Yonto PlayerEvery library. Every format. One player.
Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, your NAS and your drives in one app on Android TV, phone and tablet. It plays MKV, AVI, DTS, TrueHD and Blu-ray ISOs, casts from your phone to Chromecast and AirPlay for free, and sets your TV up from your phone.
Free with one source · Pro is one payment, no subscription · no account, no ads · provides no content
Why people switch
Four reasons, before the details.
It plays the file
MKV, AVI, WMV, RMVB, Blu-ray and DVD ISOs, with DTS, TrueHD and Dolby sound decoded on Android. All of it free, none of it behind Pro.
Every library in one app
Plex, Jellyfin and Emby beside your NAS, USB drive and Dropbox. One search finds it all, and plain files get posters too.
No typing with the remote
The TV shows a QR code and you type the address and password on your phone. Set up in a minute.
Pay once, keep it
Free with one source, for good. Pro is one payment for up to five TVs, phones and tablets: no subscription, no account, and a 7-day refund.
How it compares
The players people usually weigh it against, side by side.
| Yonto Player | The official Plex, Jellyfin and Emby apps | Infuse | Kodi | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plex, Jellyfin and Emby in one app | Yes, with NAS shares, USB drives, Dropbox and Box too (more than one source is Pro) | No, each plays its own server | Yes | Through add-ons |
| Android TV, phones and tablets | Yes | Yes | No, Apple devices only | Yes |
| NAS files with no media server | Yes, over SMB or WebDAV, with posters | No, through the server | Yes | Yes |
| What it costs | Free with one source. Pro is one payment of US$7.47 | Jellyfin: free. Plex: free at home, and streaming away from home on a phone needs Plex Pass or a Remote Watch Pass. Emby: its phone app plays a minute at a time without Emby Premiere or an unlock | Free. Pro is US$16.99 a year or US$99.99 once, and casting, Dolby Vision and lossless audio need it | Free |
Read on each vendor’s own site on 27 October 2026. Prices change, so check theirs. Jellyfin, Plex, Emby, Infuse and Kodi are trademarks of their owners. The longer comparison, and when the official app is the better pick
Free here. Extra elsewhere.
Casting, every video format, skip intro and a poster library are in the free app, not behind Pro. Several players charge for some of these or leave them out.
Posters for your own files
Films and series grouped from file names, with the artwork and descriptions kept beside them, and a free online lookup for what is missing.
Search every source at once
One list, best match first. A title two sources have is one card, and Also on lets you pick the copy to play.
Skip intro and credits
When Plex, Jellyfin or Emby has marked them, or TheIntroDB knows them, a button appears. Watched marks and resume points are read from the server, and it hears what you watch.
Plays what others skip
AVI, WMV, RMVB, MKV and more, with DTS, TrueHD and Dolby sound decoded for you on Android. None of it is behind Pro.
Cast to Chromecast, AirPlay and DLNA
From a phone or tablet to a Chromecast, Google TV or an AirPlay screen, and from Android to a DLNA TV, free. On Android, a video the receiver cannot decode is converted on your phone as it plays.
A Watch list for everything
Save a title from any source to watch later. It is one list on the device, a shelf on Home, and a title leaves it when you play it.
Cloud drives as sources
Your own Dropbox or Box, browsed as folders and played like any share. On a TV, a QR code signs you in from your phone.
Set up in a minute, from your phone
Point it at your server or NAS
Pick Jellyfin, Plex or Emby, or a folder on a NAS or a USB drive, on Add source.
Scan the QR, type on your phone
The TV shows a code. Your phone opens the same form, with a real keyboard. Nothing is saved until you confirm it with the remote.
Play, and pick up where you left off
Continue playing resumes where you stopped, a Watch list holds what you want to see next, and each device keeps its own History.
Free, with nothing to install on the phone. What you type is encrypted on your phone, and the relay only passes it on.
Made for the remote
A TV app should feel like one, so every screen is built for the D-pad first.
Back means back
Back returns to the exact card and scroll position you left.
Focus where you expect
The highlight lands on what you came for, on every screen.
Watch Next
Your launcher’s Watch Next row follows along, so the TV’s home screen offers the episode you were on.
Up next
When an episode ends, the next one starts with a countdown.
Your sources
One player for the libraries you already have.
Jellyfin
Add your server by address and sign in.
Plex
Sign in with a link code, no typing a password on the TV.
Emby
Add your server by address and sign in.
Files, NAS and USB
On Android, video files from a folder, a USB drive or a NAS over SMB or WebDAV.
What you connect is your responsibility: only use libraries you are entitled to access. Jellyfin, Plex and Emby are trademarks of their owners; Yonto Player is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
The same app on your phone and tablet
The same sources on your phone and tablet, with a tab bar on a phone and a rail on a tablet. The player opens in landscape and turns upright at a tap, seeks with a double tap, and shrinks into picture-in-picture.
Private by design
Your library is yours, so what you watch is nobody else’s business. History, sources and settings stay on your device, and if you turn on Sync, they reach your other devices encrypted with a key only they hold.
The only servers we run are the setup relay, which passes on a form it cannot read, Pro’s licence check, and Sync’s server, which keeps what syncs without being able to read it.
Free with one source. Pro is one payment, no subscription.
The whole player is free with one source of your own. Pro lifts the limit, adds plugins, downloads to watch offline and Sync between your devices, and covers up to five devices, your TVs, phones and tablets together.
Pro US$7.47 Regular price US$14.95 one payment50% off Offer runs until December 31, 2026.
Free for 7 days Try Pro in the app on Android TV, phones and tablets, once per device, with no payment details.
Try it tonight, on your TV or your phone
A small demo library is built in, so you can see it working before you add your own server or NAS.
