I am switching from an iphone and want to know if there is a quicktime player for android. Of a hack to get them to play.
I'm an all mac guy and pro photographer. I publish quick little slideshows to my mobileme account to share with clients but i can't view them on my Samsung captivate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this phone so much better than my iphone4.

Have you tried Rockplayer? It's available on market. Another alternative is Vplayer, also available on market. But my choice, although not yet released, would be Coreplayer.

Best sport score app for android
Could someone advise me what is the best sport score apps for scores and news.
ESPN score center, Score Mobile, live Scores or something else
I would like to have scores for NFL, NBA,Tennis, Football/Soccer, Hockey and Cricket
Oh awesome! VPlayer DOES play Quicktime now. I'm not sure if it didn't before, but for some reason I thought it didn't - I couldn't find ANY player that played Quicktime previously (when I first came accross this thread).
Anyway, I'm now happily able to watch the Quicktime videos for my Japanese course on my phone. Finally. Yay.
Rock player isn't bad but that V Player is the worst on the market it wouldn't play ANY video i had on my phone (a combination of MP4 and 3GP) my personal favourite by far is Mobo Player and it's free, defo the best on the market IMO.

For football i usually use the BBC football app and Soccer scores,also livescore (via a browser)
The best video player for Android is the MX Video Player, it plays flv avi,etc. and it's free.
Sorry to bump, but how can one stream a Quicktime H264 file like http://trailers.apple.com/movies/magnolia_pictures/2daysinny/2daysinny-tlr1_h640w.mov ?
None of the mentioned players plays it.

Hi, I have been a winmo user, now I am thinking of getting a x10 (it comes with android 1.6) from rogers next week. I often watch familyguy at work from my phone (I own x1 and pls dont tell my boss ). I was wondering that if I buy a x10 will it be able play divx videos? Is it only samsung phones which can play videos? Do I have to buy the player?
Sorry if all Android phones can play divx and this sounds like a stupid question. All my friends either have Iphone or blackberry, so there was no way to know. I kind of saw somewhere that samsung phone has official divx codex or something like that, that is why I wanted to be sure before buying.
currently only samsung phones can play divx. its a feature samsung programs imto their android version. if you want general android to play divz then check divx.com for updates. also you can check out third party video players but afaik no divx android players exist.

do a search for Wuzhenhua it's not perfect but it's free.
im really suprised no one has created a decent media player for android yet

huh....... there is no divx player for Android
Well I will try yxflash then.
No there is no current "good" divx player, i tried yxflash it was jittery, and i tried Wuzhenhua with the same result as yxflash.
This was a major disappointment for me too (i just bought a Nexus one) and had been using Windows mobile to play my divx videos for a few years.
Im waiting on Coreplayer for android.

Doesn't look like it will be any time soon though.
So you probably will have to convert your videos that you want to watch to .mp4's until coreplayer or a better divx player comes out.

Unless they're writing the player and codec in C, it's ALWAYS going to be jittery. A java codec just isn't fast enough.
"yxflash" works great on my Acer Liquid S100.
It play everything: .AVI .DIVX . in the best quali.
I read a few weeks ago, probably on xda, that someone had just compiled xvid via the NDK. Of course a player still needs to be written/modified to make use of it, but at least this shows there's some hope.
I think someone told me of one that you have to pay for a few weeks ago, but wondering if there is some free apps now. For the pc there is a bunch like VLC, Gom and KM player that play every video format. It would be nice to be able to take advantage of the hdmi output.

I didn't see it on the vlc website. Do you know where to find it? I did a search, but nothing came up. It did mention the ability to play files from your computer remotely, but that is streaming so it wouldn't be HD or great quality I imagine.

Same... there was one talked about for WM also, but never seen. Please share.
VLC hasn't been ported for Android yet.
That said, the guys that are releasing a PSX emulator and working on an Android N64 emulator, are supposedly going to working on porting VLC in their spare time. http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/playstation-emulator-coming-to-android-courtesy-of-yongzh-and-z/
Look for yxplayer on market... plays mkvs.

I just installed yxplayer and it won't play a 1.4gb mkv file well at all. It is just a picture every few screens. Maybe the phone can't handle the file size, but my friend has an mkv player he got from china and it is bad a$$. It plays all file types and has mini hdmi out and I doubt it has a processor and ram as much as the evo. It's been out a lil while I'm sure. It has it's own screen but will output to an hd tv and looks just like you were playing a blue ray.
Probably thats the case... my mkvs were 640x480 anime shows. Havent tried anything hi-def...
On a side note, yxplayer is available as a trial only (2 min play time limit, tho some vids played for more and some reqlly did cut off after 2min), and if you wanna buy/pirate it - you won't be able to. The app for some dumb reason uses phone's imei for registration, which is gsm-only =O

Ok, so I'll wait for vlc, or another player to come out. Although I really won't need to play many movies on my phone. I will use my laptop if anything.
Dont forget about CorePlayer... they're working on a version for android as well. CorePlayer for winmo played mkv and nearly everything else I threw at it (performance on the other hand was a totally different subject, lol)
Any idea of a release date for Coreplayer? I've been converting my files for the longest time now but sometimes I don't get a chance to in the case of downloading a football match.
Its been in development for year(s) now, waiting for better NDK on android... Froyo seems to be exactly what they were missing so we should be seeing the app in few months, i hope...
Hello. Can anyone recommend a video player that will play mms:// video streams other than yxplayer? yxplayer just locks up on my stream. I am trying to hit a surveillance stream that I have going at my house. The only way I can currently pick up audio is off of my mms:// stream. I'm on wifi when I'm trying to view it, but yxplayer will not play it for anything.
Hi,
I am using xperia x10. But not able to play all video formats on it. Pls help me by providing which player to be downloaded??????
I use Vplayer Alpha for most videos that the default player won't play.
No one has any other option for mms:// video streams other than yxplayer?

Real Player for Android supposedly can do it, I am getting the info from a CSR now.
http://real.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7927
I see no option in real player to load a stream. Also myplayer...I can't find it in the android market place. It just says not found.

Well, after following this link (couldn't find it in the android market), searching and downloading myplayer's apk from another location, and side loading it.... it is not what I am looking for. It only streams from some BBC feeds and other live TV stations.
What I need is a program that will let me play live streamed mms:// asf video streams and actually let me select the url for the stream. yxplayer lets me start it, but then it just totally locks up If yxplayer actually worked I would buy that, but I am not having any luck getting it to work with my stream. It's a valid address and the stream works on Windows PCs. I've seen other requests out there too for something that does this, but I haven't found anything that actually works.
hi,
can you find any solution for your problem
I search everywhere I can, but not able to find a real solution
yx player is not stable i guess
Nope. I still have not found anything out there that works to stream mms:// streams. It is amazing to me that there is nothing out there that does this. I was hoping Vplayer beta would do it as they just put out an update with the ability to open a URL, but nope. I am still waiting and looking. If anybody figures out a way to do this let me know. None of the above suggestions work.
Hallo I have an IP camera that does not stream mjpeg but streams only .asf video. the camera is a Linksys WVC54GC.
I've tried about 10 players but the only one that let me stream the video from everywhere (means both from lan and from internet: i.e. 192.168.1.115/img/video.asf and my-ddns:115/img/video.asf[/url])
is VPlayer.
hope it helps...i've fighted a lot before find it...
the only one 'compromise' that I had to do is to make a free access to the camera (no username / no password) because the player is unable to manage usr/pwd access...I hope they will add this feature in next updates...
Hi,
Have you found something what can able play mms streaming ?
Hi, as I wrote before, the only one i've found Is Vplayer...
Have you tried it?
They give one day of free full use, then you have to buy it.

Daroom player ..try it
You can try Wondershare Player it works fine on my Samsung Galxay 5 (Europa) with Cyanogen 7 ROM..

I've paid for and used both rockplayer and vplayer. But rockplayer sucked on the droid x after version 1.2 and vplayer hiccups a little too often. Lately I've been using vitalpayer and soulplayer. Both are available for free from the market and actually seem better than both the paid rockplayer and vplayer.
Then I came across this new video player yesterday and I have to say, it's the best player I've tried. The UI is very slick and user-friendly, especially the file manager aspect. It also plays every file I've thrown at it (but haven't tried mkv's yet) and has both hardware and software decode mode. (Just remember to long press on video file to select software decode mode).
It's still in beta testing and says its limited to a certain number of testers but I was able to sign up directly from the app without issue. You have to provide an email address for testing purposes (I'm assuming) so if you're not comfortable with providing its, this app is not for you. But for me, it was a no brainer.
Awesome app.

Should work on all high-end ARM V7 CPU Android devices
Would give credit but don't know who to give credit too. Will update when I do. Enjoy!
So, good chance this will become a paid app eventually?

Probably. But like I said, I've paid for several other players so, if it's as good as it been, I'll probably pay for this one as well.
THanks!

i really liked this app.. high power rendering.. can render a mkv file of 180 mb and not too bad fps too for the same.. but the audio video sync is little buggy.. i think it needs to be fixed... else its a wonderful and the best app available as a multi format video player!!
Very nice player, best I'd ever tested. But I don't like the License violation of ffmpeg. :/
For you Reference, It supports low end devices as well,
http://www.moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html#download
It requires registration(closed beta). I tried it. It does not play wmv files and even HD flv file ( where vitalplayer plays it nicely )
But UI is appealing !
Wao..! This is much nicer than vPlayer.. in terms of UI. Like the vol and brightness control on the right and left side.. making tweaking them a breeze!
I was reluctant to try moboplayer because it requires registration. But rockplayer was made much worse since version 1.2, after part of the original team left for moboplayer. vplayer is now free for Chinese users but it has a lot of decoding problems and random crashes. UM Player (悠米解霸) is barely usable at all.
In my case, moboplayer has by far the best video decoding (smoothness and artifects) for universal players I ever used/tried, and the best file management (though still minimal):
moboplayer >> rockplayer (below 1.2) > rockplayer (1.2 and above) > vplayer >> umplayer
My only problem with moboplayer now is the forced update. I understand the reasons behind but it just don't feel good being forced. I'd rather pay a few bucks for peace.
for me mVideoplayer is still best
AlsonBC : its stupid and wrong to say : render mkv
I have never needed another video player. I download music videos mostly in mp4 format and they play fine on the stock video player on SGS running froyo. Is there any SGS user here? Recommending another video player?
For others, is the stock video player not good enough?
i got the sgs vibrant and there are still some videos i can't play with some players...this one comes close but one video i play can't hear the audio...is a mkv format..
gotta say really like this player - does the job nicely
resuming, subtitle support, HD support (on the Galaxy S), MKV
excellent
Thanks!
I still use rockplayer(beta). Can anyone say this moboplayer is better?
Rockplayer(beta) does good for me except for +2GB wmv files, where I lose any ability to FF or REW.

Anyone tried a 720/1080p mkv movie with it yet?
Also, is there any list on compatible formats?
This is really good. Most video players I've tried have problems on my 2.2 nook color. However this plays perfectly. Thanks!
Nice work, Thank you
yeah, i know another which is the best question. nevertheless would like some suggestions on a good video player for the bolt. running BURNTH3ORYX V1.5. other than that i really have no idea what is important
thanks
mark
QQplayer works nice if I remember correctly or seaman player.
I'm running the same with Vplayer and have had no issues...
Thanks for the help.
Since I bought the bolt, BAMF 186 is the only rom which i have run. Until now. BURNTH3ORYX is pretty minimalistic and I'm not seeing that a video player is baked in to it. I may be wrong. If there is a player, I haven't found it yet, thus my request for recommendations.
Sent from my BURNTH3ORYX using XDA Premium App
I run realplayer and love it overall, Moboplayer is good as well.
My favorite is Act 1 video player from the Market
I use mobo player for pretty much everything. It just works.
I have tried them all.
The absolute BEST is " Seaman Player ". Hands Down.
The QQ comes in a close 2nd.
