ZY-Player is a cross-platform video player and media library manager designed for streaming video and live TV content from custom or imported source lists. It functions as a media metadata browser that fetches movie ratings and information from external databases to assist in content discovery.
The application integrates with external player software by handing off media streams to third-party applications. It provides tools for organizing video resources through a media library manager that supports poster views and custom source list definitions.
The system includes global media search to locate content across all sources and tracks playback progress to resume videos from the last played position. It also manages a collection of favorites and maintains local state persistence for session recovery.
