Hello.
Who does have any experience with video playback?
I always record TV-Shows and watch them here and there.
Did try yesterday with the X10 mini pro and the video was not smooth at all.
I tried several players. Either the voice was normal speed and video was going way slower or video was hanging/jumping every few seconds to catch up with voice.
It's not HD. I did attach the file information.
I'm running on slades froyo rom (v5).
Thanks.

Sometimes I end up watching a video or two as well, the best player for this that I found was vPlayer, a special version for low end devices, it has an option for maximum speed, which allows me to play tv show rips or movies with no problem.
I can't find free version of vPlayer in the market... Only the unlocker, which requires the free version... weird.
Wait and will see if somebody else has some suggestions too.
Thank you.

Have you ever tried alternative video players, such as QQ Player?

Ok for last couple of days i've been trying to play movies on my x10. I've tried many players from the market and so far the results are:
Stock Player: Couldn't start/play any of the file.
Arc Media: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
Soul Movie: This video cannot be played! Please contact to the phone maker!
mVideoPlay: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
QQPlayer: Starts but wouldn't play anything (Force close when trying to go back)
MX Video Player: Starts well, loads subtitles and goes on for 5-10 mins with a little lag (which is fine for me) then starts to lag like hell and then video goes out of sync.
The video I'm trying to play is a BRrip, resolution is 1280x528 and is in mp4 format. (HD music video's I've downloaded from youtube seems to work fine with any player which is in same resolution) Some other movies in .avi format and lower resolution would play in some of that player but lags like hell.
NOTE: I've tried to set different settings of different player such as hardcoding and softcoding but they didn't work.
Any suggestion guys??
So only that BRrip doesn't play? You say youtube vids are ok...
Try Vplayer Pro, it works smoothly in my phone, so far i havent meet lags when playing any vids.

Ough..BRip in MP4..you mean in MP4 extention, isn't it..
Try to convert it to 720p resolution and change the Video Codec to Mpeg4 H264..
Can't play coz the resolution is not support by the player/phone..I guess..

No need of any conversion buddy, install mobo player from Market. Its free app. It actually plays anything u throw at it. Using it for over five months now. Plays even youtube .flv HD files flawlessly (Make sure the resolution is 720 or less). All the best...
Convert it to the same res as the x10, rather than letting the x10 do it on the fly. Your bound to get better results.
Try Mobo player. Plays any format and supports subtitles in .srt format. It would be nice to have option to change audio tracks in dual-audio files but at least works flawlessly.

Ok guys I tried mobo player it works, I mean it plays the file but it lags and gradually goes out of sync. This time the file was even in lower resolution. But convert seems to work fine. Now im gonna try different movies in different resolution and check which works and which not. Then I'll let u guys know. But in the mean time can u guys suggest me some good converter for x10? And the settings for those converter. I use Avs converter but its slow as hell.
Oh and guys I'm on cm7, just so u know.

MP4 is a simple format and can be easily played on our x10 on 720p(1280x576,1280x720)
MKV is used in Blu-rays now a days...
It can have many audios like a movie in 2 languages...
I play it in my x10 dual audio 720p...
The main thing is use doomkernel and overclock to 1228Mhz in interactive mode use MX video player.
Sorry if it sounds noobish but how do I use doomkernel and overclock in enteractive MODE?

I've found doomkernel to flash but can u link me to overclock?

I'll never understand why people want to watch 720p on a non-hd device. It's only eating up your resources.
Whether or not you can play videos depends on bitrate mostly but there are other reasons vids won't play. Just because 1 720p movie works doesn't mean they all will.

I have downloaded and tried lots of video players from the Android Market, namely Vplayer, mVideoPlayer, Rockplayer Lite, RealPlayer, Meridian and MX Video Player. They are all similar and lack one function which I have to have, and that is being able to play at a higher speed, around 1.3x to 1.7x like desktop VLC player.
Do you you know any video player currently on Android that has this function? I can not stand movies at normal pace because I find them too slow for my taste.
Thanks.

still searching a for a video player that can play at a faster speed...
Free player that can speed up and slow video
Look for "Astro Player Nova" in the Android store. It is the only free app that I'm aware of that lets you speed up or slow down video

I downloaded this app, it does not let you change speed of the video.
Anyone know any app that can do this? Thanks.

Wow! Wasting your time! Huh.I just tried to help you.With,my experience Vplayer is the best for me.It does what I expecting from a video player.So I recommended you that.Also,keep your valuable time instead of posting on a forum.

your experience is not what the OP is asking. So it is irrelevant. Vplayer does not play video at a higher speed. So no matter how good you think it is. It is useless for the purpose which the OP is asking.

Try Dice Player
Thank you. DicePlayer indeed have speed control. It will now replace MXplayer for me.
Is DicePlayer currently the only player on the market that have this function?
DicePlayer didnt work for me. Everytime I open it (by opening both a video or the app from launcher) there is a popup message "sorry, this video cannot be played" and the app closes.
I really need this feature, so I went on digging.
I found out that BS player is capable of doing this too.
Hope this helps people, who have problem with dicePlayer...
I just tried BSplayer, both BSplay and Dice have maximum playspeed of 2 times. But IMO dice is better.
hi

What type of 720P video is it? Perhaps it's your SD card not reading fast enough. The Quallcomm SOC is capable of playing back 1080P videos with no issues, so I'm not sure why 720P video is choppy.
Are you playing back in Software or hardware mode? Have you tried moboplayer on it?
well
i was playing from the devices memory, not an external SD. so its not that.
i dont know what software/hardware modes are
but i tried V player and it works ok for now. thanks
720 and 1080 both record and play back beautifully for me.

Use your PC to Rip em and convert them to mp4, then copy the mp4's to your Jetstream. It's not the most straight forward thing so you may have to google whenever you get stuck.
This ought to get you started though... http://lifehacker.com/230349/rip-dvds-with-vlc

DL the MX Movie player app and then use SW decoding.
EDIT - recently installed vlc and when I select a movie it gives the option of playing with the native gallery movie player even though they don't show up when you open the gallery. Great picture and allowed for SRS AND 5.1 sound.
Mobo player does the job for me
It seems like there is a lot more buffering going on with the YouTube app after the update. Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Also does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions for me? I did do a soft reset and also cleared the YouTube app data. Thanks
I have seen the same thing. Some people have tried Tubemate with success. Personally it really hasnt helped much for me.
I too would like to have some more info.
There is a thread in the Apps/Theme section about youtube lag and using Tube mate, maybe it will help ya.
If you dont mind report back and let us know if you find a solution.
I have an even better suggestion. forget the stock you tube app. it had buffering issues for people even before the update. its an android issue across several devices. get the app tubemate. its I'm the marketplace and its free. that will solve all your YouTube buffering issues. this app plus alot better than stock YouTube app. its not as pretty but plays the videos alot better. basically no buffering all. plus you can save any video you want and also save the video as a mp3 play in your Google music player as audio file.
Can tube mate play videos in HD or does it default to HQ?
^^ Yes you can play HD, where applicable it lets you pick your resolution.
But like I said earlier I still had issues with Tubemate while watching HD videos. It will even tell you this when you pick the highest resolution, and tells you that you maybe better off downloading the video with TubeMate.
Maybe it will work better for you guys.
Hmm, never heard of tubemate, going to try that out
I have found out no matter what rom i flash and with front viewing sensors off the video stock player continues to be choppy/skippy during video streaming play. Is this phone missing some kind of software codec? for being a new phone why is this an issue. I've downloaded Dice player which sometimes 85% of the time works while MX player usually works 90% percent of the time but both players do show some struggle at times. So anyone had this issue and figured it out ?or am i the only one with this issue? i do want to mention youtube play back works perfect with no hesitation its just when running streaming on video stock player. I'm running on firmware MJ4.
What sites for example?
With the information you've provided, I'd guess that it's a network speed issue. MX player works great but it needs data to play a video. The difference between the players might be the default cache size before playback resumes. I used to swear with dice but mx plays more codecs. Just my observations... I've paid for both programs but found more success with mx, especially with the variations of codecs under the avi file name extension. I have yet, to the best of my memory, found a codec that mx couldn't play. Dice, unfortunately being my first choice, had ran across quite a few video codecs it refused to play when mx played it with no problems. Having the arm 7 neo plugin helps too with mx and the n3.
Thanks for your observation and input I am using both players at the moment any ideas why stock player is not effective in playing? for in stance it's always choppy and skippy while while other phones play streaming fine on the same wifi connection

Forgive me i'm actually the one out of line but its funny how the note 2 didnt have this problem when it came to video streaming i had it was maybe a configuration setting but i've looked at all the settings on the note3 with no solution to this so i wondering other were having the same problem and why Sprint has not addressed this issue with its stock player. So much money on this expensive phone and having an issue to something simple as the video player com'mon makes me wonder what other faults maybe present with this phone.
