I've tried a few different media players with mixed results. Was curious what the most stable one people would recommend. Mainly I'm looking at playing videos from my computer over the network.
VPlayer works good, supporting acceleration. Before I preferred MX player, but now have lags during playback. Also tried dice player, can't enable h/w on Nov, so had lags.
I use MX Player. I have not experienced any lag, but I'm not playing back high-bitrate high-resolutions videos.
Rockplayer.
I like ....
BSPlayer Lite for my Kindle Fire HD works absolutely great ......... MX Player hangs and I had to remove it .... however, it works fine on my older Kindle Fire, if I do NOT use the latest version. The latest version crashes and jumps out of the video. :laugh:.
I think the best I've used is the mobo player app. I use it and like the floating window option.

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

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?

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

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.

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.
Please recommend a video player + Version that we can play .mp4 with H264 codecs and .flv files on our FBO devices smoothly.
I believe we have ARMv7 type CPU... Ive tried a few players but most struggle with large .flv file size.
My devices and firmware are
1x WellcoM A99 (850 UMTS) running the awesome Bumble bee 101-3
1x WellcoM A99 (850 UMTS) running Stock 2.3.4 WellcoM Rom Rooted/unbloated
1x Cherry Mobile Magnum HD (900 UMTS) running Bumble bee 101-3

You where on to something here
Spent half the day installing uninstalling various players and their versions.
Mobo player lagged on .flv files
Rockplayer lagged on large .flv or couldnt use hardware encoding.
MX Player latest version kept giving me FC
then i read about MX Player v1.5 being stable and compatible for CM7 so i gave it a try... it works FLAWLESS!! and it even Hardware Encodes when it needs which none of the others did.
thx to those that recommended.

nope still cant play this one file i have, its a 1080p 140mb MP4 .flv music video... i mean it plays but is laggy as hell.
BUZZ player is good, but still not as good as the MX Player v1.5
thanks tho
I use a combo of bsplayer lite and mx player. Best of all, they're both free! Grab em, on the play store. install the arm v7 codecs if you're having trouble playing files.
I like to use MX player. easy to navigate to fast foward, to increase/decrease volume while driving. hehe
Have You Tried QQPlayer??
Guy's Have you tried "Dice player" it's also very good player
I still recommend you Mobo player.. Don't use "Mobo Player Pro"..
Go to settings and set it to default "Soft Decoding"..
I myself played many .flv files of more than 1GB data......
Because I love watching movies on our device...

+1 bro.. ithinks MX Player 1.5 is still #1 for me when using CM7 bumblebee + the awesome ICS-Gingerbread theme loaded from the CM7 Theme Chooser app. And like what natsuke said just swipe up/down for volume so easy!
FYI i still keep trying new video players when you guys recommend them so keep the recommendations coming in if you find something
cheers

I tried the latest Vital Player Pro, and it wouldn't play some of my .flv music videos where the MX Player would. It wouldn't even hardware encode so its a fail from me

I tried this yesterday, the latest pro version 2.04... omg every .flv file i tried to play the screen went crazy with different colors and i couldnt see the video.
edit.. this only happened while using the ICS Codename Rom, once i put MacDragon Rom back on the App played all files nicely. It even switched to HW encode
bs player is good player..it performs better than rockplayer.those formats which are not supported by the stock player ar played with softwaredecoding.thats why at higher resulutions those players can not give good performance.i've tried h.264 hd file it only gives 20 to 21fps..but the mp4 version gives 31fps..only reason is hardware decoding instade of s/d..by the way rockplayer can play any format..

Hi
I have a galaxy S i9000 with cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm having problems running avi files, when I try to play some film or anything avi it plays the sound but no image!!! Sometimes the video nor even open.
i've tried with a lot of players like Mxplayer but still doesnt work..
PLEASE!! I NEED HELP!!
Try dice or bs player.
Best Player -> RockPlayer
If you are trying to play videos from gallery, there might be problem like this... just play it straight from mx player app, it should work fine
I've had this problem on all ics roms too. I have not found a solution. Tried all the players in the store.

I'm having problems playing MKV files on my 5th Gen Fire 7 using a custom rom (the excellent "nexus" rom featured elsewhere on these boards). On VLC and ES Media player I just get a black screen with perfect audio. Using MX player with the ARMv7 codec I get video but it's badly out of synch with the audio. The thing I find odd is that I VLC for windows and the EX Media player on my Galaxy s7 both play the same files with no problem. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Jonny

No problem with MKV playback w/standard VLC v2.0.6 on a slightly tuned 5th gen Fire running the latest Nexus build. Really depends on encoding as these pups don't have much horsepower. Try snagging a few test vids to see if they play. I had no problem with the 3D samples.
