1 ★ low-quality video app that lacks crucial features. if this were my only complaint i'd have given it 2 to 3 stars. However, it installed a program designed to enable pop-ups and ads that constantly pop up several times per minute - making it a nightmare to use the phone at all (Malwarebytes fixed this issue, fyi... ). i highly recommend avoiding this app or anything else released by it's developers.
1 ★ I think app will good but I never get a chance to see inside the app because the app is just crashes every time when I try to open it . It is crashing only in my device realme 3 or it crashes on other phone too.tell me don't waste time and data just install vlc media app
1 ★ There is a serious bug in this and the paid version where for an unknown reason it fails to load specific videos from a UPnP server. Its "file info" display fails with the message "Did not manage to access". This does not happen with all files, but it certainly happens with a significant number of them. There is no pattern to the failure. There is no way to predict when it will fail to load a video. Nothing in the video name, the file permissions, or any use of special characters in the file name. It seems that random .mp4 files fail to load. It is unlikely that anyone has access to all of the videos that they are streaming from any UPnP server. The same files fail to load whether you are using a Windows- based, Linux- based, or Android based UPnP server. Until this bug is fixed, I would not recommend use of this app on any devices. Worse: I purchased the paid version and saw the same bug, then attempted to contact Archos SA for technical support. Their website offers 2 numbers, both of which go to places having nothing to do with Archos or support. The people at the tech support number are particularly rude. Use this app if you are fine with not seeing some videos.
2 ★ Crashing a lot. Can't even open the app for a second. Loved this app earlier. Please get us a fix.
5 ★ Excelent for playing files from a network server, even with subtitles.
4 ★ Unfortunately on Nvidia shield 2019 pro doesn't work.. But with Sony TV it is working fine. I don't know why with nvidia shield has a problem? Any information about this problem
2 ★ UPDATE: just use nova video player! It's the same app, but not abandoned. ...Crashes on startup for me, too.my assumption: suddenly it is unable to parse episodes of tv series. If the string contains something like s04e05, then it crashes. Workaround: delete all data for the app and disable automatic identification for new videos. also, PLEASE FIX IT. :) thanks. (Otherwise, great app)
4 ★ Best video app butt... It would be great to have touchscreen capabilities like: Left screen up/down = brightness right screen up/down = volume one touch = play/pause drag l/r = rw/ff Also, when using a keyboard for play/pause, the bottom bar turns grey and stays grey even when everything disappears. I have to touch the screeen again to get it to turn black again. Please fix this. Thanks for a great app.
3 ★ I have been an avid user of archos for almost 4 years now and I have been very satisfied with it but ever since I upgraded a month ago it does not work on my new phone anymore. 😞 It opens thsn shuts itself immediately. The new phone is a brand called RealMe and its on Android 9. Does that have to do with anything it not working? Can this be fixed? I watch movies almost everyday and I would really like to go back to using Archos. Please look into this. Happy holidays.
1 ★ App is automatically crashing, lots of work needed, it doesn't open in my phone.
4 ★ lmao for some reason this app keeps detecting something that i don't have example: i have a video from r/blursedvideos and named DASH-480 and the app links to a tv show that i don't know other than that, good app
5 ★ Amazing! If you have a movie collection, this video player is absolutely the one to use. All the movies are displayed with the correct movie poster, plot descriptions and cast info! You can organize movies by way of name, movie length, genre, year, and imdb rating! Movies can be searched for using voice commands. Archos is available to download on Android TV and works perfectly on there.
3 ★ Started OK. It can't resume movies properly, once I change movie poster it goes back to the old one when app restarts. Cool subtitle settings feature, It handles any type of video that I played.
1 ★ Doesn't even start on Pie (9) or above. They completely abandoned this app... Including the paid version... Bummer. Really disappointed in Archos for letting us down. As of now there really isn't any other apps for local scraping, management, and playback, with Android TV support. I'll miss this app.
1 ★ Crashes every time I cast to TV. It was happening on my Note 8....then I switched to the S10+ and it's still doing the same thing! I can watch videos over the phone fine (that's why the 2 stars), but once I cast to my Vizio...crashes withing 5 seconds. Update: Dropped my rating to 1 star....the app is clearly broken, and getting worse ans worse. Now it won't even refresh the videos i have on my phone. And STILL can't cast without the app crashing. I go to the Help/FAQ and get an error message.
