Perfect app! Provides a lot of interesting info about available codecs, including info is codec hardware accelerated.
★★★★★Scott Bruce· Dec 26, 2020
Excellent uncluttered app that lists all supported codecs on your device and tells you whether hardware acceleration is available. Does exactly what it should.
★★★★★Zach Norris· Feb 2, 2026
Very useful app. Indispensible for determining exactly which encoder (recording) and decoder (playback) profiles for each codec are capable of hardware acceleration. When arbitrary transcode/encode profile customization is used, it will usually break this compatibility and force software. This is hugely important with lower performance embedded device playback (especially budget Smart TV brands, with less licensed software/hardware to save $)

11-14-19 Not able to dig in the VLC player codec nor KLite codec only android standard OS codec. Need a fix it transfers all copy codec to the correct android OS VIDEO and Audio directories.

Does what it claims. No more, no less. It will suffice until I have time to search for an app with more information.
