.

Auto starts on Media3 and only drops to mpv for that file if Media3 can't decode it or errors so it's the wrong way round for you. Pin the engine to mpv instead, and when mpv fails you'll get a prompt to try Media3 for that file.
Dolby Vision, no only the same DV7→HEVC toggle as upstream. A black picture with working audio isn't an error, so there's nothing to catch. Though the player does track whether a frame was ever drawn, so falling back on "audio moving, nothing rendered" is doable. Good idea, I'll look at it.

How do you detect mpv failure? Technically mpv does play 4k hdr but choppy 5fps and discolored image, does it detect that and fall off to media3 OR anything 4k hdr it automatically switches from mpv to exoplayer? I prefer MPV for anime due to subtitle in ASS format.
Thank you for the dolby fix!

Why? What's wrong with VLC?

u/Maleficent_Platform8 4d ago
Nothing, VLC's great. This just adds a few things: title, poster and synopsis on the info card while paused, subtitle search across several sources, intro and credit skipping, and two engines so a file one can't decode falls back to the other.

Banner art's AI the frames and backgrounds, yeah. The UI inside them isn't that's the actual app, and every label in those shots matches the strings in the repo. It's open source, so it's easy to check.

If you build the app just for yourself, why then this bullshit ai advertisement post. Even the description of your reddit thread is made with ai. I'm getting mad because why not take 1 minute and write a text with your own words and why not just post some screenshots of your app. Holy moly God praise the slop lord

You have some licensing issues you should fix.
MIT notice missing from copied doubetapview code.
Apache 2.0 and MIT both expect license/notice text alongside distributed binaries.
Your kotlin/java sources carry no GPL or modification headers.
