Not quite as exciting as I expected it to be (detail wise) but it will be exciting to see this develop more over the coming weeks 
We will get a good idea of how it will function and stuff when they start adding IDs. Which is where they include all the wording to describe how to use it etc.

I’m still baffled at the amount of changes around the media controller ‘thing’ though - very strange.

I hope they don’t change their minds again, it’s a pain to fish out image changes

Hmmm… maybe we are in for in-app video based messaging / scam education / tips / help ?

I imagine they have just updated ExoPlayer, and doubt it is tied to any new features specifically, it’s been in the app for a very long time.

I’ve just decompiled version 3.20.0 (Feb 2020) and the exo controls are indeed there. So nothing to see here, just a periodic update which looks strange when it appears.
Nice ‘Joined’ date btw…

I was wondering what they use this for, but then I remembered there’s a video that plays when you first install the app.
There’s also this nugget:
name=“paidUpgradeVideo”
Video incoming on what you get for a paid account? Or to familiarise yourself with the features once you’ve got it?

I was thinking about that “video” of the people wandering around and paying when you login, but I am very much in the embedded software field, so I assumed it would be a gif or similar!

Part of me wonders whether this will replace the overdraft. 
We know the direction of travel seems to be to have bills paid directly from the bills pots without the transactions being seen on the main account. And I’ve been nervous about what that means for my overdraft (given that I mostly use it as a safety net for direct debits).
If the overdraft became a “credit pot” then maybe it can be used to cover any short falls in any of the other pots? And, if it can be used for positive balances, it could also be that offset pot idea that many of us have been keen on ..
What would you use ExoPlayer for, then?! 
(I’ve just checked on an old phone: the video is still there she looks longer and higher quality than those normally associated with .gifs. I wonder if it can be extracted via the tear down?)
Inside the APK teardown folder the video can be viewed: /res/raw/welcome_onboarding_background.mp4 
(That folder also has our topup & transaction sounds… Kerching 
)

Thanks Marcus!
And that neatly answers the format question: it’s an MP4!
(Which I presume would need a media player. Maybe Exo helps with the nice background video stuff, rather than relying on the native player? 
)
For those that are curious here is the video:

Just wait until she finds out all the enriched data for merchants is pretty much a disaster
