Try "yxflash" from the market. It claims to be able to play WMV, DivX & Xvid... Haven't tried it myself though.

It's a $19.99 app that has to be purchased outside the market though... I don't like the way they're trying to conduct business.

Try meridian from the market. Haven't tested xvid yet but seems to play things otherwise built in on my mytouch couldn't haven't gotten that far.

Yea. They're kinda shady since they call it free then charge you to use it.

I'm guessing, if it does actually work, he doesn't want some rooted dirtbag downloading and refunding to add to the plethora of pirated apps. I haven't seen the app yet, but I figure if allows google checkout, it should be as safe as any other purchase via google checkout.
isn't there a samsung android phone with divx support builtin? I'm pretty sure I read that some where. Wonder if someone is working on some sort of port...

there are two android phones which play divx/xvid out of the box. one from samsung and the other from lg. getting the drivers/media player ported from either of these phones would be a big plus from me. i know i could convert media before hand, however i use my memory card as a "memory stick" which i bring in to work to watch on the PC during lunch. being able to play the same files on the phone when i'm on the bus/train would be so much easier.

try doubletwist if you're on Windows/Mac... no linux version yet
it will convert them to play on android by just dragging them over to the device...

I can confirm that yxflash works on my G1. I just download a divx movie (about 700 mb) and play it. Unfortunately the frame rate is about 15 f/s. Hope on Nexus One it will be much better.

btw, they still have xmas, you can get 50% off while using coupon code "xmas".
Still too expensive for my opinion, but hey, they come from the apple universum where all have too much money.

Now this post isnt going to be of much use because i couldnt find all the links i was after..... however
There were people requesting the samsung xvid/divx player be ported out back on the G1. Seems that one of XDA's members lbcoder has some decent incite on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566591&highlight=divx
He posted
divx is just an implementation of iso mpeg4.
So...
to make it play you need to;
1) ensure that bitrate and resolution are low enough to be properly handled,
2) package it in a compatible container (mp4 works)
3) ensure that the AUDIO is encoded in a compatible manner (vorbis is great, but others also work, mp3, aac, etc.)
4) ensure that there is no crap in the file showing that it is divx because it simply doesn't know what divx *IS* -- make it read as mpeg4 -- this does NOT require reencoding the file, just using a SANE header.

I thought $10 wasn't bad. It plays awesome on the N1. It takes me 10 minuted to download a Divx movie, but 30 mins to convert. Over the course of several months, I would save a ton of time converting movies. I can download directly to the SD card via browser and play with yxflash.
Yes, having to purchase outside the market is shady, but I have contacted them several times with issues and they resolved them within one day.

Found the app via market at first glance i thought nah **** it because of the bad rating.. at second glance i actually took the time to read the comments, turns out most of the comments where bad/laggy playback, witch was partly due to Magic / Heros hardware, and the resizing requirements..
ive installed the trial, and it plays beautifully.. although sometimes i do get some lines across the screen, but they are hard to notice...
Price is still a bit high thou! :/ im gonna give it a month or two to see if a cheaper alternative shows up, and hopefully by that time Google will have opened up the market in Denmark.

used yxflash to play an hd copy of ice age 3 in xvid, ran nearly perfect, every so often there is some frame skip

RockPlayer: First public beta available

We released first public beta of RockPlayer just several minutes ago.
RockPlayer can play most kinds of video files including avi, mkv, rmvb, flv, mp4, 3gp, wmv, mov, asf, divx, xvid, and h264 formats. This version supports android versions from 1.6 to 2.2. It requires an armv6 or armv7 CPU with vfp instruction set. Sorry G1/Magic/Hero users, your phone's CPU didn't have vfp.
This forum prevented me from posting external links. So please replace # with dot in following links:
Download link: http://groups.google.com/hk/group/rockplayer/files
Official forum: http://www.diffthink.com/forum/
Please also note this is a beta version and would expire on July 15.
Thanks for support.

Thats great news

When I try to adjust the volume it does it for the ringer and not the video MOST the time, but not all the time. I usually have to hit play and pause a bunch and then do the volume to adjust the media volume. Using the motorola droid.

Thanks will go and give it a try

You can only adjust media volume while media is playing. If it's paused there's no volume to adjust.
Loving the beta so far.

Bandwidth exceeded. Is there a mirror?

You can download it here.

Does anybody know if this play .asx files? I want to use it with orb
thanks in advance

The July 15 expiration can be removed! It is not so hard.
Now i patched it for myself.

Does anyone else have issues with playing certain files?
When I try to play MKV files on my N1 (running kang-o-rama 0.8 final) it will not play properly at all. Also, when I try to play FLV files I just get audio, no video.
And eventually I would like to see subtitle support. Yeah I know I'm picky, but I like to watch anime on my phone

opensky2... Congrats on the release. Have you licensed the decoders you are distributing? ie; MP3, AAC, ASP, AVC, etc. I don't see you listed as a licensee on the MPEGLA website for either AVC or ASP. Also... What about links to the FFmpeg source code that you are using?

This product is being provided in good faith as a beta test after the original closed beta was leaked. It looks like it's a great app and a first for android - it's obviously taken time and effort to develop and I'm sure most here would be prepared to pay for the final product.
Please don't put other developers off making the effort to bring cool things to android by abusing the trust the developers are giving us here.

folks..i can't seem to open any files.
tried 4 different avi's. all of them bring the app back to the folder selection screen.
running on cyanogen 5.0.8 android 2.2 on my HTC magic.
i tried uninstalling + reinstalling the player twice as well.
any suggestions?

It won't work on Magic, as it doesn't have any of the required cpus.

Downloaded a house episode, full fps on an unedited avi 320mb video, full screen options dosnt distore screen like the demo version.

great! this is exactly what i've been looking for. im definitely willing to pay.
two areas for potential improvement that i've noticed...
1. i cant access the internal memory on my htc incredible. only sd card.
2. i cant set this as the default video player on my phone. ...this would allow a workaround of #1 by using astro file manager to access my files and open them from there.
the 2nd one is more important to me, personally. i would be accessing my videos on my home server and opening them via astro to play over my network.
other than that, this is awesome!

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Pretty non-obtrusive ads for us in countries without a paid market, good call by developers.
Been using the leaked alpha up until now, but replaced it with this version

Could somebody explain to me why this app needs permission to read phone state and identity (heading: phone calls).
Seems odd...but curious!

The beta was cool as fook, but now the audio lags then catches up. Joke app now...
Reverted to mplayer as i don't have avi's anyway, and has brightness memory, cool

So it knows when you are getting a call so it can pause the video.

Does anyone know if the paid version has the R logo, or is that removed, along with ads, when you pay the $10?
I used the alpha without the R logo until now, but this looks better (better scaling mainly), though the R is a deal-breaker for me.

App has been updated to fix lag issues.

The paid version does not have the red R logo

I don't understand why they can't just have a Paid Version on the market....
*LIGHT BULB*
They want to take full profit from the sale instead of letting Google handle the transaction..
I for one want to support them since I've been using their Beta version
HOWEVER!!!!!... Since it is only registered to the Phone IMEI... *since they are trying to avoid Google Tariffs..... Switching Phones will require you to purchase it again....
I FOR ONE WILL NOT BUY IT OUT OF PRINCIPLE.... What I pay for should be a global one time payment... knowing myself. I will get the *Nexus Two* and follow Google assuming they don't switch Manufacturers.. *COUGH* MOTOROLA SUCKS

OK...
this is crap, or I am stupid
1. i have a few *.m4v videos that show up in the lists of stock player and mVideoPlayer, but don't show up in RockPlayer (although RockPlayer can play them, when i un-check "show media files only" (so that EVEN RockPlayer can see them... and click them in RockPlayer...)
2. when i am in a file explorer, and click on *.m4v the pop up window only offers choice of stock player and mVideoPlayer
3. The option "use as system player" doesn't seem to have an effect.
4. Rockplayer does not offer a consolidated list of videos on its home GUI?????????? I have to click through my file system to find all my videos individually????
5. paypal payment method.... no way to refund???????
... why again is this better than mVideoPlayer???

I have uninstalled the software and have no intention to use it ever again.
Just as I expected my refund request to PayPal was declined by the seller.
In his response to my refund request he didn't even comment on any of my complaints, just provided a simple "i am sorry to hear it" and an explanation of what "use RockPlayer as system player" means (= using the phone's hardware acceleration (not sure whether it's true or not).
Exactly what posters above are worried about: if you are not satisfied, you have no way to refund and for every new phone you would have to acquire a new license because the license is hooked to the phone's ID.
I strongly advise against using the PayPal scheme
i have escalated to PayPal, because I have already uninstalled and since I am not using the software would like to have a full refund.

Paypal will refund you mate im sure,
I think its very underhanded of this company (if its a company and just not a small time dev) to not refund you...
I would not enter into any transactions outside of Google Market as your totally protected.
I would also tell everyone to avoid this app like the plague, and install Mvideo player, its about a thousand times better....
If your bothered about AVI playback, just convert, simples

does it recognize *.avi file as media file? or do you have to disable "show only media files" to see it?
does the audio lag come back when you scroll forward or backward?
mmh... does it show all video media files at start up page, or do we still have to manually sift through our file structure to find the videos individually?

I just put in the root of the SDCARD 2 avi's that have been encoded using xvid. 1 sample of a DVDSCR and another a full length movie.. Both files showed up fine and played excellent! Didnt have to look at other options.
Yes audio lag both forward and back, but comes back soon after
what ROM are you running? Maybe update? Im on stock non root

Dear developer,
This is in my knowledge the only app to transcode the local media to Chromecast! Great job! However due to the adds casting the Chromecast renders not responsive very often. I would be glad to try one of your promo codes! Where do I enter it? No menu item in the app... If this works as expected I would be glad to spend 5 Euro for an application like yours
OK, figured it out. I used MB733T7DKLX6N1DYHGWCDMK just to make others aware. Thank you again!
I will post here my experience with your great work

What's the story with MXPlayer by J2 Interactive in 2018? It's all too fishy.

So I'm confused.
I've been using MX Player for over half a decade now. Just the one app, it's the only MX Player in my app history.
( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad )
Their website is ( http://j2apps.com/ )
But lately it says "including MXPlay". WTF is MXPlay?
They deleted their facebook page that's listed in their Play Store page description.
( https://www.facebook.com/MX.Player.Official )
Also ( https://www.facebook.com/MXPlayer/ ) -- was also deleted.
There are two other pages that haven't been validated by Facebook yet.
( https://www.facebook.com/MXPlay/ ) -- They just updated their page an hour ago with a new name and new logo and foreign language description.
Described as:
Code:
MXPlay - India ka favourite Entertainment app
MXPLAY·THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2018
India ka best video player ab banega India ka Maha entertainment app.
Enjoy 100,000 hours of entertainment for free only on MXPlay.
Update Now! Google Play Store: [url]http://goo.gl/3VU3h1[/url]
India? That's strange, because MX Player is made in Korea. India is only known for its scammers and more scammers.
Their webpage is ( http://www.mxplay.com ) and it's not accessible to people outside of India.
( https://www.facebook.com/mxplayerapp/ ) -- Also fairly active. Their website is http://www.mxplayer.io/
Code:
MX is the best video and music player for Android. This app is better because of its wide range of options
that fine tunes the playback of video and audio files for the best experience.
Pretty clean, familiar facebook page and website. No crazy foreign tongues or new logos, slogans or branding. I'm fairly inclined to believe this is the real deal, but it's not mentioned on the Play Store page.
So, help me out here. Do I need to uninstall MX Player and switch to VLC full time before I'm taken on a wild new ride I didn't sign up for?
It's all too fishy.

I received an email response from the developer. J2 Interactive (Korea) sold MX Player to a company in India. MX Player has been renamed to MXPlay, and is now a form of some India-only Netflix for providing movie streaming subscription services.

Not all Indians are scammers
Man this is really sad knowing your mentality thinking all Indians are scammers when almost all the softwares and technology you are using is developed by many Indians out there.
Those scamming companies are actually outsourced to a few Indians but the profit goes to some guy/ company who is located outside India.
Dude I work in IT. I'm not a spam caller. There are millions of us getting paid like peanuts but keep on building most of the softwares you are using.
Stop this b.s.
Most of the Indian companies which acquires small foreign companies only help them and develop them. Not like many u.s companies who simply kill those companies by acquiring them to kill the competition.
Stop judging all with your pathetic mentality. It's not our fault that your parents taught you to hate on people without even thinking twice. Grow up. Atleast a bit.
Even many Indians work in this community. And you are using these so called "Indian scammer's" tip and help to solve your problems. But the hate will keep on coming. Nice bruh..
