OPlayer Lite - media player Reviews

Made the mistake of updating OPlayerLite and now there is a permanent ad banner on the video screen. The version before didn’t have this so why now? You can’t even remove it as it stays there permanently blocking the video you’re watching since they didn’t even put it in a place that doesn’t block the actual video you’re watching. This is such an annoying feature. I wish I had not updated it. I understand that as a free app they need to make money and that isn’t an issue. Just do what other developers do and have an ad banner that can be removed or at least one that will disappear after the ad finishes playing. Instead these developers choose to keep the annoying ad banner on top of the video window obscuring the actual video you are trying to watch. Upgrading by paying to remove ads is the only way to get rid of the banner. This is the most annoying feature from what is usually a pretty good network media player. In light of this I’ve installed two new players - nPlayer Lite and Infuse who both display ads in a more tasteful way and both still allow me to stream videos from my NAS. I’ll be removing OPlayer Lite now.

Great app. How can I rename a playlist? I can duplicate playlists, re-order songs, etc, but cannot find a way to change the name of a playlist. I can click the paper-pencil icon to edit the order of songs but it does not allow the title to be edited.

Hoping that OPlayer continues to be updated!

I use the AB loop, playback speed, and WiFi transfer all the time. It makes it possible to share (my own original) music with friends and band mates, when I would otherwise not be able to do so with native apple apps.

Still haven’t figured out how to reorganize songs in a playlist. If you copy, for example, the songs from the album Abbey Road, by the Beatles, in the wrong order to a playlist, I can find a way to reorder them other than just starting over and make sure it goes track 1.2.3.4 etc...

Update: per Devs recommendation, songs in playlist can be reorganized. Tap ‘edit’ then hold 3 horizontal marks to right of selection and drag up or down. Brilliant! Thank you!

I’m using this for music playback while driving, so maybe the joke’s on me (maybe this is more for movies?). The music playback is stopping as soon as I exit the player screen, e.g. to browse more music to add to playlist. Would be nice to have “always playing something” mode.

Leaving OPlayerLite or locking the screen also stops the playback—until tapping the screen, then it resumes. Strange.

Playing / adding a folder with subfolders does nothing. Only leaf folders work correctly. I have my music organized by genre, artist and year in four level hierarchy so this is really annoying, having to enter each folder manually.

Playing all files in a folder or adding to playlist does not sort the files in the folder by their track (or even alphabetically). So they will just play randomly, based on how they were copied to the phone (the playback order is filesystem dependent at that point).

All in all I’m happy with what this does for me. Though it seems very basic features are missing after 8 years of development.

OPlayerLite makes it extremely easy to transfer video files to it, having multiple methods. It can play nearly any video format without conversion, as well as play all videos continuously, or custom playlists. I highly recommend upgrading to the full version. With my jailbroken iPad, I can use the camera connection kit, iFile & an SD card, putting videos on the card, creating aliases, then pasting the aliases into the right folder so OPlayerLite can play the files without using space on the iPad itself.

I've been trying to find an app that stays connected on an iPad and doesn't try to shove selling you to buy OPlayerLite down your throats after every song. I also wanted an app that sorts my playlist correctly (not just alphabetical). So far this has been solid and connects to my home network easily. I use mediamonkey for the dlna/upnp with OPlayerLite as the front end. If it stays solid another week I will buy it.

Better than the other apps I've tried...

This is now my main video app. No more converting to deal with Apple's silly refusal to include popular video codecs in iOS.

I’ve had a few avi's fail to stream correctly. Surprise. I have very few avi's as I avoid them like a plague. So that issue is of no consequence for me. Very large BD mkv rips play fine on an iPad mini 4 and iPad 6th Gen.

Gee, Contacts and Calendar are the only Apple apps I use these days. Probably time to replace those as well. But I have 36 updates, for each of 5 iOS devices and I’ve spent the last 4 hours trying to download 12.1.4 without a timeout causing me to to start all over again. All my devices are on 12.1.3. Why does it take 3 separate downloads — 3 different flavors of iOS — to update my devices. Probably time to stop updating or stop buying iOS devices.

Why do I do this to myself?

Bypass the iTunes nightmare when you wanna get a song from your computer to your phone. Best part: no cable required, just a wifi and your computer's web browser...drag, drop, and you're done. Accessing the song in OPlayerLite is just as straightforward as it can be. Intuitive, stable, simple... it just works. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I have received nothing from OPlayerLite makers in connection with this review.

I like OPlayerLite and I've had it for years. It works great. The main concern I have is the uncertainty with using it across multiple devices. Apparently on the iPhone you get Oplayer and on iPads you get Oplayer HD. I want to pay for upgrades but it is very confusing to me because I don't know if I will get the upgrades on each of my devices or just the one. I don't want to get stuck paying for upgrades on each of my family's devices. If one purchase was good on all devices this would for sure be a 5 star rating.

Everything I get in emails, text message, whatever. I use OPlayerLite to play it. Sometimes it cuts off when my phone is locked, because of my settings. Other than that, it’s solid. I’m gonna purchase this one for sure. To whoever created this, good lookin out and best of luck to u. I’ve suggested OPlayerLite to a lot of my friends and they all use it.

OPlayerLite works perfectly for the user working to skip over iTunes for all Audi and video media. I love the feature that allows me to upload content to my phone over my network from the web browser on my PC. I gladly paid these developers for the full license of OPlayerLite after initially installing the free version.

When I start to use OPlayerLite more frequently, after a week or more of it being inactive, I play the audio while it stays on when I’m working on something else. The audio will sometimes start to sound like static is in the background, distort, or skip like a broke record. I have uninstalled and upgraded but it still does it.

Heavy App, With lots of FEATURES.. for a person with mild ADD like me. It was tough to find thy purchase or buy now button..it looks great , has awesome features, And would recommend it to everyone in the world, but I wish if I made OPlayerLite I would have made all the features and buttons in a more Organized in a centralized location..there all over the place..I still found what I needed but it took a minute or 2 more ..done good by..

I wish I had found this a long time ago. It’s definitely worth paying for the premium features. I’m a media geek and have a server full of music and videos. This makes it easy to stream them via wi-if to my phone, or download them to take with me. Trying to do the same thing in iTunes is a nightmare.

Its the best app for video playback because u can slow and speed up the vids to the cent. I just dont know how to keep the same quality video when I select tye video from my pics, it always compresses it to a lower quality. How do i change that?

This really a nice and powerful app for playing video. It has many other necessary tools but the video thumbnail is missing in OPlayerLite which I am surprised to see. I need to look at the names to understand which one I want play. Don't know why it's missing. I would like to buy it if it's has that option.

In one of the images it says you can position the video, but this is a lie, you can’t actually move the video around. You can zoom in, but it only zooms in on the center of the video, making it completely pointless.

It has nice features, but the whole reason I downloaded this was because it said you can move the video around, and that was just a complete lie.

Is OPlayerLite still supported? Haven’t seen much update lately and I found a bug where if you set OPlayerLite password but you go to the built in IOS Files app and open from there you can override OPlayerLite password. Besides that issue pretty good player overall does what I want and plays smoothly on IOS 14.6 iPhone 7.

Was looking for an app to smoothly play mkv files on iphone and this one works perfectly! Super easy to add files from PC and play them in series; overall a simple task but OPlayerLite fulfills it perfectly. Ads are not overbearing as well, which is always a pleasant surprise with any app

Using the lite version. I love everything about it, except it times out after around a minute if you are not playing anything, and you need to go back into OPlayerLite to start playing. I would like to be able to restart playing from the iPhone home screen or control centre. Does this also happen in the paid version or only on lite?

Live OPlayerLite , but the randomizer is pretty bad. Some videos won't ever get plays while others appear again after two or three plays.

What would make OPlayerLite perfect, though, is very basic editing controls. Oh my god, that would be awesome. Just split, cut, crop, trim, etc. Please Please Please!

man this spp has a bazillion features, plays everything backwards forwards diagonal and sideways in whatever format you want at whatever speed you want. my only complaint is stoners like me need a little help navigating all the options. itd be great if there was a little mire explaination of what does what or some samples of whst its capable of, some sort of guideline to follow because i know im n
not using it to its potential. thatd be great📝

I didn't intend to buy this product had I known your price beforehand. There was not a choice to confirm or continue with the purchase. The fact is while your other app was selling for 2.99, this lite one took from me a much higher amount. Reported this problem to Apple but Apple referred me to the seller. Sorry to have reported this matter here for nothing is wrong with your app. It is only the price.

When I play music from my NAS, all songs start out 10 seconds in. This happens with personal dips and downloads. Any chance this is a bug that can be checked out? Only reason I'm holding that coveted 5th star back.

This is hands down the best media player I've ever seen. You don't need to look for any other media player out there cause this is the one that does it all perfectly. Kudos to the developers of OPlayerLite, job very well done fellas!

The speed function for videos is perfect as is the ability to transfer files over wifi
