Plays almost anything
Opens with your device’s decoder first. If that fails, it switches to FFmpeg and keeps playing from the same spot instead of stopping.
Oulim Player
Your videos, on any device
Clips on your phone, movies on your NAS, series collected on your PC. One app plays them all on phone, tablet, TV and desktop.
- No sign-up
- No cloud

The app handles the hard part
No need to wonder whether a file will play or where it lives.
One library
Folders from this device, your NAS and your PC, sorted into movies, series and music — with posters and Continue watching.
Straight from your NAS
Connects to SMB, SFTP, WebDAV and DLNA and plays directly. No downloading, no transcoding.
Your PC as a NAS
Leave Oulim for desktop running and your phone and TV can watch that PC’s videos — even away from home, with no relay server, over fast, modern HTTP/3 (QUIC).
Made for the remote
On Android TV, find, pick and resume with one remote. You can also add your PC to the TV using your phone.
Your history stays yours
Watch history, resume points and NAS passwords stay on this device only. No account, no cloud.
Designed for each device
Not a stretched phone app on a tablet, or a stretched tablet app on a TV. Every device gets its own layout.
Videos shown are openly licensed works.

Your PC as a NAS
No need to buy a NAS. The PC you keep on becomes your home media server.
Your home · your devices
Oulim on your PC
Pick the folders to share and the media server starts. Windows, macOS and Linux.
Add devices with a QR code
Scan the QR code on the PC with your phone and approve it on the PC. Only approved devices get in.
Away from home, too
Open a router port automatically (UPnP) or by hand, and devices connect straight to your PC — no relay server. Android phones, tablets and TVs connect over HTTP/3 (QUIC), so playback starts faster.
Faster and sturdier with HTTP/3 (QUIC)
Android phones, tablets and TVs connect to your PC over HTTP/3 (QUIC), the latest connection protocol from Google.
- Opens fastThe connection and encryption are set up in one go, so there’s less waiting between pressing play and the first frame.
- One slow piece won’t stall the restEven while the video and scene previews load together, one late chunk doesn’t keep everything else waiting.
- Holds up on shaky networksCopes better on weak Wi-Fi or mobile networks, where data often gets dropped.
- Switches networks for youMove from home Wi-Fi to mobile data and the app reconnects over HTTP/3 to the right address on its own — no need to restart it.
- Falls back on its ownIf your router or network blocks HTTP/3, the app connects the usual way automatically. Nothing to set up.
Add your NAS to the PC once
Put NAS folders in the Oulim library on your PC, and every registered phone, tablet and TV sees those NAS videos through the PC — no NAS setup on each device.
- NAS address and password stay on the PCNo need to add the NAS on every device, and its password never goes onto your phone or TV.
- The PC organizes it onceThe PC scans the NAS for posters, synopses and scene thumbnails, and devices just get the organized list. They don’t each scan again.
- NAS videos away from homeWatch NAS videos through your PC’s remote access. You don’t have to open NAS ports to the internet.
- See where each video livesA tag on the top left of each card shows the source (SMB · SFTP · WebDAV). If the same title is on both the PC and the NAS, they show as separate cards.
- A NAS already on your device still worksIf a device also has the same NAS, the list merges into one. At home it opens the NAS directly when it can, otherwise through the PC — and keeps working from the device’s own NAS setup when the PC is off.
NAS relay needs Pro on both the PC and the device you watch on (it can’t be unlocked with an ad). Devices without Pro see only the PC folders. Nothing is installed on the NAS.
Your PC fits 4K to every device
If a phone or TV can’t play a 4K video smoothly, your PC converts it to 1080p or 720p as it streams. The original file on your PC stays as it is.
- Smooth 4K, even on older devices4K and 4K 60 fps videos that kept stalling because the device couldn’t decode them in hardware now play without hiccups.
- HDR with natural colorsYour PC adjusts HDR videos so the colors look right on a regular screen.
- Audio, subtitles and seeking as usualPick any audio track or subtitle from the original, and jump straight to any scene.
- Set it per deviceChoose Off, Auto, 1080p or 720p in each device’s settings. Auto converts only the videos that device can’t play.
Available when the device you watch on has Pro. Conversion runs on a Windows PC with Intel, NVIDIA or AMD graphics, one video at a time.
Where your ISP blocks incoming connections (CGNAT and similar), the app tells you why. Connections at home keep working.
Plenty for free. Pro when you need more
Basic playback is free, with no ads. Pro is a one-time purchase you keep — not a subscription.
No ads interrupting playback
No fullscreen, banner or mid-playback ads, ever. On free phones and tablets you can unlock NAS videos and advanced audio with a single ad when you choose to; TV and desktop have no ads at all.
