**Local Video Library** — Automatically scans your device for all video files organized by folder. Respects `.nomedia`. Supports MKV, MP4, AVI, WebM, MOV, FLV, WMV, and more.\n- **Open With KTV Player** — Register as the default video player on Android. Tap any video file and choose KTV Player.\n- **Real-Time Stream Indicators** — Green/red dots validate streams in batches. Results cached with TTL eviction.\n- **Smart Categorization** — Auto-groups channels by Country and Category from playlist metadata.\n- **Custom Playlists** — Add any M3U8 URL or single stream. Stealth shortcodes for curated collections.\n- **TV Remote Ready** — D-pad navigation with visible focus highlights and color transitions. Built for Android TV and Fire Stick.\n- **Dark/Light Mode** — System-aware theme with Glassmorphism UI and premium color palette.\n- **Offline-First** — 24-hour playlist cache. WAL-mode SQLite with NORMAL synchronous for instant history and favorites.\n- **Deep Link Support** — Launch directly into any stream via `ktv://play?url=\u003cbase64\u003e` from other apps.\n- **Auto-Retry** — Failed streams automatically retry up to 3 times.\n- **Multi-Format Playback** — MKV, HLS (.m3u8), DASH (.mpd), MP4, and more via libmpv.\n\n## Architecture\n\n| Layer | Technology |\n|-------|-----------|\n| Frontend | Flet (Python → Flutter) |\n| Video | `flet-video` (libmpv) — MKV, HLS, DASH, MP4, AVI, WebM, MOV, FLV, WMV |\n| Database | `aiosqlite` (async SQLite, WAL mode, NORMAL sync) |\n| Network | `httpx` (async, connection pooling, limits) |\n| Liveliness | TTL-bounded cache (500 entries, 5-min expiry) |\n| Local Scan | `pathlib` recursive walk with `.nomedia` support |\n\n## Local Video Playback\n\nKTV Player now plays videos stored on your device. The Local tab automatically discovers all video files across your device storage, grouped by folder — just like MX Player.\n\n**Supported formats:** MKV, MP4, AVI, WebM, MOV, FLV, WMV, M4V, 3GP, MPEG, MPG, TS, M2TS, OGV, RM, RMVB, VOB, F4V, ASF, DIVX, XVID\n\n**Open With:** On Android, you can set KTV Player as the default video player. When you tap a video file in any file manager, KTV Player will appear as an option.\n\n## Deep Link Integration\n\nKTV Player can be launched from other apps via deep links:\n\n```\nktv://play?url=\u003cbase64-encoded-stream-url\u003e\n```\n\nExample from another Flet app:\n```python\nencoded = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(stream_url.encode()).decode()\nawait page.launch_url(f\"ktv://play?url={encoded}\")\n```\n\n## Legal Disclaimer\n\nKTV Player is a network utility and media player. It includes a built-in directory of publicly available, legal, free-to-air broadcasts. It does not contain, host, or distribute any copyrighted premium media. Users are solely responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to access any third-party networks they manually configure via the custom playlist integration.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnwokike%2Fktv-player","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnwokike%2Fktv-player","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnwokike%2Fktv-player/lists"}
