Whether you are quickly reviewing content, replaying a favorite moment, or locating a particular scene, Aether makes navigation simple.

Verified Playback Configurations

The following configurations have been tested:

• MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio at 1920 × 1080
• MKV with 10-bit H.265 video and AAC audio at 1920 × 1080, including embedded ASS subtitles
• MPEG-1 video with MP2 audio used within visual novel content

Additional formats and codec combinations may also work. Compatibility may vary depending on the container format, encoding parameters, and device performance.

Easily Import Visual Novels

Aether includes a visual novel runtime compatible with XP3 content.

Import visual novel content that you legally own and launch it directly from your library with a single tap. There is no need to repeatedly locate files or perform complicated manual configuration, allowing you to focus on the story and gameplay.

Manage Local Content in One Place

View and manage imported videos and visual novels from a single library. Open a title’s details and quickly continue watching or playing.

Aether does not include or provide any third-party movies, games, or visual novel content. Users must import their own content and ensure that they have the legal right to use it.

Compatibility Notice

Some visual novels may use custom plug-ins, encryption methods, or specialized scripts. Therefore, compatibility with every XP3 title cannot be guaranteed.

Video playback may also vary depending on encoding settings, device model, and operating system version.
