it plays all the formats it claims to? wow.. you haven't had any issues with it at all?
It works really well, .mkv files play choppy, but any of the .mkv files I converted to mp4 play great. Divx rips play really well, they often look clearer on the small screen than on my monitor!
Been using it for weeks. Plays the most formats I've ever seen of any android player. Best part... Its free!!! Wish I could find a stand alone player for .swf format movies.
Now they want 10 bucks for it!!! Not worth it. But you can still use it. NAGWARE
ROCKPLAYER plays all avi files....
Its all I need )
doesnt work with hdmi out
If its not in the market I won't buy it.
never tried it yet, might in a bit though...

It now is and is out of beta
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
beta version gave me a bad humming buzzing sound when it got quiet in all my .avi files hopefully they fixed it..
that's weird.. i haven't heard any humming sound, although avi audio and video lags. i don't know why.
oh and i tried an mp4 720p video on it, such lag... i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's an otherwise good player.
Yeah, I downloaded the new release today, they changed it to ad/support or pay if you don't want to see ads.
Videos I had encoded into mp4 that played pretty well before, and flawlessly through the phone's video player, now are laggy, especially when you skip through the video.
mkv's still lag, avi/divx still plays well.
I hope they fix all this soon.
I've been using it since it was leaked awhile back, love it.

I don't have any except for when seeking through the files or playing after pause. For a few short seconds audio is choppy or there is none. Also so far I can't get subs to work. Oh and I forgot about HD, well you can fahget about it. 720p vids of bleach, in mpg format, that also seem to have low bitrates since its only 300 plus mbs didn't work. That was with the beta though for the latter.
It only supports .srt UTF-8 subtitles currently.
The application definitely needs some polish. It can't play most HD files yet, and needs more support for other subtitle formats and audio types, but it's the most capable player on Android. One of the only ones that'll play divx files flawlessly.
I love it used the beta for ever but yes it is out of beta and on the market get it while you can
One thing I like about rockplayer that I haven't seen posted anywhere is that it plays flv's. I have ton of those(I had a love affair with youtubedownloader for a while!)
How do I associate it with video files to make it the default video player?
Should I be able to open a file on my LAN via the wireless network in ESTRong explorer and play it?
hello
Which app do I need to play mkv/HD content on the transformer?
Thanks

mobo player seems the best for functionality and .mkv files. Rock player for .avi. (My experience so far)
i had a lot of problems with mobo when i tried to hdmi mirror the only one that seems to work for me was Vplayer.... ya i know it's 5 dollars but atleast it works really work... and ya 1080 mkv's work fine
With Mobo player I have problems getting sound. (IE the movie playes stutter free, but i get no sound at all.)
With vplayer, rockplayer, and a few other I've tried, I get this horrible stuttering /slow fps in the playback.
I'm running a stock rom, not rooted with all OTA updates.
Honestly, your best bet is to transcode/re-encode your videos to mp4 format.
That's the reason I might switch to the Galaxy Tab when it comes out.
Re-encoding is a pain in the ass.
I wish there was something that works well for all the formats, a VLC or something would be awesomeness.

Galaxy Tab has the same engine under the hood, so it will have the same problems. You might have to wait until Tegra 3 for this to be fully fleshed out.

Samsung frequently add support for MKV and AVI containers into their android phones. But that is _just_ the container support it doesn't magically give the Tegra2 enough grunt to play high bitrate high profile blue ray rips.
Also note that the TF can already parse MKV containers (otherwise it wouldn't be able to play WebM) it just doesn't have the ".mkv" file extension plumbbed into the gallery or the default player. I've found that as long as the video and audio streams are playable then simply renaming the file so that there is ".mp4" on the end (without transcoding nor changing container) is enough to make mkv's play in the default player

I'll bet that's high/main profile h.264 video with AC3 audio. That will never play without at least transcoding the audio track. You either get hardware acceleration (and the hardware can't play the audio track) or pure software decode (and the CPU can't keep up with the video)
Hi guy im wondering what is the best video player app out there that will support subtitles when u have them in youre sd card. Ive tried quite a couple already and none seem to get the subtitles running or it just wont show it. Ive tried "rock player, vplayer act 1 video player and vita player pro. None of this app video players seem to wrk with subtitle. Please let me know if you know any thank u. By the was i got the g2x phone.
Best Video Player

I tried mvideo player and tis is the only player that did recognize and added the subtitiles by itself. But only thing is kept on foreclosing :/, as in handbrake? what player is that, tried looking for it in the market and couldnt find it.

The mVideoplayer is my favorite one, but the MoboPlayer would be the one that plays the most files.
Video Formats
What format and settings are you using for the videos? I've used a couple of players so far, and both mobo and mvideoplayer have done well for me so far, but specific video formatting can be sketchy. I've found that its best to remaster any vids I grab to a universal format that does a reasonable job of compression vs quality. I don't recall the settings I've been using off the top, but I can check once I get home from work and let you know what works best for me.
Moboplayer!
stock is best
i think the stock player is best ... but it would be nice if someone would compile VLC to work on android... just a thought.
I use Vplayer and it plays everything i need to, trial is free and says it only will work for 30 days or something like that but i have used it past that with no problems
is there anything that will play ISO though?
I personally use vplayer has best quality and haven't found a video yet it hasn't been able to play...

The film and the subs are with the same name? Like Avatar.rmvb / Avatar.srt and in the same folder?
mVideoPlayer
Just thought i'll share,
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&feature=more_from_developer
its a multi-format player called MX videoplayer(in case the market link doesnt work).
so far seems good, comparable to mobo player
**edit 18 Aug 2011 **
Here are a few other players that have been mentions in the replies here, i'll put the links here
Mobo Player
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&feature=search_result
i'm using mobo and mx both
DICE Player
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial&feature=more_from_developer
seem like there have been good stuff being mention about it. Thanks to zephiK for letting us know.
I found out that the dev for DICE is actively answering questions on this thread so look out for post by juami (the dev) and if you have specific questions( [email protected] )they are happy to help.
the player i'm waiting for is from VLC.... heard that they are having issue coding the library files(C++) to something android can read.
nice find! downloading now
edit: nice interface still waiting for a video media player that can decode AC3 audio on honeycomb.
Good player...but can't specify a folder to look for videos in.... have videos on microsd card and can't find them when searching for media files

Personally I started using file explorers for opening video files. It usually agrees more with cifs and the standalone ones usually just work better. I'm loving this player tbh. Space bar is pause and play, a feature, as an editor, is welcome.
thanks. I was looking for a decent video player.
Damn it seems to work good but it doesn't handle mkv's.

You can now Update today!
@david279: it handles it. processes video but no audio in H/W.. vice versa in S/W.
and yeah yeah i know I can handbrake to fix it etc etc but I want it to work out of the box without converting
Awesome.... great player....stuck between using this and moboplayer
That was a fast update/fix..... Devs do listen to us normal people hahaha

Cant use it to stream from dreambox, vplayer works very good for that.
What a great find! Thanks for sharing.
I noticed that the sound seems better with this player than others that I've tried.
I'm happy camper!
Another Honeycomb player is out named DICE Player. I had good experiences with it on my phone including mkvs with AC3 audio AND I can confirm that... IT WORKS ON TF101 with the newest version that came out today.
https://market.android.com/search?q=DICE+player&so=1&c=apps
MKV + AC3 Audio working in Hardware Acceleration!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial&feature=search_result is the 3-day trial to see if it works.
Edit: About a 3 second lag at the beginning but it plays fine afterwards.

Yeah I definitely bought it. $3.95 is a good price, it's the first media player that actually uses hardware to decode. I just love it because it decodes AC3 audio and uses hardware acceleration.
Whereas, on other players including this one and RockPlayer,MoboPlayer,etc.
When they decode in hardware: no audio, video is fine
Decode in software: video lags, there is audio
This one meets both of them half way and says "bye!" to handbraking to get video files to work.
Works very well on my phone and saw that there was a update to it. I just had to get it for my Transformer when I saw Honeycomb support!
MX Player works better than moboPlayer on my Transformer, and plays 720 video faster from my SD card. Awesome.

I did get dice to stutter a bit. A 1080p inception got it and tron legacy had some problems. These were streaming though.

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
dice seems to be pretty good but, having some issues accessing my sd card and files with subtitles (gallery to dice trial don't seem to show subtitles and subtitle size and such options don't seem to work)
Can anyone with the full version confirm that works correctly in the paid for version?
what kinda files are the movies yall watch? and where to get them? vuze?
I've never done this before.
I'd like to download some torrent TV shows and play them back on my Skyrocket.
What movie playback app do I need to do this?
Most torrent TV shows are .mpg/mpeg. I also rip .MKV files so want to watch those also.
Hopefully something that lets me adjust audio synch, since Netflix synch is out of whack when used with bluetooth to my car stereo. Off by about 1/2 second or more.
EDIT, looks like this was easier than I thought. Here is a player that says it does mkv:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5ic3BsYXllci5ic3BhbmRyb2lkLmZyZWUiXQ..
EDIT #2 - yep, plays back MKV non-HD perfectly. Have not tested anything else or bluetooth yet.

How about actually subscribing to a service?
Your movie viewing experience on your Skyrocket will be awesome.
I have Netflix, HBO Go, WATCHESPN, and Xfinity TV for streaming movies and TV shows.
I also, on occasion, rip DVDs that I buy if the Digital Copy is not included, load them on my Skyrocket.
Do yourself a favor, avoid the aggravation and actually subscribe to some service.
My 2 cents.
