## What it is
A multi-screen video player built with Qt, FFmpeg, OpenCV, and OpenGL that plays files, network streams, and capture devices in a configurable grid layout. It resembles VLC but focuses on multi-view monitoring with draggable and mergeable panes.

## Use cases
- play multiple video streams in a grid
- monitor several RTSP cameras at once
- play local files and network sources side by side
- build a VLC-like player with multi-screen layout
- render video frames with OpenGL in a Qt app

## When to choose
- you need a multi-pane video wall or monitoring grid
- you want a C++/Qt reference for FFmpeg decoding and OpenGL rendering
- you need to mix file, network, and device capture sources in one player

## When to avoid
- you need a polished end-user media player with subtitle and playlist support
- you want streaming, recording, or face detection - these are only planned features
- you need a web-based or mobile player
