The new VLC player for Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When is it available? I can't find the right player what handles all the streaming formats from mp3 till Windows Media Player files (asx, wma, mms://) etc. Something like the TCPMP player or Core Player for Windows Mobile.

VLC - when its done
I dont know exactly what formats mplayer supports but you could give it a try

Give "Rock player" a try. It plays everything I have.

Try it but only video...

i 2nd rock player. not a video format ive throwin its way it hasnt played

Rock Player is good. But VLC Stream and Convert already works. You can easily setup a VPN at home if you have trouble and it works flawlessly. Only challenge is transcoding Real Media files which are usually a ***** and quite rare anyway.

Meridian is decent

available beta
A beta of the vlc player is now available.

/sarcasm
ps: rock player and mobo is all you need.

[Q] No subs in .mkv, but I can see subs in .avi

Why is that? Is it because the file is softsubed instead of hardsubed? Can the default player in Galaxy S II play .srt files? Thanks.
not sure if the stock player can play .srt since i have any mkvs like that
but if stock don't want to, try either Mobo player or MX player ( the last update on the later is really nice with our SGS2).

Stock player plays .srt but you have to have it extract under the same name as the video file. Beside stock you could try Mx player, it's pretty amazing compared to stock.
just try another player..
like rock player..
Thanks guys! )
mvideoplayer is a great player and plays .srt files. I used to have this player and the only think made me change was that i bought the mhl cable to export the video through hdmi to my tv set and it couldn't display tha subs into the tv. Finally the solution to both was bsplayer. I hope i could answer your question and solve your problem.

Best Video Player for Samsung G3...Need Ur Comments...

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

Not sure if it'll work, but MoBo Player + codecs have been working good for me
as stated above moboplayer is great. make sure its moboplayer, no spaces. the other ones a knockoff. i used to love mobo until i came across mx player
Mxvideo player is also a good bet. Whilst I am not sure if mobo has more codec support than mx or has ones that are missing from mx, I do know mx has ones mobo is missing,
Mx video player
I'm using MX Video Player 1.5
thanks for answers, now i am using mx player

Give Mobo Player a shot.. you wont regret it
MoboPlayer is great ,and is one of the most downloaded apps ,so give it a shot
I have been using Mobo player and i like it
MoboPlayer is the best video player
+Mobo player, can play almost all video formats, though I have already got a giveaway edition of aneesoft video converter for my video conversions.
Mx player
MX player has 3 modes of rendering, HW, SW and SW fast..
I'm not sure about MOBO though..will give it a shot and post!!
Mobo player is the best
mx video player is great but make sure while you play 720P video,codecs for your device are installed
And proper codec should be installed according to your deevice like ARMv7 if you have Xperia Mini Pro

MX video player is the best for me. I've also tried Rock player, but I like MX more. The only negative point is that MX has ads in the free version, but it's not really disturbing)
mx video works great for me...
I'll try mobo video player. I had a problem with Mx video player, i have class 10 8gb SDcard but when I watching m720p movie I think it's not fluent.
I'm using something called QQ player, I think, but I'll check out Mobo.
Mobo player for sure

Movie playback

The Rezound plays my MP4 Movies great. Tried playing a Movie in AVI format and the stock player will not have it. I downloaded another video player from the Market and the Movie does play nearly as sharp as the stock player does with the MP4 Movies. Any Ideas? Is there a way of using the stock player with AVI??
Vinny
Maybe the format of the AVI is not comparable to the MP4 you played?
Have you tried MX Video Player? You didn't mention which player you tried.
go here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533389
it's actually best to just convert everything to mp4
Thanks for the imfo.
I use mobo player for everything else.. avi's (Divx/xvid's....etc.)
fantastic... the language is a little lost in translation but the app works wonderfully and has a nice interface for scanning/seeking and volume control while watching a video.
mobo is ok but I'm another who prefers mx player
Try diceplayer.
You can play 1080p+DTS/AC3/AAC MKV/AVI files with Full HW Acceleration.
and dice has SMB/FTP/HTTP support, you can play over 4GB files from PC and NAS.
Great info guys, thanks again. Checking them all out. Amazing the choices available.

Best Video Playback App?

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 the best for me

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..
