A Beautiful and Feature-rich Music & Video Player with Youtube Support, Built in Flutter
A Flutter-based music and video player for Android (plus Windows/Linux) that unifies local files, YouTube, and network libraries like Jellyfin/Subsonic/WebDAV into one app. It's aimed at power users who want deep audio control (EQ, bit-perfect output) and don't mind a sprawling settings menu to get there.
The audio path goes well beyond typical player apps: parametric EQ with AutoEQ import, bit-perfect playback with USB DAC direct access, 32-bit float output, and an actual 'audio path' viewer to debug what's happening to your signal. It also pulls local files, YouTube, and self-hosted servers (Jellyfin, Subsonic/Navidrome, WebDAV, SMB) into one library instead of forcing you to pick a lane. Device-to-device sync over local network (history, playlists, queues) without a cloud account is a nice touch most competitors skip.
The Contribute section admits you currently can't build the project from source, linking to a three-year-old open issue — that's a serious problem for anything calling itself open source. It's licensed under a custom EULA, not a standard OSS license, and explicitly restricts redistribution under a different name, so treat any fork/dependency plans carefully. The YouTube integration rides on a third-party reverse-engineered client (credited to an external contributor), which means it's one YouTube change away from breaking and sits in a legal gray area. The README itself is a wall of badges and meme-speak feature bullets, making it hard to get a quick read on the actual architecture.
