About Zen Video Player
Video Player Features
Local playback from device and SD card: Play videos from your phone's internal storage, SD cards, or gallery. No uploading and no cloud—your media stays on your device.
Full-screen immersive viewing and auto-orientation: Enjoy videos in edge-to-edge true full screen. Zen automatically adjusts the layout for portrait or landscape orientation, matching each video's natural format for the best experience.
Gesture controls: Swipe vertically to adjust brightness and volume, double tap left or right to seek backward/forward, and pinch or drag to zoom and pan. Playback controls are always within reach.
Flexible playback: Change playback speed, play or pause instantly, seek with the progress bar, quickly skip to previous/next, and use the in-player menu for audio track and subtitle selection.
Subtitle and audio track support: Easily load local subtitle files (SRT), toggle between subtitle tracks, and select among available audio channels for multi-language or alternative audio.
Playlist and folder browsing: Auto-create playlists from folders, create/manage your favorite lists, and quickly browse your collection using a folder navigator.
Gallery view with instant thumbnails: Browse visually – folders and playlists display fast, clear video previews to help you find and play what you want.
Privacy and minimal permissions: Zen Video Player requires only essential file permissions to access your videos and never uploads, collects, or shares your files or data. All media processing is done locally.
Stable playback and broad format support: Runs on a proven video engine compatible with common video and audio formats for Android, offering reliable playback on nearly any device.
Light and dark theme support: The entire app automatically adapts to your device's theme for comfortable viewing day or night.
Music Player Features
Advanced audio playback: Play high-quality audio files in all standard formats stored on your device.
Background play and notification controls: Keep your music playing when you switch apps or lock your device, with quick controls available in the notification shade.
Folder and album browsing: Find and play music by folders, albums, or genres just as easily as with video.
Light/dark UI adaptation: Music player screens and controls also follow your system's theme for the best experience.
Privacy and Support
The app never collects or uploads your personal data or media files.
For support or suggestions, use the in-app feedback section or contact the developer.
Notes
