I want a videoplayer that supports many formats (xvid, divx, etc) and subtitles (sub, srt, etc)
If not very expensive it would be nice
Any recommendations?
Yea... CorePlayer supports most movie codecs and plays subs... Cant remember the cost but is is not free.
are you sure it plays with subtitles?
Not sure if this is the newest version. But there is a subtitle plugin for TCPMP .72RC1
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpsubssubtit/
A little problem - tcpmp of all versions (0.71, 0.72, 0.81) does not work on my TP.
Have you tried this build ?
TCPMP 72rc1 with last 0.60 subtitle plugin
http://rapidshare.com/files/162372018/TCPMP_TouchPro_working_sub_plg.rar.html
Only TCPMP support subtitles u gotta believe me coreplayer doesn’t support

works great!
On my HD I could play AVI files using Core Player, on the HD2 the same files play the audio but the viseo is:
1. In small screen very "liney" and doubled, 2 images side by side.
2. In full screen the screen is blank.
Any ideas?
maybe u have to set "directdraw" instead "qtv" in video settings
Actually, I do not understand why people want to keep on using Core Player.
The best movie player is already embedded in the HD2 itself in Photos/Videos album, because it has hardware acceleration.
CorePlayer is now a very old-fashioned software (2007) and the latest versions (1.35 and 1.36 are quite buggy).
Play your mp4 with the HTC video player and you will really see the difference.

yes true but to play divx or xvid files,coreplayer is still the best one,you dont need to convert it in mp4 and 1.36 is working just fine on my leo without bugs
where is the HTC video player located on the phone & will it play AVI files?
where are these setting changed?

i got coreplayer to work perfect only with these settings
in preferences-->select page--->video---> than select GDI and smooth zoom
any different setup would show pixelated image(video)
While we're talking about CorePlayer, can it show subs? If so how?
Have searched through every settings now but i can't find any settings for subs.
If not, is there a player that plays DivX Xvid's with subs in srt or sub format?
CorePlayer plays almoast everything i can think of, and are working fine on HD2 here to.. Is CorePlayer dead now or what?
i don't think coreplayer can play subs , but tcpmp can...however i didn't try it on my hd2 and don't know if it works
tcpmp works fine set to either gdi or rawframebuffer
not tried subs but they should work too
biggest benefit of tcpmp over coreplayer is the price

Tcpmp works, you can use srt (and I think smi) subtitles. You have to use GDI as video driver to see them.
Colors
Do you like the colors of coreplayer (or tcpmp) out of the box?
I had to change them to custom, raise the contrast a bit and lower the brightness.
I find HTC album images a bit too dark instead (but I can't change)

ummm......ain't wma files audio only files?
For those who might be desirous to buy CorePlayer 1.36 I strongly recommand to be patient.
Indeed CorePlayer 1.36 is a dying software. CoreCodec is currently finalizing a version 2.0.
It would be useless to waste €30 on v1.36 now and probably have to pay later for v2.0.

Dear Friends,
Is there a way to port touch player of samsung i
8000 ? Since it has smi subtitle support for divx... Thanks in advance...
Kind Regards !
I saw a TCPMP plugin for subtitles somewhere... you could always look for that.

Dear drewX2,
I am already using tcpmp and coreplayer but although i am happy with core player, tcpmp sucks at playing avi files with subtitles in gdi mode because of low frame rate. I am a guy watching avis with subtitles. Before HD2, i have i8000 Omnia2 and touch player was great both for performance and image quality. I am just looking for a chance try touch player on my HD2. I have found the cab and installed but because of certificate issues it didnt work. Hope someone will help us to port Touch Player of HD2. thanks in advance...
Here is the cab file: ( not working because of certificate )
Kind Regards

Well, don't use GDI mode, then.
Set the Video renderer to DirectDraw, then go into the DirectDraw settings page, set the overlay format to YUY2, untick the top two checkboxes and tick "use device stretching". See if that's an improvement on GDI.

Dear Shasarak,
But with DirectDraw mode, Tcpmp cant show subtitles as you know, so directdraw mode is useless for me. So there is only one chance remains for us; to port TouchPlayer to HD2. Thanks in advance.

SmartMovie has subtitle support. Google for it and enjoy
Hi,
Does anybody manage to get subtitles when using the hdmi-output ? The Video Google Player does not detect srt at all, and when I'm using another player (mobo, rock, mvideoplayer, etc...), the movie is displayed through hdmi-out but the subtitles stick to the TF screen ! Not really handy to watch a movie ;-) I would like to keep hardware acceleration (to play 720p movie) and get subtitle displayed through the hdmi-output without hard-burning the srt if possible.
Has anyone already tried to watch movies with subtitles through hdmi output ?
Thanks !
This is just a thought but have you tried embedding the subtitles into the video container (e.g. mkv)? You can use the application mkvmerge GUI to re-mux the video as an mkv and add the subtitle file resulting in one file which has video/audio/subtitles.
Free tool: MKVToolnix -- Cross-platform tools for Matroska
These mkv tools includes the mkvmerge GUI that I mentioned. My thinking is that if the subtitle file was part of the video container the Android players may play them in a way that gets around the issue you are having. This would be the most efficient method as no transcoding of you video would be required.
The method that would definitely work would be "hard coding" the subtitles onto the video frames. This does away with the need for a subtitle file but does require that the video is transcoded.
Handbrake documentation: See "Hard Burn"
Free tool: Handbrake Downloads
Good luck
Hi,
Thanks for the answer, I knew about hardburning ; see my question : "get subtitle displayed through the hdmi-output without hard-burning the srt if possible"... Moreover, it seems that mkv is not well recognised by stock video player (google video player), and I reencoded mkv to mp4, with a subtitle track, but the players I tried did not load mp4 subtitles (though it did with mkv, but mkv is really slow compared to mp4). Anyway, thanks for your suggestion ! I will dig a little bit, to see if I can build an mkv file with video in H264, subtitles, and hardware acceleration...
Haven't tried it myself as I haven't got hdmi out working yet but can you use splash top to remote to yr PC, play the video through PC app with subtitles, and output the remote session to tv? I believe I recall someone saying they do this using splash top HD (think you have to pay for that, poster said it was worth it).
For what it's worth I have the same issue with my iPad.
Thanks for the tip, but splashtop hd does not work on linux, and dont have/want windows machine at home.
Did you solve it ? I'm having the same issue :\
It sucks because english it's not my native language and one of the reasons why i bought this tablet was for use it as a media player on the tv ..
fixed by buying a popcorn hour... Tf is not ready for replacing a network media tank. Definitely.
It works for me with BSPlayer and using software decoding mode in preferences.
With MX Player free subtitles work ok. With BS Player and Dice Player subtitles are shown in the tablet but not in the tv, they worked before but not anymore since one of the last ota updates.. i dont know if they changed something related to overlay in the rom because it used to work for me some weeks ago.

Yeah that's the only way i could make it work. Does anyone know if there's any player that supports subtitles with hardware decoding ? (through hdmi output)

There isn't. For me, it seems that the hardware decoding prevents somehow to display subtitles through hdmi output.
software limitation?
i'm hoping that this is a software limitation that can be fixed someday.. anybody knows?
Good lord. Just install a custom firmware. For example revolver works for sure on the third android. I have not tried on ics though. Mx player allows 2+ subs btw. (i have suggested this feature btw also)

We are talking about Hardware accelerated video WITH subtitles over HDMI..
MxPlayer works in Software mode only..
As what I see
hardware acceleration does not render the soft subtitles together with the video
looks like there are "2 different layer" display video on your device screen with hardware acceleration
Playing on your device screen (SW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player, soft subtitles, SW rendered video - on device screen as a layer
hw layer= none
*you see everything on device screen, but video may stutter
Playing on your device screen (HW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player, and soft subtitles - on device screen as top layer
hw layer= the video - on device screen as 2nd layer
*you see everything on device screen, perfectly
Playing thru HDMI on HDTV or any display monitor (SW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player, soft subtitles and SW rendered video - on both device screen and HDTV/Monitor as a layer, you see everything but video stuttering cos lack of hardware acceleration
hw layer= none
*you see everything on both device screen and HDTV/Monitor, but video may stutter
Playing thru HDMI on HDTV or any display monitor (HW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player and soft subtitles - on device screen, you see only UI and soft subtitles.
hw layer=video only (hardware accelerated) - on HDTV/Monitor thru HDMI, you see only video, no soft subtitles, no video player UI
*you see only video on HDTV/Monitor, then videoplayer UI and soft subtitles on device screen.
it seems hardware acceleration disables UI to be displayed on HDTV/Monitor thru HDMI when a HW mode video playback is active.
I hope video player developers can find a way allow the soft subtitles to be display together with video on HDMI output someday
As for now, if you want to see soft subtitle on HDTV thru hdmi output, you have to re-encode the videos with subtitles (hard sub)
or
Watch It on SW mode, thats extremely lag and looks bad especially for HD videos
I got a ASUS TF300T and I'm having the same issue, not only with internal videos, but when I run netflix the subtitles just display on the Pad's screen and not on the HDTV. T_T
Some solution for this? I use bus player with software decoding and tit was the temporally solution....
But I need to know some solution to resolve with hardware decoding

Try MX Player and send reports back.
I dont have HDMI cable for my tablet At the moment so.
Try it.
MX Player is displaying with SW mode but laggy in HD videos.HW mode dont display any subs on HDMI output.I embed the subs into the video with VirtualDub,with a plugin inside, especially for HD videos, it plays well.
Hello all,
I have discovered a way to display subtitles on HDMI even when using HW-accelerated video from either MX Player or BS Player...
BTW, this option only works for Asus TF300T official JellyBean firmware...
Go to Settings --> Developer options --> Drawing --> enable "Disable HW Overlays" checkbox
This will force GPU to do all compositing work. Videos will now play wth subtitles on HDMI even if HW-accelerated. The downside is that the video is displayed on both the tablet as well as the HDMI port unlike before where the video is only displayed on the HDMI port and the UI remains with the tablet in HW-accelerated mode.
Hope this helps...
^_^
P.S.
This does not fix the issue of MX Player not being able to use HW-acceleration properly (choppy video or falls back to SW-decoding) for files that used to play fine pre-Jellybean OTA update. Just use BS Player for the meantime until MX Player gets fixed. I miss the nice ASS subtitles that MX Player renders though...
I've got a nvidia shield (not the tablet) and got MX Player working decently (there's a slight off-topic issue I'll describe further down), but my subtitles aren't working properly.
As far as I can tell the font and placements are correct, but the timing is off. Things are disappearing before they're supposed to, some subs aren't showing at all, and effects (like fading) just don't work. Is there anything I can try to fix these issues?
My other problem, which isn't subtitle related, is 10-bit playback. In the sticky, it says tegra devices can use HW, otherwise SW is required. I'm under the impression the shield is tegra, but MX Player asks me to install the ARMv7 NEON codec rather than a tegra one. Whenever I try HW playback, it's got loads of artefacts and just doesn't play properly. Is this a problem with the shield (such as it not being tegra) or should I try a different custom codec?
Cheers!
It's only HW+ that supports Tegra, not HW.
Subs aren't perfect, because libass isn't perfect; there isn't much that can be done until the dev implements whatever new subtitle renderer that he's got planned.
In the interim, try enabling or disabling hardware subtitle acceleration.
Maybe you should try converting subs to srt or ssa or other common format.
Its sub inside a mkv file? You can try ripping it, there is an app called "MKV sub ripper" or something like that in the Play Store.

Ah, my mistake. Should I bother with custom codecs for HW+ (and if so, which one) or is that irrelevant for HW+?
Just tried HW+, still looks pretty bad.
Subs don't seem different with or without hw acceleration, although from what I'm seeing most of the problems come from effects like fading.

If you have read through our 10bit thread carefully you might be aware that you should enable speed up tricks from Settings 》Decoder.
Regarding fade effect, If I am not wrong, MX Player doesn't support all subtitle effects. But, I am not sure about that.
Regarding other subtitle issue, Can you extract & upload the subtitle from mkv file (you canuse mkvextractGUI)? There may be a chances of overlap in timings or caching issue.

I read through the thread, but I thought speed up tricks was for the SW decoding? I was trying to use HW+ but it looks really, really bad.
I've attached the subs, the place I kept checking for an issue was at around 21:40. The "sakende" just vanishes early. Also tracking subtitles (there's an example around 7:30) don't work properly, but I'm guessing that's down to the same reason fades don't work.
I'm not sure if the Shield (or any other non-computer device) has enough power for 10bit 1080p yet. Also, I think I remember @bleu8888 saying there was something funny about Tegra HW+ support for the Shield. I don't quite remember the details, so I'll let him comment. Otherwise, you'll just have to stick with SW for now :/
Knowing UTW, it's probably some .ssa typesetting magic that libass can't handle. Most fansubs, especially for their typesetting, make their subs assuming you'll be using xy-vsfilter on your PC. MX Player uses ffmpeg, and therefore the libass library for subs. Sometimes, when typesetting is rendered incorrectly, ie it disappears too fast, it will also affect the main text and make that disappear too.
Needless to say, libass sucks compared to xy-vsfilter. It can't handle all the "magic" that xy-vs can.
If I were you, I'd consider doing a batch operation, and use Aegisub to hardsub the subs into the video. Otherwise there isn't much else that can be done until bleu finishes whatever new subtitle system he has in the works.

ASS is the 4th version of SSA or SubStation Alpha, it's an acronym for Advanced SubStation alpha. I doubt any player can play SSA but can't play ASS. converting them to srt will make them useless; because ass subtitles have styling and effects like font colour and size, fading and rotating...etc
You can burn the subtitles in the video to make them hard-subbed. Handbrake is easy to use and is perfect if the subtitles are in English (or probably any language that uses Latin alphabet), while mpv must be used with command lines but is perfect for non-Latin subtitles (like Arabic)

Unfortunately with Handbrake, if you try to burn in karaoke subs, it won't burn in the motion: ie it will burn in the each line of the kfx "half-way through", as if the karaoke is stuck half-flashed for each kfx line; try it with any subs with flashing kfx, and you'll see.
This is why I originally said Aegisub:
