Greetings all. Is anyone aware of a video player app that is provisioned to dim the system bar icons during play like the stock player? The stock player is pretty limited in the files it supports. None of the usual suspects (MoboPlayer, VPlayer, VitalPlayer, Meridian, etc) seem to have this yet. Watching a movie while having to be reminded of the time and other notifications is kind of a drag.
Does anyone know of a market app that has this feature enabled or are we just going to have to wait for the devs to update?
yes plz I will pay for a player that does this
There are already a couple of threads requesting exactly this. Just do a search. The condenses at the moment is to email the developer (moboplayer) requesting this feature. Obviously if enough people ask for it, they will implement it sooner
MX player

Try MX player. After installing go to settings and there web site and download the beta. Great player and plays nearly all codecs
Only diceplayer able to dim. U have to buy it...
Dice player is the answer... It has true HW decoding as well.
dice player = the best. Worth every penny
ok folks, I'm still a big android noob, so forgive if this is not proper android terminology, but is there a way to install more codecs for the video player?
or do I just need a seperate video player app?
some vids are playing without sound (and actually won't play at all from the dlna app, but plays w/o sound from the gallery>dlna)
and another one plays, but "seek is not supported"

Built in codecs are limited by the Tegra2 (Specs: http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-2.html) However, you can install a different video player with software codecs that work pretty well with almost every format until you get to resolutions of around 720p, then you get skipping.
Download MoboPlayer. It'll automatically install the needed files for your phone. Real solid.

nice player, better than stock, but still some videos no video but audio, other ones no audio but video...
Check out rockplayer. There's a free version in the market
I have been using mxvideo player with arm7(something) codec. If u install mxvideo player and open it will auto detect the codec u need. Has been working very nice for me I also used QQplayer which was alright.
well, mobo player seems like the nicest interface, but rock player is the only one that consistently works
thanks for the recommendations guys
Hi!
i'm looking for a good video player for our tattoo, that can play video files smooth.
i've tried MOBO player and BS Player, but the video was not synced with sound.
can you help me?
cumpz!
Hi.
You can try MX Player.
Hello.
How about Act 1 video player. Or Meridian player. Although I use those on my chinese tablet, not on my Click, they are great video players.
Or you can try Seaman player, it's UI is ugly, but it's good player.
Pop Player (Speed-Control Video Player)
I highly recommend the free Pop Player app. I recently made a couple of reviews on it on YouTube.
This new video player allows the user to utilize speed-control. The slow-motion
and speeded-motion are extremely smooth too and audio syncs perfectly with
the video at any speed. :laugh: It can definitely be useful for athletes and students.
Some people I know even use it to replay their golf swings in slow-motion
in order to improve their form.
This player plays MP4 files that contain H264 and AC codecs.
Check out my review of this app on youtube by searching "Pop Player Free Android App".
I suggest mx player
It has a good forward option, yet the best thing is the subtitle menu if you are watching a movie.
Guys, I am desperate.
I badly need a good video player with playlist support and shuffle
I have one of those cheap Chinese ICS tablets (btw working pretty good) and I planned to use it in my car to let my 17 month old daughter watch some videos I got from YouTube while driving home from our vacation. That is a 7 hours drive and she won't handle it without some entertainment. However I cannot find a suitable app, paid or free
I got so far
- Act Player.. does the job but only on Gingerbread (I have a GB Galaxy S phone). On ICS the playlist feature does not work
- Vplayer - does not support shuffle and after 4th or 5th video starts to stutter
- Mobo player - does the job but does not support shuffle and the little monster is getting tired of the first 10 vids she has to watch all over again every day
Any clue will be greatly appreciated. The vids are mp4 SD so the tablet doesn't have any problems playing those,
Thanks

Use mxpLayer, it's the best video player out there with lots of codecs support or u can also use vlc player

VLC doesn't do the job, it doesn't have a playlist sypport, but MX Player does. I had it for years and suddenly 30 minutes after I posted that thread my daughter discovered that long press on next button will bring a context menu with shuffle and loop option.
Well. problem solved
Niki
Thanks a lot nikiiv, I've also search for a player with this function for very long time.
MX Player shuffle works very well. Who would expect to find it there.
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 the best for me

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..
