## What it is
An Android library that plays videos inside ListView or RecyclerView items, similar to Instagram's feed video playback. It supports automatic play/pause based on scroll position and item visibility.

## Use cases
- play videos in a recyclerview feed like instagram
- auto play and pause video when scrolling a list
- embed video players in listview items on android
- track which list item is visible and activate its video
- mute video playback by default with tap to unmute

## When to choose
- you need Instagram-style video playback in an Android list feed
- you want automatic play/pause driven by scroll visibility
- your project targets older Android APIs (14+) with MediaPlayer

## When to avoid
- you need modern codec support or ExoPlayer features
- you need an actively maintained library - last release was 2017
- you are building for platforms other than Android
