FastPlay is a minimal Windows video player built in Rust that focuses on fast local playback with low latency and responsive controls. It uses FFmpeg and D3D11 for efficient rendering and offers features like per-file resume and in/out point looping, distinguishing itself from full-featured media suites like VLC by deliberately limiting scope.
