What is this video player?

A browser-based video player that opens local files or remote URLs without uploading anything to a server. It inspects media metadata, displays codec info, resolution, duration, and bitrate - all processed client-side using the browser's native HTMLVideoElement API.

Supported formats

• MP4 - H.264/H.265 video with AAC audio, universally supported
• WebM - VP8/VP9/AV1 video with Opus audio
• HLS - HTTP Live Streaming via .m3u8 playlist URLs
• OGG - Theora video with Vorbis audio

How to use this tool

• Drag & drop a video file or click to browse your files
• Enter a remote URL to stream video directly
• View metadata including resolution, codec, duration, and file size

Common use cases

• Previewing video files without installing a desktop player
• Checking video metadata and codec information before processing
• Testing HLS streams and remote video URLs
• Quick playback of screen recordings or downloaded clips
