[Q] What's the best video player for the tab?

Ok. I know there are several video players at the market. But not sure which is the best on the SGT.
I have VLC player on several of my machines at work and at home. It has become my #1 media player. Also, I have videos in these formats:
Extension: .mp4
- -video codec: H264 - MPEG 4 AVC (avc1) 480x192 @ 24 fps
- -audio codec: MPEG AAC (mp4a) 48khz
Extension: .ogv
- -video codec: Xiph.org Theora (theo) 1280x544 @ 24 fps
- -audio codec: Vorbis Audio (vorb) 48khz
I need a player that supports those video formats as well as others like xvid, .mov & .avi
I really want VLC Player on my tab but I guess it doesnt exist. So whats my alternatives?

I am using vplayer. But no matter which one you use, you will hear a faint humming sound in the headphones. I thought the problem was with vplayer but I noticed it in other players too except the stock player which has some cool features like bookmark and lock screen which others don't have.

Vplayer for streaming via tversity and upnp. Stock player is good but is very picky
Oh and vlc for android is due very soon
Here's the git..

M video seems the best! I love the swipe action to fast forward or rewind
The back ground noise is from the Tab its self, simlar error on the i9000, use a new kernel with voodoo sound and should/will solve ya problem

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I will try both mplayer and vplayer.

Well I read the VLC discussion forums and it seems that the developers are working hard but are still a long way from a release. By the looks of it perhaps by May or June we could have a stable VLC Player version at Android Market.

Video Player help???
Hey guys,
I have a Spring Galaxy Tab. I have it rooted and everything. I've been trying to find a all in one video player but none of them seems to be working correctly. I have several movies and videos I converted to watch on my EVO or my Zune HD, but now that I have my tab, I would like use them there too. All the videos are in Mp4 format with either a 320x240 res 600x480 (forget what the numbers are but its the level above 320x240).
Vplayer - starts up and immediately shouts down. The the icon changes and is grayed out with a little memory card icon on it. Then I have to uninstall it.
Divx Demo Player (Rock player with extras) - and it wont play anything. But it plays any format of video or movie on my Evo.
Rock Player - I have the new version from the site and it wont play anything
Seems like nothing is working.. Most times it gives a error saying the video formats are not supported. But I have all these video player on my Evo (Which I know is a completely different device) but I'm wondering if my TAB needs video codecs or something?
Any ideas?

Moboplayer

How about the stock video player of ginegerbird version,(with media striaght fight =false)?
Have u try? the stock one play mp4 avi mkv without problem except rmvb.

I will try Moboplayer. I'm still running the stock rom. Havnet tried to update to Gingerbread yet. Didnt think any of the roms would work since they are not based on the Sprint Tab.

I think I know what's wrong
Still getting the same errors on my movies. I converted them with iSkysoft Media Coverter for Mac.
Some of the movies I used the iPhone 4 profile.:H.264, 960x640 res, 30fps, 1500kbps birate.
And some using the iPod Touch mp4 profile: mp4 video codec, 640x480 res, 30fps, 2500kbps bitrate.
So now I see why they arent working, although both of those profiles work for the Evo and Zune HD,.
What is the complete best video format, res,frame etc... for the Sprint Galaxy Tab?

best video viewing app?

anyone have any suggestions for the best video viewing app for the gtab?
thanks!

Rockplayer.

Video Player
I'd have to go with MoboPlayer. Much better UI than Rockplayer, and doesn't seem near as choppy. Plus you can have a library type setup too. Check it out, it's free on the market. Also, when I downloaded the one from the market, it had me download an older version when I loaded it up for the first time. The older version actually worked better for me.

I like mVideo player. It runs very smooth on the G tab and it does have a library system with the ability for you to download cover art.

vital
my preference goes to vital player..

I like this player too but for some reason my avi files and mkvs sound seems a little low. I've raised the volume to Max and its still a little faint. Mp3s sound fine and plenty loud, I've got the volume app and tried raising the sound there but little difference...any suggestions?

Mobo player for sure. It is absolutely amazing.

Is there anything out there that plays 720p or 1080p videos? I have tried rockplayer universal, moboplayer, mvideo and all of them were choppy.
BTW, I'm running VEGAn-tab ginger rc1

I run Vegan 1.5.1 and 720 p is choppy in every player (and audio is hit or miss).
Is there some way to run those well in pre-gingerbread?

It depends on the file and how it's encoded. I've got a bunch of recorded TV that I've compressed to 720P mp4 files for my HTPC. They run about 1 Gig/hour. The only combination I've found that plays them on the GTab is the Calkulin+Clemsyn combo with Mobo Player. Even then I sometimes have audio sync issues. I'm sure I could transcode them on a different setting and get better playback, but that's where I am right now.

So is there a ROM that runs 720 and 1080 videos with hw acceleration ?

Guys, use the hardware encoder and make sure your video file is MP4 H.264 - I said this because I spent 1 weeks just for trying to get better player and turns out ---> It's all about hardware encoding/acceleration.
I'm currently using QQPlayer & VitalPlayer (both free version) and all my videos are 720x480 MP4 H.264 (this give me a good size of file 1.2GB each movie)..AND MAKE SURE YOUR PLAYER USING HARDWARE ENCODING rather using software encoding!
Video converter software that I've been using (IMO) - very low CPU usage, 12hr for 10 DVD movie conversion in MP4 H.264 720x480 with subtitles is WonderShare Video Converter Ultimate - pretty good converter and average CPU usage (all 4 core 3.3ghz) is 15% - repeat 15% all cores' CPU usage....
Tried another such Cyberlink Media Espresso, Movavi converter - LOL they are all running 100% CPU utilization
Good luck guys!

ughhh dude....You WANT IT TO BE 100% CPU utilization................
Unless its using Cuda or Open CL...
lol....

I found a new player I am trying out. arcMediaPro can be found on the Market. It has some great configurations but it too struggles with some HD movies. I use my GTab as a video player to hand my drivers to review their practice session as they get out of the race car. Just grab the microSD from the camera and put it in the GTab and launch the video and hand them the GTab. I do notice the audio has some syncing issues on some recordings but I am still going through the settings which are more complex than any of the other video players I have found. Here are a couple of links to these in-car videos..

[Q] 720p Mkv laggin

Sorry for starting a new thread, but I searched and couldn't find answers.
I'm trying to play 720p mkv files and they are all stuttering in my CM7 kang and etana kernel. Youtube 720p videos are ok, but the only way I could find to play my files was converting then to 640x480 (someone wrote that in some thread).
Is there any other way to play these files?

Maybe not enough ram. Tuurn off some apps

which player are you using? Try using MX Video Player or Mobo player.

I've tried all them, but have no luck. Do you really can always see any kind of 720P?

The built-in player (and all other players usig "hardware acceleration") works for some videos, for some others software-decoders work (mx player has a pretty good one).
BUT, you will not be able to play everything on this phone. "Hardware decoder" only supports up to a certain specification and "software decoding" is limited by the processor (overclocking might help a _little_ here).

Weird, I have same rom and kernel right now, plays ok even in HDMI the only problems this have is with 1080p with high profile, or some main (see bitrate), simple profile plays good.

when i play 720p mkv files i get a little stutter and audio-video sync problems. A 720p mp4 files plays perfectly though.

HD video player which supports 720p, 720i

Try in MX player to change decoder settings to S/W as standard. It worked for me in some cases.

Just to understand it better..
I believe that your media files are on SD and your SD card is a high speed card. Most of the media playes use inmemory buffers, if the internal memory is low or if your memory card is slow you might observ lags.
I hope that this is not an issue in your caes..

Salsa only runs a single core Qualcomm MSM7227, running at 800mhz and you may not get smooth video compared to you PC. Firstly, I use a minimum class 6 micro sd card, for faster read/write times. My personal pick of video player is QQPlayer (free), available from Google Play. Approximately a 5mb download and if you use "app 2 sd" (root not required) and move QQPlayer app to your sd card, it takes up less than 1mb of internal memory.
Now the good news. I can play 720p all the time and some 1080p videos, that play, but may have sound and audio sync problems. QQPlayer will play AVI, FLV, MP4, 3GP, MKV, MOV formats and supports SRT, SMI plug-in subtitle and MKV embedded subtitle. If you Google "1080p movie trailer downloads" a fair number of web pages will have numerous HD movie trailer downloads in various qualities.

I didn't get on with qq, so I started using mx player, I feel it handles movies better and plays just about anything too throw at it. Some HD movies do lag some, but I don't mind if it's not majorly distorting the film.
BB is using Xparent Tapatalk ICS Blue

With a lot of you guys recommending MX Player, I thought I would download and try it today. I have a stock standard HTC Salsa (not rooted) and my benchmark for testing HD videos is to go for broke and play 1080p HD Mp4 format.
The MX Player stalled on playing Big Buck Bunny and Avatar Trailer videos, both 1080p Mp4 format. However, QQPlayer played both fine, with slight out of sync audio on voices only.

[Q] Galaxy and playing 720p .mkv movies

hi
First of all i want to say that i don't wana to use players like bsplayer, dice player or mx player.
I want to watch a movie in built-in player or m video player.
The thing is that these movies are working good on stock 2.2.1.
And one time is working for me on 2.3.6 (but i forgot on what rom and now i can't find it)
Maby some one know what to do to watch that type of movies.
MX player play this only in Sw mode.
One developer say's that this is maby kernel feature.
I think this could be some video drivers.

I recall that GamerzRom was able to play 720p mkv very well, but not with a stock player, it was with Moboplayer rather.
I don't think any stock player will be able to play 720p mkvs, due to the lack of hardware decoding support without proper codecs (Samsung does slap in quite a few already, but unfortunately not for MKV IIRC, presumably due to it possibly sucking too much RAM).
I guess your best bet would be to try that ROM with a 3rd party player like MoboPlayer, Dice player or MX player.

ok, i like the rom , video speed is little better but it still lagging and played in software mode
look at the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz-mh1RzmpA

It works just fine for me. On ICS CM9 with mx player. Very smooth and clear!

i'm using devil kernel with XL memory and without any problems. 720p videos work perfectly with Video player and Diceplayer.
So try and see if devil kernel helps you out too.
Good Luck

for me on CM9+devil's kernel 720p movies runs smooth without any problems, I'm using MXplayer.
