Hi,
I am new to using Android. I am wondering if there is any video (MP4) player that would continue playing the video even when I use the home button to switch to other apps (e.g. check my email etc.) I have a few documentaries/discussions to watch and sometimes minimize the video player to check other information on my phone and the video stops.
I would be grateful if you can suggest any Video players that continue playing when minimized. I know that the Meridian Player continues playing when the screen is switched off, but it stops if you press the home button.
Thank you,
O. O.
(I use a Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean.)
Mobo Player puts the video in a small little box when you push the home button, similar to the SGS3 function.

Thanks gagdude That works for me. For others: Ensure you use the zoom out buttons on the box to shrink its size.

If I am reading it correctly someone is already working on the VLC port to android, I am wondering if there was any progress made.
Also, am interested in mplayer port, since the stock video player loaded on the device does not preserve the pause status, so if I am watching a movie and pause it, once I go back to the home screen to do something else and back to the movie I am in for a big surprise - I have to fast forwarded from the beginning to the point I left off.
I've heard for a while now that a android version of VLC is on the way but its only been whispers i've heard and i dunno about any progress. The stock video player isnt that bad despite the lack of some codecs. If you hit the menu button you should be able to set a bookmark on the video for the next time you load it up. Just hit menu then select the bookmark and you're back to where you left off. I use it all the time at work when i slack off and watch Mythbusters on my Vibrant.
Thanks for the tip!
I hope the all around polished media player comes to Android pretty soon.
Hmm don't see the bookmark option under menu

How do you play the Divx registration video on the Vibrant? I get an error in Video Player trying to play the .divx file I downloaded from divx.com and can't register the Vibrant now.
Hi guys,
I have been using the phone for 1 week now. Each time I play a video file (xvid/dvix) encoded using Rockplayer/Moboplayer, my phone randomly hangs. The only way out is to.restart the phone. Has anyone else experienced same issue? This only happens while video playback is going on. And mostly it hangs at exactly same position in the file as before. These files used to play fine on Nexus One and iPhone, so the files are ok. Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

I can't give you a reason why they hang, but i do have a question...
why not use the player on the Galaxy? It's perfectly fine and can handle almost any file type and 1080p HD vids...
I'm using moboplayer, not getting what youre talking about at all. Plays smoothly. And as to the 2nd post for why not use stock player?
Well I watch videos on this while I do cardio everyday... a little over an hour each day. Moboplayer has touch controls. You can swype different parts of the screen in different directions. For example: adjust brightness, skip forward/backward, and control volume. Its a bit easier to use than stock player cause of that. That's my only reason really.

I wish I could just do that. The issue is that same media when played from SD card, plays via internal player. However it says "Video can not be played" when played via upnp. I have tried both allshare and skifta. Same issue.
I watch different stuff when at home, since it is on a NAS which has a upnp server, it makes more sense not having to transfer all that stuff.

What im looking for is something like the youtube app . when you are in the internet browser , and you click on a youtube video , the youtube app opens and plays the video you clicked .
Well when i'm on my anime sites , i would love for an app to open up and play those videos i clicked in a much nicer UI as its hard to seek and pause when you have to press the tiny scroller and tiny pause button .

Hi there
I flashed 4.0.4 on my Xperia U. When i try to watch LIVE STREAMS, fullscreen button acts like a play/pause button so i can't make the video full (this happens after i start the stream without full screen). If i press fullscreen before play, it goes fullscreen but i can;t make the steam start, even if i push the play button.
Please try on your NXT devices and post results / solutions.
Thanks
I use MX video player for all my video's, online streaming and offline and I have no problems.
What do you use to watch the streaming services?

nothing...just stock browser.
Whenever I click on a video in my browser it opens the video in an extremely simple video player. It has only play/pause controls and forward/back plus a progress bar. Unless I have auto rotate on (which I rarely do) it does not rotate when I turn the phone. Other video apps on my phone do allow me to rotate the video.
It doesn't seem to be embedded in the browser as the same app launches from both chrome & dolphin.
What I want to do, is figure out which app it is and change the defaults so that I can launch a more flexible video player.
Does anyone know the name of the app, or how I can figure it out?
