These applications I use more than anything: Tubemate, Chrome, Adownloader and MX. What, if any, are the equivalent apps on WP.
IE 10 is what you use instead of Chrome.
You don't need MX, the built-in music and video apps are good enough. IDK what the others do, but there are probably some equivalent as well.
UC has been suggested as well. I need a multi codec video player.
Yeah, VLC for WP8 would be nice.

While built in apps are good, they still lack some important codecs for many people, while some will say convert the video's/music you want i do not want to waste time doing this.
Vlc, Mx or similar apps would be a big + for the platform.

Do we have the MX developers on XDA? VLC for Android has been an absolute disaster, IMHO.

There is always the problem of supported codecs by your CPU. Windows Phone seems to have quite en extensive codec support list (i think all of them are in there), but it depends on your CPU.
If your CPU does not naturally support this codec, it will be pretty difficult to hack it.

I tried rock player lite, but it doesn't play hd vids very smoothly; I transcoded Star Trek 2009 to mp4, and its very jerky and doesn't play smooth..
Any other video players that you guys might recommend?
thanks so much; lovin' this damn thing!!!

The best I have used so far is MoboPlayer (http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html) You have to use the medium version since the Xoom doesn't support Neon. This is the only player I could get to play 720p video smoothly. Hope that helps and if you find something better let me know!

I tried this and it works the best out of all i have tried. Make sure you get the medium version and not the Neon version.
unfortunately, mobo player does not recognize .m4v files, which is how I have saved my ripped Blu rays..

tried renaming them as mp4? usually does the trick for me if i recall. the two formats are almost identical.
I have had no trouble using the stock video player to play 720p videos encoded into a mp4 file. I would go that route and use the hardware decoding

thanks; doing that, and encoding 720p instead of 1080p seemed to fix it!
Any news on the android version of VLC??

The Xoom can easily handle 720p videos. I haven't tested 1080. It all depends on how you encode the video.
From what I've seen on the threads and in personal experience, there are really only two viable players: the Android native video player, and RockPlayer. Between these two, you should be able to enjoy all your video, provided you have encoded them correctly.
I hate converting videos, thats why i use mobo. Its played all my videos great. Much better than Rock played, vplayer advance same spot.
found one!
Vital player will play everything for me, including 1080p videos that I have encoded with Handbrake..
Loving this thing!!
rockplayer and the stock video player handles blu rays i convert with handbrake very well
I tried different players and playback quality is mostly the same. Perhaps minor, but I like the interface in mVideoPlayer - posters, IMDB links etc.
I have said it before and Ill say it again. Your best bet for video is to get PLEX. As of this writing it is still not Honeycomb ready. As a beta tester working with the devs, I can tell you that its playing video like a champ on my Xoom and a release to public should be coming very soon.
what good is telling us that here if WE can't download it yet?
you should wait until its released before you keep posting that here..

Two reasons really.
Lets face facts that the majority of us here own a Xoom because we are Android nerds and already own a Android phone. So purchasing Plex on your phone will give you access to it on your Xoom when its available. In truth you can install it on your Xoom already, the video just does not work in the current release.
Two there is no quicker way to know about its updated release for Honeycomb compatibility then to have it already installed and letting the market inform you.
Lastly this is a community page and a community OS, so keeping others informed is kind of the way things work. If you have a problem with someone telling you that there will soon be an app released that will do X, but you cant have it yet, mumble quietly to yourself, but keep it to yourself.

Does it play local files yet or all still streamed from server? Also, any clue of an ETA?

QQPlayer is free and doesnt want any special permissions
Hi,
I use QQPlayer. It plays everything I have thrown at it and it does not need any special permissions to install.

Obviously wasn't high profile or it would have stuttered without sound.
Any other N1 users trying Moboplayer? It seems like a nice alternative to Rock Player.
It seems that Moboplayer has various codec versions compiled for various processors, see
http://www.moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html#download
Anyone have a suggestion for the N1?
Thanks
This is for Nexus One's CPU : ARM V7_NEON
For me this is the best player by far

Best Android Video Player Ever!
Dice player is better it actually can play 720p mkv high profile on nexus one
Still not as good as stock Galaxy S who does [email protected]
Good player on my N1
This player has the best audio/video sync of any of the players I have tried: Real player, Gallery, Rock player. I also find the most lag free play with Mobo for the entire length of the movies.
A suggestion: Mobo could remember where I left off if I have to stop a movie,exit Mobo, and come back later. If it can do this, I have not found out how.
I am interesting in this little thing but before I buy it I have several questions that I need to understand.
I heared that chromecast only support few apps. The most reason that I want to buy it is that I want to stream movie(720/1080P MKV) that I use MXPLAYER as player to my HDTV. Does it come true??? If it can work, will audio delay ???
Not yet, first google must allow other apps to work with the Chromecast then the developer of the app should make his app compatible with the CC protocols. Maybe in a few weeks/days this will be possible.

You should be able to open the file with chrome and tab cast the video... Works well for me. I would imagine many apps will add support soon as stated above.

nope its also not working. MX Player Pro is hands down the best player for android. its running the videos but with stutter. im sure this Exynos ****SET is the culprit here.
thats the reason why i and millions of other people like Snapdragon chipsets. they at least work great with great battery life and everything optimized. not like samsung. i might sell this crap soon getting only 3 hours of screen on time. and its just box opened brand new tablet.

Did you try changing it from HW to SW. May help.
As far as I know Exynos doesn't support hardware rendering of 4k video (only 2.5k).
How do you know which is which?

So I have the Exynos Processor. How many different chipsets are there in the SM-T800? why would they make more than 1 kind under the same model? What are the main differences between them?
I know noobish but I would like to know. Thanks

We only have 2K screen... 2560x1600... if you download your videos in 2560x1440 they work flawless... 4K video will give you stutter no matter which player you use on this device... I've tried a bunch of them.

I tried playing a few 4k videos on my SM-T800 galaxy tab s 10.5 (exynos) and for every file it stutters.
I've tried MX player - but it defaults to S/W decoding since H/W decoding isn't supported. Even though the format is H/W supported (H264), it just doesn't allow H/W decoding at these resolutions.
BS Player defaults to S/W too, as it shows 'S/W' when it displays the player properties.
Is there no current solution? Do we just sit and wait for H/W support to be enabled in the near future - or is it just too hardware intensive on the Exynos that no one will bother.
Can somebody explain why you are playing 4k video`s on a 2k+ tablet, is it just to see if they play correctly, are they just clips, a full 4k movie must be a big file.
I use the free handbrake software on my notebook, to convert and movies or series mostly animi to nHD which is 640x360 if i am going to keep them on my tablet, the higher the video resolution the more power the tablet needs to use to display them, so not only are 4k video are huge, they use a lot of battery life to play.
John.
It's just to see if the device can actually play 4k, and to see if hardware encoding even makes a difference.
Given that 4k will be more prevalent in the future, it's just testing to see if it will be able to handle the larger bitrates/files.
Most of my 4k clips are only about 2-4 minutes in length.
I wish my 10.5" could play in hardware the new h.265 format, as the video files can be up to half the size of the current h.264 version for the same quality, but it cannot, so it will have to be played back in software mode, oh well you cannot have everything, maybe it will take a while for H.265 to catch on.
John.
Yes. Freezing temporarily. I can not believe that no solution. Note 3 has same cpu, I look its forum but nothing found.
I'm currently using MX Player, is there any other that's better?

tried VLC and seems like they have almost the same features, tho I still prefer MX Player... I guess no player out there can beat the MX Player.
Has MX started supporting h264 mkv again? They removed it about a year ago over ' copyright issues', which rendered the app completely useless.
I always use VLC. Because it supports every codec. Also, it's open source.

For movie playback sessions, I once bought ZoomPlayer, having lots of features aiming for this scenario.
Always satisfied with VLC, but is not working on my tablet with cm13...
Using MX, perfectly.

It's definitely VLC.
MX Player Pro is my personal favorite. It's very customizable and can handle anything I've needed it for.
