What "external codec" means for nPlayer

nPlayer is a media player app (mobile and desktop variants) known for broad format support and robust playback features. An "external codec" refers to a codec implementation supplied outside the app itself — typically by the operating system, a third‑party library, or a user‑installed component — which nPlayer can call to decode or encode audio/video streams it otherwise could not handle internally. Using external codecs expands format support, enables hardware acceleration, or unlocks niche container/codecs not bundled with the app.
