MPV Remote

MPV Remote is an open-source Android application for managing and accessing media through an MPV setup. It includes media collection management for organizing content that is available to the application. Files can be opened from a host computer, while network storage can provide another source for media.

The application can store playback status and viewing time on the host machine. This allows playback to continue from a position saved during an earlier session. These functions make the host computer part of the way media access and viewing progress are handled.

When youtube-dl is available as required by the setup, MPV Remote can open YouTube videos. Users can also send a video from the YouTube application through its share function. Other applications can pass online streams to MPV Remote, so the app can act as a control and handoff point for online media that MPV can access.

MirrorNest lists MPV Remote in its Internet & Browsers category because it receives online media and works with streams passed from other applications. MirrorNest stores a direct mirror of the official Android build and scans it for malware before publishing it. The project documentation should be consulted for setup instructions, particularly when connecting the app to MPV or using functions that depend on the host computer or youtube-dl.
