## What it is
mpvExtended is an open-source Android video player built on libmpv (mpv-android) with a modern Jetpack Compose Material 3 interface. It is a fork of mpvKt that adds an easier UI, advanced mpv configuration and scripting, and enhanced playback features.

## Use cases
- play local videos on android with mpv quality
- stream video from smb ftp or webdav on my phone
- watch videos with external subtitles on android
- play video in picture-in-picture or background audio mode
- browse and manage my phone's video library with folders and playlists
- an mpv-based android player with material 3 ui
- load external audio tracks while watching a movie

## When to choose
- you want mpv-grade playback and rendering on Android with a modern Material 3 UI
- you need network streaming from SMB/FTP/WebDAV plus external subtitle and audio support
- you want a free, ad-free open-source player with advanced mpv configuration and scripting

## When to avoid
- you need an iOS, desktop, or cross-platform player rather than an Android app
- you require a fully polished, bug-free release - the project is still in development
- you prefer a simpler player without mpv-style configuration complexity
