You can remove ads yourself by going into your settings on your phone & goto WiFi connections additional settings, find private DNS & add dns.adguard.com this will block ads for you.

There are many methods to remove ads for an example; I've made a useful thread on where you can download these applications. If you have no experience in coding Languages you can download ApkTool M & decompile the app & run MPatcher which will remove ads for you just make sure you compile the app & sign it.

For online ads you can change change the size of them once you get their ID which can be obtained from Developer Assistant, DevTools which ever one your interested in.

Splayer is a alright video player if you have torrent files you can watch them right off the app at ease..
Intelli Play is another application adfree it's an alternative to Xplayer.

For me the VLC wins.
The player works really smooth, has a lot of options and settings (like locking screen, changing subtitles)
It reads .mkv, and many more formats. On Smart TV it looks very similar with some changes, because the screen isn't "touchable".

If I remember correctly, you can fully disable data collection, which I did.
I couldn't find better player - I've never seen it lagging, and even on 256GB MicroSD it can read files pretty easily.

They're tricky and Android work hard, I had to remove two apps, from the list now.

FLV Player has never failed. It's the only one installed, it's enough for me. The other players that I tried some glitchy.
