I am seriously buying one after doing my research of all the tablets coming out. Xoom still seems the best.
One of the make or break things for me is the smoothness of video playback.
On my evo, i use qqplayer, rock player, vplayer to watch tv shows/movies I converted with handbrake of my blurays and tv series. I stream these files over my home network. Some are plain divx avi's, some are 720p/1080p mkvs.When i feel like watching it on a trip or something, i just throw files on my phone to watch on the go.
Due to the small size of the screen, the phone plays the files as is just fine with no hiccups.
Can a Xoom owner, please install one of those apps mentioned, and throw both a sd video (divx avi like for a tv show episode) and a 720p and 1080p mkv (like the bd rip movies) and see how she plays them?
Any stuttering? Video/sound stay in sync?
I really do not want to reencode all my files to 'native hardware' accelerated support files. Hopefully the dualcore tegra is enough to run software decode via these players on the higher res screen smoothly.
Thanks
Did you search? There are a ton of 20 page threads already about this.
Honestly it's been done to death!
No, so far the Xoom will not play high profile h.264 files well.
Probably 6 different threads on this already.
Here's one to get you started:

ive been using arcmedia to play mpeg / avi / wmv files ever since my first android device a few years ago. Just downloaded it on to my chacha but it doesnt seem to work at all - not sure if tis a gingerbread issue.
Any suggestions for an alternative video player?
Have you try moboplayer ?
I dunno on chacha because i wont play video on this small screen, but moboplayer play nice on my gtab running gingerbread.
Hello All,
I'm trying to stream a few 1080p wmv files on my tf101 (originally present on my laptop and accessing them over LAN through ASTRO file manager and then playing on my tf101) using a lot of video players such as Moboplayer, Yxplayer, aVia player, etc. However, none of these video player apps seem to play the videos seamlessly. All of the player start to lag once 30 secs of the video is played.
Any suggestions please? Have checked for this question in the forums and couldn't find any exact one. Sorry if I have repeated the question.
Thanks in advance.

I've had the best results streaming 1080p wmv files using MXplayer. All the other players would have the audio out of synch.
Hey guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I think the stock video player is ****. Then again, I haven't liked stock something in a long time in any of my phones.
I'd like to know which video player is best? One that handles all known video formats beautifully and taht plays even 720p MKV files smoothly or as smooth as can be.
Do suggest paid apps as well. I haven't had a good video player in ages, so I'm ready to dish out around 5 bucks for it. I'd want VLC, though, but it's been in development for ages and seems to never see light.
What about MX Player Pro???
MoboplayerPro or Rockplayer
Be warned,rock player ain't preety, but it's a format buster,mobo has a neater ui and works around about the same.
Another vote for moboplayer. One of the main things I do on my GS2 is to watch videos. I´ve thrown a bunch of different formats and codecs and I never had any issues. It also supports subtitles.
MX Player for me. Swiping for volume/brightness/scrubbing is awesome. It also has 200% volume boost via software encoder.
i'm using MoboPlayer, Think is best
interface +
compatibility +
Another vote for moboplayer!! It's pretty good...
Mx player.
$1 gets you a reply
MXplayer for me.. I would like to get the pro version.. But I dont use credit cards..
Sent from my MK16i using XDA
Try diceplayer from market.
Diceplayer is the first HW accelerated video player in Android Market.
It support 720p H.264 MKV with OGG/FLAC/AC-3/DTS audio and embedded and external subtiles.
and SMB/FTP/HTTP support.
You can play video from your PC with SMB share with external subtitle.
I use MX Player & its the best player so far, it contains every feature I want... Best & fast...
Haven't really played alot of videos on my phone for a while now, but i use VitalPlayer by Ringo.
Found it to be one of the better apps for playing video. Tried quite a few before picking that one.
Free and Paid option is avaible.

Hmm, looks like I just went and bought MX Player Pro, after all. ^^
Hi everyone,
I am using Motorola moto G 2nd gen and loved watching movies. Most of my movies are of mkv format. so here's the probs, as some of you might already faced this issue that MX player can't handle mkv file like the way it does with mp4. Why can't it play one lousy mkv format movies smoothly on my goddamn phone?? It plays pretty well with vlc android beta, which i have witnessed so far is that it supports almost all file types , although one drawback that pulls my interest are slow on seeking videos forward and backward, not to mention it lacks features too. But MX player is smooth on seeking and all that stuff.
Is there in any way that i can stay happy using MX player playing mkv file??? your help would really be appreciated. Thanks a ton :good:
The mediainfo of the file, ROM version, and other technical details would be nice.
