LUX Video Player
Premium iOS player for local media, MKV & home servers
An elegant, native iOS video player designed to handle heavy media files beautifully. Natively plays MKV, MP4, AVI, and WebM without annoying conversions. Connects seamlessly to your Mac, PC, Plex, Jellyfin, or SMB servers to stream over Wi-Fi without taking up your iPhone storage.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the solo developer behind LUX Video Player.
I built LUX out of pure frustration. I was tired of transferring movie files to my phone only to get "format not supported" errors, and I hated how clunky and bloated most video players looked on iOS. I wanted an app that felt premium and native.
As a solo dev crafting this out of NYC, I focused entirely on giving users an absolute clean UI, massive file support (MKV, WebM, etc.), and smooth network streaming for Plex/SMB. I'd love for you to try it out and give me your feedback! 🍎🇺🇸
