Sort of like the topic states. Share your media player preference. It seems no matter which one I choose I lose functionality of something else. Right now I have zero video playback outside of YouTube or Netflix.

MX player works great for me. You might have to go to settings and set the decoding for either hardware or software. Also make sure you have the mx player codec (ARMv7). You can get it at google play, free.
Meridian is another nice media player, also free in google play.
If all else fails, try the AVIA 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.
Anybody knows about a Media player which can be used as an alternative to the Windows Media player for PPC...
I have tried the TCPMP and Core Player...but both of them are having lags while playing videos...
Well, i think it's time to confirm that the built-in Windows Media Player is still the best Media Player for X1...
Well for music, PocketMusic is the best. Has a lot of options and customizability, and tons of equalizer effects to choose from and doesn't lag at all.
For video, Core Player is probably the best, however it doesn't lag for me at all so it depends on what version you're using. I'm using the latest btw.
Or, you can give SmartMovie player a try. Other than that, TCPMP is the other option which you've already tried.......so ya there aren't much you can choose from for Windows Mobile unfortunately.
Oh and if you want to play .avi videos then try Divx Mobile player too. But that sucks.

you can convert the vidio first to mp4 or to 3gp first with xilisoft or Super converter video... in desktop computer...
yes, but I would also like to do direct streaming from my dreambox to my Xperia, in this case the player should be already installed on the phone...
I am trying to play video over the network. I have done this on my phone but I just cannot get it working on the TouchPad.
My problem is that whatever client I use, skifta, bubbleupnp, upnplay, they all use the stock android video player. I have installed several other video players such as mobo, vlc, and mx. Unfortunately I cannot get any of the Dona/upnp apps to use them. This wasn't an issue on gingerbread on my phone, but on the TouchPad I just cannot get it to use anything but the default player.
I have tried default app manager and cleared any defaults of any type that were set, set the defaults the way I wanted, etc, but it is like the apps simply do not see that any video player but the default exists.
EDIT: I AM NOT ASKING ABOUT HD VIDEO SUPPORT AND I UNDERSTAND SOME VIDEO PLAYERS MAY NOT WORK BUT SOME SHOULD. I AM NOT ASKING ABOUT HD VIDEO SUPPORT!!
the issue *again*, in a nutshell: I cannot CHANGE the default video player. There is no entry in Settings->Apps to "clear defaults" on, and it never prompts me for which video player to use even after installing new ones. Thus, I cannot use any 3rd party video player since IT NEVER PROMPTS ME FOR WHICH ONE TO USE.
Any advice or help?

HD video doesn't work yet in any of the ICS versions on the Touchpad. You can always boot into webOS to watch videos until they get in working in CM9. Otherwise you'd have the use the ACMEUnistaller to remove CM9 and re-install CM7.

Umm, I believe you are missing the point.... I'm not asking about HD video...
as I understand it, there ARE media players that will play video in cm9... it just won't let me *select* any of them...
Not only that, but WebOS does NOT support DLNA or UPNP which is what I'm trying to use. There is ONE app in the HP web store for it, but it 1) doesn't support most video formats, and 2) won't even recognize my UPNP/DLNA server which works perfectly fine with my phone, and is visible to cm9 also.

Your phone is NOT running an alpha version of ICS. NOBODY is at the point of "fixing" specific issues with individual apps in CM9. Have you even tried using CM7?
BTW, the DLNA players you mention all use their own "media player" to render content. None of them "connect" to other video players or music players in Android. If you can't "play" your "stuff" using BubbleUPnP in CM9 it IS most likely because of the HD video problem. I just tried Bubble in CM7 and it works fine using "Local Renderer". Which is the ONLY renderer available.

Actually, no, at least some of them will use an external media player and simply start the stream.
Whatever, obviously no help here.
I use es file explorer and when I click the video it buffers in Mx video player I think. Anything less than 1500 kbps plays fine for me.

My problem is that at some point I accidentally set the built-in player to default. So I have to open mx-player manually and play files that way. This obviously does not work when you're using a UPNP app to pass a video stream to the player. Unfortunately, it's passing to the built-in player.
It looks like either ICS, or AOKP one has an "issue" with the fact that there's no place to change this default once set. I've gone through EVERY SINGLE APP listed in the application manager and cleared defaults, and it is still not prompting for a new default media player.
Looks like the only solution for this is a reset, which is a lot of overkill...
Try deleting the internal video player or freezing it with titanium backup and then it might ask you again which video player to use.

I would do so if I knew which app it was hiding under. There's no app called "Media Player" or "Video Player"... It has the same icon as the gallery, so I'm wondering if it's hiding in there...

If you open /Settings/Applications/Running Services and all you see is the app itself and the Android UPnP service, and no video player, it is because, like I said to begin with, the app is doing its own rendering and NOT using any "default video player". You can try anything you like and it isn't going to work until you un-install ICS and install a GingerBread based version of Android. Bubble works fine in CM7 without using any external video player.

However, UPNPlay does NOT have an internal video player. Pretty sure Bubble doesn't, but I know for a *fact* UPNPlay doesn't. Again, if I open the files directly _they do play_. The issue is NOT that video files won't play - it is that the default video player cannot seem to be changed.

And I "know for a fact" that Bubble DOES have an "internal video player". And if UPNPlay doesn't have one, then the one it is using will show under /Settings/Applications/Running Services. If there is no video player running then the "FACT" is that you are wrong and it DOES have its own in Android. It may be a different thing in Windows, but that isn't relevant to this discussion. The simple reason that the "default video player" can't be changed is that there is no such animal. You can't change what doesn't exist.
edit: I just checked the settings for UPNPlay and it has settings for third party *Audio* players but NOT for third party video. I guess some people's "facts" are different from others.

For some reason the default video player cannot stream to DLNA (at least mine doesn't). Grab iMediaShare from Play Store, works like a charm. The paid version lets you even stream videos directly from YouTube!
Hope that helps.
Thanks for Reply

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't work for me, why does the standard video player not work it's ridiculous don't you think, they include a feature on a high end device that isn't working.
??????
Still no answers for this?????
Got the same problem
I got the same problem when trying to stream any video I recorded with my HTC to XBMC-DLNA player through the stock video player. Other players seem to do the work with no issues. Any news on this?
same here. imediashare is working, htc player not working, htc lies about dlna in the spec.
Just wanting to know which movie player apps everyone is using on their Note 8. I have several movies on my phone and I usually use MX Player Pro or VLC player to play them but some of the movies I have, the audio does not play or sounds real low and squeaky. Maybe I'm missing audio codecs or something?

I've always used BS Player. Excellent for network drives and also you can offset the audio track, which is very useful for out of sync audio, which can sometimes happen with a Bluetooth headset or a bad rip
I didn't play too many movies but I don't remember even one that VLC wasn't able to play yet, so it's my player of choice. I know Samsung doesn't have AC3 sound codec included, so any player relying on internal codecs won't work with AC3, but VLC does. If you load the movie onto computer, you can find out what codecs it uses and maybe you can install those as separate package, but as I said IMO VLC is probably the best.
VLC is all you need. I use it on both my phone and computer. It plays everything you throw at it.
MX player. Recently VLC Player is good

When you hit the screen, while a video is playing, under the BS logo there is an arrow pointing to the right. Expand that and full screen is the last option
