Encore Player by CodeFarmer
Play personal music and videos, with Duo laptop-mode controls and optional access to network media libraries.
Playing a personal music and video library across supported Apple screens
Encore Player may suit someone organizing their own media rather than a subscription streaming catalogue. The publisher built it around Duo display layouts. Free access covers one local song at a time and video previews; full video, server access and continuous folders require the permanent Pro unlock.
Keep in mind: Duo hinge layouts, server compatibility, Picture in Picture and gapless behavior were not tested.
