EPlayer

Another iOS Video player application (Swift).

It's an English(Languages) learning oriented Video player, which helps you download subtitles and look up words you are unfamiliar with. That would help those who want to learn a second language by watching videos along with subtitles of that language only.

With my rough experience learning English, it occurs to me that I need a tool that helps me stand out the words I am not familiar with when watching English videos and even better if it interprets for me so that I can consume tons of sitcoms, in the meantime, memorizing that vocabulary naturally. And I hope this method could apply in other languages learning.

Features

  • Hardware/software decoding support for h264 (others may be supported too, though I didn't test)
  • Mainstream video formats support
  • iOS Simulator(x86) support
  • iPhone/iPad(arm64) support and iOS 10.0 higher (Didn't do well with layout for iPhone)
  • External subtitles support (srt/ass)
  • Download subtitles from OpenSubtitles
  • Subtitle offset tweak (forward/delay)
  • Video move forward/afterward
  • Video progress history
  • Gesture control (forward/afterward/lightness/volume/pause)

This project isn't a sound video player (though it indeed plays sounds), neither am I an iOS developer. Lots of works are involved to make it an out-of-box open-source project (due to iOS platform policy). However, it keeps me accompanied along with many wonderful videos, so I really hope someone with hands-on skills and a passion for learning languages could enjoy this. Cheers!

Oh, by the way, it really helps me learn a language named Swift 4.0 :-
