Play AVI Files on iPhone

Got a library of AVI files? FlixVault plays them directly on your iPhone — including legacy DivX and XviD codecs that most iOS apps can't handle.

Legacy Codec Support

FlixVault automatically detects the codec inside your AVI files. Modern codecs get hardware acceleration, while legacy formats like DivX, XviD, and MPEG-4 use optimized software decoding.

Accurate Duration Detection

FlixVault parses AVI headers to show the correct video duration immediately — even when streaming over a network. No waiting for the entire file to buffer first.

Stream Directly

AVI files stream directly from your NAS over SMB. No need to download the whole file before watching. Just tap and play.
