Alright so i am downloading youtube videos thru an app in my Streak. And the format is either in .flv or .mp4. I tried a few video players like Rock Player etc. Some couldnt even play them. Rock Player was able to play it with huge lags and only in software encoding mode. Hardware encoding wont let me play the video.
So any advice guys? Which video players do you use?
VitalPlayer
Tried VitalPlayer. It plays the videos for 1 secs and then go back to the main vitalplayer screen. Maybe the stock sdcard isnt fast enough...
VitalPlayer is the best I've seen so far...
What app are you using to download the videos? It could be doing a really bad encode. I would imagine that the youtube player should be able to play those videos if nothing else. Have you tried going into the file manager then playing them with the youtube player?
I like rockplayer.

Vitaplayer is great

Used Rockplayer but have now gone onto Vitalplayer it seems to play a bit smoother
with vplayer in 1.5.2 i was able to see all videos also from fb, on the 1.6.0 the vplayer crash on starting the app.
i tried vitaplayer and rockplayer, they works but cant see all the videos from fb, only some and only with rockplayer.....
Very disappointed with RockPlayer - same videos that play super smooth on VitalPlayer, lag as hell on Rockplayer.
For me - Vital Player wins for now
I`m on 318 stock.
Mp4 films go straight into the gallery and the stock player is perfect, every single other player ive used goes out of sync or glitchy, i recommend a korean app, search the market for avi, and its a blue film reel, you cant understand the settings(unless you know.korean) but its perfect for divx, avi, flv, mkv, everything ive come across

I've been happy with QQPlayer.
And I with Act 1 Video Player ! The most full-featured player for video media on your sdcard! Lots of unique features.
I've been using Rockplayer and that lagged with a few videos. Just tried Vitalplayer and it plays the same videos without any perceivable lag.
Is there any video player with HDMI support for Streak except the stock Gallery player which plays limited formats?
I felt "arcMedia" is a pretty good player!!
i like qqplayer,doubletwist,and mvideo player
use astro file to move videos around if need to

I use tubemate, save, then playback on mVideoPlayer while at the gym.
I also watch my regular movies on my Streak.
I use mVideoPlayer. It is my favorite. It allows playback in either landscape or portrait. It's perfect for playing music mix videos in the car.
The swipe is very intuitive. No need or further looking IMO.
I have tried many (ArcMedia, Rock Player, Movies, ESplayer) and I can tell you that VitalPlayer is the ONLY one that will play .wmv files on my Dell Streak running Froyo !!
Awesome player

When i transferred from the Captivate to the Streak.. My movies don't show up on the streak. Only the mp4 movies show up.
Does the streak play avi, xvid, divx files? how?
use RockPlayer or vPlayer, but you might have to start the video straight from the app instead of the gallery.
vPlayer works on your streak?
to be honest vplayer does work but very poorly, as in it can't use hardware decoder and force closes itself after a little bit.
RockPlayer does indeed ROCK!
vplayer works perfectly fine on my streak, I mainly use it to watch .flv

Thats weird, I get a FC every time I try to watch a avi file. Im on Steves 1.5.3
Give VitalPlayer on the market a shot. Vplayer didn't work for me on 318 with Steve's kernel. You can also try RockPlayer on the market.

Yes if you start vplayer from the icon it does FC, if you try to play it from astro then it asks you what player then pick vplayer it sometimes works and sometims doesn't, but regardless if it plays it does play in software mode, video is ultra laggy and stops after a bit. so USELESS.
Should really look into Rock player. Haven't tried VitalPlayer but rockplayer does the job, for sure plays 720p content easy no hickups or anything.
Yeah I have Rockplayer installed, but 720p doesn´t play smoothly at all. Playing 720p on a 5" screen doesn´t make sense anyway, unless you have supervision and your nose touches the screen, so it´s not really a problem for me.
But I am just not that happy with having only one software choice, not that rockplayer is bad, just the opposite, but I would like having rockplayer installed because I think it is the best avi player, not because it is the only one working on my device.
Rockplayer actually started working crappy for me a few weeks back, and I moved to VPlayer, which works great now. I've even encoded 2000 bit 800x480 movies for it and it works fine. Rockplayer started really hiccuping on avis, no clue why.
720p video plays better on the default player than on Rockplayer as long as it is MP4 (well the default player hardly plays anything else)
im having problems locating any video player that will play a movie i have on my tablet, its mp4, the thing is im running starburst uekmb rom and i know i was able to pkay this movie with the stock rom... I dont want to go back to stock just to play a simple video... But any and all video players in the market just refuse to play it just like the galery and built in video player, others are out of sync with the sound, and the ones that arent out of sync play te video in spurts, so the screen looks like its glitching out.
So is there a way to fix this, a video player that will work with my device or some sort of codec thing like in windows to make the built in player play almost anything?
Get diceplayer from the market.

i prefer moboplayer, but it still can't play all the videos, i use a video tool introduced by Foxreal to deal with videos that can't be supported, the result is just what i expect
hi all..,
i want a video player which plays all format including mkv,flv...
i tried several...but found one ... QQPlayer...
the problem is......even though i had hybrid data2sd enabled..it installed in internal memory and took 5-6 MB
any other video player...which play all formats for G3...without lag..??
need ur comments....
pls...if possible...anybody could upload or PM me...apk of best video player for G3...
Frankly speaking i dont use this phone for watching videos. If i have to; i use the stock one. I have heard is Double Twist player is good. It has both music and video support. I have also heard that Mobo Player is good. Try these both and see which suits you.
BTW It really doesnt make a difference for which player you use. All are mostly the same but have different UIs
use rockplayer.its the best.plays everything,even streaming from some sites like iphoneanime.net
Yup, All players I have tried play other formats (flv, mkv) with lags and unsync sound using software decoding. It will be useful if anyone gave good video player.
I use MXplayer since it has a option of fast SW decoding mode. Just don't like it's UI for video list.
MXvideoplayer - didn't see any flow in it, everything is as to my wishes.

guys..mx video player sucks...very badly...don't use...
qq player is the best...
try a movie at 30fps...qqplayer plays very well...while mx player lags...
One more problem with MX is when using Soft decoding, it disables sound after some seconds. Moboplayer plays well but lags when showing playing interface. I use QQPlayer as alternative, It plays soft decoding Videos nicely while keeping as much sync with music as it can, so far so good!
MX is good if want to work with different options like zoom, color etc. Smooth while playing. Though need to fix lot of issues.
Moboplayer for User interference but lags. Lags while playing in Stretched Full Screen mode too.
Rockplayer, never tried.. slow for me so wouldn't recommend.
Overall- QQPlayer looks best one so far.
Do not open new thread.On my g3 watching lots of movies, but I have a problem with this type of movies: BRRip XviD, BDRip XviD, and AC3.Koristim mvideo player and the best is what I tried, but it cant open this one.I tried mxvideo , mobovideo, BSplayer with codecs. I have a problem with the image and tone, is there a player that can smooth it runs all formats? Thank you
Sorry for bad english.Google translate.
Tried all players mentioned here earlier..finally found Kascend Video player that works perfectly with CM7.
I will try.Thanks

I'm sorry but that's a lousy player...even the stock player works better than it, and MX is tons better, if you're using it for anything thats a blu-ray rip or mkv file. The QQ didn't even detect half of my bd-rips! Next time do some real time research before pitching an app.
Qqplayer was a great one but vplayer is beter

Anyone have a favorite video player? I want something that will play all types of files, like MP4, AVI, MKV.
Aside from finding the 'best' one, a problem is when I download something like MX Video Player, I see all these add-on apps like codexes that are for specific processors. Which should I choose?
Thanks for any help or advice.
I think this question was already answered in another forum... but I downloaded MX Player and didn't have to install any codecs. For my atrix the mx player app prompted me to download... i think the armv7. But for the note, everything just played fine. I didn't get to try mkv's though.
MX Player can play 1080p mkv's just fine in hardware mode.
I use that in conjunction with file manager with samba support to stream from my NAS.
Another vote for MX player. I've even uninstalled the stock video player and just use the MX player for my main video player.
MX player will automatically prompt a codec download if needed. You don't need one with the Note.
Dice player is another good one but it had some slight lag when I was watching a movie which was disappointing. That never happened to me before with dice.
Loving vlc alpha. No pros in software or hardware mode with a 720p movie for 3+ hours.
I find MX to be jittery in HW mode on many video files (doesnt happen to me on my international Note). I run in SW mode but the quality appears to be slightly worse..?

Yeah MX seems to be a bit jittery with my .MPG files... it wont even play them in HW mode, i have to use SW mode.. and even then i have to use SW Mode Fast Decoder to get it to play properly
however the quality looks excellent to me. I'm still amazed by this f*ckin screen. 1000x better then my atrix.
Anybody know the best conversion settings for Handbrake? I read on another site that these were good choices, but seem to be for International version:
Video
Codec- H.264
Resolution- 1280×720/1280×800 (HD)
Bitrate- 1500kbps
Framerate- 30fps
Audio
Codec- AAC
Sampling rate- 44.1khz
Bitrate- 160kbps
Channel- stereo
I use Moboplayer and it seems to work fine. I wish vlc would be final.

MX Player has been working great for me...
Rockplayer and dice play everything I need.
Mx player will attempt to play anything you throw at it. I used it until I realized that's not necessarily a good thing. It will play files that it can't play well...with no video, with audio sync issues, at half desperate, or down-scaled. Not what I wanted.
I use CIFS Manager to mount windows shares locally. This give you access to more players. If you have issues, a TVersity install may be an option.
Can anyone recommend the best Android video playback app? There are literally dozens on the play store. I find that the stock video player with the G Pad plays AVI and MP4 just fine but cannot handle MKV files. Would definitely require an app that uses hardware acceleration as well.
Thanks
I downloaded MX Player and seemed to do well.
MX Player is obviously the best player..
yeah mx player. One additional reason is that it supports so many different subtitles formats
Another benefit of mx player is follows:
If you pin a movie from Google play and it uses a lot of space, you can then use a file manager and go-to the folder and move the movie too your sd card. Out will have a funny name with a gem extension, but mx player can then be configured to look for that extension and still play it, saving valuable space on our internalso storage.

I use MX Player too. Does everything I want. Plenty of settings to display the elapsed/remaining time, etc. I haven't found any format that doesn't work with it.
Last week, i wanted to open some old videos from my old camera. It was formated as quick time, default player nothing, with mx, all videos played just fine.
One more vote for MX player. I use VLC at home, and have dabbled with Mobi, QQ and others on Android, but MX is the most solid overall player around. I watch a lot of stuff with subtitles and this rocks for it. If only the native player were nearly as good!

mx is pretty good and I paired it with Mizuu to organized my movies. Archos is also a good up and coming player.
I wanted to say that MX player is the best one. But I don't think that will be necessary.

MX Player
My vote is for MX player. I have the premium version and it works great on my phone, Gpad, and my son's Nexus 7.
MX is good. I also like Diceplayer lots.
+1 for MX player
MX player is really good to use. Very easy to use gestures for increasing volume, brightness, forward/rewind among other things.
+1 for MX Player.
I'm also experimenting with the MediaMonkey Beta, which plays OKand handles libraries as well too.
Well MX player is no doubt the best player, some other options could be moboplayer, vp player, rock player. Check with all and choose the one that will be more compatible with your device.
Just popping back to this thread to report that I've been playing with the stock video player on this thing and it's actually not bad at all. It supports added subtitle files (haven't tried embedded ones just yet) and the brightness and volume controls are basically the same as MX Player. The scan function is also pretty cool, showing a little preview of the point you're scrolling to before you tap on it to go to that point. Works with all formats I've tried so far, and I've also started to appreciate having the player going in the background (and transparent) while I'm twittering away about stuff.
Anyone else play with and like the stock player? Any shortcomings you can think of?

I was an MX fan (and still am) but Dice player has a nice variable playback speed function. It makes watching some programmes a bit easier, and certainly quicker!
Both seem to farm out the decoding to hardware and that saves battery.
Diceplayer for the samba-ftp no frills browser. I have been streaming from my ubuntu file server without a problem.

I agree, the LG video player - and its Streaming Player facility - is an excellent piece of software; probably the most capable video player to come bundled with a tablet.
That said, MX player handles streamed video better, with virtually no buffering. The LG player tends to buffer quite a bit - and I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere to increase its cache..
