So pretty much every video player I tried perfectly plays mp4(and Avi etc) movies, series and anime with build in subtitles or external .srt files on my android and displays the subtitles. But when casting to my Chromecast the subs vanish regardless of video player/video format etc.
Now when casting to my Chromecast it will perfectly stream video and sound on all apps that support casting, BUT my subtitles are gone, in the android player they are there but when casting they are gone.
When using for example XPlayer on android (or any other video player like VLC BS etc) you can only use hardcoded subtitles or add subtitles if you download them through a videoplayer app that has build in search for opensubs, luckily this is most video players.
However! There is no subtitles for most older movies and series or any anime or cartoons on opensubs and no hardcoded versions either. So how do I get my Chromecast to stop removing internal subs and .srt files when casting from android?
Regarding Android's accessibility tools, the app supports gesture unlock and casting to Chromecast devices. OPlayer also syncs all of your media across PC and mobile devices. This video player comes in two versions: Lite and Pro, at a one-time cost of $2.99. Premium features include additional DivX and DTS decoders, as well as the removal of all in-app ads.
Archos Video Player can play various formats from a mobile device's internal storage, multimedia server, or external USB storage. Depending on the video file, there's also an automatic online retrieval of descriptions and posters.
Of course, users can cast through Chromecast and stream from various devices, including PCs and websites. Then there are the nifty features like frame-by-frame playback, which helps pinpoint a start point easier when watching a video on mobile.
Based on the above table we can see VLC is an Android media player for Android mobile users like Samsung, Sony, HTC, etc. to play video and music files thereon. Yet, KMPlayer is designed for Windows OS users like Windows 10's Phone Lumia, Nokia, etc. for media playback. Of course, it just lists out the basic information about KMP and VLC. There are still many significant aspects they have in common or different from each other. Well, let's have a look in more detail.
Tips: Though KMPlayer and VLC have so many matchless merits that beat others hollow, they also have their limitations, apparently. Look, gluing to play back video on Windows or Android mobile OS is the self-explanatory example. A slew of Apple mobile device users are crucially excluded by KMP and VLC. Fortunately, without laboriously resorting to any media player alternative, the considerate MacX Video Converter Pro can remove your bother easy as pie, which enables you to convert any SD or HD video to iPhone iPad iPod compatible MP4, M4V, MOV formats so that you can just freely watch any video on your Apple portable devices on the go.
At some point you will probably need to store a user's auth token on the device, so they won't need to auth whenever they use your app. This is a solved problem on Android with EncryptedSharedPreferences and iOS with the Keychain Services API. But if you're creating a mobile app using Kotlin Multiplatform, the KMP solution might not be as clear. Today we'll go over how to store encrypted key-value data with KMP without having to reinvent the wheel.
