The mVideoplayer is my favorite one, but the MoboPlayer would be the one that plays the most files.
Video Formats
What format and settings are you using for the videos? I've used a couple of players so far, and both mobo and mvideoplayer have done well for me so far, but specific video formatting can be sketchy. I've found that its best to remaster any vids I grab to a universal format that does a reasonable job of compression vs quality. I don't recall the settings I've been using off the top, but I can check once I get home from work and let you know what works best for me.
Moboplayer!
stock is best
i think the stock player is best ... but it would be nice if someone would compile VLC to work on android... just a thought.
I use Vplayer and it plays everything i need to, trial is free and says it only will work for 30 days or something like that but i have used it past that with no problems
is there anything that will play ISO though?
I personally use vplayer has best quality and haven't found a video yet it hasn't been able to play...

The film and the subs are with the same name? Like Avatar.rmvb / Avatar.srt and in the same folder?

it plays all the formats it claims to? wow.. you haven't had any issues with it at all?
It works really well, .mkv files play choppy, but any of the .mkv files I converted to mp4 play great. Divx rips play really well, they often look clearer on the small screen than on my monitor!
Been using it for weeks. Plays the most formats I've ever seen of any android player. Best part... Its free!!! Wish I could find a stand alone player for .swf format movies.
Now they want 10 bucks for it!!! Not worth it. But you can still use it. NAGWARE
ROCKPLAYER plays all avi files....
Its all I need )
doesnt work with hdmi out
If its not in the market I won't buy it.
never tried it yet, might in a bit though...

It now is and is out of beta
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
beta version gave me a bad humming buzzing sound when it got quiet in all my .avi files hopefully they fixed it..
that's weird.. i haven't heard any humming sound, although avi audio and video lags. i don't know why.
oh and i tried an mp4 720p video on it, such lag... i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's an otherwise good player.
Yeah, I downloaded the new release today, they changed it to ad/support or pay if you don't want to see ads.
Videos I had encoded into mp4 that played pretty well before, and flawlessly through the phone's video player, now are laggy, especially when you skip through the video.
mkv's still lag, avi/divx still plays well.
I hope they fix all this soon.
I've been using it since it was leaked awhile back, love it.

I don't have any except for when seeking through the files or playing after pause. For a few short seconds audio is choppy or there is none. Also so far I can't get subs to work. Oh and I forgot about HD, well you can fahget about it. 720p vids of bleach, in mpg format, that also seem to have low bitrates since its only 300 plus mbs didn't work. That was with the beta though for the latter.
It only supports .srt UTF-8 subtitles currently.
The application definitely needs some polish. It can't play most HD files yet, and needs more support for other subtitle formats and audio types, but it's the most capable player on Android. One of the only ones that'll play divx files flawlessly.
I love it used the beta for ever but yes it is out of beta and on the market get it while you can
One thing I like about rockplayer that I haven't seen posted anywhere is that it plays flv's. I have ton of those(I had a love affair with youtubedownloader for a while!)
How do I associate it with video files to make it the default video player?
Should I be able to open a file on my LAN via the wireless network in ESTRong explorer and play it?
Hi All
I have searched and downloaded numerous players but all seem to have a flaw or don't work as expected. Can someone please point me in the direction of a good all round player, or a good convertor
Thanks in advance.
I am using the Hero with 2.1
Have you tried meridian player?
As for converter I recommend Super by eRightsoft.

Hi All
Thanks for all your help
After trying various players and converters I have finally found a solution that plays back smoother than a cashmere codpiece
I actually used the HTC player that is pre-installed but converted the movies with the Realplayer converter. It actually lists a few HTC phones and converts to .wmv and plays like a dream.
The only problem I have come accross is it will not show the title of the film just a snapshot, but at least the movie plays in top quality.
Rockplayer used to be my favorite, but it doesn't use your phones GPU to play higher quality movies. So if you want a video player that can play mkv files and divx WITH subtitle support that also remembers the position of every movie you play...
GET mvideoplayer
...assuming your phone has a decent GPU. I doubt it would be good for snapdragon phones... but it's better than the default Galaxy S movie player

I can't find ArcMedia player. Seems like it is gone from the marketplace. Too bad... it looked like a winner.
Act 1 is very refined with lots of options. It will only do h264/mp4, but it does them really, really well.

I checked out developer's website for rockplayer specifications and came to realise that it actually supports .srt subtitles if u only put them in same folder as movie.
Hey guys
I could swear I had this solved, but most recently its come to my attention
that whatever I may have thought, I actually don't have a reliable way of playing back 720p mkvs on my phone without streaming/transcoding/converting.
Plex has come a long way and works excellently, but I really want to do native playback. Has anyone done a thorough survey of players? If not I will try to do one and write back with my results.
EDIT: I should say that, I actually want to play 720p mkv's off a network share. But let's say the first goal is native 720p mkv playback, and the second goal is to do it over a share.
Have you tried MX video player from the market? It had played every video file i have thrown at it.

I don't know what the res of the video was but I know is was a HQ mkv and MX played it perfectly. I've also thrown .VOB's at it. I think I will go home and toss a .ts at it just to see what it will do.
What is the best solution to play MKV's that are larger than 4gb on the G2x? Most of mine are and the 4gb fat32 file size limit on the SD card get's in the way. Can android read an NTFS formatted card? Or can someone recommend a free Windows utility to downsize an MKV to less than 4gb? Thanks.
Hey guys, As the topic says I've been looking for a .mkv player which runs the videos smooth and perfect on our GFit!...I've tried using MX VIDEO PLAYER & QQ PLAYER but the quality was not good and the video lags!...Can anyone provide a better option?Actually its a 349 MB File of Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part-I, and I love all the movies of the Twilight sequel! ...So any help would be appreciated!
Mkv...
Even I wanna know...want to watch "The Dirty Picture" :O

Hi, i too have been confronted to these .mkv files. Been told that they would be normal video format files but embedded with subtitles. Annyway, use VLC Media Player if on pc, and MX Player for Android. I loaded the standard "mx player" on Google Play. Should you face any issues, look up for the available codecs (aimed for diff. specific processors architecture) and take the one for your device. Got an ARMv7 and i didnt have to load the codecs up to now. Hope this help and didnt annoyed, kinda noticed the lenght of my thread just now...

I have few MKV video files in my GS3. On stock video player, i can see the thumbnail of that mkv files, but when i played the file, it keep telling me that it can't play the files.
is there anyway to play MKV video files in stock video player?
I highly doubt you will be able to play MKV files on the stock player. But don't take my word for it. Try googling it and do let us know what you find. In the mean time, I could recommend a good free video player I found on the market which works fine for me - MoboPlayer. It's highly rated in the app market and has been perfoming pretty well for me. I've never had to use the stock player ever since I got this.
Yea mobo now let's you have the floating video on home like the stock ones does. It also gives you screen gestures for volume and brightness. Mx video is also a good player as well
