Alright so i am downloading youtube videos thru an app in my Streak. And the format is either in .flv or .mp4. I tried a few video players like Rock Player etc. Some couldnt even play them. Rock Player was able to play it with huge lags and only in software encoding mode. Hardware encoding wont let me play the video.
So any advice guys? Which video players do you use?
VitalPlayer
Tried VitalPlayer. It plays the videos for 1 secs and then go back to the main vitalplayer screen. Maybe the stock sdcard isnt fast enough...
VitalPlayer is the best I've seen so far...
What app are you using to download the videos? It could be doing a really bad encode. I would imagine that the youtube player should be able to play those videos if nothing else. Have you tried going into the file manager then playing them with the youtube player?
I like rockplayer.

Used Rockplayer but have now gone onto Vitalplayer it seems to play a bit smoother
with vplayer in 1.5.2 i was able to see all videos also from fb, on the 1.6.0 the vplayer crash on starting the app.
i tried vitaplayer and rockplayer, they works but cant see all the videos from fb, only some and only with rockplayer.....
Very disappointed with RockPlayer - same videos that play super smooth on VitalPlayer, lag as hell on Rockplayer.
For me - Vital Player wins for now
I`m on 318 stock.
Mp4 films go straight into the gallery and the stock player is perfect, every single other player ive used goes out of sync or glitchy, i recommend a korean app, search the market for avi, and its a blue film reel, you cant understand the settings(unless you know.korean) but its perfect for divx, avi, flv, mkv, everything ive come across

I've been happy with QQPlayer.
And I with Act 1 Video Player ! The most full-featured player for video media on your sdcard! Lots of unique features.
I've been using Rockplayer and that lagged with a few videos. Just tried Vitalplayer and it plays the same videos without any perceivable lag.
Is there any video player with HDMI support for Streak except the stock Gallery player which plays limited formats?
I felt "arcMedia" is a pretty good player!!
i like qqplayer,doubletwist,and mvideo player
use astro file to move videos around if need to

I use tubemate, save, then playback on mVideoPlayer while at the gym.
I also watch my regular movies on my Streak.
I use mVideoPlayer. It is my favorite. It allows playback in either landscape or portrait. It's perfect for playing music mix videos in the car.
The swipe is very intuitive. No need or further looking IMO.
I have tried many (ArcMedia, Rock Player, Movies, ESplayer) and I can tell you that VitalPlayer is the ONLY one that will play .wmv files on my Dell Streak running Froyo !!
Awesome player
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.
Experts,
I am using the Alcatel OT-918d (stock rom, root access enabled) and while playing videos in the browser, I do not get an action prompt to choose from the available video players and browser plays the video using "default video player".
The so called "default video player" has been uninstalled though. Have cleared cache, clear defaults, clear data for the browser but still do not get a prompt to choose a video player while playing videos from the browser.
Also installed the "Default App Manager" to check for the default video player. However, it indicates no defaults to play any videos (either from file or streaming videos).
(If I play a stored video from phone or SD card, I do get the prompt to choose a video player. But do not get a prompt if playing any video in the browser.)
Pleas help me to solve this.
Any suggestions to solve this problem...?
That must be the flash content playing. The browser itself plays flash content if enabled.

Thank you so much for your reply. It was the flash player indeed... This is what I tried:
Dolphin browser > Disable the Flash Player > Make 'Desktop' as the User Agent and then access m.youtube.com and now any video will be played using the video player that I have installed... (but the video quality was pathetic even for HD videos probably coz of wrong combination of user agent and the URL used..?)
Next did the following - Dolphin browser > Disable the Flash Player > Make 'Android' as the User Agent and then access m.youtube.com and now any video that is played is using the default media player of the android (or I would say "flash player" of the browser...But the quality of the same video is quite good and played in HD too...Just failing to understand even though the Flash Player is disabled, the video was still played...?).
Any suggestions as to how we can play those "flash based" HD quality videos of m.youtube.com (and other sites) in custom media player like doubleTwist or something else..?
I believe u cant play YouTube videos on custom player. And y not try YouTube official app?

Thank you so much for your confirmation. Yes, the YouTube official app is fantastic and works very good. I was trying to play the online videos (even if they are flash based) with a custom media player like doubleTwist so that the functionality of AirSync offered by doubleTwist can be utilized efficiently.
I watch a lot of anime from Nwanime or TV series from Couchtuner
When I open these video webpages on Android I have to nagivate like on a desktop browser (tiny play button and maximise button and seek bar)
On the iphone the video would open in the default video player.
How can I enable my Android device to open these videos with a default video player like mxplayer for example?
*note. Mxplayer is already my dafault player, so if I open an actual video file it plays in mxplayer. My problem is with web video
Thanks

Folks,
Am running 4.4.2 with beanstalk ROM. Question is, when watching videos from reddit links, some of the videos will open directly into the YouTube player, then some will open into the embedded chrome tab, where you have to click on play, then it opens the YouTube player and the video starts.
Is there a way of defaulting it to open just with the player, or is it the link that decides which way it opens?
Have tried clearing the defaults on the chrome and the YouTube player but it didn't seem to make any difference
Many thanks
Paul
