Greetings all. Is anyone aware of a video player app that is provisioned to dim the system bar icons during play like the stock player? The stock player is pretty limited in the files it supports. None of the usual suspects (MoboPlayer, VPlayer, VitalPlayer, Meridian, etc) seem to have this yet. Watching a movie while having to be reminded of the time and other notifications is kind of a drag.
Does anyone know of a market app that has this feature enabled or are we just going to have to wait for the devs to update?
yes plz I will pay for a player that does this
There are already a couple of threads requesting exactly this. Just do a search. The condenses at the moment is to email the developer (moboplayer) requesting this feature. Obviously if enough people ask for it, they will implement it sooner
MX player

Try MX player. After installing go to settings and there web site and download the beta. Great player and plays nearly all codecs
Only diceplayer able to dim. U have to buy it...
Dice player is the answer... It has true HW decoding as well.
dice player = the best. Worth every penny
im having problems locating any video player that will play a movie i have on my tablet, its mp4, the thing is im running starburst uekmb rom and i know i was able to pkay this movie with the stock rom... I dont want to go back to stock just to play a simple video... But any and all video players in the market just refuse to play it just like the galery and built in video player, others are out of sync with the sound, and the ones that arent out of sync play te video in spurts, so the screen looks like its glitching out.
So is there a way to fix this, a video player that will work with my device or some sort of codec thing like in windows to make the built in player play almost anything?
Get diceplayer from the market.

i prefer moboplayer, but it still can't play all the videos, i use a video tool introduced by Foxreal to deal with videos that can't be supported, the result is just what i expect
Well, Recently I got this app from MiKandi (Porn Market), Dnt judge me ....
I opened the app, there were lots of videos, So I selected a video and I got 2 Options. "Download" and "Watch".
I selected the "Watch" option, and the video was streaming in MX Video Player (My Default Video Player). I Luv this App.
And you guys know that P500 has No Flash Support, So u can't watch the video from the browser or it doesn't give you the advantage to Stream in any video player.
Is there any other non-porn app or Browser where I can stream videos with the video player. I hear this feature is available in Stock Browser of ICS.
Help me out.
Three options,
1. Go back to gb or cm7 for flash
2. Get a new phone, flash works on arm7 ics phones.
3. Get a gf or bf.
1 is the cheapest way, 2 and 3 will drain your wallet pretty fast.
skyfire .........
Go to mx player->settings->general-> untick the first option for play video links.
Better use skyfire on non ics roms or adobe flash player for armv6 ,
Google is your friend
Can anyone recommend the best Android video playback app? There are literally dozens on the play store. I find that the stock video player with the G Pad plays AVI and MP4 just fine but cannot handle MKV files. Would definitely require an app that uses hardware acceleration as well.
Thanks
I downloaded MX Player and seemed to do well.
MX Player is obviously the best player..
yeah mx player. One additional reason is that it supports so many different subtitles formats
Another benefit of mx player is follows:
If you pin a movie from Google play and it uses a lot of space, you can then use a file manager and go-to the folder and move the movie too your sd card. Out will have a funny name with a gem extension, but mx player can then be configured to look for that extension and still play it, saving valuable space on our internalso storage.

I use MX Player too. Does everything I want. Plenty of settings to display the elapsed/remaining time, etc. I haven't found any format that doesn't work with it.
Last week, i wanted to open some old videos from my old camera. It was formated as quick time, default player nothing, with mx, all videos played just fine.
One more vote for MX player. I use VLC at home, and have dabbled with Mobi, QQ and others on Android, but MX is the most solid overall player around. I watch a lot of stuff with subtitles and this rocks for it. If only the native player were nearly as good!

mx is pretty good and I paired it with Mizuu to organized my movies. Archos is also a good up and coming player.
I wanted to say that MX player is the best one. But I don't think that will be necessary.

MX Player
My vote is for MX player. I have the premium version and it works great on my phone, Gpad, and my son's Nexus 7.
MX is good. I also like Diceplayer lots.
+1 for MX player
MX player is really good to use. Very easy to use gestures for increasing volume, brightness, forward/rewind among other things.
+1 for MX Player.
I'm also experimenting with the MediaMonkey Beta, which plays OKand handles libraries as well too.
Well MX player is no doubt the best player, some other options could be moboplayer, vp player, rock player. Check with all and choose the one that will be more compatible with your device.
Just popping back to this thread to report that I've been playing with the stock video player on this thing and it's actually not bad at all. It supports added subtitle files (haven't tried embedded ones just yet) and the brightness and volume controls are basically the same as MX Player. The scan function is also pretty cool, showing a little preview of the point you're scrolling to before you tap on it to go to that point. Works with all formats I've tried so far, and I've also started to appreciate having the player going in the background (and transparent) while I'm twittering away about stuff.
Anyone else play with and like the stock player? Any shortcomings you can think of?

I was an MX fan (and still am) but Dice player has a nice variable playback speed function. It makes watching some programmes a bit easier, and certainly quicker!
Both seem to farm out the decoding to hardware and that saves battery.
Diceplayer for the samba-ftp no frills browser. I have been streaming from my ubuntu file server without a problem.

I agree, the LG video player - and its Streaming Player facility - is an excellent piece of software; probably the most capable video player to come bundled with a tablet.
That said, MX player handles streamed video better, with virtually no buffering. The LG player tends to buffer quite a bit - and I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere to increase its cache..
I want to replace the default video player that comes with AICP with MX Player to play everything but not just that, I know I can just select "Always" when it asks me what I what to play a file with.
I'm asking this because I was trying to make a GIF from a video but all apps play the video(s) very laggy. This does not happen with MIUI since the default MIUI video player was able to play those videos.
So, does anyone knows how to replace the stock video player with MX Player? So all apps use MX Player and not the stock one to play the videos by default.
I've already tried freezing/disabling the gallery app but no effect.
Thanks in advance.
