Archos Video Player

From Local Storage to Network Streaming: One Player for Your Entire Media Collection

Forget juggling multiple apps to watch your movie library. The Archos Video Player transforms your Android device into a central hub for all your films and TV shows. Whether your files are stored on your phone, a USB drive, or a remote computer, this player gives you a single, unified interface to browse, organize, and play them. It does not download or store multimedia content itself—instead, it intelligently scans your existing files and enriches them with posters, plot summaries, cast details, and metadata, turning a messy folder of videos into a polished digital collection.

Key Capabilities and Tools

This player is built for users who manage large, self-curated libraries. It focuses on playback flexibility and automatic organization, not on streaming from online services. Below are the core functions that define its daily use.

Network and Local Playback Across All Sources

• Play from your local device storage – Access any video file stored in any folder on your Android device’s internal memory or SD card.
• Stream from your home network – Connect to a computer, NAS (Network Attached Storage), or media server on your local Wi-Fi network and play content directly without copying files.
• USB-OTG support – Plug in a USB flash drive or external hard drive via an On-The-Go adapter and play videos stored on removable media.

Automatic Metadata and Poster Retrieval

• Scrape posters and artwork – The app automatically downloads high-quality movie posters, TV show covers, and background images for files stored on your device or connected drives.
• Fetch detailed descriptions – For each film or episode, it retrieves a plot synopsis, release year, director, cast list, and genre tags from online databases.
• Build a browsable library view – Instead of a plain file list, your media is displayed as a visually organized collection with cover art and categorized sections (movies, TV shows, recently added).

Extensive Container Format Support

• Play MKV, MP4, AVI, WMV, and FLV files – The player handles the most common video containers used in downloaded or ripped media.
• Support for additional formats – Beyond the standard list, it also processes less common container types like MOV, TS, M2TS, and OGM, ensuring broad compatibility with diverse file sources.

Comprehensive Subtitle Management

• Load external subtitle files – Automatically detects and loads SRT, SUB, ASS, and SMI subtitle files placed in the same folder as your video.
• Adjust subtitle display – Change font size, color, position, and sync timing to match your video file, with support for both soft and hard subtitles.
• Multi-language subtitle selection – If your video contains multiple internal subtitle tracks, switch between them on the fly without leaving the player.

Ad-Free Experience and Turbo Upgrade

• No in-app advertisements – The base version of the player includes zero banner, interstitial, or video ads during playback or browsing.
• Turbo upgrade benefits – Purchasing the Turbo add-on unlocks additional features: network share browsing, advanced audio codec support (DTS, AC3, E-AC3), hardware acceleration tuning, and the ability to play files from cloud storage services.

Playback Controls and Navigation

• Gesture-based controls – Swipe up/down on the left side to adjust brightness, swipe on the right side to change volume, and slide horizontally to seek through the video.
• Variable playback speed – Slow down or speed up video from 0.5x to 2.0x while maintaining audio pitch correction.

• Resume playback – Automatically remembers the last playback position for each file, so you can continue watching from where you left off.

• Stream from your home network – Play videos directly from a computer or NAS on your local Wi-Fi without transferring files.

Technical Disclaimer

This app requires an active internet connection to download movie posters and metadata. It does not download or store any multimedia content (videos, audio files) from the internet. Playback of network files requires a local Wi-Fi network connection to a compatible server or NAS. The Turbo upgrade is a paid in-app purchase that activates hardware acceleration for certain audio codecs and adds cloud storage support. Data usage applies when fetching metadata or posters over a mobile network. Age rating: Rated for all ages, but content played through the app is subject to your own media library.
