Overview
How to use TinePlayer: watching in two languages, audio description, subtitles, playback controls, integrations, settings, and troubleshooting.
TinePlayer plays one video and sends two of its soundtracks to two different audio devices at the same time. Beyond that, it can play external audio files in sync with the video and integrate with media libraries like Jellyfin and Kodi.
This documentation covers everything from playing your first video to TinePlayer's more advanced features and settings. If you are having a specific issue, check the troubleshooting section.
