When I open a video from File Manager, it doesn't resume. Ie, it always start it at the beginning. I tried different video players like MoboPlayer, BSPlayer Lite, RockPlayer, etc, but I always get the same result. Only the build-in video player can resume; however, it supports very limited video type (eg no .avi)
If I open the same video from these players, video always starts from previous point (ie, it does resume).
So, is it possible to set it to resume video when the file is opened in a File Manager (either by Android's settings generally or the specific video player)
Many thanks!!
Have you tried MX video player? I use it on both my transformer, and my inspire 4g, and I've never had an issue with it not resuming a video, that I can recall. Also, it has gesture controls for volume, brightness, and seek.
Go with mxvideoplayer. It's the best one out there right now, until vlc finishes at least.
Thank you
Just tried MX Video Player and it works perfectly to resume video. Thanks a lot!

Hi there --
I'm trying to help my wife with a really strange Windows Media Player problem.
She has four videos on her phone (T-Mobile MDA). One video is a WMV recorded using the camera, in mp4 format. The other three are MPEGs converted to WMVs using Windows Movie Maker in WinXP.
To a first order, all the videos play fine. However, if she plays the captured video, THEN tries to play one of the converted videos, she will get a blank screen. If you go to the "task manager", and kill WMP, you can play the converted videos again, until the next time you play the captured video.
The symptom is a completely blank screen. Sound plays fine, and the cursor moves across like the video is playing, but no video.
Has anyone else seen this symptom?
Thankx!
imho them wmp is not a really good player
i would try winamp if that also do it
you can narrow it down to
a codec issue
or a video card driver issue
This does sound like a codec issue. Personally I don't recommend using WMP on your phone or on your desktop.
Instead download the free TCPMP. It supports many formats and has a wide verity of options to control playback, performance and memory usage.

codec?
I'm definitely going to have my wife try the other media player, thanks.
A codec may be involved, but there clearly has to be something else at foot: the problem arises across individual playing sessions. All the videos play, if you start from a fresh WMP. The faulty interaction only comes up if you play a video *from the phone* first. Totally weird.
So it sounds like no one else has seen this...
Trying to play some mp4 video podcasts from school but the audio is messed up and the video lags using the stock video player. Same problem with ES video player and MX video player... any suggestions?
Videos work fine in itunes and vlc on my windows PC
I've been using VLC player for Android (it's in closed Beta currently), but the APK (you want the neon one), is floating around the interwebs. Give that a go and see if it's any better for you.
This is the link to download VLC (neon / nonneon)

There's also moboplayer, works fantastically well.
Yeah, I fiddled with Plex, VLC and then finally moboplayer. I like moboplayer a lot more than the other two. No streaming software is required on your Mac/PC to watch video on your Android device.

I have used Mobo on my Nexus and like it. The reasons are that it plays ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING (MOV, FLV, MP4, M4V, etc.).
For the KF, it could be great in theory since you can adjust brightness and volume with screen swipes (no volume rocker on KF makes this a necessity).
The main issue that I had with Mobo on KF (side loaded) was that it wasn't doing full screen. I have a bunch of Apple TV stuff in M4V that are at resolutions (720 x 480) below the KF max resolution. When I play these files in Mobo on the KF, there is not way to put it to full screen. It uses about 75% of the screen. I guess I could recode the stuff to the full KF screen, but then I'm saving multiple versions which is just a waste of space.
Anyone know if this is solvable? The Gallery video player will play these files in full screen, but what it doesn't have is the ability to play MOVs which I have a lot of as well. I tried the Quickpic video player and while it plays the MOV files, it doesn't have on screen adjustments for volume which makes it less than ideal. So I continue to search for the ideal player:
1. Plays MOV, MP4, M4V, etc.
2. Onscreen volume swipe (and brightness if available)
3. Plays files using full screen.
Anyone?
What's the best, fastest, video streaming app for Android? (using it on a local 802.11ac network)
I'm using ES File Explorer to browse my SMB network shares and after selecting a video, and using MX Player, it takes several seconds to start and then if I skip around in the video it also takes several seconds.
On iOS there was an application called Air Video that streamed videos (lossless, if the device supported the video format) and it was incredibly fast. After selecting a video, playback would start almost instantly.
I've tried using Emit (but had bugs,crashed alot, etc), ES Player + MX Player, BubbleUPNP + MX Player, and most of them are very slow.
Are there any other options?
DicePlayer!
Hi...
You should try DicePlayer, you could add Samba server(s) and it's working great with both Linux (Ubuntu at least) and Windows (7,8).
If your hardware support the format and definition of the video you want to play it's start almost instantly.
Hope I helped you.
So MX player is great and all, and I download videos from youtube. Recently I downloaded one that MX player cannot really play using HW or HW+ and I'd like to find out why. Interestingly, the program I use to download videos from youtube (on PC) lists all the formats the video exists in, and there are two "1080p60" versions of different sizes. After opening them up with a program called MediaInfo, they seem to use different codecs/formats. One is AVC, the other is VP9.
When I said "MX player cannot really play" I mean "one video will show the first frame, audio will play normally, frames do not advance" (the AVC one). The VP9 one plays like a slide show with a frame updating every couple seconds, occasionally playing 2-3 frames at a time.
So yeah if anyone with more know-how could take a look at the video files in question, that'd be great. Here's the youtube video in question if you have your own way to download videos: SfjYhQ0dfCk
I WAS going to post dropbox links to 1) the two versions of the same video and 2) HTML files of the MediaInfo output and 3) The URL of the youtube video, but the forum is touchy about that apparently. Thank christ it doesn't complain about youtube video IDs.
H/W & H/W+ decoder uses android's internal decoder.
Looks like you device doesn't natively support playback @60fps.
S/W may play. But, it may be laggy if the processor is not powerful enough.
Ah okay. I thought it would at least play it very choppily but the video does not play at all. If I seek a few frames will play but then it will freeze again.
I'm also an idiot and forgot to mention that this is on a Galaxy S4. quad-core 1.8.

Would you share download link of both videos? Your link 'SfjYhQ0dfCk' is actually not a link.
There are many reasons why video not playing properly or not supporting HW acceleration.
Sometimes bug or limitation of device's media framework, sometimes bug of MX Player, sometimes corruption of video file, and so forth.
I have downloaded YouTube videos to my LG G4 from PC's "4K Video Downloader". It's an amazing YouTube video downloader. I watch on my phone gallery, But just last month, not sure if the MX player update has messed up that transcribed.srt subtitles not showing on MX Player but the Closed Captions (CC) works well on MX Player. Strangely, VLC player auto detects the subtitles, transcribed.srt as well as CC. Please fix this bug. On my laptop, the media player auto detects either both SRTs without having to search them.
The another frustrating thing is when playing video: Subtitle/Open , select as per the video title.
