UnzipPlayer is a browser-based media player that extracts and plays audio/video files directly from ZIP archives
- Single HTML file — no build step, no dependencies to install
- Drag-and-drop ZIP loading with hot-swap replacement
- Encrypted ZIP support (AES-256 / ZipCrypto) with password prompt
- In-memory extraction — files never touch disk
- Built-in ID3 tag parser (v1, v2.2, v2.3, v2.4) with Shift_JIS / UTF-8 / Latin1 auto-detection
- Metadata columns: Title, Artist, Album, Duration
- Folder tree sidebar with recursive playlist view
- Shuffle and repeat playback modes
- Keyboard shortcuts (Space = play/pause, Ctrl+Arrow = prev/next)
- URL parameter loading (
?zip=or?file=) - Dark theme UI with list and grid views
- Works on
file://protocol — no local server needed
Open media-manager.html in a browser and drop a ZIP file onto the page. Files are extracted into memory and displayed in a file manager UI. Click any file to play it.
If the ZIP is password-protected, a dialog will prompt for the password. Enter it and click Unlock. If the password is wrong, you can retry.
Load media directly via URL query parameters:
media-manager.html?zip=https://example.com/music.zip
media-manager.html?file=https://example.com/song1.mp3&file=https://example.com/song2.mp3
Note: The remote server must allow CORS for URL loading to work.
