I'm having issues with the stock video player (another topic) and am looking for something to replace it. I would like something that has a screen capture button like the stock one. Other than that the rest could just be as basic as the stock player. Paid app is OK too. Don't need anything with a million features.

yeah just tried that, mobo and some other one. Didnt like any of them because so many options. MX kept flashing and reloading when browsing the list of video. even stopped playing a video and threw me back to gallery.
I just want something simple like the stock player.
Have you tried Archos video player?
Im good now with the stock player. Light flow was screwing it up. Need something to replace light flow now

Been using VLC media player with good results. Together with BS player no video will give trouble. BS player also can get subtitles files if necessary.
Light flow does same thing on wife's note 3. Weird.

What is the best video player that works pretty good on the atrix and plays a good number of different formats
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Mobo Player
Second that, free, stable and feature rich
mVideoPlayer. Never failed me.
Hi there, I think I might try out these recommended video players. But before I do, I wondered if anyone could let me know why the videos I'm copying across to the phone (divx AVI episodes of TV shows downloaded via BitTorrent) don't stretch to the full size of the screen?
I have tried RockPlayer and yxplayer and what appears to be the standard 'video player'. yxplayer doesn't appear to do anything (or can't play divx AVI files), the other two play it in the centre of the screen with heaps of space around the sides.
When I play the same files on my TV through my PVR, they stretch to fit my TV screen dimensions and look really sharp. Was hoping the same would occur on the phone, so I would have something to watch on tomorrow's interstate flight.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also try qqplayer which can actually play a 1080p mkv file. though it will run very slow it still tries at least unlike most players!
Anyone know of any player that can fill the screen WITHOUT stretching the picture (in other words, it zooms in to fill the screen). I had that on windows mobile but have never found an Android player that does this.

Try taking a look at arcMedia.
Mobo Player.
I prefer mVideoplayer because it will display the folders that I have my videos in. I have over a 100 tv episodes for 7 to 8 different shows and not having them organized by folder drives me crazy.

Try using the soft-decoding for the file or possibly re-encoding it.

I just got my EVO 3D and have tried a plethora of players including VPlayer, QQPlayer, MoboPlayer, and Vital Player
So far only Vplayer has not had syncing issues and the subtitles appear at the correct time.
Subtitles are out of sync on everything else.
Also after 2 minutes or so VPlayer stops displaying subtitles all together though.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any tips?
My phone is not rooted by the way.
I'd be grateful for any assistance I receive.
Files are 720p by the way
Also I am unsure if I posted this in the right subforum.
Sorry if I did.
Anyone?
Anyone at all?
Just gonna keep this alive I guess.

Working a lot better than others so far.
Subs sync good, quality is good overall.
Only issue is subs can cut off if a sentence is a bit long.
I might switch to this if no other solution comes up.
Thanks for the tip
No problem. I discovered it a few weeks ago and it has been my goto player since.

Ok so DicePlayer now has an issue after watching something longer than 5 minutes.

+1 on mx video player, supports every format and handles software and hardware acceleration. Not.to mention native dual core optimization.
Mx player
MX player only suports Native supported formats(MKV,AVI,MP4) with HW video acceleration.
Others formats are supported by SW Mode.
Diceplayer supports HW video accel. on any formats with H.264/MPEG-4 codecs.
im choosing between dice and mobo

why dice? i tried it out per your comment and its pretty hardcore riddled with ads, i didnt see a paid version.
though its network capabilities were definitely noticeable.
im still geared towards mx as far as compatability and fluidity.

LoL. Don't we all hate ads... Get ad blocker if that helps or get paid version
Here is link -> Paid Version.
If you have movie files that are really big, MX Player cant handle it for some reason, be it local or over the network. It is so so so so laggy. And its pointless converting (main reason being size. 720p/1080p files are BIG) everything you download just so you can watch on your mobile when there is no computer near by. So i found two solutions to this, either use plex or dice. And YES MX Player is a solid player no doubt, but for the reasons above, i prefer dice.
Im feelin mobo thanks for the feedback from everybody..

just checked on your link. Seems like none of last 10 reviewers at least are any happy with it. 1 star only...
So I'm looking for a program that looks like Google Music and will list all the tracks I have on my phone in a list sortable either by band or album. Google Music has for the past couple days refused to play anything that's not streaming and even when streaming it sometimes tell me it can't play the selected stream. I can use root explorer and play the files on my phone individually but when selected in Google Music it says sorry can't play selected track. I think I'm gonna try winamp if this thread gets no replies. Thanks in advanced for your help guys!

I've actually been having the same problem with my google music as well. would you happen to be on a ROM? or just stock phone?
I tried out the free demo of poweramp and i actually liked it quite a bit. Winamp was also very good for me and it let me wirelessly sync to my laptop to boot!!

I have the issue using both aokp and shostock2. Haven't tried on a stock rom but I have little interest in going back to stock just for Google Music. I like face unlock too much. =P I don't want a music manager on my computer. Do you think I can plausibly use winamp and just ignore the sync component conpletely? I think I'll look into poweramp for now. Thanks for the suggestion. =]

I use Player Pro - and one warning about winamp - I could not get the phone app to stop looking for the desktop component that wasn't there - which meant it was draining the battery something nasty continually pinging the network.
This was a couple of months ago - they might have fixed it, but just be aware.
I had cloud skipper before flashin ics and it was cool but didn't ever think bout getting it again been using stock player and it's fine but I see alot of ppl sayin power amp might check it out

Mxplayer if you use freaky-deaky codecs that you could basically only play using VLC player on your PC.
Stock for everything else. Stock plays a lot of different containers and codecs, and it has S Pen integration which makes it that much sweeter.
I was using MX Player. I'm now trying BSPlayer. So far it's great. Plays all the videos stock doesn't and MX did. I like BS because of the popup player. I find that very useful.
thanks guys

How are these other players better than the stock
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
Stock for me, same for all five android phones I've owned.
Act 1 for me.
I like Dice-player best of all because it could handle some odd subtitles that nohting else could (at the time). Recently bsplayer now handles those subtitles and it has a nice interface but I've gotten quite use to dice and have no complaints. I used to like mx and mobo player but once I started using dice I dropped them - when I was recently re-testing the subtittle issue (and noticed bsdplayer update) I found mx (or was it mobo?) quite awkward (these things tend to be moving targets since all 4 of them are constantly updating). Anyways for now (as I have for the past year) will stick with dice as the primary and then use bsplayer as the fallback. I suppose if one day those two can't handle the video I'll recheck mx and mobo. Btw they are all quite small so there is little reason to not have all of them installed. Um - there was some issue with dice and google a while ago and the eventual outcome was the paid version was removed and the free version no longer has ads.
Anyways I think the gut of these players are all quite similar (ffmpeg) and it is just a question of interface and which one is updated most often (though it does appear that each does have some local mods; at least dice have). I have no clue why dice was the only one to support the specific subtitles I used for 9+ months but that with the clean user interface was a deciding factor for me.

For be I was studying for a registry exam and the 14 in depth videos I needed were unsupported on stock. They did play great on mx though. So basically they support a wider range of formats.
