.caf == Core Audio Format, is an Apple defined media container that can hold a variety of audio and/or video encoded content.
Try MX Player, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
or Mobo Video Player Pro, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobo.video.player.pro&hl=en
Thanks MX player did the trick. Its annoying though i have many "good" music players such as poweramp and all could not play the .caf file which is very dissapointing.

I agree. I really don't know why Apple thought we needed yet another container format when there are already so many out there, unless it was to try to play the vendor lock-in game
iPhone doesn't support playing CAF files.
To play CAF on iPhone, I use a software named Faasoft Audio Converter to convert CAF to MP3, AAC, AC3, etc.

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
Any video players with tegra 3 support?

BIG EARS!!
Bsplayer in hw(Bsplayer engine), mode works great.

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
Use the videos app and select the option for personal videos on the top left tab

No players are perfect, I keep four players and usually one of them will work.
I thought there wouldn't be a problem playing any video with this device. Disappointed it's such a pain in the ass.

Same thong here. These are like browsers. You have to keep an arsenal of them just in case one isn't cutting it. I have MX player, dice player, n mobo player

Everything is playing, but not everything is playing well. I still get some lag and audio problems with 1080p mkvs.

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 on GN - 4.0.2. I've got audio books in .aac files.
I know aac is an accepted format on 4.0+, but I can't find a player that will play them. They require .m4a.
So two questions:
1. is there a audiobook player for .aac files?
2. is there a better site/forum for audio book issues? mobileread seems only to deal with ebooks.

Have you tried Audiobook Player 2 (by Fredrik Maelstrom) in the market? I just tried it now and it seems to play my .m4a files just fine.

Yes, it plays m4a - but I'm looking for a ".aac" player.
I couldn't get it to play aac files. Can you?
Very interested in this phone for my next upgrade. However, using it as a music player will be important to me and most of my music is encoded in AAC format. The official Sony site doesn't list this as being supported by the Xperia S, whereas GSMArena claims that it is.
Does the Xperia S play AAC music files without a problem?
Even if it's not supported by the stock player, you can always use any ffmpeg powered one.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
I thought as much - thanks for the confirmation. I'd still be curious to know if the stock player does it, though.
I have some AAC music in the m4a format in my phone and the stock music player is compatible with them. It plays and shows the tags/album art without problems.

Hello to everybody! I have an Xperia U and I try to reproduce podcast in m4a format with chapters ( Release yourself by roger sanchez) but all the app I've tried played only audio part, without chapters support.
Anyone can give me a suggestion?
thanks in advice

Deadbeef I think. Try the free version before buying.
Thank you I've just tried but it work only in audio reproduction
After so many apps finally I found one that reproduce mp4 with chapter: RockPlayer Lite.
The only disadvantage is that it cannot work in background!
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
