Hey folks I'm looking for a good video player. I use various formats but mostly avi but the only app I have found that plays it is QQplayer and that app sucks itself. Has vlc been ported to market yet or anything better?

MoboPlayer
The best I have used so far is MoboPlayer (http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html) You have to use the medium version since the Xoom doesn't support Neon. This is the only player I could get to play 720p video smoothly. Hope that helps and if you find something better let me know!
I would have to go with rockplayer. I have found it to play just about anything very well and haven't had any issues with videos on my Xoom.

Do you have the Lite version, or the Premium version?

+1 For Mobo. I had the Neon version and it was horrible. The medium version works great though!

I'm new to forums ... but have you tried Skifta. It is not optimized for the Xoom yet. Only works in portrait mode for me. Let me know if you can get files to play from other sources to the Xoom (espically video)

We just updated the version in the Android market to v0.73. Amongst many other things, this should fix up landscape mode and make it a bit more sensible to use on the Xoom.
Give it a go and let us know what you think!
Allan (of the Skifta team).
Twonky works. I have a media server and I am able to access video from several devices including the Xoom using Twonky. The thing with video is what type it is. I find avi has less issues. MP4 can be tricky.
I use it with PlayOn and Vortexbox as my backends and the new version with tablet support is exactly what I have been waiting for! Nice job!
I have been using it since I got my Xoom to stream from my xbmc box. It has worked pretty well for me. My only suggestion is to make sure and exit out of the app when you are done or it will murder your battery.

To be honest, I didn't notice much difference performance-wise. However, I like the layout of Moboplayer, feels like it is better optimized for Honeycomb.
mobo... it's no vlc player for desktop though.

yea i had too many FC's with rockplayer...its not HC optimized yet....moboplayer works great
i love how it saves where you left off on multiple videos
I find moboplayer generally outperforms rockplayer although the latest releases of both are very similar. Where rockplayer has an advantage is if you use UPnPlay to access network shares. If Mobo runs into something it can't play it will crash to the home screen. Rockplayer will usually just play with glitches rather than crashing so you can back out to the menu page and save time.
Moboplayer has been my preference even on phones, but recently I've tried playing 720p avi files and it can play it fine, but fast forwarding is murder

Try the tegra2-optimized version of rockplayer, very smooth with no FC. Make sure you use the hardware acceleration for maximum performance.

is that version in the market?
I need to know the best way and what people use, I'm using the latest MobyPlayer plus UTorrent but for some reason after it downloads and I go to play it back it says your device player isn't capable? If anyone could walk me through this or give a good link that would be great also used MXPlayer

i haven't had any problems with nay movies/videos...
Using MX video player (the free version) & it seems to play almost anything i want.
I think maybe cuz I don't have 1.7gb available but are all movies that large

Maybe the player is telling you that it can't use HW decoding for video???
Sometimes using MXvideoplayer is uses SW decode, but as long as i'm not watching a hd movies it's ok.
It's a problem when you try to watch a 720p movies without using HW decoding..
It plays laggy; but generally it's a question of avi's codec that aren't decoded by our cpu..
Download qqplayer and everything will be fine.

Flashing Movies and How? Am I the only one who doesn't know what a flashing movie is?
Surely you must know if you have enough drive space to copy a movie across.
I use MXplayer to play vids. Works flawlessly even when the phones got tTorrent running which is extremely taxing. I rarely use the phone to watch movies besides on extended bathroom visits. Usually stream them to WDlive player using Twonky mobile if I couldn't be bothered copying them over. (All free versions btw)
@itsbeertimenow I tried qqplayer and was out of sync on mkv's.
I'm still trying to figure out the "flashing movies" bit

It might have been possible because of lower quality / reduced bit rate. I have a YouTube 720p video converted to mp4 playing flawlessly on my phone

Are you sure that HD 1280*720 that plays back??A lot of people's ROMs back on the Wildfire S forums mentioned 720p and then it turned out it's something stupid like 720*480 What CPU settings did you use??

Earlier when i tested ....the sd card booster was set at 128kb
Then i changed over to value 2038 and still theres lag while playing videos.
I again mention..these are .flv type 320p videos.
thnk u.
Mx is the best u will get. Playing vids at high Res like 720 is hit or miss so guys please lay of it this. Were all experienced enough to know it struggles to play. This post is old enough to say this. I myself have tried all video playing apps and have gone back to Mx. I stream vidoes fine in normal Res so why the need for 720. If u want to play 720 get a top spec phone from the shop.
