KMPlayer

I love the app, but there are a couple very annoying things about it. The most annoying is that if you are not connected to cellular or Wi-Fi data every time you lock and unlock your device, it’ll reset to the menu screen and ask you to check your network connection, if I am shuffling an album and I lock my phone when I unlock it, then it’ll have the check your network connection notification and it will reset the memory of what songs it has shuffled and start over. The other thing that is not so much annoying, but could be improved upon is that it would be nice if you could sort items by album artist within the mode that you choose to sort items by. Like I sort my Contant by album but then I cannot sort them by album, artist, or artist, only sorts by album title. The first issue has only popped up within the past couple days so I don’t know what has happened.. I hope these things get improved upon because other than that I really do enjoy the app

By far the best mobile-device media player I’ve used. It’s easy to use and sounds fantastic. The only thing I’d like to see the developers change is that when you import an album of music that’s divided into more than one disc, that division doesn’t carry over into the app, meaning that unless you want to play all the tracks in that album numbered “1” in alphanumeric order, then all the tracks numbered “2” in alphanumeric order, then all the tracks numbered ”3” in alphanumeric order, and so on, instead of all the tracks of disc 1, then all the tracks of disc 2, then all the tracks of disc 3, and so on, you have to make a playlist for that album observing the division into multiple discs. It’s a problem for the user in an otherwise eminently user-friendly app, but it would probably be pretty easy to fix compared to other sorts of issues you see in other apps. Highly recommended.

Overall, I have really enjoyed using this app. I think that the player itself is quite nice to use and I like the Android-style material design. I also like the good files integration and the support for lots of different cloud providers as well as FTP and WebDAV. It also seems to have lots of other useful features I haven’t even touched yet! My only gripe has to do with the video steaming from urls. I find that it does not seem to do a good job with consistent playback on my cellular data. Just using Safari offers smoother playback. I don’t know if this has to do with my server not handling the way it tries to fetch video well or if this app is just bad at properly streaming video (like if this app is using youtube-dl when it should have updated to yt-dlp) or if there is a problem with how the buffering is implemented. I also was unable to find away to set the http refer for video steaming from urls (like mpv’s —referrer switch), but this is not as big of a deal since I was not really expecting it. But yeah. I think that it is a good app and I will continue to use it (unless ad are added: I hate ads).
