DicePlayer works great on the Prime. MKVs are super smooth!

Description
*** Currently can not purchase the full version because the checkout account is suspended.
You should remove it from xda ASAP.
You should remove this (but thanks)
this player is perfect, nothing I have used can come close to matching its performance. 8 gig high profile 1080p movies play flawlessly with no lag at all skipping to any point in the movie. very cool
played 11gig movie from mxplayer over DLNA still smooth
I was trying to play some 1080p stuff on my prime and it was lagging and eventually just quit. It was a x264 mkv file with ac3 codex for sound). When I try to play it in mx player, so it's smooth with h/with acceleration but has no sound. The I tried running it on my pc and it worked fine.

Haven't tried MX Videoplayer on the Prime just yet, but it's playback isn't as good as Dice Player on every other device I've used it in.
Video playback demo video - Dice Player playing everything:
I threw a 17gb 1080p MKV of Jurassic Park on my Prime and watched it with DicePlayer. Fantastic playback.

I just hooked the USB cable up to my computer and navigated to the internal memory and dropped the file into the "Movies" folder. it took almost an hour to transfer it.
Oh, and in the Market there's "DicePlayer plugin for tegra2". I have that installed. See if that works.

I removed DICE last night due to the LAN streaming limitations. BS Player worked so much better for me and played even more than DICE did for me.

BS player is the ticket, especially with no paid version of dice player available.

What LAN streaming limitations?
Just use ES File Explorer on the LAN tab create entries for your samba shares, navigate to your media collection and when you tap to play the movie you can choose which player to launch it with. Works great with DicePlayer.

Did you copy it to internal memory or an SD card? If to an SD card how is it formatted? You may need to format the SD card as NTFS to properly support large file sizes on the Prime.

Tried ES File Explorer, but the load time was too long to start a large file. With BS it is instant.

Load time may be a little longer (by like 3-5 seconds) but BS Player is noticeably choppier when actually playing high def content (yes I have HW acceleration on).

Full version, most recent (at the time of filming earlier in the week at any rate, it updated today).
BTW everyone, an ad-supported version is now live in the Android Market.

BSplayer is good to. But I miss that there are no controller/option to adjust the subtitle sync.
There, both Dice and MX has an advantage that they have multiple settings for the subtitle.
I would recommend BS Player Lite.... I tried DICE, MX, Mobo, Vplayer and many others last night and BS was the only one that would play everything (even 1080p) smoothly, even over a network connection from a local share. Best part, it's free!!
Market location: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
Tips for best playback:
- If you use it over a network, go into BS Player and use its LAN mode. The decoder must be the BSEngine Hardware Decoder to stream.
- For local playing content, change the decoder to the system hardware decoder and not the BSEngine hardware decoder. Works so much better.
So far I have been able to play (both locally and streaming from a network share), 1080p and 720p video including DTS Audio from the following formats: MKV, WMV, AVI, F4V, MP4, FLV, DIVX and M4V.
Just tried it on an 1080p file. System HW decoder- video looks great but no sound. BS Player HW decoder- video looks like crap but audio works. Having the same issues with mxplayer. Very dissapointing.

Dice player seems to be king of media players. just make sure if you watching movie from internal memory/external or removable(micro SD card) that its using HW decoding.
I Agree with the OP ... BSPlayer has been flawless for every video bar 1 for me ... Dice player isnt free but the trial was the same as BSPlayer for the files i tried.
How do you connect in lan mode? When I go in LAN MODE my ip adress is already in. I cant change it. I put in user name and pw and i get an invalid host message.

Your file is to blame.

I use the BSPlayer as well. Works perfectly. I also use the Lan mode and stream from my Windows 7 machine. 1080p .mkv movies are sometimes laggy, but sometimes they aren't. I think it differs from file to file because of its size and my local network isn't fast enough.
Did not play my mp4 version of a high res movie only really slow! Tried multiple settings and now I am back to mx

I'm using DICE + ES File Explorer to stream 720p videos on my Galaxy Tab and it works great. Can't wait to try the same combo with TF Prime
I also tried it on Prime and it works. Full HD sometimes still lags on wifi streaming (smb through ES explorer) but pausing for a minute sometimes help. The best player I tried, and I tried a lot of them.
thank you very much, dude it helps me
I'm using mx video player and it does a decent job on 720p and 1080p
Playback with soft decoding.
What Have u guys found? Can u recommend anything better?

Try BSPlayer (free on the market).
I've only found 1 video so far that it refused to play.
BSPlayer has played everything I've thrown at it.
i played a 16gig bluetooth rip of the matrix last night on my tab over my home network on my TV. it was glorious. this is why i bought this tablet
I use MX Player but still trying to find a player that will play 10bit 720p files correctly
Dice Player worked for me for 720 and 1080

No luck with MoboPlayer?
dice player worked for me. Loaded ironman 2 1080p into my SD card, and played flawlessly. Dice is only a HW player though so when I play my avi files, sometimes I usually need to use MX player.
What is the quality of AVI videos when you play it? I had problem with quality on original Transformer - a strange grid of dots all over the movie in most players (in one there was no grid but the movie looked like i had 100 colours at most).

Nope ill try again I was testing a ton of video players the other night lol
Just played three of my 720p high profile MKV movies using BS Player with no problems at all. My Xoom cannot play these. Very happy about this and was one of my biggest gripes about Xoom/Tegra 2.
I downloaded a 14gig MKV (the movie was 300) and played perfect on the tab with the file local on its HD. Streaming.. I need more bandwith for that
I thought ICS was suppose to support MKV by default. I am able to play video but get no sound.
Dice player works fine as it did on 3.2 but was expecting the built in player to work.
Can anyone confirm?

I think it is a software issue.
Prior to ICS, and I couldn't play a mkv file.. Now I get video but no sound just like you. A step in the right direction. Hopefully will be fixed with an update.

You can use MX video player and chose an alternate music stream and that plays the sound. You can choose the alternate stream from the music icon at the top when you are playing the Video file.
Hope that helps.
Give QQplayer from the market a try.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tencent.research.drop
Try BSPlayer Lite from the market for your mkv files. It's free and seems to work well.
I also got no sound from my TFP with ICS with other players.
You don't get sound because the Prime doesn't support the audio codec of whatever video you are trying to play.
i use v player. Always works smoothly with mkv. And if its one of those movies that doesn't like to play right, it will work on mobo player. Mobo player is choppy on mkv for me so I use it as back up

It can support native MKV decoding but you need to take a look at the audio codec as the stock player probably does not support it.
Why would you want to use it anyways? Dice is amazing
I use Mobo Player for all my android devices.
I use Dice and this works smooth as well..
This is so frustrating. I installed every player imaginable and the only one that plays the mkv perfectly is Dice. The sound with the Dice Player is horrible and unlistenable though. All the other players play the sound perfectly, but the video is choppy on all of them. The mkv is a 1080p if that matters. I'm ready to blow a gasket over here !

hmm 720p so far, just checked it, will give u feedback when i checked a 1080p ^^
also thought it wouldn't accept the size of an 1080p full movie because of the fat?

That's why I formatted the card to NTFS.
Try MX Video Player. It play MKV from my USB HD too...
downloaded full movie 1080p 9gb, audio perfect same as 720p, which should be the same as well i think?
but still i did format it to ntfs pushed it over played it with dice, no issue at all
sorry mate can't help u further
what video support is there with the latest version (3.5 alpha)?
What video player app should I install or should I use stock video app?
What video codecs/wrappers are supported? I have tried playing h264 mp4, mkv, and normal xvid (not 720p), and none of them worked.
Dice player, it's the best video player of Android, but on TP it works very randomly
Try MX player.

I am getting video stutter on every video
ARMv7 NEON. Even with the codec pack, the APQ8060 could still have trouble with anything more than 720p HiP h264.

I have nothing higher than 720p high profile h264, but everything is stuttering especially with pan scan scenes
I've been using mobo player without any problems. Haven't tried anything higher than 720p h264.

Moboplayer or Mobo Video Player?
Also, which codec plugin did you installed?
The irony is that all the movies that these struggle with play beautifully on WebOS with Kalemsoft Media Player. Will they ever be able to port this over to Android?
For now, I guess i can reboot to webOS to watch a movie, but it is a pain since WebOS takes forever to boot up.
Ok, I finally found one player that plays most files pretty well. It is VLC player beta:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517415
The trick is to change the aspect ratio to "Center" so that it doesn't have to resize. Works great with 720p but will make anything less like 480 smaller.
Otherwise, you will get pixelation.
Still don't understand how you guys get MX player to work great. I get video stutter like crazy with high profile 720p videos.
I dont get why you are having so many issues.
I just downloaded mx player, nothing else and it plays my 1080 and 720 mkvs flawlessly..
I've been using rock player since my nook color days. It opens everything I can throw at it.
