I'm looking for a video player that can play in the background. Example, so while a video is playing i could go to the homescreen and bring up the browser for a minute then go back to the movie without the video stopping.
Nextvid works, i use it

That works great for YouTube videos but I am looking for something that will work with my .avi and .mp4 videos so I can listen to the videos while I browse the web

Stick it is a great one but it puts the videos in front but they can be resized and moved where you like.
Edit:in the settings it has an option to play in the background aswell.(i believe just added feature today)
Maybe this

Maybe Popcorn Player is something that meets your needs. It plays mp4 very well in a window that can be resized, so you can watch, listen and surf at the same time.

bs player is a great player with pop up video function that works very well. I use it in junction with mx player to test 10 bit video files.
google up "bs player google play"
This is fire, we don't have quad core.

+1 for bsplayer, it's awesome.
With the pop out function you not only can browse the web and keep watching, but I've even ran a gba emulator while watching a video simultaneously.
It's awesome.
Plus the lan function works really well. Also bookmarking.
The app "Super Video" also has the video box that can be sized and run on top of any application. Works good for .mp4s but I'm not sure about .avi's

Also try the app “YT Mobile” for playing YouTube videos in the background

you tried ES File explorer? if you have/get it navigate over to movies/videos on the main screen or find your video then long press it until you can get options for the file and select open as... then select music. the use your app of choise the press the home button. OR vlc should alow it to play VIDEOS yes the actuall video in a small box in other apps.

Whats the best app for video? This is my first android so i don't know what is "best." i need it to play MKV, Mp4, AVI, etc.... all @ HD.
MX Video Player
Thanks i will try it.
MX works very good on Fire.
Just watched Modern Family mkv in HD (720p), hardware accelerated, without lags and nothing.
PS. The only problem was the audio channel that didn't work in HW mode. Just changed that to SW decoding and everything was fine.

It's working on my mkv files very well. I also had to switch audio to software decode.

what about vplayer?
I have always trusted in VLC Player, however, technically its still in closed beta for Android, and not available for direct download via the Market.
With the OP being new to Android, I guess I might be expecting a little too much to say, Google for it (VLC-neon.apk), and sideload it?! But I'm putting it out there anyway!

How do you get it to work where you the gray pullup bar on the bottom doesn't interfere with the onscreen controls? Also, do you know if it can stream from Dropbox/Sugarsync? I haved some vids on SS that I stream on Moboplayer, but can't get them to stream on MX.

try this

Its free and it coverts best ... n use h.264 mpeg profile at 1280*720 or 1920*1080
Most of the video codecs are already supported by note or third party applications should be able to play almost all formats..if you are having issues transferring huge files enable usb debugging in the setting(for files below 4Gb). If you are looking for a good converter try handbrake its very good and free but if you are not familiar with encoding it may be slightly intemedating, look for tutorials online.

Convert? "Convert"? Man, if you have to convert anything to play on the Note, you're doing it wrongz.
Install the app MX Video Player, it play most formats I throw at it.

buddy go to application in setting's and click development mode and it normally transfer files ....
then download from market mx video player (the best) and it will play almost everything.
Dice player and RockPlayer are the best
this is the Samsung Galaxy Note - the stock player will play anything you throw at it. why encode in mpeg-4 when you can play .mkv? I don't see a point to downloading an external video player, period.
i have a lot of them and if you ned i can assist you with them.

No way, MX video player is the best IMO.
The Gnote can play many HD content, but when it comes to lets say a 1080p profile [email protected] with 16 reframes, it can't handle it, but MX video player is the one that gives me the most acceptable frame rate play under such a heavy HD video.
I got my tf300 yesterday and it great except for one thing. I get no sound when i play my mkv 720 movies or series? I have tried both streaming and local. Tried diceplayer, the built in player and moboplayer without success. MX player worked when i turned of h/w and used s/w instead but then the movies "lagged". Cant get it to work, Anyone have a clue what i can do to make it work?

MX will play them via HW but you need to click the sound key next to the HW/SW button and select the other audio track. Worked for me.
Ah, that works, Thanks. Anyone get any other player to work?
I have had good results using BS player lite. And it is cool because you can change brightness by swiping up and down in the left side of the screen and change volume the same way on the right

DO NOT DOWNLOAD VLC PLAYER FOR ANDROID!
VLC is still in development, and apks have not been released. If you find a VLC apk, it is not real or it is based on very early, probably buggy code. One person that mentioned having it said that s/he had very intrusive ads. Judging by all other VLC releases on every other platform, the real VLC for Android will not have ads, or at least not obnoxious, intrusive ads.
Diceplayer plays 1080p nicely, as long as you don't got dual audio.
Glad to hear MX player can handle different audiostreams! Now i can get my anime on!
I'll guess i will use MX or bsplayer then. I just find it a bit odd that the same files plays with no problem on my galaxy S2 with dice player..

SOLUTION!!!!
Absolute EASIEST SOLUTION!!!!!
Im running serviio from my pc and typically steam to my samsung tv's
But the easiest solution to stream directly to my s3 (i747 aokp task650)
Is:
Download and install these two apps
1.Bubble upnp https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
2. Joe VLC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=the.joevlc
Ive used mx and bs in the past, but this solution is just too easy and fast...
P. S. Ive streamed everything from small avi family guy episodes to 15gb mkv bluray files and this setup is boss..
Only issues i found was minute pixelation when in full screen mode on large files 12gb+ and some buffering when i jump around in said video but other than that its awesome.....
Enabling hw decoding in JoeVlc app takes care of any pixel issues but eats battery...
Happy streaming!
got it
yo
just do to ( in the MX player) Settting -> Decoder--> download custom codec
than u will be direct to a website .. just follow the instraction
worked perfect for me..
thank u it works good
VLC media player has been officialy released some time ago works great with .mkv

I have few MKV video files in my GS3. On stock video player, i can see the thumbnail of that mkv files, but when i played the file, it keep telling me that it can't play the files.
is there anyway to play MKV video files in stock video player?
I highly doubt you will be able to play MKV files on the stock player. But don't take my word for it. Try googling it and do let us know what you find. In the mean time, I could recommend a good free video player I found on the market which works fine for me - MoboPlayer. It's highly rated in the app market and has been perfoming pretty well for me. I've never had to use the stock player ever since I got this.
Yea mobo now let's you have the floating video on home like the stock ones does. It also gives you screen gestures for volume and brightness. Mx video is also a good player as well

Hmm..need to try MX video. Looks promising. Thanks for the tip!:good:
Hi.
I still haven't decided to buy this tablet yet. So I was wondering if the built in player displays subtitles embedded in mkvs, ass or similar files? I normally use moboplayer in order to play my soft-subbed videos on my cellphone since only a few players support this feature.
If this is not supported, is there another video player that supports this but also allows it be floating like the video player?
Thanks!

I believe that the default video player only accepts SRT subtitle file. MKV playback starts off a little bit slow but picks right up at normal speed after a few seconds.
In most of cases, it support srt. I had no problem on most movies, included mkv.
Try a app call BS player,its in the play store, I love it and it will search for the subtitles any movies you are watching..for you.

Use DICE player . It supports all subtitles and floating screen , and if subtitles are not synced properly but you don't have choice , this player can slow down subtitles or accelerate them during play .
