YNPlayer
Can I repeat just part of a file?
Yes. Press [ to set A and ] to set B to repeat the passage. Press \ to turn repeat off or on while keeping the points, or Ctrl+Shift+\ to clear them. Switching files or stopping resets the passage.
Does playback resume automatically?
No. Playback starts from the beginning by default. Select resume from last position in Preferences → Playback to save positions. Turning resume off does not remove positions already saved; clear them separately.
Korean subtitles look garbled.
Automatic encoding handles UTF-8 and Korean CP949. You can also choose CP949 or UTF-8 in the subtitle menu to reread the current subtitle file.
The video looks too dark or the colors are wrong.
Press Ctrl+E to adjust brightness, gamma, contrast, saturation, and hue. Unsaved adjustments disappear when you change files, and the original file is never edited.
Can it play streaming services?
YNPlayer is for video and music files on your computer. Streaming integrations and DRM services are outside its supported features.
YNView
Why is my GIF or WebP not moving?
Animations play automatically. Press Ctrl+Alt+Space to check whether playback is paused. A still image or animation that finished its final loop keeps its current frame.
Can it open AVIF or HEIC?
Yes, it displays a representative still image. Multiple-image selection, AVIF animation, HDR output, and tone mapping are unsupported; EXIF from these formats is not shown in the information panel.
Why does camera information show a dash?
Only readable EXIF fields actually stored in JPEG, PNG, or WebP are shown. The file modification date is not substituted for the capture date.
Does rotating an image change the original?
No. Rotation, zoom, comparison, and slideshow affect only the view. The source image file is not modified.
YNTorrent
Does it keep sharing after completion?
When all selected files finish, the task stops downloading and sharing. Restarting or resuming all does not automatically seed completed tasks.
Can it upload while downloading?
Yes. Torrent peers may receive pieces you have already downloaded. After completion, the app requests a stop and waits for connection shutdown before freeing the next download slot.
Does removing a task delete downloaded files?
No. Only the task is removed from the list. Manage downloaded files yourself in your file manager.
Why does the close button not quit?
It hides to the tray by default so downloads can continue. Reopen from the tray, or exit through the File or tray menu or Ctrl+Q. You can change the close button behavior in Settings.
When can I choose files for a magnet?
After the magnet metadata arrives, the file list appears. You can then change the selection in the details view.
Android apps
Where do I install the Android apps?
Both apps install from Google Play. An install button appears on the app and downloads pages once an app launches. YNPlayer Android: available on Google Play · YNSong: available on Google Play.
Which devices are supported?
Android 8.0 or later. Layouts also adapt to foldables and resizable windows such as Samsung DeX. Playable formats and YNSong’s equalizer support depend on your device.
Do the apps include videos or music?
No. Both are players and do not provide videos, subtitles, music or courses. Use files you have the right to access.
Can I connect Google Drive now?
Yes. YNPlayer Android and YNSong no longer require separate test-account registration for Google Drive. Choose Google Drive when opening or adding files and connect the Google account you want to use. Playing files on your device does not require a Google account.
What can the apps access in Google Drive?
Google Drive is optional. When you choose Google Drive while opening or adding files, the app opens only the files you pick. YNSong does not browse your whole Drive, sync folders or download for offline use. Check, change or disconnect the account in each app’s Settings.
Where is my data stored?
There is no sign-up, advertising, in-app billing or usage analytics, and nothing is sent to a developer server. History, playlists, bookmarks and settings stay on your device; the apps connect to Google directly only when you use Google Drive. See the YNPlayer Android and YNSong privacy policies.
Why don’t I see lyrics in YNSong?
YNSong shows embedded lyrics from supported MP3 files only. With timestamped lyrics, tap a line to jump there. Online lyrics lookup and external LRC files are not supported.
