If you look in the software repositories of your Pinephone compatible distro the FOSS app Kodi is probably found if installing desktop apps are enabled.
Kodi is more a framework for plugins from commercial subscription streaming to game emulation and many others, it comes with with a built in multimedia playback capability which can play most media files.
The one difficulty I have found with using Kodi for playback vs any other media player including the stock one in Mobian is that the Kodi mobile skins I have tried to use expect an android home key or something else emulating a backspace.
Is there anyone who has found an easy to use skin for Kodi which provides the missing [back] signal somehow?
Any other Kodi related ideas especially reducing the battery usage for video playback(better utilizing hardware decoding?) would be appreciated!
