Project details

WorldPlay is a lightweight open-source Android streaming front-end powered by ExoPlayer. It focuses on adaptive playback, subtitles, Picture-in-Picture, offline support, and a privacy-first client-side architecture.

Native Android interface for fast discovery and smooth playback.
HLS and DASH adaptive streaming support through ExoPlayer.
Subtitle support for SRT, VTT, ASS, and SSA formats.
Open-source under the Apache-2.0 license.

Contribute

Contributions can improve playback reliability, Android UX, source parsing, subtitle handling, offline workflows, documentation, accessibility, and translations.

Review existing issues and choose a focused task.
Keep pull requests small, readable, and documented.
Test playback paths such as HLS, DASH, subtitles, PiP, and offline mode.
Explain user-facing changes clearly for reviewers.

WorldPlay Extractor

WorldPlay Extractor is the project’s NewPipe-style extraction layer. It is published on Maven Central so Android clients and related tools can consume parsing logic without bundling the full app.

Repository: %1
Use it as the media/source extraction module for WorldPlay-compatible clients.
Keep extractor changes isolated from app UI and playback concerns.
Publish and consume stable artifacts through Maven Central.
