I tried CorePlayer, newest version, it plays em perfectly, but NO subtitles.
Was on website, as of 7/02/10 they have NO support for subtitles in mkv files.
Any programs out there that has?
did you try with the TCPMP build which works on the Leo? MKV is just a wrapper, so if the codec is a supported one it could be possible to read it correctly
Found and tried it.
It doesnt run the mkv's smoothly like CorePlayer, lags a whole lot.
And no subtitles here either. (yes I tried both)

I am looking for a player that does this too, I have Sompy to try, I'll let you know if it works.
Well Sompy was an abject failure
i guess the search continues.
same problem..
No solution, and both players together are inconsistent
tcpmp
tcpmp works flawlessly if you run it from the memory card for the record,still no subs
any news on this? I would like to play mkv files directly,too. I don't want to mess with conversion..
BTW, I couldn't get TCPMP work for MKV files. It just crashes..
We need to get the guys at videolan to create us a vlc windows mobile player. I always use this on a PC and have no problems with codecs etc seems to play anything.

Regardless of subtitles, if you're trying to play HD i.e. 720p files on the HD2, nothing will work.

Will it support the internal subtitles of matroska files? And will it also support ASS which is used most of the time?
I'll give the TCPMP with subtitle support another go with my HD2. On my Blackstone it wasn't usable because of lags...

That is simply untrue. I have a couple of movies on my HD2 that are 720p and play in core player just fine. There was infact an entire topic dedicated to seeing what video would work on the HD2, was months ago but I'll see if I can hunt it down.
That turned out to be a whole lot easier to find than I thought it would be, here, great thread to learn what your HD2 can do video-wise.

Sadly, you did not even bother to read through that thread. Coreplayer itself is hardcoded not to play 720p video files. What you have are only files that used to be 720p, but down encoded to fit HD2. Take a good look at the resolution of those test videos. None of them even go near 1280x720, which is what 720p is defined as.
Not to be putting you down, but I've done a ton of video testing and encoding....and it's just not possible for now on the HD2.

My mistake, I had read that thread through, but as I mentioned I was recalling it from memory and posted it as soon as I found it. I guess the frequent references to "hd" in the thread are what stuck in my memory.
Still 720x480 looks just stunning on the phone, so go download all the vids anyway

That sounds very contrary to your previous statement, I guess those 720p files suddenly disappeared from your phone?
No worries, it's a very common newbie mistake.
I don't know if I can really consider myself a "newbe" considering I'm a video editor and regularly have to pick and choose the resolutions I want to export to. As far as my HD video my knowledge is pretty extensive.
I think I was just too trusting of the movies I downloaded in "HD" actually being what they said they were. Your previous post was the first time I questioned it and looked at the movie stats.
I honestly believed the movies on my phone were 720p, I was wrong, atleast no-one died this time.

That's why it's never good to assume. It's a very good example where having more knowledge makes one overlook very basic stuff.
At least it makes you more open to checking the specs before shooting off replies again.....I'm glad I've contributed in some way.

Yo guys. i have installed both players on my leo. i like the tcpmp player the best because you can have ac3 plugin and subtitles. BUT its like it plays with a lower framerate than coreplayer? the fact is that movies exactly feels a bit too laggy so it gets annoying when watching on the tcpmp player. any know why or maybe got a solution?
regards alf
Same dilemma for me...
...
any got a solution to the laggy tcpmp?
Alfetch said:

there is no solution. coreplayer comes later and it's more optimized, but it doesn't have ac3 and subtitles support. Give and take....
just to add to the debate, this hd2 which I'm writing from, during a benchmark on tje opening of sex&the city, had 170+% speed in coreplayer, and 90-% in tcpmp...looks prety normal to me, asv previous poster sais, coreplayr developent went on, while tcpmp has stopped some years ago
a little OT question...what type of subs tcpmp read? because i tryed with tons of SRT but i dont understand how to let theme works
http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=155
That thread talks of AC3 support via a purchasable plugin, confirmed as being in development by one of the developers back in 2007. However, it constantly got put back by the look of it until in the end the thread was locked after a very good point regarding the lack of a Coreplayer demo by the last poster. Shame.

I think it's a problem related to the use of cpu. If you launch tcpmp just after a boot (before it scales down to about 400 Mhz) you'll see that it is faaaast (yesterday I used this method to watch a 960x400 divx AC3). It remain fast as long as you don't leave the phone to go to rest...
I usually use Coreplayer, this method when I have a movie with subtitle or AC3

You have to use the right version and use GDI (if I remember correctly) as video driver.
Srt are ok, with older versions you had to use smi files (you could use subtitle workshop to convert them)

thx a lot bro
today ,i have seen a great app in a forum www.hiapk.com app's name is rockplayer. i have received a beta vision. i test it in my nexusone and found it is so powerful than any mediaplayer in android.
1\it can play rmvb very good
2\it can play avi very good
have fun, all this own to the author!
sorry for remove the app. a gay said that I should seek the consent of the Author. I do not know of the Author so I think i should remove the app.
It actually plays avi files at a respectable rate! The quality is pretty bad though. In other words, I can play an MP4 file and it looks much worse than if I play it in a standard media player. At least it plays avi files though!
Wow, MUCH better than wuzhenhua player, works pretty flawlessly. Tested it with a .wmv, .mp4, and .avi on my evo. Also tried to make it run a mkv, there's video and sound but its a bit more choppy. Please keep us posted as this great app is developed, thanks op!
screenshots? and does it play mkv's
Forshao, don't you think that you should inform the software developer in advance before you post the TEST VERSION here?
mrono said:

Yeah, but choppy. I tried to play a 720p clip on my Dell Streak and it was barely 3 frames per second.
Plays avi files pretty great on my evo, a few audio syncing issues tho. Also tried a wmv file thats just below the res of the screen, averaged around 10fps.
works good on motorola milestone
Works pretty well on X10 (rmvb) ... XD
I tried a random scene release xvid file, played it fine w/o any sync issues in the first 5 min. Will froyo help with the framerate issues for mkv at all? Not really sure how the "speed boost" really comes in to play here.

hello is there any player can play 1080p video.
thanks
hi.. first of all, we do have a specialized Q&A forum, so please post your question here so it would be better assisted.
as a reference to your question, you won't get any joy in playing 1080p video on a WVGA screen (480widex800high). the picture just wouldn't fit (1080p hd is, you guessed it, 1080 high)..
but if you want to force it, there will be a lot of processing involved to scale the picture down to a resolution an HD2 could play... nicely. it's like forcing a BlueRay player to play HD movies on a Standard TV or playing Halo 3 on your grandma's bunny-ear kitchen TV (though it would play, it's just not worth it).
it would be pointless to develop an application to do such on a device that simply won't cut it anyway. well, except if you want to use a TV out function (to play the video on an HDTV - making your device an HD media box), which the HD2 doesn't have.
so to answer your question. No. none that i know of.. but you know what? try to post it on the forum link i gave you and you might get lucky..
good luck.

The joy would be not having to convert it before watching! I think it would be great. But I don't know of a player that can do it sadly.

Dear hd2 while playing even mp4 with tcpmp the video is not shown only audio , this is the case with high resoulation video. and i dont want to convert videos so i boot my hd2 in android gingerbread from sd card and play any video copied directly from pc with hd resoulation . the android Es Video Player is capable of playing such videos

it plays all the formats it claims to? wow.. you haven't had any issues with it at all?
It works really well, .mkv files play choppy, but any of the .mkv files I converted to mp4 play great. Divx rips play really well, they often look clearer on the small screen than on my monitor!
Been using it for weeks. Plays the most formats I've ever seen of any android player. Best part... Its free!!! Wish I could find a stand alone player for .swf format movies.
Now they want 10 bucks for it!!! Not worth it. But you can still use it. NAGWARE
ROCKPLAYER plays all avi files....
Its all I need )
doesnt work with hdmi out

It now is and is out of beta
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
beta version gave me a bad humming buzzing sound when it got quiet in all my .avi files hopefully they fixed it..
that's weird.. i haven't heard any humming sound, although avi audio and video lags. i don't know why.
oh and i tried an mp4 720p video on it, such lag... i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's an otherwise good player.
Yeah, I downloaded the new release today, they changed it to ad/support or pay if you don't want to see ads.
Videos I had encoded into mp4 that played pretty well before, and flawlessly through the phone's video player, now are laggy, especially when you skip through the video.
mkv's still lag, avi/divx still plays well.
I hope they fix all this soon.
I've been using it since it was leaked awhile back, love it.

I don't have any except for when seeking through the files or playing after pause. For a few short seconds audio is choppy or there is none. Also so far I can't get subs to work. Oh and I forgot about HD, well you can fahget about it. 720p vids of bleach, in mpg format, that also seem to have low bitrates since its only 300 plus mbs didn't work. That was with the beta though for the latter.
It only supports .srt UTF-8 subtitles currently.
The application definitely needs some polish. It can't play most HD files yet, and needs more support for other subtitle formats and audio types, but it's the most capable player on Android. One of the only ones that'll play divx files flawlessly.
I love it used the beta for ever but yes it is out of beta and on the market get it while you can
One thing I like about rockplayer that I haven't seen posted anywhere is that it plays flv's. I have ton of those(I had a love affair with youtubedownloader for a while!)
How do I associate it with video files to make it the default video player?
Should I be able to open a file on my LAN via the wireless network in ESTRong explorer and play it?
What is a decent media player for the G Tablet that will use hardware acceleration for video playback? I using a modded firmware with the standard Android 2.2 and Marketplace.

Did you update it? The one in the market normally will want to update to a version that works with our processor type. If yours did not I think you can download and install from the website. I have checked the hardware button and mine sticks when it did not used to with the old version.

I quite like mVideoPlayer. Works nicely for me.
Any recommendations on a player with good subtitle support? For both external subtitles (e.g., .ass, .srt, .ssa, etc) and embedded subtitles (e.g., mkv).
I have no idea which one has a good subtitles support, but i found Real player beta.
It is fast and capable of reproducing my mp4 videos when no other could.

If it plays does it play ok? If it does then why does it matter if it is hardware or software mode? MKV is hard to play as it is which is why I convert them. The players will get better, just need to give them some time.
ahhh more confusion...
so if i put a dvd into my computer and convert it to mp4 is this the best to play on a stock gtablet? will quality be fair -good -great?
heck the reason i purchased this thing was so i could watch movie and browse the net while on vacation! and it has become a crazy pain...thought it would be smoother than it is...tons of web pages wont open cuzz the are flash?? supported so i get crazy gobbledy gook on he page! maybe i should have jut bought a net book?
The Flash problem is easily solved. Go to the FAQ thread and follow the instructions to install the correct Flash plugin. It works fine.
As for video the best codec for quality seems to be .mp4 in my opinion. .avi files work well too.
