Explore and play your .. my .. your videos.
An alternative to Kodi or Plex, which primarily emphasize poster‑style views of your videos. If you don’t recognize a poster, you often have to play part of the video or search online just to figure out what the video is.
An alternative to Windows Explorer, which focuses on file listings and requires opening each file to see posters or metadata like movie.nfo.
MyVideoExplorer sits comfortably in the middle. It’s a simple, streamlined video browser that lets you scroll through your collection while displaying enough metadata to quickly decide if it’s the video you want to watch today.
