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

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
ok folks, I'm still a big android noob, so forgive if this is not proper android terminology, but is there a way to install more codecs for the video player?
or do I just need a seperate video player app?
some vids are playing without sound (and actually won't play at all from the dlna app, but plays w/o sound from the gallery>dlna)
and another one plays, but "seek is not supported"

Built in codecs are limited by the Tegra2 (Specs: http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-2.html) However, you can install a different video player with software codecs that work pretty well with almost every format until you get to resolutions of around 720p, then you get skipping.
Download MoboPlayer. It'll automatically install the needed files for your phone. Real solid.

nice player, better than stock, but still some videos no video but audio, other ones no audio but video...
Check out rockplayer. There's a free version in the market
I have been using mxvideo player with arm7(something) codec. If u install mxvideo player and open it will auto detect the codec u need. Has been working very nice for me I also used QQplayer which was alright.
well, mobo player seems like the nicest interface, but rock player is the only one that consistently works
thanks for the recommendations guys
Has anyone tried playing any HD MKV's through the Rezound? If so, does it handle it better than Tegra 2 and utilize the screen well?
i've got a bunch of 720P .mkv files i've tried out. for the most part they play fine, but occasionally there's a slight "out-of-sync" issue. it seems the 2 best apps to use for playing these files are Dice Player and MX Video Player. the weird thing is, sometimes when a sync issue occurs, for instance if it's in MX, i'll try playing in Dice instead and it'll play fine... but there's times it'll happen the other way around to. of course, considering that the OS isn't really designed to take advantage of multi-core CPU's + the b.s. Sense & bloatware on the phone don't help either.
I have seen the same type of files play on the Galaxy Nexus as well(but through the stock player) and the GN had similiar issues as well though.. so... hmmm.. !!
Theyplay fine with moBo player for me

What's your video properties? I just tried to play Transformers: Dark of the Moon and it stutter forever.
I saw the videos in the gallery that come preloaded on the device and they look amazing. I want to be able to take my HD MKV's and have then look good and play as fluid as the pre-loaded ones. Any suggestions for that or conversion?
There is a vlc media player beta floating around in the nook color threads. It works pretty fing good, mobo seems to do the job as well. I have found that it depends on how, or what it was encoded with. I will try and post a link to the vlc file in awhile. Good luck.

ok here's one that'll play slightly "out-of-sync":
Regular Show - 309 - House Rules (720p).mkv
MPEG4 video (.H264)
1280x720 23.98fps
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch
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.
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:
