About Materialious

Materialious is a video client with a Material Design interface for browsing and watching content through compatible video services. It supports videos, channels, playlists, live streams, and DASH playback, as well as an audio-only mode. Watch progress can synchronize across sessions, and the app supports shared watch parties. It can use an extended API from a compatible video front end, with a JavaScript fallback when that service cannot load a video. The app includes integrations for skipping sponsored segments, displaying dislike information, and improving titles or thumbnails, with a local-processing fallback for one of those features. Subscriptions and watch history can be connected to the compatible front end. Users can choose light or dark mode and configure color themes. The product description says the client has no ads or tracking. Materialious is intended for people who want a feature-rich video client connected to a compatible front end, rather than a standalone video hosting service. Some functions depend on the server or fallback source being available, and certificate validation can be disabled for home-lab use. The supplied information does not list the full setup process or explain which features work with every server.
