I use foobar2000 but its not on fdriod. Have to go direct to them at https://www.foobar2000.org/apk. Also, this is music only, not sure if you're looking for video playback.

What I personally dislike about VLC on Android is that it requests a highly invasive storage permission to access all of your files.

This can be mitigated on GrapheneOS via the Storage Scopes feature, but this isn't the case on other operating systems, and I don't see a good reason why it couldn't just request the appropriate media permissions for audio and video only instead.
