Best free FLV video player for my Cappy? - Captivate General

Title pretty much says it all, I'm running the stock 2.1 AT&T rom.

Bueller....Bueller....

The captivate plays FLVs out of the box. If you are referring to online flash videos there are no apps that will add that functionality. The Skyfire browser offers access to some online flash videos, but I never had any luck getting that to work.
If you have an FLV on your phone it should play with no problem. My phone has trouble with some DIVX encoded videos but it has never failed to play a flash video.
Online Flash videos will not work unless you have 2.2

VPlayer works pretty well.

YouTube player

I know there is a flash player coming up to G1, however, is there anyway to watch any video online on any website and reroute it through our youtube player application so we can watch the videos online?
afaik no there isnt but i will look into it. good idea though...

flv player

does anyone know of an app that can play .flv format videos?
Yxflash video player. But its not the best quality. When adobe air gets released there will be some good ones.
Is this still needed in Froyo with the built in flash? Or is Froyo flash only in the browser?
Flash is a browser addon.

Does the G-Tab have a stock video player?

or do the custom roms?
Something that's capable of playing divx avi files without having to his rock player or whatever.
Yes stock has one (IIRC). IF your using the add-on package for stock, or the custom rom's that will include Gallery which has a video player.
Also it plays AVI, I am not 100% sure on Divx as I don't have to many of those files, I think it would/does play though.
Stock is good but I use a lot of vlc. There are a bunch of free vlc players on the market.
Ive found Vitalplayer to be the best, aint had a problem playing videos on the gtab since i started using it.

[Q] Best video player for Transformer

Hi,
I've been using trial version of Dice Player and I'm almost ready to purchase the full version. However, I just noticed 3 other players that might worth considering:
- MX Player
- PowerDVD Mobile
- VLC (free)
- Seaman Player
I'd like to take comments from people who are using these. Which one should I go for ?
I personally use Dice Player. Plays everything smoothly.
MX Player: good alternative for free, but doesn't play some 720p MKVs with crisp frames.
VLC: Very early stage, not daily-use.
Rest... I haven't tried them.

I can't make up my mind what I like best, Dice Player or MX Video Player so I paid for both apps. The developers of each seem to be going head to head on what they can and cannot do. Both do HW playback which is what I like most about them. You wont be disappointed with Dice Player the least bit. They both seem to be the two best video players to date for Android.
thanks for your comments.
is there any experience with PowerDVD ?
that's a nice app on Windows. So why not the Android version...

Well for one thing, PowerDVD Mobile is $20 and Dice Player and MX player are just over $5 and can play just about every video file type. So you weigh the odds. With Tegra 2 video is barely starting to break free of it's constraints so I wouldn't want to pay out the nose for a video player that might or might not play back my videos. IDK, that's just how I feel about it.
If you do wind up getting PowerDVD let us know how well it plays HW and SW video playback with multiple file types. I was reading and I didn't find if it will play .mkv files or not.
Personally, I would normally talk up Diceplayer, but after the last couple of updates, we've taken about 5 steps backwards. Whatever happened, it's gotten worse than it was before. I'm not sure what that's due to, but 720P videos no longer play as smoothly as they once did. Videos that used to play fine are now choppy and have bad audio. And these are the same videos, the only change is what version the player is running. I'd actually go back a few versions if I had made a backup of some kind.
Either way, I don't generally recommend Diceplayer anymore. I used to talk it up and down because it WAS a very good player, but things have certainly changed alot apparently.

Yep very true. I have had the exact same findings. I've been talking to the developer and just sent him a 720p mkv today that used to work and now doesn't. He's testing it on his transformer to see if he can find the issue.
Power DVD is too expensive. Mobo is so far the best
Hopefully DICE player can fix it's recent bugs (he has been issuing updates like crazy anyway).
MX has mich better gui, but dice player still has much better playback. There is noticeable difference in frame drops between the two (dice being much, much better, even though both use hardware decoding).
i use vplayer and it does all videos and even allows streaming
Dice Player with tegra addon . Nothing to me is smoother.

For me, dice player has the smoothest playback, too.
Hi,
I've tried PowerDVD mobile.
It has a very elegant GUI and nice features.
It serves music and photos in addition to videos and it also includes a DLNA player.
However, videos are not as smooth as MX Player or Dice Player.
Probably it does not support as much codecs.
bs player
i just found BS player for android its in beta right now but it works great
I wish I could get DICE player to work. Everytime I open it, it says "Sorry, this video cannot be played." I haven't even picked a video yet!
Having endless issues trying to play 720p mkv videos I have dice player, mobo player, and mx video player. When the video is smooth i get no sound and when sound works the video gets choppy during action/ fast scenes... any advice?

I can't seem to get HW decoding to work with MX player. Is anyone using any custom kernels .. overclocking?
MX Video for me
i started with Mobo since the stock player only reads internal files. but i wanted full screen with no icons on the bottom. i tried dice trial and liked it so i bought the full version than i saw mx video and bought it too. i like both, but dice player on lets me choose (ie: /Removable/MicroSD don't even try microsd).
whereas mx video lets me add several locations that i can browse too and i get full screen. i haven't had any problems with any video incls so far.
i just wish i could connect a protable dvd player.
i also like the easy way it handles subtitles and .vob

[Q] online HD video playback problem on the HOX

I have noticed that everytime I play hd videos online, the video player controls won't go away and just keeps on going on and off. I do have other video players other than the stock one, and I have no problem playing videos using the youtube app, or the stock browser. Playing videos offline is also not an issue, as this problem only occurs when I use other browsers like dolphin, and skyfire. Just to be clear, I am talking about just about any hd, or hq videos online from any site. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a way for me to play said videos using another player? thanks.
P.S I am running on stock ROM.
If the videos are on either PutLocker or Nowvideo, you can use this. It plays the file in your favorite video player.
