Ace Stream Media is an open source multimedia application with a feature-rich player (based on LibVLC) providing the following features:

- Playback of any video and audio files including MKV MP4 AVI MOV Ogg FLAC TS M2TS Wv and AAC as well as playback of network streams that are broadcasted via protocols HTTP(S) RTMP FTP BitTorrent Ace Stream etc. All codecs are included without the need for separate downloads.
- The application includes a media library for audio and video files and allows you to browse folders directly.
- There is support for multi-channel audio subtitles teletext and closed captions.
- There is support for auto-rotate aspect ratio adjustments and gestures to control volume brightness and search.
- Ability to play content on remote devices and TV via communication protocols Ace Cast AirPlay Google Cast etc.

Note: In this release the default output format in settings is set to "auto" which means that the stream is transcoded when playing video in MKV container with AC3 codec on devices and players with no support for this audio codec (Apple TV Chromecast etc.). This leads to considerable delays when starting playback and increases response when seeking (especially on low-powered devices). Therefore if your remote device or player supports AC3 audio codec then you can go to settings and switch the output format to something more convenient.

Important! To maximize the comfort and stability of the broadcast when playing content from P2P networks (BitTorrent / Ace Stream) on a remote device use Ace Cast communication. To use Ace Cast it is necessary that the Ace Stream application is installed on the device from which the broadcast will be transmitted as well as on the device on which the broadcast will be played.
