Using Native Player as an external player

Native Player can be used as an external player. Keep browsing in the app you're used to (Plex/Jellyfin/Emby clients, Stremio-addon apps …) and hand playback over to Native Player, so you get:

- Dolby Vision Profile 7
- TrueHD Atmos
- DTS:X

Apps support this in one of two ways:

• Native Player built in: Some apps already list Native Player as an external player option. Just select it in the app's settings.

• Custom player: Some apps let you add your own external player (often called a "custom player" or "custom URL scheme"). You add Native Player there yourself. The list below shows what to enter.

The list isn't complete. There are probably more apps with a custom player option where Native Player works too. If you find one, please share it in the comments so we can add it.

Your app doesn't support it?

Ask the developer to add Native Player as an external player and send them the developer doc below. If the app already supports Infuse, it's a very small change: Native Player's x-callback-url works the same way as Infuse's, with the same parameters and the same progress sent back. Details below:

Featured inside Native Player

Every app that fully supports Native Player with x-callback-url so watch progress syncs back to the app, will be featured inside Native Player in the next version, coming soon.

yes, you added x-callback-url, but to fully support it, debrify needs to send x-success and x-error urls, so Native Player can bring you back to Debrify with latest movie position.

Has anyone successfully passed subtitles from any of the apps? I can’t get it to work on Plezy or NowSeen (I know Plezy doesn’t support it yet)

I installed NowSeen on AppleTV but cannot select the Native Player which is also installed. Did I miss something or did I misunderstood this? :/
