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)

Recently updated to ics rom, however, the stock video player no longer plays avi files as it did with gb rom. I have flashed several gb roms since (full wipe each time) and still won't play. I've tried several stock video apks from this forum too yet still no joy. I have read that Samsung have stopped supporting sum codecs on ics update (Galaxy nexus owners are having similar issues). I'm back on gb rom but avi is still not playing as I'm getting the 'unsupported file' message bearing in mind the same file played fine prior to ics update. How do I get back or reinstall the original codecs? Flashing gb roms doesn't fix it either!
Probably not the answer you want, but you could do worse than opening your wallet and buying MX Video Player or Dice Player.
I bought both, and have yet to find a file/codec that neither can play.
The stock player (I'm on GB too) borked too often for no reason on too many file types for me. Never tried it on ICS.
iv got mx player, it works when using sw decoder. use to work on hw encoder for both mx and stock player.
I have a couple of videos which play fine in MX with HW encoding, but with no audio. The same videos play fine with perfect audio in Dice with HW encoding.
Codecs are fussy buggers. I do all my own encoding with MeGUI/avisynth - no shortcuts - and still haven't found one profile for all, so I chop and change.
Only bought Dice a couple of weeks ago, but it's overtaken MX as my default player. There's a free version with intensely annoying nag banners if you want to try it.
Thanks for suggestion, but ultimately, I'd like the stock player to be working as it did with gb with hw decode. This ics update has been a disaster on sammys part, ruined the excellent vid player, ruined the phone apk wrt contact options been omitted. Maybe success is getting to them!
What version of ICS fw were you running or what ROM? I have had no problems whatsoever playing videos on ICS using stock. I use my phone a lot for watching videos and need it to function properly as I take the train to and from work a few hours a day. Were you running an AOKP or CM9 based rom?
If you still can't play when reverting back to GB, I'd suggest a full wipe, wpe cache/partition. Then flash a GB stock rom through ODIN. See if that works?
Tried that, still no joy. Was on gb kk5 rom. But now keep getting unsupported file!?
Cant we port galaxy s3 or s2 stock video player to our xperia,

If you are looking to play mkv files, there are plenty of those on the market
I don't think anyone would bother to spend the effort to port the player. Jus saying...

lol, its not the player, its the codecs you're looking for.
Try MX Player which came along with codecs, you will be happy !

MXplayer is the best one.....if u r looking to play 720p movies.....also try to overclock to 1.2ghz ....it will run smoothly.....1080p will not run though
MX Player and MX Player Codec (ARMv7) in software play .mkv files perfectly for me.
Use Mx Player with SW Decoding now u can play 720p Smoothly:laugh: aswell as 1080p with some glitches
Galaxy S3 and S2 has Multi-Core Hardware decoding Capability, so we can't port Stock S3/S2 player in Xperia Neo/V:silly:
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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5jbG92NHIuYW5kcm9pZC5uaWwiXQ..
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

I really want to use CM9 or AOKP type roms but I do a lot of video watching on my phone and for most formats H/W acceleration is not available in any media player I've tried, usually using MX Player, I think theres H/W for only one format but all others my video files are forced into software decoding which drains the battery very quickly.
On samsung roms all my video files play fine using H/W decoding, is there anyway I can fix this or is this a limitation of AOSP/CM9 type roms?

Thanks I'll give these a try, but I'm still wondering why it doesn't work on MX Player and if there is a way to make it work with it, the option is just greyed out on most formats, it does work for one forget which i think .mp4 files.

Mxplayer is very good, with its design and functionality but it's inbuilt codecs are not top notch. Presently, it's not even usable on jelly bean

Hello guys, I'm new so I can't post in the thread of the cyanogenmod rom. Not knowing what to do, I opened a new thread hoping you can help me. I installed the CyanogenMod 11 cm-11-20140907-NIGHTLY-i9300 (yesterday) in my galaxy s3 i9300 but I noticed a problem: avi videos don't work(xvid codec). In the stock version of my os (4.3 stock) I had no problems with any video (worked all videos, avi, mkv, ...) with any codec. I tried to install other players such as VLC or mxplayer but nothing. Avi movies do not start (the mkv instead work). It is a problem of CyanogenMod? You also have the same problem?
Thanks

in Mx player just before the movie starts press pause. and change HW decoder to SW decoder or vice versa and try.
Remember to install the mx player codes (armv7) and if it still doesnt work change the decoding method to software as that always works even though it's less efficient
