Wma media player?

Does anyone know if there is a media player that will play Wma files? Currently using pro player but didn't seem to support Wma, which is the current format of a lot of my songs

Nope, I looked as I want to use it for a local radio station but so far I could not find any.
Google music should do you. You can upload all your music there. If not...

Or...

I would say try VitalPlayer as it seem to play verything my phone has tried so far even some the stock players could not and the stock hits many. The free one from the app stor can be found https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDUwMSwiY29tLmRnby5WaXRhbFBsYXllciJd
I found out that the miui music app plays wma

HD Video lag on Revision3 app

As the title says, I've been having this problem for a while now although I've flashed different ROMs.
Currently running EOS 3.
Basically whenever I play any show in HD, video lags every few seconds and works fine on Large.
Anyone else having same problem or know how to improve it?
Thanks :thumbup:

I'm using Android official video player to run some HD videos, work really well, and for HD Movies I use BS player, works good too.

Thanks for your reply.
Revision3 is an internet TV. so It's much easier to watch/stream using official app.
Playing in HD on my HP TouchPad running Android 4.0 works fine.
Xoom meant to be better and running newer version of Android 4.1

video player that best enhances playback

I've got some videos downloaded from Youtube that I'd like to play on my Inspire, but the audio is behind the video. I've tried QQ Player and Vplayer. I know the Inspire isn't the fastest processor out there, but I'm hoping to find something that will use everything the Inspire has to give me the best synch of video and audio I can get. Thanks for any suggestions.
Wich Rom are you using? I use args 6.3.3 and stock player works fine check if it isn't a bug of your rom

I'm using Rumrunner 4. I did load up Moboplayer and it does better than Vplayer and QQ Player.

+1. Even 720p videos works nicely with MX Player.
I am using Blackout ICS with sense 3.6 and many other ROMs, and MX player has always worked flawlessly. I have been able to play a 3gb 720p .mkv file with no issues.

Bad performance in XBMC with Ice Films and Navi X?

Hey guys.
I'm loving my Nexus 5. But I use xbmc on a daily basis for streaming movies and TV shows from icefilms and navi x.
I've been trying to play some videos and every video I have played so far has cracking in the audio and the video is very stuttery. This is the same on different sources and 720p and lower quality video.
Can anybody else test this or advise on anything that could help fix it?
Surely its not the Nexus 5 specs causing the problem.
Regards,
Adam

Definitely not a hardware limitation. Maybe your internet streaming bandwidth isn't enough for HD streams?

Wait for support from xbmc to make it work on 4.4. It's just google changed a few things with regards to API's in 4.4

I've tried lower res aswell. Its the same. I've not had probs streaming HD with any other phone anyway.
Think it's like poster above suggests, changes in 4.4 maybe?

Do you also have problems while watching videos that are saved on the phone or YouTube video's? I noticed some stuttering while playing video's as wel but it doesnt stem to be limited to one app.

Went through same issues with a different Snapdragon 800 device and did a lot of testing. Though not perfect monthly build version 13.0 alpha 7 appears to be the most usable of the bunch. Give this a shot:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/xbmc-13.0-Gotham_alpha7-armeabi-v7a.apk
Are you using nightly builds?
Every Chanel of xbmc has stuttering from image to sound. Gotta try the new build.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm using the latest nightly (xbmc-20131211-210cf9f-master-armeabi-v7a.apk) from the 11 December from http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/xbmc/nightlies/android/arm/
Most of the add-ons do not work but I haven't had any issues with sound on video playback.
