How to get started with VidHub

From installation to your first video, in a few short steps.

1. Install the app

Open the app's page on Google Play and install it on your device.

2. First launch

Open the app and allow access to your media when it asks for it. This lets the app see the videos stored on your device.

3. Choose a source

Add videos from device storage, from a network drive over SMB/CIFS or WebDAV, or from a media server such as Emby, Jellyfin, Plex or fnOS.

4. Open a video

Pick a video in the library and press play. Sorting by type, date or rating helps find a file faster.

5. Turn on subtitles if you need them

If a video needs subtitles, turn them on during playback. Built-in tracks and external SRT, SSA or SUB files are supported.

If a file does not open

Go through these general checks:

  • Check that the file still exists and has not been moved or deleted.
  • For a network source, check that your device and the storage or media server are connected.
  • Check that the file format is among the supported ones: MKV, AVI, MP4, MOV, RMVB, WMV and other common formats.

If the file still does not open, contact support .
