## What it is
An Android library providing a TextureView-based video view with ImageView-style scale types such as fitCenter, centerCrop, and centerTopCrop. It wraps MediaPlayer playback and lets developers control video scaling via XML attributes or code.

## Use cases
- play video with centerCrop scaling on android
- fit a video inside a view without distortion
- show background video cropped to fill the screen
- change video scale type at runtime
- replace VideoView with a scalable TextureView

## When to choose
- you need ImageView-like scale types for video playback on Android
- you want a lightweight TextureView-based video player with MediaPlayer
- you need to crop or fit video in layouts like splash screens or backgrounds

## When to avoid
- you need advanced playback features like DRM, streaming protocols, or caching
- your project uses ExoPlayer/Media3 and you prefer its scaling options
- you need active development or frequent updates
