Light Video
A simple GTK4 based video player for mobile phones
Not tested on a device yet. What that means
Light Video in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own livi package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Light Video should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.
Sound plays through the device's own audio output, and video is decoded in software, so large or high frame rate files can struggle on slower devices. More about audio and video apps in Breadstick.
