In the above screenshot, you can see the video playing back smoothly. I opened up this video by clicking on the Open button at the bottom right screen corner, and then selected the file that I wanted to playback via the file browser screen. Do note that you can also select multiple audio/video files for playback and open them, and all of them will appear as a list at the left side of the screen. You can also switch to the full screen video mode via the diagonal double-headed arrow button control which appears at the bottom of the video’s frame.

The app also supports docked view.
