★★☆☆☆Rebel Gamer Official· Oct 9, 2026
I like this player because it shows total time duration of all videos combined on video folder, and it's simple to use but there are so many features missing which commonly available in any other video players, missing features like "hidden files and folders" this player doesn't show hidden files and folders and there is no option to make is show hidden files and folders please add those features those are really important I hope developer add those missing features in future thank you
