I like having my movies on my ad card cause when I'm sitting at people's houses and tell them "I've got _______ on bluray on my phone." And play it through the PS3, 360, or whatever. But the stock media player on the phone doesn't play all file formats. Any suggestions on what else I can use? Or and I S.O.L and better just keep being cool with playing it through other media outlets.....

i have tried almost every video player on the market and only one stands out of them.
i have alot of 1080p videos and hardware acceleration is very important to me as software mode is slow and eats up battery life when playback.
i tried mx video player, mobo player, etc... and they fail on some video files i have. they either has no (audio sound, no hw acceleration, etc...)
i have alot of onboard f1 videos directly stream sniped on f1.com and converting it to another format is not an option as they would introduce a/v sync issue
an example file would be this one http://www.mediafire.com/?zkpx798acmcdlb0
the only video player that works for hardware acceleration is Vplayer. though, i also keep a copy of mx video player as Vplayer lacks the seek swipe feature and it is sometimes slow on buffering.

Vplayer for hardware acceleration and screen lock (so my kid can't touch the screen and stop the vid).
MX player has a kidd plugin that makes shapes and noises when you touch the screen also locks it with out the plug in. its good for kids to watch movies and keep themselves entertained watching bunnies and stars appear wherever they touch while watching Toy Story https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.kidslock&hl=en

I currently have both vplayer alpha and moboplayer installed, moboplyer seem more stable never forceclosed but everytime i exit vplayer it FCs. Only problem I have with Moboplayer is that it does not save current play time on exit so you have to start agaon from the start.... otherwise its excellent.
I never installed vPlayer, as it was always crashy on my Evo. I have been pleasantly surprised by MoboPlayer on my Flyer though. Works very well, and the UI is actually pretty nice. It has saved my point in time on close though, So I haven't seen that problem.

Ummm. The gallery plays standard avi for me. As long as it doesn't use AC3 audio...
Rock player supports most of the files, so its quite reliable no crashes yet
Finally i'm using successfully vPlayer.
try to set it in high quality video mode and set the maximum buffer size.
It works perfect for me.
I don't know if the Flyer has an hardware to decode, so I choose software decoding mode, but it has no lags.
I hope to get in a future a way to set it directly to a specific folder and to get the view of the film's covers.
Did anyone find a way to put an Mkv full hd inside ?
I use QQPlayer for mkv never had a problem never FC (fingers crossed touch wood and all that).
I just wish their connectedMedia app would stream mkv files from my ReadyNAS, avi and the others are no problem.
Has anybody tried Act 1 Player with the Flyer yet? I bought it to use on my Evo last year and I liked it.

Dice player has HARDWARE based playback and supports FLV and MKV formats among others.
It's $5, but plays back some downloaded 1.5GB 720p MKV files I tried out flawlessly. Even subtitles. So now I have all of season one of a show I like ready for my next flight, without the bother of re-encoding it to suit the View's native player.

How do you get to your movies using the stock application? I've got my movies installed on the SD Card in a folder called movies. To watch them now I navigate to them with Astro and open them from there.
I think I should mention Vital Player if you want to play any kind of video format and take a screenshot from it. FYI, you cannot use magic pen to take screenshot from any kind of video player other than Vital Player.

I have found, at least with my media collection, that Diceplayer works better across all types of codec configurations.
I normally use BsPlayer, since it has built in samba client and therefore no need to use ex file explorer to start dice player. If BsPlayer does not cut it, then I switch to Diceplayer.
Mx video player does not currently decode all formats i hardware on the prime, so wait a little while with that.
I am finding the default video player after the ICS update to be quite capable. Haven't had to download any codecs, or anything.

Yes, I also have been impressed by the built in player but it has had problems with playing audio on many of my files.

I don't believe there are any of yet. I currently use Dice Player which has played 99% of my videos on HW. For the other 1%, MX Player seems to have the fastest SW decoder. I know Dice has a Tegra 2 plugin (tried it on my Prime to no avail). I wouldn't be surprised if we see Tegra 3 optimized decoding before long. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do, but since Tegra 3 is so new, there just haven't been any attempts yet.

I agree. The video playback is much better but do not have sound on many MKV 720p high profile. DICE Player is the best for me so far with BS Player second.

I find that the default ICS player is bugged out. Instead of a menu for play,pause and stuff it just shows colored squares (looks like my screen is melting form the inside out) and is obviously bugged out, it doesn't play half the stuff dice player does.
mx player has been treating me the best since I can select hardware or software for the video and the audio separately, allowing me to play 1080p videos and for those that the audio isn't working I can select software decoding of audio. Also MX player is so far the only player that has been handling multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks well.
@all
OK, sorry, I stand corrected. Just tried out an .mkv on the built-in player which gave no sound at all! Ugghh...
i no this is a bit random
does any one how i can open the default layer app without going through gallery, because am having problem finding my video files through the numerous files on the gallery, thanks

Can you upload a sample? I have different kind of mkvs and i have no problem.
There are a few encoding settings with make problems (like 10bit) but overall i didn't found many h.264 mkv videos which are not playing.
I'm looking for a video player that does the following:
Plays videos from a folder on the SD Card.
Shuffles the videos when they play.
Continously plays videos.
Remember where you are in the video when you exit the program and go back in.
Toddler Video player does this, but it's not full screen for my EVO 3D. And it's not being developed anyone. Toddler Video Player Lock (different app) doesn't shuffle, it plays videos in alphabetical order. Developer saids they will fix it, but it hasn't been yet.
Thanks!

I use my phone to watch movies from time to time and some of my series are in .mkv files. I use MplayerX to decompress and watch these files. I recently watched Django Unchained on my phone (in .mp4 format) and it was playing smoothly, however whenever I use .mkv files the picture seems to lag and sometimes the audio doesn't synchronize with the video. Is this because of the app or is it too much for the phone to handle?
Note: Each of these was in 720p.

My Epic 4G (first-gen Galaxy S) can play 720p mkvs fine. No way that's too much for your phone to handle. Try MX Player's H/W+ decoder.

mp4 and mkv are just containers. They tell us nothing about the actual codec of the video. But if HW decoding is not available, then the file might be 10 bit h264, which is too much for even some computers. You're not going to get perfectly smooth playback on a phone then.
Tried Dice?

Re: HTC one slow
Try using mxplayer but not with H/W decoder.
Use the S/W decoder. My mkv videos play seamlessly on my One.

Definitely bull****, don't listen to this, I have One X and it smoothly plays 720p, there's videos actually showing exactly that, on One X. So, it's some other issue. Try enabling hardware decoder or disabling - either or might be the key.

Use MXplayer with custom codec..optionally install elemental X kernel and even with a slight OC your HTC ONE will perform well at any app, multimedia file, etc. you throw at it.

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 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..
