After getting a tip about moboplayer I downloaded it, wow what a difference. I can actually play Avi files that are 720p and encoded at high profile, simply awesome.

It's another ffmpeg-based (i.e. software) player. Chinese origin. Looks suspiciously like Rockplayer. Changelog, if to be believed, indicated that most development took little over a month. Google search on 'moboplayer' turns up no track record, just a list of low-quality links. OP behaves like a spambot. My opinion, let someone else be the guinea pig.
Comparison:
http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
http://rockplayer.freecoder.org/index_en.html
There are a few users over on this thread also claiming it works well and they have more than 1 post for those worried about spambots
I'm always amazed at some's carefree attitude of trying new software. It's as if the notion of malware simply doesn't exist in their world. But hey, somebody has tried it, and he has more than a few posts, so I'm sure it must be OK.
And FREE, too! What a deal, eh?
after the recent virus raid on the marketplace I'm a little skeptical about this app. It seems too good to be true.
....................
Tried this on my CM7 Galaxy S and it looks like a fancier version of the Rockplayer.
720P still either stutters badly when using software mode or the video plays fine but no sound on hardware mode (identical to the Rockplayer).
I can assure you I am not a spam bot. File was an Avi encoded at high profile 3.1, played perfecly throughout. Just trying to help others out, jesus people jump all over everyone on this forum, hostile much?

been using moboplayer for a few weeks already. I like it, it plays some stuff that rockplayer cant.
And an fyi for anyone who cares out there, rockplayer would not play this file.

Anyone else using moboplayer know if it is true that the non version will not function in xoom? I am currently using medium build.

Sorry to be a bit of a skeptic here, but if you go to the Android Market and you look at the reviews for this app all but one of them is dated April 1. That's an odd coincidence.
And what holiday falls on April 1?
just tried it, its totally just rockplayer but it has engrish, doesn't work as well, and just seems overall shady. Vitalplayer works OK but rockplayer is still definately the best as of right now.
I have been using moboplayer for a couple days and its the only player that plays everything i through at it with no problems. ( MAKE SURE YOU USE THE MEDIUM VERSION AND NOT THE NEON VERSION)
They just released an updated version on there website today.
http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
Rockplayer constinatly force closes on me.
If this is for real, then why are the download links non-functional?
It's for real. I just put it on my Xoom and my Evo. Runs really well. It does seem to be a rockplayer clone, but runs slightly better for me, and has a nice interface for a media library. Perhaps the site was updating with the latest version in regards to links being nonfunctional. I just downloaded 2 diff versions about 30min ago.

I updated mine earlier today from the website. I just checked and i see the Neon version sends you to the Android market and the the others are not available. Could be they took them down because of it being published on the Market now.
I also like how you can change the color of the UI.
OK it is for real. Was able to install it from the Market, and then upgrade from inside the app to the Non-Neon version. Good video player, with HD video that has been transcoded for the XOOM. But, otherwise performance doesn't appear any different than Rockplayer. High Proflile MKV's play with choppy video and no sound. Will experiment more with it in the morning.

Hello!
I'm wondering if any is working on it actively? when do you think we will see a free, working codec / player of divx / xvid for android / htc magic mobile?
conveting movies is ok, but not a big fun ;P so, i hope some one will come up with something soon...
there is a paid one, but it is not too good, and movies got unwanted delays in middle of the presentation.
thanks!

I'm using it to show people the new cataclysm wow trailer. Although it will play the original HD file from the website, it is laggy as hell. I use pspvideo9 to convert it to mp4. Plays Like a dvd.
It works ok for me on my phone,but i only use it to watch tv shows,so 45 minutes run time max. (test both G1 and Magic).
Lifehacker just posted that about watching divx on Android, and I thought of this thread. They use RockPlayerBase which is still in beta, but apparently gets the job done.

You're trying to play 720p video on a device with 192/288mb ram and a 528mhz CPU?! You're clearly intoxicated if you think that's going to work smoothly.

Nope, I am aware of the hardware limitations of the 32B, but I am trying to play a 640x352 AVI. Rockbase player doesn't even shows a frame, it shows nothing.With other players like yxflash I can see the movie, although not in a decent frame rate.

i'm trying it on my HTC magic (running cyanogen 5.0.8, which is indeed 2.1)
doesn't work for me either. i can't seem to open any files.
tried 4 different avi's. all of them bring the app back to the folder selection screen.
i tried uninstalling + reinstalling the player twice as well.
any suggestions?
It requires a CPU with ARMv7 instruction set. HTC Magic have only ARMv6. That is why it isn't working...
RockPlayer does have 3 branches:
taken from their site at andplayer.com
Version ARM V7 ： Google Nexus One, HTC Desire Incredible EVO , Moto Milestone XT800, Droid Series,Acer Liquid, Samsung Galaxy S, Sony Ericsson X10 ,Dell Thunder Streak, LG LU2300 .ect
Version ARM V6 VFP： Samsung SHW-M100S GT-i5700 ,HTC Legend ,etc.
Version ARM V6 ： All models left running Android support ARMv6 instruction set.
I was able to play an Xvid encoded file from my mytouch 1.2. It can be a little choppy and audio/video desync, but it mostly does the job.

So, guys , as i understand there's no solution - we can't play xvid and as I tried big .avi files on our mt3g`s. If someone finds a player please post it here so we all can use it btw if someone can tell me player which plays big avi files - please write me a message or smth.

I found the Netflix apk that leaked today. I am in no way a dev, just a very thankful direction follower. The app functions beautifully, (recently watched, instant que, browse) the only thing not working is the most important streaming. It attempts then pulls error (1005) can not connect to server. Hopefully there is a work around. http://lts.cr/TY5, thanks to phandroid for the link.

Just tried it.Says it can't find the service.
very nice! thanks a bunch!!!! will try later on tonight....
awesome.....almost
i have been waiting for a dam netflix app forever.....too bad the only thing i need it to do it doesnt do...ha
anyway just wanted to say PLEASE someone get this to work....
netflix was the ONLY thing i liked more about wp7....wp7 sucks otherwise
peace
Completely agree.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA Premium App
It's in the .so library file or one of the libraries not included in the dump. Without them or the ability to decompile the one in the apk, we're out of luck.
so is there any hope....its funny that its the best thing about wp7 tho haha...
Well, if this apk can't be made functional, we will just have to wait for an official android app.

But the PlayOn app requires you to pay for their services on top of having a Netflix acct. So not worth it in my opinion. Though I did download and try it for the trial period. Was very cool. But I stand by my feelings on the matter. =p

The PlayOn app, IMHO, is a much better app for now and to replace the Netflix app when and if it works for all android phones. I am using PlayOn, I can watch Netflix, HULU, all sorts of other stuff and stream whatever is on my PC at home. This is great when I record a show on my PC, it is available for me to watch. I bought the lifetime membership for $80. I think that is cheap when compared to the access and entertainment I get in return. Not to mention that your carrier will not be happy with the amount of data used to watch movies. I have an "unlimited" plan and my data rate has been limited due to the carrier feeling I use too much. So after a few movies the app is worthless as it will not stream well and always buffer if your carrier is unhappy with your usage. This happened to me on WP7 and with playon on android. Why any company would put the time and effort into developing something that can't be used is beyond me. Wifi is jot an issue however, if I am able to connect to wifi I am usually somewhere I would have my laptop. Then why would I watch a Netflix movie on my phone?
found a solution...not really
my solution is to dual boot android and wp7....ha....im only using wp7 for the netflix app and it only took like a half hr to set everything up....and it was easy to do with the videos and such......yay netflix on my hd2 and it works way faster than streaming online websites.....you could tell i really wanted netflix to work.....and now i have dual boot also....so win win i guess.....i love this phone

Get the app there. It's pretty cool for spectating.
The PLAYER app is going to release later this year in the late summer or fall according to Onlive.
Can't wait for that!

Wow...thanks for the link...works perfectly...awesome how the newest things going for Android I always seem to find thru my Nook, and I usually get more things running on that, before my EVO...(Netflix for example....running for 3 weeks on my Nook before I got the Evo version figured out....Anyway, I'm sure that there's a workaround without waiting for a player .apk to be released....If the client is any Windows or Mac, as it says on their homepage, I suspect using a browser with the Nook in full desktop mode (like Maxthon for tablets) and a hacked version of Flash (like the ones that popped up when Netflix first arrived, which of course I made copies of, lol) would be perfectly sufficient..I'll give it a shot later tonight after work...post any results if anyone else gets further with this, please....Thanks again...

Some notes on the Onlive viewer app
Onlive uses at least two different quality streams.
Spectating (which is all you can do right now) uses a low quality stream. When you are playing a game, you get connected to a high quality stream where game look near local.
The Onlive player app will release this summer or fall and will be compatible with a universal wireless controller that will be compatible with most tablets and phones.
There is at least one game coming out for Onlive that will have exclusive tablet controls in addition to standard controls. The game is called From Dust and was shown at E3.
Also a browser with a 10Gbps connection will be on Onlive this summer or fall too.
I'm probably behind the curve right now but some guy ported flash player to armv6 devices like the aria. It works.

Doesn't really work for playing flash video, however, it does let you view the content. Waste of space imo.
Tested on Salsa ROM running Android 2.3.3 on top of HTC Sense 2.1
Using Stock browser, flash plugins loaded, but crashed when trying to play. (CNET TV Flash Video / Flash Game.
Going to whatismyflash.com confirms that flash is installed.
using Dolphin Browser HD, same thing happened.
Did I just wet myself? I believe I did...
Edit: That was a epic fail.
Yeah...the dev who made it didn't do to well imo.
50% of people can't get it to work.
^ You have no idea of what's involved... and you don't even understand why it didn't work. Shush
Works! Thanks!
Mostly works for me.my local news stations have mobile sites but I couldn't watch the videos, even with the sense flashlite.now they all play fine.

So? I'm reporting of what happened in my experience. Please don't tell me to shush. We don't need a negative person here. And considering the poll was 50/50 in saying yes it did work, or no I didn't.
Tried it last night - it seems to "show" the flash content better in browser, but if you click on any video or other content (or even zoom in sometimes), you get kicked out of the browser entirely.
Broken for HTC Aria/Liberty, I assume.
so this game was supposed to be released today. has not hit tegrazone or market yet...also androidpolice had two posts up related to shadowgun in the past 20 minutes, including one saying that it was released but they pulled them down right after they were posted.
anyone know whats going on with this highly anticipated release?
Check the android market right now. I just checked and it is up in there. I don't know if it is on the tablet market, because I'm at work right now, but it is on the web market. Can't wait to go home and play it!
yup you are correct! they just put it up. downloading it now

This game is ridiculous. I love it. How are you getting video game system controllers working with it? I have been unable...
I keep getting failures on downloads, so I found a place to download the SD Card content in .zip format, yeah, I know, but I bought it and want to play it.
Anyway, where on the "SD Card" are they supposed to go?
Thanks,
Gameloft should learn from Madfinger or EA to make their game, high graphic quality but less data capacity. (1.7 Gb for Tintin vs ~400 mb for shadowgun).

@keu nhu vac
Gameloft has been using its own game engine. It was supposed to switch to Unreal 3 starting with March of Heroes, but MoH was canceled. But look for future GL games to be using the new game engine.
BTW, Shadowgun uses the Unity engine, which has a free Windows version for would-be game devs. The non-pro Android add-in costs $400, which is still peanuts relatively speaking.

I've seen footage of it on youtube, but because it's paired via bluetooth it's slow, like if you are moving forward and let go of the analog, you proceed to move forward for a short period because of the lag between controller and tablet.
