Tried the trial of diceplayer from the market, and it played a 1080p .mkv with ac3 audio perfectly (even via MHL to my TV). Just wondering if there is a free version of this app (maybe like how SetCPU is free to xda members)? If not is there any alternative that can handle .mkv/ac3?

For those people that bought the plugins for archos 70, is there a noticeable difference compared to using vplayer.
I'm considering if it's worth to buy the plugin
Don't have an answer to question above but vplayer is a great alternative to stock media player.

@izrephyl:
You might be alittlebit missinformed.
The payable plugins are only there to get MPEG2 and AC3 working natively.
Everything else is working with the stock videoplayer.
And vplayer/rockplayer and every other SW player is playing OK as long as it is no HD material.
HD is only really playable by the native apps.
I've tried every darn free player app in the market and had no great results. Either there is lag when watching videos, or there is bad pixelation/divxing. Or it won't play the files.
What do you guys use on you flyers to play HD video content? Something suitable for .mkvs and .movs...
I use DicePlayer on my Flyer and Desire HD, and 720p mkv's play flawlesly. Well worth those 3€ for the application!

Thanks. I've tried the trial version. Mkvs play well. .movs and .wmvs dont play well. It uses software acceleration for movs so its a bit choppy, though the sound works. .wmvs video is off by a second.
Wondering which ones you guys use on X2.
I want to be able to play some 720P videos streamed from my NAS device.
I tried MX player (just ok), so far, dice player appears to be working well, but wondering what else is out there.
Thanks.
VLC will always be king in my book, both on mobile and desktops... Nothing else compares to it
from my X2 roaming the north
mVideoPlayer is my player of choice.
I havent really looked into third party video players yet. Are there any video players where you can adjust the brightness, contrast, etc.?
Just using stock but open to suggestion's..
Issue with stock:
Many videos will play without audio.
No stream play capability = must copy files internally from my NAS server.
I am currently using MX video player. Works pretty well.
Just wondering what people are using.
Thanks.
I had the same deal, streaming DLNA
here are a few tries for you

Wrong thread.
i too use mx video player. most versatile one ive found so far
I use BSPlayer lite
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
Supports mkv, subtitles, hardware acceleration and has built in samba support for streaming files over network.
Haven't tried it on my X2 since I don't watch videos on it but works great on Xoom.

I noticed that mx player can NOT do hardware decode over SMB network stream.
Once I move the file locally, it plays fine.
I'm checking to see if the snapdragon 800 / adreno 330 at the heart of the xperia Z ultra can playback mkv bluray rips made using makemkv (free while in beta, aka forever) from makemkv.com. (caution resulting file can be 15-30GB)
I'd like to hear if anyone has tried it, either off a SNB (windows) share on a 801.11 N or AC wireless network or right from the microsd card.
The best apps to try for playback are:
bsplayer
Archos Video player (with codec add-on for sound)
VLC nightlys (not available in the play store, google for the apk)
I'm considering getting this phone or another based on the snapdragon 800 and want to know if it can flawlessly playback these files and for bonus points if anyone has successfully been able to output the playback over MHL/HDMI cable to a larger 1080p display.
Thanks!
i play my 1080p Movie mp4 rips and they perform great
tho the video app cant play avi video formats sadly
I use 'dice player' and it works well for mkv file even streaming.

I'm guessing these are re-compressed 1080p movies. I want to know if the phone can handle playback of the actual video streams on the bluray itself. MakeMKV rips the actual video streams and puts them all in a mkv container. The resulting file is often 20-30GB, not the 5-10GB of the 1080p files I'm guessing you tried. BTW, if you try the apps I listed above (diceplayer too as was recommended) you will have no trouble playing back those old AVI files.
720p 10bits mkv ( vlc/mx player) flawless

Great testing, looking forward to your results tonight! Is your link speed on wireless close to 300Mbit?
Also, try Archos (google: archos video player apk and Archos Video All Codecs Plugin) and bsplayer are good ones to try.
Great to hear about 10bit 1080p anime releases too!
Thanks a bunch!
Sorry forum the late replay hadden lot of work @ one's
Basic only blourays are a no go unless. U stream. Trough vlc
Normal Dvd,s work as long as u dont skip
My wireless is 300 also.

So apparently there's been a big stink about DTS support and it's a hassle coupled with a headache to get working. Anyone know a quick guarantied way to get video files with DTS audio working?
Dice Player is the only one that I have found to really support DTS Audio files. It also has nice features like a video pop out window similar to the stock video player.
EDIT:
Looks like Archos Player does it as well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.videofree
If you grab the free codec pack it plays everything I throw at it including DTS, AC3, etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m4rk3t.libcopy2
As an added bonus, the Archos Player pulls in meta data for movies and tv shows on your device. Pretty slick, just purchased the "Pro" version after playing with it for just a few minutes, and it looks to become my new default video player.
After playing various media files of multiple different codecs via my networked media server... I now say forget about Dice Player, and go with Archos. Can't do cool stuff like pop out video, but it plays EVERYTHING (if the codec pack is installed)!
i bought to archos pro the day it came out. i loved the player on my 101it and couldn't wait for a version to come out for other tablets. that free codec is just icing on the cake.
it's like combining mizzu and the old bs player into one. there haven't been many movies that it can't play. i've even put it on my daughter's memopad hd7. none of the other players can handle the files as well as the free archos (she didn't get the pro version).
Thanks guys. Archos did indeed work out very well. The video is a little big grainier than it is on MX Player but having sound is a very nice trade off imo
Is there any other reason to buy the pro version besides it being ad-free?
i haven't noticed problems with the free version, but i haven't used my daughter's tablet a lot and she hasn't complained about any problems.
Never heard of this program before but I like the layout of it and it works well w/ the things I am trying to stream

MX player can play dts audio i believe. You have movies downloaded that play without sound right? Go into mx players settings and under decoder set everything to hw+ After that It should start playing them no problem. If that doesn't work here is a quick quide on how to install DTS codec into MX player

Will need a custom decoder which can be downloaded from the play store. For mx player it is the arm v neon... but like the poster above me mentioned, mx player will play anything you can throw at it.

I had the same problem. After trying several apps, i found the solution with vlc.
VLC for Android Beta. (As a new user I can't post links outside... :laugh: , so you have to look for in in the Playstore)
Currently it's even my favorite video player. Good luck. :good:
