Movian - Cool alternative app for Kodi users

dewet

It would be nice if Firefly Team can also experiment with this nice media player app.

It has a very simple interface and works good with the IR remote.
It is the only app besides Kodi that also allows plugins for websites to stream content.
It is open-source so any one can add new features.
It uses ffmpeg hardware acceleration.
Currently hardware acceleration for this app don't work so good but Rockchip said they will work on some ffmpeg improvement. Then if ffmpeg is working on RK devices then pass-through code can also be added for RK devices perhaps. It will be a good alternative app for people seeking a very simple app that doesn't have new problems with every new release like Kodi and it has more features than RKVideoplayer that need new firmware updates every time to work better.

Here are also already some RK ffmpeg code

From Rockchip
"I download this app and try it. As you say, it's very simple and fast. Accord its codes, it use normal ffmpeg as

default decoder; In Rockchip platforms, there's a very simple and effect way to use hardware decoder, using default

Android user applcation API MediaPlayer! In this way , it requires only a small amount of codes can achieve the goal. And

we are developing the hardware decoder in ffmpeg now! Hope this may help you."
