I'm looking for a videop player that can play avi, mkv, m4v, and mp4. I'm currently using mVideo Player Pro, but it seem not to like avi, mkv, and m4v. Any help would be appretiated.
QQplayer
QQplayer android market
Try LittlePlayer, there's a free version that plays 5 mins of video to see if it will play what you want. It's the only video player besides stock (that I've come across) that fades out the status bar at the bottom of the screen, a MUCH appreciated feature. More video players need to do this or we need more people to support this player.

good find!
...are you from cuba?
I use Vplayer (from the market). Seems to work ok so far, I haven't tested all the file types yet though.
I try and use the default player if possible (as it using hardware decoding) but otherwise I use Moboplayer.
Rock player! it plays every format!
MoboPlayer, no lag with MKV files. Lovely

+1 for MoboPlayer, I've found it a bit smoother than RockPlayer in my experience.

yes from Havana and I live in Louisvile, KY
mVideoplayer is running fine. It plays all my 720p High Profile mkv's (re-encoded according to the guide @xda).
Moboplayer and Rockplayer were also playing the files, but together with subtitles (srt's) they didn't get the job done (smoothly without subtitles, but with much lag when subtitles where shown) where mVideoplayer does it right.
I will give Littleplayer a try, because of hiding the status bar. Hopefully it's capable of playing subtitles.
Unfortunately Littleplayer does not support subtitles, but I like the hidden dockbar very much. If I could mix Littleplayer with mVideoplayer I would have the perfect videoplayer.

I've heard ppl having the same issue, but never experienced it myself
Also, try to set the langages in the preferences before playing it

I don't know, it just plays all my movies from the start. I was experimenting with almost all players, but none of them were good for my demands (working subtitles). mVideoplayer plays every movie which I've encoded. I don't know in what way you open the movies, but I start them from an explorer, not from within the program itself. Maybe that works. I also had these problems with Rockplayer and Moboplayer. All my mkv's are re-encoded from the guide found here @ xda.
All movies should be re-encoded to change the ac3 sound to aac, otherwise you don't have any audio! I think this solves the no-sound issue with the mkv's.
Can you share this link for the guide?
My 720p or 1080p LOST Blu-Ray rips are playing in amazing quality on MOBO player but no sound unfortunately. I installed all the codecs from MOBO but still no luck. The picture quality is impressive though.

Doing a quick search i came up with this:

I meant this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
When you're on HC 3.1 you don't have to encode the video anymore, only the ac3/DTS sound to aac to have sound on the TF. Then, the guides above will also be good enough and these will take less time to encode. When you're on HC 3.01 you have to encode video too.
I just used the attached presets from my link and I got perfect videoquality and sound, with seperate srt's I also have subtitles.
I had been using RockPlayer on my Android 2.2 GTab and it was my best choice for video playback. When I got my Android 3.1 TF, RockPlayer Lite would work but you couldn't activate it because of the HC OS. They have a new HC 3.1 release now and it works perfect for me and activates perfect. (I did have to buy another license but a great program and worth the $9.99 for me...)
Hi all,
The stock player plays quite a few files natively but wasn't able to recognize the .mov taken with my friend's DSLR. I used to use MX player with my old phone and it worked great with HW acceleration but when I try to play the .mov (1080p) on the Note, only SW acceleration is available for the note which is quite choppy and it wont let me install any of the codecs from the market. Does anyone know of any other video players for the Note, or have got MX player working properly? I tried installing the ARMv7 codec on the note, is this the right version?
Thanks in advance,
Shaizer.
Im running DicePlayer which works great.
There's no problem playing mov-files in 1080p, I just tried a 1080p trailer in mov with DicePlayer and it worked perfectly. However I'm not sure what bitrate the your mov-file is?
I have Mx video player installed without any extra codec. Apparently the idea is you only need a codec if it actually asks for it.
I have so far tried various formats mp4, mkv (both 720 & 1080) and it has played them all.
I'm using QQ Player.

I use dice player too. It works great with all my HD/SD videos with subtitles.
Awesome thanks all, will try DicePlayer and see how that goes. The bitrate of my .mov files are 46MBPS I guess its a raw format as it is straight from the camera.
Dice Player plays MKV's flawlessly.

As does MoboPlayer and best of all it's free.
I haven't found Moboplayer quite as good as Dice Player, but I do use it occasionally (it's software decoding is a bit better than Dice Player's).
Also using MoboPlayer; it works well.

Mobo is the only one that works for streaming from my NAS ... except the sound does not work!
No other player I have tried (including the ones mentioned above) will stream at all and I have yet to find one that works with the sound
Whats the best app for video? This is my first android so i don't know what is "best." i need it to play MKV, Mp4, AVI, etc.... all @ HD.
MX Video Player
Thanks i will try it.
MX works very good on Fire.
Just watched Modern Family mkv in HD (720p), hardware accelerated, without lags and nothing.
PS. The only problem was the audio channel that didn't work in HW mode. Just changed that to SW decoding and everything was fine.

Yep, MX Video Player is the best video player for the Kindle Fire.

It's working on my mkv files very well. I also had to switch audio to software decode.

what about vplayer?
I have always trusted in VLC Player, however, technically its still in closed beta for Android, and not available for direct download via the Market.
With the OP being new to Android, I guess I might be expecting a little too much to say, Google for it (VLC-neon.apk), and sideload it?! But I'm putting it out there anyway!

How do you get it to work where you the gray pullup bar on the bottom doesn't interfere with the onscreen controls? Also, do you know if it can stream from Dropbox/Sugarsync? I haved some vids on SS that I stream on Moboplayer, but can't get them to stream on MX.
I got my tf300 yesterday and it great except for one thing. I get no sound when i play my mkv 720 movies or series? I have tried both streaming and local. Tried diceplayer, the built in player and moboplayer without success. MX player worked when i turned of h/w and used s/w instead but then the movies "lagged". Cant get it to work, Anyone have a clue what i can do to make it work?

MX will play them via HW but you need to click the sound key next to the HW/SW button and select the other audio track. Worked for me.
Ah, that works, Thanks. Anyone get any other player to work?
I have had good results using BS player lite. And it is cool because you can change brightness by swiping up and down in the left side of the screen and change volume the same way on the right

DO NOT DOWNLOAD VLC PLAYER FOR ANDROID!
VLC is still in development, and apks have not been released. If you find a VLC apk, it is not real or it is based on very early, probably buggy code. One person that mentioned having it said that s/he had very intrusive ads. Judging by all other VLC releases on every other platform, the real VLC for Android will not have ads, or at least not obnoxious, intrusive ads.
Diceplayer plays 1080p nicely, as long as you don't got dual audio.
Glad to hear MX player can handle different audiostreams! Now i can get my anime on!
I'll guess i will use MX or bsplayer then. I just find it a bit odd that the same files plays with no problem on my galaxy S2 with dice player..

SOLUTION!!!!
Absolute EASIEST SOLUTION!!!!!
Im running serviio from my pc and typically steam to my samsung tv's
But the easiest solution to stream directly to my s3 (i747 aokp task650)
Is:
Download and install these two apps
1.Bubble upnp https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
2. Joe VLC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=the.joevlc
Ive used mx and bs in the past, but this solution is just too easy and fast...
P. S. Ive streamed everything from small avi family guy episodes to 15gb mkv bluray files and this setup is boss..
Only issues i found was minute pixelation when in full screen mode on large files 12gb+ and some buffering when i jump around in said video but other than that its awesome.....
Enabling hw decoding in JoeVlc app takes care of any pixel issues but eats battery...
Happy streaming!
got it
yo
just do to ( in the MX player) Settting -> Decoder--> download custom codec
than u will be direct to a website .. just follow the instraction
worked perfect for me..
thank u it works good
VLC media player has been officialy released some time ago works great with .mkv

Whats the best video player for AVI/MKV files?
Thanks!
it's mx player for me.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
mx player
although i lost my last android but i still remember how cool that program is,
now i'm just waiting for the 700, now i really want to experience android (esspecially 4.0, last time i got 2.3) but i don't have one
BS player lite is the best for me. Think it's better than MX player, BS player has it's own HW engine. Also MX player stopped supporting DTS sound.
MX for me. It even has a child lock which is a life saver.
Mx player + kids lock is the ultimate car tranquilizer.
For me it's dice player. Old avi, mkv, 720p mkv, mini 720p mkv, rmvb all play w/o any problem
VLC ?
Has anyone tried the VLC player??

Thanks, I just purchased MX Player Pro, seems like a great video player!

For the moment, I use MX Player pro without problem with the child lock plugin
And I use VLC update 24 for AVI also, and it's plays well
