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.
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)
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.
Good, but could be better. The non-scraped videos stored on my NAS are difficult to edit. I cannot find descriptions for episodes of The Twilight Zone tv series, therefore I cannot add to my library. Stephen King's Salem's Lot shows 'A Return to Salem's Lot' and can't be changed. A manual override to enter your own artwork and description would be useful.
This app used to work great. I even purchased the premium upgrade. Suddenly, the app stopped working. Wont open. Just crashes. I tried reinstalling it now since i have a new device but same problem. I suggest to the developer to just remove this app from the store. There has been no updates for a very long time. I hope i could get a refund.
useless :( when trying to play lectures with naming pattern 00.mkv - 99.mkv weird title names and images are listed on screen. Big turn off not able to identify clearly labelled videos, because of a misbehaving `feature`: fetching names of movies from the internet. Otherwise it looked as a decent work, and would have paid the developer gladly for his contribution. Now I have to go on to find one that actually plays videos... :( please be sure that fancy features are robust enough to be in production, or at least provide option to disable them.
Its the best app i've ever used after trying out almost every video player app available that also downloads video info, cover, and descriptions. I'd give 5 stars plus if the extra downloadable video info was more editable. Many times i'd try to get it to recognize and download the video/movie info also by using rescan and it does nothing or wont download the movie pic. I wish I could add/edit a DVD pic and the movie info for a movie/video myself for ones that don't download automatically.
Great app, using it all the time but sometimes it's buggy, and needs a restart in Apps. Also new bug in the app is that you can't setup rescan/indexing storage for movies, you have the option but it always says None. I tried yo setup once per day but it says none....please check it and fix it.
was my favorite means of watching locally stored movies until it randomly stopped supporting DTS 5.1, bought it and it still didn't work, unfortunately the best designed app and easiest to use out of literally everything available for Android TV, not a single other application is nearly as refined, but I think I'll stick to the unstable Samsung TV app, I'd rather use nothing at all at this point.
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.
App Crashes on Launch, I have used this for several years but stopped using at least a year ago as it crashes on launch. Decided today to try again and the problem still exists, even when I uninstall and reinstall. Sent a log file today but hope you can help resolve.
Downloaded this today. App launches and loads for almost a second so that I can see the menu on the left but crashes. It shows as still running in the background, but if you try to go to it, it crashes again.
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. π 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.
All video formats on my S9 plus are half a second OUT OF SYNC with audio/video when all other major video players are absolutely perfect. This is info that you may look into this issue as it's clearly not my phone when Archos is the only player to falter. Kindest
Not going to give it 1 star as I appreciate your work you put into a great app but please fix the issue will the latest Android TV update (ver9 feb2020) won't even open. When working it's a great app only other complaint is media art is sometime off but still works great. Thanks
everything is great...if you could add the option to select media files from a specific folder instead of searching both the storages, it would be really great. Also, it ignores .nomedia file...
Excellent video player, one of the best I' ve used. One of the very few which has a facility to boost sound, in case the download sound is of poor quality. Very good and thoroughly recommended.
I've been using this app on my Nvidia Shield TV. Nvidia just upgraded the software & now this app is not working! Won't fully scan or show videos on my hard drive like it did before! Was great before as it was awesome to see all my videos by year & genre! Hoping an update is coming to fix this!
it would be better if it work I don't know where is the problem it can't play the movies it only play normal videos and I didn't download it for that hope you fix it and if it got fixed there are problems in playing the video every thing is very old like there is no gestures like smsng video player you should also make the background gray or black for amoled displays but if it play movies like it should it would be so so good cus I really like this movie cover and this movie description
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
The app keeps crashing on my Android TV. Please do something this is the only player I can use on my dony tv. It's an awesome app. I reset my tv to factory settings and it still does the same.
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.
What happened? has this app been abandoned? No longer finding artwork for Media / TV shows on android 6 and other devices on android 8 and 9 π€·π»ββοΈ USB media finding is now very hit and miss and fails quite often to rescrape or rescan all media A complete uninstall and reinstall it just force closes on opening π€·π»ββοΈ Some of us actually paid for this app and its now pretty much useless π
Hello, I have android tv 9.0 on my Skyworth 65UB7500 4K TV. I installed your app from the official google play store. The app closes as soon as I open it. Forced stop, uninstalled, rebooted TV, installed it again, same issue. Can't use it. Read good thinga about this app. Disappointed.
Video playback is good..But it's not playing all the songs in a folder automatically.For every song finishes it comes with pop-up and manually we have to play next song in the folder which getting irritated.
Not compatible with Android 11. This was working until I updated to Android 11 about a week ago. Keeps crashing when opening. Uninstalled and installed again still crashing.
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.
