Features

Everything you need to view multiple videos and images at once — designed for local files and private use.

Playback

Only one video plays audio at a time — switch focus with mouse or keyboard shortcut
Load multiple files into each player; play sequentially or at random
Control all video volume from a single slider (per-player control still available)
Play MKV and other non-HTML video via local FFMPEG transcoding — streamed in-app, never uploaded

Workflow

Drag and drop files from your filesystem straight into the grid
Browse for images and videos directly from each player
Pick the next item from a player playlist without leaving the layout
Create and manage saved video and image playlists in a dedicated view
Load a saved playlist into the grid in two clicks
Local SQLite database stores playlists, grid snapshots, settings, and metadata on your machine

Display

Five built-in grid layouts for mixed image and video panels
Focus Mode hides most UI chrome — ideal for large displays and presentations
Save grid snapshots from the display itself — every loaded file, panel position, and mute state
Reload a saved snapshot at any time to restore the full grid exactly as you left it

Safety

Panic Button (Bosskey) instantly stops all content and shows a screen you customise
Choose what the panic screen displays — a neutral wallpaper, blank screen, or your own image
Optional install password so only authorised users can launch or change settings
Network access is opt-in — pr0nView asks permission before connecting to the internet

Supported media

Common formats play back natively in the Electron shell. MKV, MOV, and other non-HTML video is transcoded locally via FFMPEG and streamed to the player — processing stays on your machine.

MP4, FLV, AVI, OGG, WEBM

Video (FFMPEG)

MKV, MOV, and other non-HTML formats

Image

JPG, BMP, PNG, WEBP
