The main (and unique!) feature is real-time motion interpolation (FRC, frame rate conversion), i.e. real-time increase of video frame rate up to 60 fps (or whatever you want), based on the SVP engine.

There's no fancy "library" here, just an old-school file browser that still supports SMB, FTP, DLNA, and WebDAV servers (direct playback w/o downloadig).

The video player is basically a UI for the mpv player, so it supports all the features mpv has:
- every possible codec/format supported (except .iso over the network sad)
- high quality rendering; HDR tone mapping
- contrast / saturation / gamma / sharpness
- infinite number of options via custom configuration file, still there're a lot of options available via UI

Everything is free (including playback of mkv files :D) except, yes, FRC.
Try it first, there's a free trial period here.

FRC is a very demanding feature, not every device can handle it well, but iPhones/iPads are pretty good. At least iPhone 11 is required.
Apple Silicon iPads are obviously the best (and the only ones that can do 4K interpolation).

The main purpose of SVPlayer is to do frame interpolation, which is simply useless in PiP mode, which is why PiP mode is at the end of our TODO list.

Good to hear it still going to be a feature!

One really important question can I add videos/movies/tv shows easily from a PC/computer automatically somehow with/to SVPlayer?

I want to get a 2 TB or maybe the 4 TB new iPad Pro soon and hoping there a way to do this. Cellular data just does not cut it when it comes to streaming 4k sadly. So I kinda need the media on my device instead.

Having to add to and delete new and old stuff constantly by hand will be a pain in the butt. :(

If not possible oh well :(
