I'm getting really sick of this.
Android can't seem to play video files smoothly whereas my old WinMo 6.1 device could play them just fine without conversion.
All I want is to be able to convert your run of the mill 350 MB TV show to an MP4 and run it on Android. It seems no matter what I try, I always get choppy video.
What's your strategy for getting this to work? A specific app you use to play or encode, perhaps?

DicePlayer hands down best video player IMO, uses hardware acceleration, plays 720P MKV flawlessly and even heard reports of 1080p with smooth playback.

Well holy crap. Dice Player is fantastic! Not a single hint of lag or choppiness, AND it plays my 350 MB TV shows out of the box with no conversion.
Anyone who wants to give it a try, they have a 3day trial here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial
It's well worth it, I'm buying it today.
Thanks for the tip
I ripped this short film I was an extra in and converted it to MP4. Ran like **** with rockplayer but played fine with the stock video player. Btw here it is if you want to check it out. Give you a hint (I'm RICH *****!).

It's amazing how Dice Player can run so smoothly, and the others cannot. Thumbs up.

For those of you who are familiar with DicePlayer, this is another player which is capable of playing Matroska (MKV) format files with ease!
Just install its FREE version from the Market, run the player and it will prompt for a relevant codec update, which in our case is (ARMv7), thats it! Now you can play all your .MKV file without need of DicePlayer!

Nobody should be using MKV file to begin with. Its a dead technology that was never and will never be supported by devices.

Sry man but this is kinda stupid.
MKVs have best ratio as a video container (measured by compression and file size) so why do you say its a dead technology even its highly supported by the community?

Thanks. I might be going about this the wrong way.
I just noticed that Win8 has a Windows Phone app. I suppose that it adds support for transfers and conversions. Not sure because I don't have my Lumia 920 yet.

On the MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC there is a video player called 2160p. This video player can play SBS 3D videos.

I have an Acer passive 3D monitor that hasn't got an option to watch SBS videos in 3D. The only format it supports is interlaced.
I just got myself an Android mini-pc. The Uhost 2. I was hoping I could use the 2160p Player to view SBS videos in interlaced 3D.
The 2160p Player installs fine on the device and the Gallery works. But when I select a video to play, it crashes.
I am not sure if its a buggy app or if it only works on the AllWinner A10 processor. I am hoping someone could have a look at it and see if it's possible to get it working on other devices.
There definitely seems to be a market for this app:
http://www.freelancer.co.uk/projects/Mobile-Phone-Android/stereoscopic-video-player-for-ipad.html
up
just to let the Professionals in this forum understand you more
this stereoscopic player turns any regular movie into a 3d movie that you can watch with any type of 3d glasses
and for that of course i join you guys on your request
please xda developers take care of this app called "2160p player" which is also known under another name "Gallery"
i tried to install this app on AOPK 4.2.2 with no success,i think it is for allwinner tablets only
we hope that xda developers will some how manage to let this app run under all type of android devices
here is a link for that App "http://www.mediafire.com/?7s5bj8yb8sjzcxb
Sorry, I know this thread is a bit old.
as vetusa2 mentioned, this software only seems to work with Allwinner A10's. however, it does more than the 3d upconvert, it actively converts sbs to anaglyph--something I would find extremely useful, since my evo3d no longer works. I have found myself with loads of 3d videos and no way to view them in 3d without converting them individually.
so, has anyone taken it upon themselves to rebuild this package for other cpus? Or, alternatively, has anyone found another player with these capabilities?

Hello everyone,

It works pretty well with music but when it comes to play movies or games there's an annoying audio delay .
Any solutions to fix this ?
Thanks
There is no solution. Every bluetooth accessory has a delay

i thought it might have been just some bad encoded files when i noticed this issue but looking back at other files i never had problems with i didn't have this issue until after i did the update. wish i knew the exact delay then i could adjust for it on all my files with bs player you can adjust audio offset.
It's an android issue. The delay is anywhere between 0.5 and 1 second. Custom roms like cm have corrected it I believe.

Thanks, I've done some research and yes it seems to be normal .
I was pretty disappointed since i bought this for playing movies and games , i wasn't aware of this issue :/
I can adjust the audio offset with my main player Diceplayer but it's just not convenient because that delay seems to varie, even on a same movie .
I tried a few video players and i couldn't believe, i have no issue with MX player, i can even skip forward or back, no lag, synced like it's wired lol
Dunno why it works, tried with mp4. avi, 1080 mkv so i'll just use Mx player when using my bluetooth speaker :laugh:
Streaming over lan makes the videos lag a lot though..
Netflix , games are out of sync except a few ones

Oh wow anyone can confirm ? i was on custom rom few days ago but i did not have my bluetooth speaker at that moment, will get back to CM if it works
This App allows you to set the minimum and maximum vlc playback speed.
I developed it, to view videos made with my phones highspeed camera in slow motion!
Requirements: VLC
Download it here: Xposed Repository
Please report if you liked the module and how it could be improved!
It would be nice, if someone could test it with lollipop.

Hi.
Does this work on the 5.1.1 alpha v65? Looks cool for GoPro videos

Why not? It modifies app, not system.

As pyler said it should work, because I just modified the vlc app.
Have fun watching your videos in Slow Motion
I appreciate your work very much. Could this be possible with Mx player (popular video Player of Android)?
I know MX player, but it isn't open source, and there is no speed setting included
Vlc has nearly the same features, inluding swiping for brightness etc. Because of that I switched from Mx to VLC .
suggestion
Hello , I do not run android 4.3, you can improve speed allowing the videos of other players , including youtube . I know you can encourage !!!!!!!!
would like ios has an app that is called fast forward cydia .
Greetings and happy new year.
MX player don't need to do Xposed module anymore since new alpha build already have this feature
here is some of their changelog
Supports playback speed control. Speed can be changed on [Menu > Play > Speed] or by swiping up/down with two fingers. This feature is not available with HW decoder before Android 6.

The beta of mx player (https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build) does have a speed option!
To use it start a video and follow these steps:
select the "SW decoder" mode
press menu and select "Play" -> "Speed"
This Xposed module is just an addition to vlc, to allow speed changes in vlc!
