  Local media player as the name suggests allows you to play most of the media files (.mp4,.mp3,.mkv,.webm,.avi and many more) from local PC drives, without any need to download third party softwares like VLC, Windows Media Player etc. So we help you view your local videos and also keep you safe when you download them from different sources. You do this simply from the comfort of your browser window. This is very helpful for computers with low storage space/processing power.
  Some video/audio formats other than mentioned above may not work. If your file is not working with our media player than you are requested to convert your desired file into any of the above mention file formats of your choice using numerous free file converters (both offline as well as online).
  We also have provided option of web based Local Media Player, which can be utilized by clicking on the text displayed on top blue ribbon in the video player window!
