CLUSTER VIDEO-DESKTOP-FILES · 25 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-12-19
Local media player applications
This cluster consists of desktop and mobile media players that primarily play local audio and video files, with variations adding online streaming, cloud providers, playlists, subtitles, metadata, visual effects, and casting. Dated history before the index covers 2017-12 to 2026-07, with a sparse, irregular entry pattern of typically one per month, except for a January 2025 month with three entries, showing no clear shape. The traction leaders are meguri, mediachips-bin, and stockholm-trekkers-playlist-maker-bin, each with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
