⚡ Quick Install Guide

Option A: Direct APK Install

  1. 📥 Download the Latest Vixz APK (v1.9.6) directly to your Android device.
  2. Open the downloaded .apk file from your browser downloads or notification tray.
  3. If prompted by Android, tap "Settings" → "Allow from this source", then tap Install.
  4. Open Vixz and enjoy pure, uninterrupted video playback with zero ads!

Option B: Automatic Background Updates (Recommended)

Track and auto-update Vixz seamlessly using Obtainium:

  • Tap ⚡ Add to Obtainium on your device to install and receive instant background update notifications whenever a new version is released.

🛡️ How Ad-Elimination Works (Two-Layer Defense)

Unlike web browsers with ad-block extensions that often get detected or break playback, Vixz uses a native two-layer architecture:

1. 100% Elimination of Commercial YouTube Ads

  • How it works: Vixz connects directly to Google's raw media distribution networks (.mp4, .m3u8, and DASH streams) and decodes video using native Android hardware (ExoPlayer).
  • Result: YouTube's ad-serving JavaScript code and ad tracking containers never execute. There are 0 pre-roll ads, 0 mid-roll ads, 0 post-roll ads, and 0 banner popups.

2. Automatic SponsorBlock Skipping

  • How it works: When creators record sponsor promotions directly into their video footage ("A quick word from our sponsor..."), Vixz queries the crowd-sourced SponsorBlock API.
  • Result: As soon as playback hits a sponsor timestamp, the player automatically leaps over the entire promotion in milliseconds, displaying an on-screen badge: ⏭️ Skipped Sponsor (01:15 → 02:30).

🎮 3-Zone Smart Player Gestures

Control your video effortlessly without hunting for tiny sliders:
