RockPlayer - Finally a player that really plays DIVX on Android? - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

This blog reports that there is a new player floating around that can play DIVX and XVID on our devices, and it does it very well.
It is not clear who created it but i could not find it on the market.
Mods if this post is considered improper please close and delete.

It is under hard development and will be published soon. There is a small group beta testing, and a group for user experience sharing at groups.google.com.hk/group/rockplayer

Mod. edit: As stated this is a beta, the developer didn't consent it's distribution. Pls wait for the official release. Don't distribute it.

sry to bring up resurrect this thread, but... when they were announcing Galaxy S on CTIA, that phone's video player looks EXACTLY same as RockPlayer. Conclusion: RockPlayer is a video player ripped from Galaxy S? if that's true... the app is nothing but a video player port and it's not exactly "warez" as we labeled it.

not quite the same but close i guess. and how do you know they didn't steal it from him?

App works perfect.

lol, that we will never know... tho looking that the player is fully functional there and it's still in beta here, i'm leaning toward the samsung gang being the originals

No. RockPlayer have no relation with samsung's built-in player. It just imitated icons and this looks like a bad decision. So the next public beta will change them.

No need to change it, unless you're worrying about samsung going after you. I like that skin, clean and simple, looks nice tho I still have to see a need for that right-most icon by the controls. Previously it toggled onscreen debug info, but now its just taking up space.

omg, thanks for the heads up.. this thing works flawlessly.. love it

Honestly i wanted to say, despite if it came from the Galaxy...who cares as long that ***** work on the phone w/o a trial i absolutely love it and its very useful...

Once it his the market I'll be buying it.

plays great
i like my animes play fine, all my movies its great

I NEED this app!!!!

Love this app. Works great!

Its really cool and works very week but conflicts with my rom and makes the camera not work

hmmm, that would be weird, which makes me suspect that it's your ROM that breaks the camera, not rockplayer.

Camera worked fine before install then installed camera stopped working then uninstalled and voila camera worked I'm gonna try it again to double check then I will flash a new rom instead consider I really like this player just tested my rom conflicts with it well time for a new rom bummer

Fixed!

Any confirmation to any working divx, flv, mkv rm player?

Hi
I would like to know for your xperia x10, which android apps works and which doesn't?
I have only tried the xyflash trial, and it did not play divx nor h294 in mkv.
I don't want to convert every movie (as it take times). Hopefully something work on xperia will come soon. (i want confirmation before i buy the apps too).
try using blapk market (probably find it on the web only) the developer created it so people could try full version of certain apps without having the feeling of being robbed! but if it does what it claims it should, then out of respect, you should buy the full version from the developers!
ive tried a yxflash version from that market.. not sure if theres a more recent update to it now but it worked ok.. i gues! not sure if it'll be the same for everyone but from what ive tested, avi and divx files worked which is cool but unfortunately i noticed that around 10 minz (im guesin here) the video would freeze (just the clip not the app), yet the audio would continue as normal.
hope any of this helps!!
Well I can confirm that the latest available update for this program has fixed the issue of video freezing! Divx worked well and as 4 avi you can see it reacting slightly slow but some people may be able to live with it for time being until an update can address the issue.
Use YXflash. it work g8t.
I use yxflash, its not bad, i wish i could get the full version free though.
Yxflash still very slow on divx.
I tried many apps so far, i still have yet see a functional H.264 mkv one.
at the back of the phone it said quicktime enable, isn't h.264 apple's ? and mediascape as usual, useless.
Yxflash played divx quite smooth 4 me

How do you use the blapk market? i have installed it but i cannot see any apps...tried adding repos, wouldnt work? does this mean it has been shut down again?
Once you put repos you go to main screen then menu and hit update..
If that doesn't work you can visit the site at www.blackdroid.net, there forum is useful an all..
Hope it helps!

try to use Wuzhenhua Player v4.1, it has support for a wide range of audio and video formats incl flv & rm. it's in Chinese but few buttons are easy to understand
http://mobiputing.com/tag/wuzhenhua-player/
within link above there is a ref to a thread in xda, post 76 you'll find english ver
I checked it out since i am chinese myself, i even got the chinese market place apps. I can't find anything better. yxflash doesn't seem to work for some divx (anime one) and more anime fansub are in MKV/H264 these days.
Wuzhen does play some divx yxflash doesn't play and vice versa. I guess i will just read manga on the subway.
I use RockPlayer, which works a treat... I don't have a heap of movies, so I don't know exactly what it plays, but it sure plays more than the inbuilt media players... and it does it better - no lags, etc...
RockPlayer, search no further, app is amazing, YX Player is a joke compared to this one.
it doesn't seem to work as well as it thought to be, it does move and all but i see big lags.
I think it have to do with the size of the anime i am trying to watch.

Couldn't have said it better myself!! lol
whatz the size of this file? and are you talkin bout these issues on rockplayer, not yxflash?
Cause I have rockplayer and i've used a 1Gb file and framerate was running near 25 frames/sec and had no lag whatsoever!
There's someone who's played a movie (1080i) at 30f/sec without lag..
Maybe something on ya phone is blocking its true potential?

Another vote for Rock player.
I seem to have problems with Rock Player if I use my MW600.. But only when I'm playing divx/xvid.
I hear a crackling sound. If I turn off my headset, the problem is gone.
Am I the only one with this problem? Should I start using Wuzhenhua ?
I use Rockplayer, it is by far the best one out there, no lag on my XviD collection

This beta only work till July 15th, but I hope they will release another one before that.
yxflash is good ..

[APP] Real player beta in now market

the real player handles video, music and photos...
I think it works very good for videos. the music player is too much like the default player and the photo browser pulls from a random folder rather than viewing all your picture folders.
anyways it is worth trying out
nooo, not real player on android!
Hope its not like the PC version at all.

lol i was thinking the same thing. All my real player did was freeze all the time on my PC
This response is to reinforce my distaste for RealPlayer, their business model, their apps, and their lack of openess since their earliest inception. I can only hope that Android people do not show any interest in RealPlayer and allow it to die through lack of support/interest by the community.
UI sucks, file management sucks, options(lack of) suck....this needs serious work. I have no idea why they would label this beta. It might be 'working', but I wouldn't want my name on it, that's for sure.
I dislike real too (have for at-least a decade), however since they have embraced android and took the time to create an app, I'm willing to give them a chance to redeem themselves.

Playon

Just wanted to let everyone knows that playon works great on honeycomb, even though it's not officially supported yet on it, I bought the premium license cause I had the basic one and to my surprise, everything streams and works great, hulu, Netflix and so much more, local wifi and remote wifi too.
I hope they will update it soon to support honeycomb with higher definition and better bitrate. But for now I love it, plus there is a plugin like tv show stream that pulls all shows and stream them.
What is the app for? Any link?
Edit: got it! Cool stuff, I'll give it a try!
I have a play on subscription and i can view all the titles but when i click to view video, it says failed to load
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I use PlayOn and even though the video quality is so-so and the videos take awhile to buffer it does work for me.
just got an email from Fred at playon support and honeycomb support with better quality is coming soon
PlayOn will currently work for Honeycomb, but we are working on changes that will improve the quality. As Honeycomb hasn't been out that long, we have had to adapt, and this should be out in the public soon.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for using PlayOn!
Take care,
Fred

I paid for the premium support too. I sure appreciate how good their tech support it. They usually respond very quickly.
I paid for a one month sub to try it out but I found that I like Plex more. Just a personal preference. It would be awesome if PlayOn & Plex could be combined.
i think that once flash gets better and smoother on android, the picture quality will be better from playon cause it uses flash, i have it on my ipad2 and it runs smoothly and great image quality, also on remote wifi too, which plex couldnt on my pc
Play on app on Galaxy 10.1
I can't seem to get the playing app to play any videos....sees my channels but when i press it it just doesn't connect. The funny thing is that if i run it Thur the web browser it plays...I thing the app does not see my flash player.

Try doubletapping tthe screen. It works for me in full screen, but not when it's smaller (on TF, not Galaxy).
It works...
Thanks...I did that by chance and was glad to see it did work....Can't wait for Honeycomb Version.....Would be nice if it had a better looking Graphical Interface.

Music app?

What is the best music app available? I'm stuck on what I should get.

Try Using Poweramp, its available on the android market, its the best one ive ever used, it plays nearly all file formats and even has an option to search for missing album artwork and editing id tags
I took a look at Poweramp, and promptly uninstalled it. Someone had recommended it to me (based on an earlier version), but the new version's UI is just so unbelievably messy it's not worth trying to navigate it at all.
I personally use Real Player. Gets the job done. I'm looking forward to when VLC player is finally available though.

PowerAmp's new UI takes getting used to, once you're used to it, it's pretty much the best player out there. Downloads missing artwork, VERY advanced equalizer, I think it supports Wide Stereo too, but the X Stereo function is the bomb!
Poweramp and PlayerPro are the most feature-rich options. I use Poweramp and I like it, particularly the music lyrics plugin, but its UI needs a serious overhaul. It's made more for a pimped ride's in-car Android user interface than for a phone. So much glitter, neon and pizzazz makes people want to puke and I can relate with it... however, it works nicely, it's got a powerful EQ and it works very well with BT headphones. A pleasure to use, horrible to look at.
I use the miui music apparently. Its nice. At least I like it and its my favorite music apparently.

Have started using Realplayer and the fact that you can change song from the lockscreen is a major biggie! (To me anyway) I think it's also got a nice UI to look at too.

Hmmm if you want also to watch youtube you need profeasional version but for me it is enough without youtube. I was amazed that it can show full hd video without laggs even if i surf the net and etc. Tried also stickup but didnt like it, laggy, not free
Agreed, the app is just fine as it is. It works super smooth on Note as well as my Asus transformer tablet. Might buy the app if price is reasonable to support the developer, very professional quality app.
Thanks man, downloading now to give it a try.

tried big bunny sample 1080p http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/ and no laggs, smooth, amazing app
nice app. thanks for the heads up
question: just tried this with big bunny 1080p and am unable to change audio channel. the default on that file seems to be no audio. had the same issue when playing it with mxplayer, had to select audio channel manually but i cant find out to do that in this app?

hmmm, seems that we need to wait for more available formats, as i can see this app not so long time ago apeared, so we need to wait
but i have tried .avi and for me it works. Maybe try to install mx video player and it will install codecs in your phone or you have custom rom, because im using lpy stock
ive had a good play with the free version and there are a couple of minor issues.
cant select multiple audio tracks 720p/1080p mkv
with subtitle checked still doesnt show subs 1080p mkv
crashes too
but apart from that this app is fecking awesome. i think it has single handedly restored my faith in android. i was browsing imdb while watching hd tv shows with no lag what so ever
