Viy features

Turn it on — and it plays.

A lightweight player that understands the file, the TV and the receiver.

Dolby Vision

Profile 7 — even where it’s “not supported”.

Viy passes Dolby Vision profiles 5 and 8 to the TV as is. UHD Blu‑ray remuxes with Dolby Vision profile 7 play even where the TV supports only newer profiles: Viy converts them to profile 8.1 on the fly. Without Dolby Vision, profiles 7 and 8 play as HDR10, while HDR10 and HLG go to the screen as is.

Viy: 4K and Dolby Vision badges and the stream line — HEVC 10-bit · DV P8
Audio

Sound, as intended.

Pass the track to your receiver as is, or decode AC3, E‑AC3, DTS and TrueHD right on the box. There’s night mode, volume boost up to +21 dB and audio delay.

Viy: the “Audio” menu — volume boost, voice boost, night mode, channels
Subtitles

ASS — with all its effects.

Full ASS/SSA, plus SRT and VTT next to the file. Size, position, background, delay and encoding — from the remote.

Viy: the “Subtitles” menu — built-in tracks in Ukrainian, English and other languages
Home network

Computers on your network — found by themselves.

Viy finds SMB computers on your home network by itself. There’s WebDAV — Nextcloud, NAS, cloud storage. Or just open an http, HLS or DASH address.

Viy: sources — an SMB network folder, WebDAV and a DLNA server next to TV memory
Library

Your files — like in a cinema.

Add a folder — and Viy finds titles, posters, descriptions and cast by itself. Films and series kept apart, quick search across your library.

Viy: a film page in the library — description, rating, “Continue” and cast
Continue

Where you left off — and onward.

Viy remembers where you stopped, starts the next episode by itself, and in files with chapters offers to skip the intro and credits.

Viy: “Continue” — time left in the film and a row of things you haven’t finished
Frame

No black bars, no judder.

The refresh rate adapts to the film, and zoom presets remove black bars: 2.39, 2.20, 2.00 or 1.85.

Viy: the “Zoom” menu — whole frame and the 2.39, 2.20, 2.00, 1.85 presets
For other apps

A player for other apps.

Flux, TorrServer and other apps open videos in Viy as an external player — and the playback position goes back to them.
