best video player for samsung galaxy s3 i9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I used many deodex roms for my s3 : aokp , super nexus , cyanogen
all r smooth and awesome except video player
i want stock s3 video player which is awesome and smooth in hd video playing.
so my question is can i have a chance to install s3 stock video player in deodex roms ?
sorry for my bad english .
thank u

Unfortunately I am unsure as I think it requires some other touchwiz jazz but I would always recommend "mx player" from the market , it is amazing the number of file extensions it supports and how quick it is
Regards
Jack

"deodex roms" is a very general term. many Samsung based custom roms are also deodexed. afaik u can have it only in a Samsung based custom Rom or miui. aokp aosp cm will not have it

I made this same question a time ago..
I tested many video players and this is THE BEST ONE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&feature=search_result
It can play ANYTHING, ANY format, and you can download more codecs if you want.
It has gestures controls and everything else.
I've bought the ad-free version.

I 2nd the MX player.

I much prefer Mobo Player to MX.

MX Player is by far the best video player imo. I've tested all if the top video players and MX triumphs them all.
Mobo player is also a great video player, I have it as a secondary video player.

MX player is a for sure winner here. It plays pretty close to every format, fast, simple, smooth.

Mx at its best:thumbup:

Another MX user here... So, you have your answer. Lets have thread rest

Though MX player is great and II have used it for years. BS player plays a much better quality than MX. I now use BS player.

mx is great but stock in GS3 trumps with shortcuts

VIDEO Player?

Hey Guys!, ive tried numerous video players and none of them are as good as some of the standard Video player in some custom roms! im currently using Evira 2.8 and it doesnt have the video player installed and can for the life of me find it. i was using Sensation Rom by crysis and before that i was using the VK rom. the satandard player on those 2 roms played everything i threw at it and the likes of MX video player and loads more didnt play as much ( no sound or sound but no video)
can someone point me in the right direction to the standard video player that they have used in their roms please?
cheers.

Stock Video App...is there a better alternative?

Long time reader, first time poster!!!
Just wondering, is there a better alternative to the stock Samsung Video?
The Video app plays just about every video format I throw at it? Is there a better alternative or is the Video app the pinnacle of the S2 multimedia experience?
Any advice or recommendations welcome.

try MX Player
MX Player is best around.
I like MX Player, has lots of codecs, it's quite customizable and it's designed to work with dual-cores.
Superb...thanks to all.

as previous MX player is damn good and the codec pack works really well. The adblocker will pretty much block all the adds same as the pro
Also an MX fan, but have installed Diceplayer too.
On a custom MIUI ROM I'm testing, MX couldn't hw decode a couple of mkv 720 files I had, but Diceplayer can. Some files are tricky that way - will play flawlessly on one player but not another.. Do all my decoding with MeGUI, but haven't found One Profile To Rule Them All.
The first four things I did on my SGS1 and both my SGS2s were throw the stock phones in the trash, root, uninstall the stock video player and ditto the stock video player
A couple of other good ones that that play most videos are RockPlayer and VPlayer. Give them all a try and see which you like. (never hurts to have 2 or 3 installed in case you get a vid that doesn't play on one).

[Q] SlimBean 2.4 i9100 - MX Player (video codecs)

Hello,
I have an i9100 running Slimbean 2.4. I have an issue playing back video files. Slimbean 2.4 does not come with a video player, so I installed MX Player, but even via the ARMv7 codec it does not play any files.
I have tried MX Player on the i9100 using CM10 nightly, NeatRom, and Samsung original (rooted), and here it plays the files without an issue.
I tried to move the Video Player from the Samsung stock to SlimBean, but of course this failed horribly.
Any advice?

Download Dice player or Bsplayer. Both are very good and works well in Jellybean with any need for any codec again.
Mxplayer is good but is note m not that compatible with Jellybean.

Thanks for the app recommendations, I will try them, since right now I am using a V Player. I think it was called V Player, but I tried so many and most do not offer good software decoding or proper hardware decoding.
However, MX Player was updated a few days ago to support Jelly Bean. And again if it works in CM10, which is JB based, then it should work in SlimBean... or not?

Yeah! But it still doesn't work well for me even after the so called update.
Those apps i recommended use their own integrated hw accelerated codecs even on AOSP ROMs and therefore will not freeze your phone unlike players like Vplayer or Mxplayer, that works with their own sw accelerated codecs alone.

Thanks for the advice. I tried both DICE and BS Player, the UI on BS is a bit to big and clunky for me, so I seltted on DICE. After trying it for a few hours, DICE has certainly become my favourite new player. I will even start using it on my other Android devices.
Again, thanks for the help!
My God, DICE player is so very good!!
Thanks for the suggestion - very impressed with the pop-out video play!
For popup up video play use super video(but if mx does not work super wont work either)
Basically it has better pop up features
Free version can play 2 popups simultaneously
Full version can play more than that
DICE is the best(it even allows fast forward(2x speed)like VLC on mobile)

Best Video Player Battery-wise

I dont have a problem with playing videos, mx can pretty much play anything. But it doesnt even come close to the Video player Samsung has and it doesnt work on Cm10.1 . Mx player requires like 2X,3X the battery the vanila player needs. Any ideas?

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 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..
