Android

While the UX is worse, it's possible to use asbplayer on Android devices.

warning

Many features are missing: the side panel, screenshots, and the WebSocket interface.

Website

The website can be used as-is. The Overlay UI will be displayed instead of the default, desktop-optimized video controls.

Add to home screen

As a progressive web app, the website can be added to the home screen of your Android device. From the browser menu, tap "add to home screen."

Extension

The asbplayer extension is available on the following Android browsers. As with the website, the primary way to interact with asbplayer will be through the Overlay UI.

The side panel is missing, so instead subtitles are loaded by selecting the asbplayer button from the browser's extension menu.

Using a (bluetooth) keyboard is not necessary but can be very useful for those who prefer to use keyboard shortcuts with the extension.

Chromium-based

The asbplayer extension is available for Chromium-based browsers on the Chrome web store or from the releases page.

Kiwi Browser (discontinued)

Kiwi Browser is a Chromium-based mobile browser that can run extensions. However, it's development has been discontinued and the only way to install it is from the GitHub page.

Edge Canary

Edge Canary is another Chromium-based mobile browser that can run extensions. However, it is very new and there is currently little info on asbplayer's compatibility with it.

Firefox for Android

Install asbplayer from the AMO page. Firefox for Android suffers from the same limitations as Firefox - it's not possible to record audio from DRM-protected streams.

Anki integration

Install AnkiConnect Android for Anki integration.
