  Today, I'm excited to introduce one of the biggest additions to Unifium yet: Extension Support . This new foundation unlocks powerful new capabilities for the app, and I'm launching it with the first extension, Video Link Resolver , which can transform supported webpage URLs into directly playable video streams. This new feature dramatically expands the types of video links that can be played in Unifium while keeping the core app lightweight, flexible, and future-proof.

Unifium 2.8.0 introduces full ASS subtitle support. This update brings major improvements to subtitle rendering accuracy, especially for anime , concerts , music videos , and professionally typeset releases that rely heavily on advanced subtitle effects . Unlike basic subtitle formats, ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha) supports rich visual styling and animations. Many video players only partially support these features, causing subtitles to appear broken, misplaced, or simplified during playback. With Unifium 2.8.0, ASS subtitles now render much closer to their original design.

I’m excited to introduce Dual View Mode — a new feature that lets you play two videos together in sync. Dual View Mode makes it easy to compare two videos side by side or top and bottom in real time. It’s perfect for before/after comparisons , video editing checks, color grading comparisons , motion analysis, and more.

  Modern media playback isn’t just about performance—it’s about compatibility. If your player fails to open a file, users don’t care why. They just see a broken experience. To address this, I’ve introduced Extension Decoder , powered by FFmpeg , to significantly expand the range of supported video and audio formats in Unifium .

Managing your video library just got significantly more flexible. With the latest update, Unifium introduces remote storage support ( SMB , FTP , FTPS , SFTP and WebDAV protocol ) , allowing you to stream videos directly from your servers—without downloading them to your device.

Not every video on your device is meant to be shared, previewed, or accidentally opened. Private Videos in Unifium is designed to give you full control over sensitive content—without relying on external vault apps or complicated setups. This feature doesn’t just hide your videos. It protects them at the file level , so they remain inaccessible even outside the app.
