Hi,

Awesome project! I've been struggling to get my HDR/Dolby Vision encoded videos playing correct on VLC Android on my Nvidia Shield. I would like to use the player for our new TV Screen in our office to shuffle 4K HDR/DV from video's in a folder. Preferably with our logo (transparent png image) centered over the video. With VLC this is possible through the video effects settings. A feature like this with the possibility to select the image, and set position would be awesome.

As the project is opensource I was thinking of adding the feature myself. I more a JavaScript dev myself. I can read and understand Java but I'm not really familiar with Android apps. Can you give me a hint on where to start implementing? Eg. what is the main screen/file to edit when the player is in fullscreen mode? Thank for any help!

Cheers

You could just use ExoPlayer directly (start with its Demo) as this is what Just Player uses. All you need is basically to put one overlay over the video view. I believe you could also use some ExoPlayer wrapper for frameworks like Cordova, Ionic etc. and code in JS. If it wasn't Android TV, but some Android device with a web browser, you could just create PWA as the system video player is basically what ExoPlayer uses anyway.

Your are right! Thank you. I see react-native-video is using ExoPlayer, that should work.
