Unfortunately, upstream ExoPlayer doesn't handle some older formats like ~~[AVI container](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2092)~~, WMV or [Theora](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/4970). Majority of devices also cannot handle [10-bit AVC](https://github.com/moneytoo/Player/issues/87#issuecomment-816228143).

## Other open source Android video players

Here's a comparison table presenting all available and significant open source video players for Android I was able to find. Just Player is something like ~~80%~~ 90% feature complete. It will probably never have dozens of options or some rich media library UI. It will never truly compete with feature rich VLC. It just attempts to provide functional feature set and motive others to create greater players based on amazing ExoPlayer.
