Yes, it does too, but both applications have different features.
For example:
- PocketTV can stream from a web server using http protocol. Betaplayer can only play files.
- PocketTV can play video frame by frame, to look for a particular image in a movie. Betaplayer cannot do that.
- PocketTV can capture an image from a movie. Betaplayer cannot do that.
etc.
Naturally Betaplayer also has specifics features.
PocketTV Classic is also free, and it works very well (it is very well tested on many devices because it has been around much before Betaplayer), so it is a very popular application.
Having both PocketTV and Betaplayer does not hurt.
Do you think that having choice is a bad thing ?
