Video

One stage, or its own window

Video plays through the same engine and the same queue as everything else in JahSing 3 — full-bleed in the main stage, or detached into its own always-available window with one shortcut.

The inline stage — video takes over the content area with the same transport bar as any other track.

How it works

Built to stay out of the way

A full inline stage

Video plays right in the main window, full-bleed, with the same transport bar, queue and keyboard shortcuts as audio — no separate player to learn.

Pop it out, never lose your place

Detach video into its own small, resizable, always-available window. Playback keeps going without a hitch — browse the rest of your library, radio or podcasts while it plays alongside.

One shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+V

Toggle between the inline stage and the detached window instantly, tuned to stay smooth on Linux — no menus to dig through.

JahSing 3's video pop-out window, detached from the main player and playing on its own.

Always available

Keep watching while you do something else

The detached window is a real second window, not a picture-in-picture trick — resize it, move it, and keep it on top while you search the library, queue up a podcast, or tweak the equaliser in the main window behind it.

Press the shortcut again, or the pop-in control in the window itself, and playback hands straight back to the inline stage from exactly where it left off.

Supported files

The usual containers, read natively

JahSing 3 reads duration, frame size and codec straight out of MP4 and Matroska files; other common containers still play, picking up their details once the first frame loads.

  • MP4 / M4V / MOV
  • MKV / WebM
  • AVI
  • WMV
  • FLV

The inline stage plays on every platform — Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. The detached pop-out window is a desktop feature, available on Windows, macOS and Linux.
