For those people that bought the plugins for archos 70, is there a noticeable difference compared to using vplayer.
I'm considering if it's worth to buy the plugin
Don't have an answer to question above but vplayer is a great alternative to stock media player.

@izrephyl:
You might be alittlebit missinformed.
The payable plugins are only there to get MPEG2 and AC3 working natively.
Everything else is working with the stock videoplayer.
And vplayer/rockplayer and every other SW player is playing OK as long as it is no HD material.
HD is only really playable by the native apps.

I've tried every darn free player app in the market and had no great results. Either there is lag when watching videos, or there is bad pixelation/divxing. Or it won't play the files.
What do you guys use on you flyers to play HD video content? Something suitable for .mkvs and .movs...
I use DicePlayer on my Flyer and Desire HD, and 720p mkv's play flawlesly. Well worth those 3€ for the application!

Thanks. I've tried the trial version. Mkvs play well. .movs and .wmvs dont play well. It uses software acceleration for movs so its a bit choppy, though the sound works. .wmvs video is off by a second.
Hello,
I know there seems to be some sort of issue with Tegra 2 chipsets not decoding video properly but I read that with the right codec and video players you can play 720p high profile MKVs/MP4s, how can I do that?
Also, does it matter what ROM I'm on? Like CM7 vs Stock MotoBlur? I'm on CM7 and I tried a few video apps and most face some sort of problem with 720p videos stuttering and whatnot.
Thanks.
Hmmm

That's one of the most important issue of the Atrix.
I can't play most of my HD anime videos fluently on my Atrix because the hardware doesn't support high quality HD mkv videos.
But I've heard the Samsung S2 does.... -.-
And that makes me angry!
Anyway if you not afraid of trying HD videos on your Atrix, you should try 'MX video player' and 'V player' (both need separate codecs).
Both are great but 'V player' is the only player which can show subtitles from mkv videos which I stream with my w-lan router from my external hard drive.

If you haven't yet, try MX Video player. It uses some software trickery and plays most if not all of my hd videos beside being the best video player in many aspects. I tested on the phone only so don't know what the output to an external monitor would be.
Don't forget to install the right codec and always toggle 'software fast mode' on the screen if videos get stuck. It also gives you the ability to zoom into the picture.
Regards
Edit: Blizzard22 - I much prefer MX to VPlayer. Especially as the former seems more optimized for tegra...
Not sure if it has problems with subtitles in certain containers... until now subtitles worked for me and their rendering is very pleasing.

I have both player and I personally prefer MX video player but the subtitles are missing if you stream your videos with mx.
V player can show the subtitles and that's why I prefer V player.
But for normal use I definitely prefer mx before visiting player.

I think this is a problem of the Tegra, High Profile videos not work with HW decoding, I have tryed MX player, but, all the times it loses sync or drop frames.
the temp solution for me is recode videos to Baseline profile in 720p
VLC is coming for android, maybe that will be the golden egg.

if they use HW decoding, but will be stuck on Baseline Profile again
The two players I have the most luck with are Dice and Mobo. Try them out.
Hi all,
I use ps3mediaserver as upnp/dlna server in my computer. Before the Nexus 10, I had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which browsed and played the video files nicely with Samsung AllShare app.
Now, with the Nexus 10 I have been experimenting with several combinations of upnp clients and video players. The only player that I have found to work smoothly with the streamed files is Dice Player. I have tried other players (MX Player also) with a lot of problems: video doesn't play, no sound, long pauses...
Also, the best client for me is MediaHouse with a simple and clean interface, just browse and select to play.
Thanks
jordicm,
I have also experimented with various players and between Dice and MXPlayer, Dice is the winner for streamed content. I use MXPlayer Pro video playback for SAMBA shares as I like the MXPlayer UI better than Dice's.
Personally I was surprised that a free app like Dice was superior to MXPlayer Pro in this one feature of video playback that MXPlayer obviously supports. I would prefer to use only one video play.
It seems on Android, in the categories of Video players, Web browsers and media aggrigators you need a mixture of apps to get all that one wants (speed, reliability, features, quality of UI).
Mediahouse and Diceplayer. No better combination in my opinion.
Mediahouse and bsplayer here!

Incidently, if anyone needs the module to allow Diceplayer to decode DTS audio you can grab it here:

Winning feature for use with upnp :victory:
Nice, where do you put the file?

From a Diceplayer developer:

So apparently there's been a big stink about DTS support and it's a hassle coupled with a headache to get working. Anyone know a quick guarantied way to get video files with DTS audio working?
Dice Player is the only one that I have found to really support DTS Audio files. It also has nice features like a video pop out window similar to the stock video player.
EDIT:
Looks like Archos Player does it as well.

If you grab the free codec pack it plays everything I throw at it including DTS, AC3, etc.

As an added bonus, the Archos Player pulls in meta data for movies and tv shows on your device. Pretty slick, just purchased the "Pro" version after playing with it for just a few minutes, and it looks to become my new default video player.
After playing various media files of multiple different codecs via my networked media server... I now say forget about Dice Player, and go with Archos. Can't do cool stuff like pop out video, but it plays EVERYTHING (if the codec pack is installed)!
i bought to archos pro the day it came out. i loved the player on my 101it and couldn't wait for a version to come out for other tablets. that free codec is just icing on the cake.
it's like combining mizzu and the old bs player into one. there haven't been many movies that it can't play. i've even put it on my daughter's memopad hd7. none of the other players can handle the files as well as the free archos (she didn't get the pro version).
Thanks guys. Archos did indeed work out very well. The video is a little big grainier than it is on MX Player but having sound is a very nice trade off imo
Is there any other reason to buy the pro version besides it being ad-free?
i haven't noticed problems with the free version, but i haven't used my daughter's tablet a lot and she hasn't complained about any problems.
Never heard of this program before but I like the layout of it and it works well w/ the things I am trying to stream

MX player can play dts audio i believe. You have movies downloaded that play without sound right? Go into mx players settings and under decoder set everything to hw+ After that It should start playing them no problem. If that doesn't work here is a quick quide on how to install DTS codec into MX player

Will need a custom decoder which can be downloaded from the play store. For mx player it is the arm v neon... but like the poster above me mentioned, mx player will play anything you can throw at it.

I had the same problem. After trying several apps, i found the solution with vlc.
VLC for Android Beta. (As a new user I can't post links outside... :laugh: , so you have to look for in in the Playstore)
Currently it's even my favorite video player. Good luck. :good:
I've tried MX and vlc. Are there better ones or are these the best options?
MX Pro is what I use.
It's pretty much perfect IMO.
I use BS Player for mkv. It plays pretty much everything I throw at it
I've been using MX player for the longest time now.
Mobo player is the best I've seen.

I've been using archos video player. Plays pretty much everything and supports DTS-MA and True HD if your mkv's are encoded as such. Great UI and can pickup my network shares from xbmc.
I've used MX Pro for several years now on several Android devices. It plays everything in my huge digital film/personal video collection without any hiccups or crashes. Subtitles? No problem.
