Looking for a Video Player - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a video player that does the following:
Plays videos from a folder on the SD Card.
Shuffles the videos when they play.
Continously plays videos.
Remember where you are in the video when you exit the program and go back in.
Toddler Video player does this, but it's not full screen for my EVO 3D. And it's not being developed anyone. Toddler Video Player Lock (different app) doesn't shuffle, it plays videos in alphabetical order. Developer saids they will fix it, but it hasn't been yet.
Thanks!

Did you try MX Video Player? It's available on the Play Store.

Unless I'm missing it, it doesn't shuffle.

My favorite one is Mx Video player, too. But I am not sure about shuffle...

Best Video Player for the Streak

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.

Vitaplayer is great

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

Video Player App

I currently have both vplayer alpha and moboplayer installed, moboplyer seem more stable never forceclosed but everytime i exit vplayer it FCs. Only problem I have with Moboplayer is that it does not save current play time on exit so you have to start agaon from the start.... otherwise its excellent.
I never installed vPlayer, as it was always crashy on my Evo. I have been pleasantly surprised by MoboPlayer on my Flyer though. Works very well, and the UI is actually pretty nice. It has saved my point in time on close though, So I haven't seen that problem.
i prefer rock player lite

Here here... I sent a nasty e-mail to HTC, about their video player not supporting a basic avi format, and they said "use rock player lite" I thought it was sad, honestly, but their suggestion was true...

Ummm. The gallery plays standard avi for me. As long as it doesn't use AC3 audio...
Rock player supports most of the files, so its quite reliable no crashes yet
Finally i'm using successfully vPlayer.
try to set it in high quality video mode and set the maximum buffer size.
It works perfect for me.
I don't know if the Flyer has an hardware to decode, so I choose software decoding mode, but it has no lags.
I hope to get in a future a way to set it directly to a specific folder and to get the view of the film's covers.
Did anyone find a way to put an Mkv full hd inside ?
I use QQPlayer for mkv never had a problem never FC (fingers crossed touch wood and all that).
I just wish their connectedMedia app would stream mkv files from my ReadyNAS, avi and the others are no problem.
Has anybody tried Act 1 Player with the Flyer yet? I bought it to use on my Evo last year and I liked it.
i use vital player,plays avi very well
Please someone recommend me a video player which has d function to lock d screen while playing a video; just like
The default player in Samsung galaxy s. Thank u.

MX player works very well and its free. The I has replaced moboplayer and vplayer for me. Moboplayer had issues sizing optimized videos on my nook color but I have to issues with MX player.
Real Player doesnt work with avi files.

I seem to remember a player called something like arcmedia or something to that effect worked for avi. I personally use soul movie. Works very well, and is a very minimal app.

Dice player has HARDWARE based playback and supports FLV and MKV formats among others.
It's $5, but plays back some downloaded 1.5GB 720p MKV files I tried out flawlessly. Even subtitles. So now I have all of season one of a show I like ready for my next flight, without the bother of re-encoding it to suit the View's native player.

How do you get to your movies using the stock application? I've got my movies installed on the SD Card in a folder called movies. To watch them now I navigate to them with Astro and open them from there.
I think I should mention Vital Player if you want to play any kind of video format and take a screenshot from it. FYI, you cannot use magic pen to take screenshot from any kind of video player other than Vital Player.

[Request] MKV 3D Video Players

Anyone know which players support mkv format in 3D?
The built-in player cannot play mkv format; vplayer supports mkv but 3D
Or anyone know how to install codecs for the built-in video player?
look like impossible
Have you tried RockPlayer? I know that it's capable of playing both mkv and 3D videos. Pretty sure I've played a 3D mkv video using it as well. Been a while, so I can't remember for sure, but it's worth a shot.
Vplayer dont wirk on cm7 Sent my trollpital bed
MX Video player works great at playing MKV files

You can also install the ARM 7 codec to improve performance

Yeah, MX player works and is what I use.

This player cant play 3D. Or can? How?
I believe Mobo player will play them.
No. Only one 3D player is default player. Unfortunately. Or not?
if you already have a 3d video downloaded from youtube use bsplayer. it plays all formats.
if you want to watch some chinese 3d video download 3dvplayer.only mp4 format.
Try this...

Which video player does this?

Whenever i quit my movies on the stock vid app, the movie doesnt resume where it was, what video player does what i want?
Mx player is doing that by default, you can change it in settings, probably some others have this in options.
Any others to recommend?

[Q] What do you use to watch media from your phone?

I like having my movies on my ad card cause when I'm sitting at people's houses and tell them "I've got _______ on bluray on my phone." And play it through the PS3, 360, or whatever. But the stock media player on the phone doesn't play all file formats. Any suggestions on what else I can use? Or and I S.O.L and better just keep being cool with playing it through other media outlets.....

i have tried almost every video player on the market and only one stands out of them.
i have alot of 1080p videos and hardware acceleration is very important to me as software mode is slow and eats up battery life when playback.
i tried mx video player, mobo player, etc... and they fail on some video files i have. they either has no (audio sound, no hw acceleration, etc...)
i have alot of onboard f1 videos directly stream sniped on f1.com and converting it to another format is not an option as they would introduce a/v sync issue
an example file would be this one http://www.mediafire.com/?zkpx798acmcdlb0
the only video player that works for hardware acceleration is Vplayer. though, i also keep a copy of mx video player as Vplayer lacks the seek swipe feature and it is sometimes slow on buffering.

Vplayer for hardware acceleration and screen lock (so my kid can't touch the screen and stop the vid).
MX player has a kidd plugin that makes shapes and noises when you touch the screen also locks it with out the plug in. its good for kids to watch movies and keep themselves entertained watching bunnies and stars appear wherever they touch while watching Toy Story https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.kidslock&hl=en
