Video player suggestions? - X 2014 Themes and Apps

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.

Best Video Player for Samsung G3...Need Ur Comments...

hi all..,
i want a video player which plays all format including mkv,flv...
i tried several...but found one ... QQPlayer...
the problem is......even though i had hybrid data2sd enabled..it installed in internal memory and took 5-6 MB
any other video player...which play all formats for G3...without lag..??
need ur comments....
pls...if possible...anybody could upload or PM me...apk of best video player for G3...
Frankly speaking i dont use this phone for watching videos. If i have to; i use the stock one. I have heard is Double Twist player is good. It has both music and video support. I have also heard that Mobo Player is good. Try these both and see which suits you.
BTW It really doesnt make a difference for which player you use. All are mostly the same but have different UIs
use rockplayer.its the best.plays everything,even streaming from some sites like iphoneanime.net
Yup, All players I have tried play other formats (flv, mkv) with lags and unsync sound using software decoding. It will be useful if anyone gave good video player.
I use MXplayer since it has a option of fast SW decoding mode. Just don't like it's UI for video list.
MXvideoplayer - didn't see any flow in it, everything is as to my wishes.

guys..mx video player sucks...very badly...don't use...
qq player is the best...
try a movie at 30fps...qqplayer plays very well...while mx player lags...
One more problem with MX is when using Soft decoding, it disables sound after some seconds. Moboplayer plays well but lags when showing playing interface. I use QQPlayer as alternative, It plays soft decoding Videos nicely while keeping as much sync with music as it can, so far so good!
MX is good if want to work with different options like zoom, color etc. Smooth while playing. Though need to fix lot of issues.
Moboplayer for User interference but lags. Lags while playing in Stretched Full Screen mode too.
Rockplayer, never tried.. slow for me so wouldn't recommend.
Overall- QQPlayer looks best one so far.
Do not open new thread.On my g3 watching lots of movies, but I have a problem with this type of movies: BRRip XviD, BDRip XviD, and AC3.Koristim mvideo player and the best is what I tried, but it cant open this one.I tried mxvideo , mobovideo, BSplayer with codecs. I have a problem with the image and tone, is there a player that can smooth it runs all formats? Thank you
Sorry for bad english.Google translate.
Tried all players mentioned here earlier..finally found Kascend Video player that works perfectly with CM7.
I will try.Thanks

I'm sorry but that's a lousy player...even the stock player works better than it, and MX is tons better, if you're using it for anything thats a blu-ray rip or mkv file. The QQ didn't even detect half of my bd-rips! Next time do some real time research before pitching an app.
Qqplayer was a great one but vplayer is beter

which video player do you use?

Wondering which ones you guys use on X2.
I want to be able to play some 720P videos streamed from my NAS device.
I tried MX player (just ok), so far, dice player appears to be working well, but wondering what else is out there.
Thanks.
VLC will always be king in my book, both on mobile and desktops... Nothing else compares to it
from my X2 roaming the north
mVideoPlayer is my player of choice.
I havent really looked into third party video players yet. Are there any video players where you can adjust the brightness, contrast, etc.?
Just using stock but open to suggestion's..
Issue with stock:
Many videos will play without audio.
No stream play capability = must copy files internally from my NAS server.
I am currently using MX video player. Works pretty well.
Just wondering what people are using.
Thanks.
I had the same deal, streaming DLNA
here are a few tries for you

Wrong thread.
i too use mx video player. most versatile one ive found so far
I use BSPlayer lite
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
Supports mkv, subtitles, hardware acceleration and has built in samba support for streaming files over network.
Haven't tried it on my X2 since I don't watch videos on it but works great on Xoom.

I noticed that mx player can NOT do hardware decode over SMB network stream.
Once I move the file locally, it plays fine.

FYI: upnp client and video player that just work

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?

[Q] Video Player that supports DTS audio...

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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.videofree
If you grab the free codec pack it plays everything I throw at it including DTS, AC3, etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m4rk3t.libcopy2
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:

Best Video Playback App?

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..
