Hi there Basically I need a streaming video player for Android that supports lots of video formats. The functionality I need is to be able to add URLs of streaming media files to the app to be played. I know video playback is a problematic topic for Android users - it was much simpler on WM via TCPMP. So until CorePlayer for Android is out what are the alternatives for playing streaming video on Android phones?

Does anyone know of a media player to handle this...at present when I am streaming some TV channels which use this codec, I just get sound.
Moved as not software release.
I have a dreambox and it have iptv it runs with vlc and is in a video .m3u. I want to playback that on my htc desire. Is it possable?
m3u is an MP3 audio playlist. That's not going to be very useful for video.
vlc should be able to serve videos over rtsp, and all Android phones are able to play rtsp. You just need to make sure they're encoded as H.263 or H.264.
I'm looking for a player for Android which handles an mms:// audio stream. Which one must I have? All players I tried you can't add stream url's or it's only mp3 etc. and not windows media player streams. I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.
Hello, i am looking for a 3gp video player to embed to my website (runs on ZendFramework). I want to load 3gp videos from my HTC and watch it using my website. Are there any players that i can embed for such case?
The 3gp video format is mostly a subset of MPEG4/DIVx, so any player supporting that should be usable.
This gives the following obvious choices:
1. Just provide the 3gp file with the right mime-type and hope the viewer has a player for that (phone browsers usually do, for PCs it depends on which media players are installed)
2. Wrap it in Adobe Flash, so it becomes a flash movie playable on most desktops but few mobiles.
3. Run a program to convert/transcode to various related video formats (such as .mp4, .divx, MPEG4 in WMV wrapper, MPEG4 in AVI wrapper etc.) then code some tricky HTML/JavaScript to pick the format the viewer understands (for instance those with Windows Media Player and some codec plugins may be able to view some formats, those with the VideoLan player can view others, phone users yet others etc.)
If you search around (outside xda-developers), you should find various people offering complete or almost-complete scripts.
4. Upload to a 3rd party video site such as YouTube and let them handle the conversion/plugin issue. But then you loose control over your video.
I am using the newest 3.2 tiamat ROM and the native video player now appears able to easily play high profile 720p matroska contained h.264 video, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle the AC3 audio contained inside of it. Has anyone been able to inject something into the android OS to allow the stock video player to handle AC3?
I know I can convert, use a streamer, suffer with choppy video and get the audio with rock player, vplayer, qqplayer, etc, but I want to play it natively, as all the other options suck.
seems that the video player can *almost* handle 1080p high profile as well... so close.
