Looking for a good movie player

Any recommendations on a good movie player app on my rooted Aria?

Rock player. there are 3 versions, i have V6+VFP installed (guess and check till one worked), and it's great. plays more formats than the stock media player, including avi.

I can second that, RockPlayer seems to be working quite well, though I don't remember which of the 3 versions I installed.

How big of a video file can the Aria handle. I recorded some HBO episodes of Entourage and other shows that I would like to play on it as well as some digital copies of movies. Can the Aria/Rockplayer handle that as well?

It sure can!

Double Twist seems to work well as well. It converts the videos when you "import" them to your device.

i put a down converted star trek blu ray using handbrake in mp4 format on my sd card at about 800 megs and played perfect VERY nice quality

How come.MSN. videos doesn't work?? Any idea how to make.it.work??

I personally use Act 1 Video Player and it works out quite nicely, also the 3d gallery apps plays a lot of the movies files I have. So that might be an option if you want them all in that organization layout.

I just use the stock sense movie player. It plays awesome, seek and pause work great.
And it does a fixed ratio fit based on height or width.
Its just missing some fast forward. Multispeed ff would be a nice addition.

Excellent movie player

I just ran across ROCKPLAYER... for far it looks like an excellent movie player for the Samsung Epic 4g.... free version has some restrictions (but you can live with them).... paid version $9.99 removes the restrictions... am watching an avi movie now... sounds like it supports multiple formats... avi, mkv, etc.... just posting this for anyone who may be looking for a good movie player for their phone.

The stock player plays all those formats fine. Do you think there is a need for a player app?

Word,no need for another player,i tried a few and to me stock is the best.Maybe for wmv,rmb files and such rockplayer is usefull.Does stock play wmv?I havent tried it.Rockplyer is nice for phones that don't have native support.

Epic 4G natively supports a wide selection of codecs. Rockplayer uses its own for playback and doesn't run that well in a lot of situations. The stock player works perfectly for anything except MKVs, where it doesn't support subtitles. However, mVideoPlayer takes advantage of built-in codecs and supports subtitles flawlessly.

Stock player doesn't play flash video rock player I recommend this app its my favorite

i personally like act 1 the best.. ive tried mplayer and rockplayer.. they are all good.. i just stuck with act1

mVideoPlayer only plays movies that your phone supports natively. So if the Epic can play m4vs, mVideoPlayer can.

Anyone get .wmv or .wma files to work

I downloaded vplayer beta on my Evo and it works great. Tried it on the nook and it doesnt work. Anyone get anything done???

I used Zimly to get around this on my HTC. Just tried it and it does not work with wma files.
I have used mcebuddy to transcode mediacenter tv programs to generic mp4. it works with the nook stock player, but not zimly...

I have successfully played .wmv with yxplayer. It's not free however.

yx has very mixed reviews... how is it on your nc?
Sent from my NC using XDA app

It works ok. But I only have 1 wmv file.

just tried winamp... that didn't work either, though at least it could read the tags. yx has such terrible reviews that I don't want to go there.

RockPlayer
The best media player I have found to run on my Nook Color is the RockPlayer. I have not tried .WMA or .WMV files on it but it is very good with .AVI, etc.
A brief description of a recent release, that I found on the web, reads as follows:
"RockPlayer is a powerfull media player for android phones, it offers support for a wide range of video formats which includes AVI, MKV, RMVB, MP4, FLV, 3GP, MOV, WMV, ASF, RV40, DivX, Xvid, and H.264."
I believe I downloaded my copy from The Android Market.

Rock player works for many different formats. I have played .avi files perfectly almost as good as my home dvd player. However .wmv didnt work correctly. I redownloaded Vplayer it seems they did a little tweaking and I played 2 .wmv files that were email attachments that i downloaded to the nook perfectly....

yet another video thread...

what I've tried...
-rockplayer 1.6.3
-qqplayer
-vplayer (unlocked)
-vital player
What I watch..
-mostly divx avis haven't bothered trying nor do i care about mkvs at this point
ideally, where I would play video from nfs/cifs mounted storage
-cifs is working via cifs manager
what I've noticed
-rockplayer doesn't want to play anything
-qqplayer plays things but its choppy
-vplayer doesnt want to play anything either
- vital player cant play anything outside of /sdcard and doesnt play anything.
by doesnt work i mean i see the file in the player, i select it, either nothing happens or it appears to load and just closes the app. (yes software decode mode)
as a side note I've also noticed adb push file.avi /sdcard is much slower than my old 32gb class2 microsd card in my evo, and slower than the internal 16gb storage in my nexus s. (1266 KB/s (732659712 bytes in 565.100s))
anyone else having as much trouble as I?

My avi's play fine with rockplayer universal
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

You know whats strange? This device can handle the mkv format just fine.. whereas my gtab cannot.. yet plays avi's without any issues what so ever.

My m4vs, at first, will blank with weird rainbow lines for first few seconds but play terrific on RockPlayer afterward. Every time I select a m4v file.
Didn't try other formats such as avi, mkv, wmv, ogg, etc.
Tried VPlayer Unlocker, QQPlayer, all no good.
I'm looking forward to either VLC or CorePlayer which I think will hit first, on twitter, it's said to be expected to go out by middle of this month. Let's hope.

i dont know why, but every time i try to load an MKV file onto my xoom, windows explorer crashes. anyone else have this problem?

But do you get audio?
Here's what I've found:

I suppose it depends on the audio that's muxed in. AAC should work in place of AC3 - downmixed to stereo. Though I actually haven't tried multichannel aac, I doubt it would work out correctly. Question is, do dts and ac3 pass thru work (thru HDMI)

I stated this in another post for video, so here goes again.
PLEX
I am working with the Android devs for Plex right now as a beta tester. At this very moment he is working on the video subsystem. Once the kinks are ironed out the next update will be pushed to the market.
I dont know about you, but I dont like having to encode my movies into another format just so I can watch them on my phone/tablet. Also having a collection closing in on 1000 movies makes that even more of a pain. I like the idea of having a server at home push my movies, NO MATTER the format to my phone/tablet.
Plex on my Nexus S looks near perfect, and there is early work being done to improve the video quality.
If I had to take a guess I would say the public is about two weeks or less away from an update that enables playback on the Xoom. Even better the interface will be tweaked to take advantage of the screen size and Tegra chip after that.
I will post in the forum the moment the official release goes live for our new toy.

native movie player

Hey guys,
Forgive me if I'm stating something everyone already knows. I was trying to get my converted movies (h. 264 mp4) to play and was having no luck. Then i noticed that the built in movie player played them perfectly. It only seemed to recognize certain formats, but it played them with no issues. These werent the high profile 1080p, but it was better than rock player.
