Besides Google Play, does the infinity come with a movie player and music player? Or does anyone have good suggestions for some from the google play store? Again, like in the other thread, I am coming from the galaxy tab which had one. Thanks

Try Apollo, it's made for CyqnogenMod, and it's great if you don't want to use Play Music.
From what everyone is saying, MX Player and BSPlayer are the best video players

for music, if you don't want your music in the cloud and rather have it on your device, i suggest PowerAmp.
for movies, MX Player Pro is my choice for anything thats not mkv, avi or flv. But i believe it can handle those formats as well. For those formats, i like to go with DicePlayer.
I like winamp personally for music. Particularly because it has a lock screen that automatically take the place of your standard lock screen only when winamp is loaded and being used. This lock screen gives you the option to skip and pause and such. When at this lock screen, you can tap the unlock icon and it drops you to your normal unlock screen so you can enter PW/use lock screen short cuts, and so on. I use this heavily on my phone, so this may not be a selling point on a tablet, but you never know.
I use and like Apollo. The only real complaint I have with it is that it makes your album artwork kinda pixelated, and its also not tablet optimized. That said, there's really only two tablet optimized music players out there and they both suck.

I used poweramp for a short time. There was something about it that I didn't like, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was as I was trying about 4 different players at the time.

May give it a second chance if I become disenchanted with WinAmp. I've been using Winamp for many years on a PC. I've grown accustom to the UI, colors, and hearing the occasional "Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass"
I'm using playerpro for a long time and works great. Also downloads lyrics and art, etc.

Adding a +1 for PlayerPro. Nice with different themes.
Seems like player pro and power amp r what I'm looking for... They both cost five dollars a piece... Any arguments for one over the other or experiences from those that have tried both

Can't speak for playerpro but apparently maxmp is working on Google Music integration for Poweramp which I'm looking forward to. Check out the forums if you're curious about upcoming features.
http://forum.powerampapp.com/
FWIW, I'm an audiophile and keep my music in .flac on a NAS. I am not willing to use any kind of streaming for my own library. After trying many many things, I've found powerAMP to be the best compromise. It's custom library scanner is indispensable in this situation. MusicMatch lyrics plugins is kinda nice and I love the high level of customizations possible.
I use it on my ICS tab, and GB phone.

double-tap the screen? And if they don't stretch out on the whole screen, then I would not like to see it fitting the whole screen. Since then it would look all pixelated and ****.
Yxflash can play most video files. I think that Meridian might stretch them out, like you want. I am not quite sure tho, since I convert them so that they fit the screen.
I gotta agree there.. Yxflash does play other types compared to others such as avi/divx files! If you are after a basic player, I think there's one called act 1 player..

try Wuzhenhua Player v4.1, free and has support for a wide range of audio and video formats. it's in Chinese but few buttons are easy to understand
http://mobiputing.com/tag/wuzhenhua-player/
within link above there is a ref to a thread in xda, post 76 you'll find english ver
Please let me know if someone would like to have the english translation of Wuzhenhua Player v4.1. Then i will help to do it.
Wuzhenhua 4.1 is already in English ^^x
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a media player collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject?

Media Go - Skyfire
I found that the SONY Media Go application can practically convert anything even old copy protected iTunes if you have DRM on your computer, If you are downloading off the phone browser try using Skyfire as this has built in video codecs for most video formats.

search for cubed on the the market you will find 3 on the list
I didn't notice any settings in my newly purchased Infuse that would allow this so I wanted to check, is there an add-on app or setting I'm missed that will allow the screen to stay on while the music player is playing?
this is an option that i don't believe the default player has. there are several media players in the market that have this option. i use PowerAmp, best player in my opinion
Thanks any thoughts on what is considered the most feature rich player?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
people seem to like doubletwist because it integrates with itunes i believe. but as far as features, i believe poweramp is head and shoulders above the rest. it autoplays on headphone insertion/bluetooth connection. it has its own lockscreen controls. it crossfades between songs and kills the silence at the beginning and end of tracks, making for a professional dj sounding club mix. the only shortcoming is, it doesn't directly handle m3u files, but this will be fixed in the next release.
Much appreciated.

Rockbox is the most feature rich, not on the market though. You'll have to hunt for the apk.

You can do this using tasker.
I was browsing apps the other day and saw Tasker... it seemed a bit daunting so I didn't look in to it closer... (as an aside I'm probably going to stay with the default music player as I like its integration and swiping capabilities), but it looks like I can use tasker to replicate a feature I did like from poweramp (launch automatically when headset is plugged in), and the keep backlight on... guess I'll give it a whirl.
Thanks again.
edit: Stumbled through setting up the task I wanted related to the music player this morning.
Worked brilliantly. Thanks!
Default music player often displays glitchy, flickering album covers. It looks like it's trying to load them and having difficulty. Anyone else witness this or have a fix? It seems to happen more often than not, and I haven't been able to identify any one particular activity or group of activities that sets it off. See video.
I had the same issue the last time I opened up the music app. IIRC, I reset but forgot about it until I read your post. As of now, it's fine. Not sure what was causing it. Guess I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

Clear data in Music settings... Viola!
I have this problem too. Clear data helps but problem always returns.
And its not just the album art, its also playback sequence sometimes.
I couldn't find a copy of 3.0.2 to download, and reinstall, wondering if that would help.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I've got the same issue. I just use poweramp instead, it sounds better anyway. The stock player is a little thin sounding in comparison.
I have album issues with Google Music Beta music only. Not much an issue imo though. Do you look at album art when you listen to music?

Same for me. Flickering album art, and playback will just stop randomly. Amazon mp3 app will also just stop playing once in a while, too. I do not have Google Music Beta; for the Android Music player I am playing from local files. With Amazon mp3 I'm streaming from my cloud drive. Annoying.

I don't really view album art, but when it flickers I can't select an artist/album or even properly scroll. Also, it's just a really basic stability blunder. How hard is it to render some album art? My iPad buddies laugh at the default music player on eee Pad and I sadly have to agree. Almost no customization options either.
Edit: I'll give Winamp a try, and if that doesn't pan out, perhaps cough up the $5 for Poweramp.

I have tried them all well not exactly but most the ones people recommend, none the less I had problems with the stock one doing the same thing. Sometimes it would play a song then sometimes it would just be silent, any way I tried the playerpro trial version same as full version just only last 5 days. any way it and dsp pack for it has proved to be the best so far plays anything, and had allot of sound adjustment. No I don't work for them lol just my 2 cents

PowerAmp continues to be my favorite. Though it seems like there's a bug related to scanning each time the app is launched that was causing me some issue. Disabled that option and everythings good.
I use playerpro, like the features, get missing album covers, no issues. The widget is awesome, try it, it is free. The app is well supported.

I have this exact problem. It isn't quite clipping but whenever there is a crescendo it only ramps up partway and then gets mushy as though there is a normalizer running. The consistency with which it does this has me thinking as though each frame in the MP3 is being decoded at a different level!
I've always liked Archos software for video and I'd love to get this running on the Note 10.1 but it sin't compatible.
Has anyone tried to side load it?
If I purchase it for one of my compatible devices, how would I pull it out and get it over to my Note 10.1?
Yeah.
Works great - looks great BUT... I actually use VLC beta might not look as good but plays everything!

Ya sure when I get home I'll test one for you. .I bought the extra codecs but it didn't help. .

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
have you tried the stock player. it plays almost everything and the stock player widget displays the last viewed video (kinda like archos, i still have my 101 and still thin it was the best media player until this tablet came along).
man, just check out the app and it reminds me of the old 101 media player that i loved. might have to snatch it up and hope the fix up some of the problems.
bought it an tested it. i'll keep it since it merges the functions of mizuu along with a decent player. it's not as good as stock since you can't use the entire screen (it doesn't hide the bottom bar). it also chokes on a few videos. i haven't check the media info to see what it could be that makes it stutter, however going into preferences and selecting "force software accel" fixes that. given that bs player doesn't seem to use that more more in hardware vs software accelleration i'm hoping archos does the same.
there's no widget like in the old verion on my a101 and there's no way to select default folders. it automatically searches for the files, but like mizuu you can search a db to grab media info and then it'll organize the files into tv or movies.
so far i've played wmv, avi, flv, mkv and mp4. the only problem was one mkv that i had to force software playback. it good and worth the $5, but i'm not sure it'll replace samsung's default payer just yet.
There is a free All Codec for Archos package in Play Store. After using it, Archos plays everything.
I use Archos actually, since it plays 1080p MKV HD material without stuttering like MX Player does for me. Will go for VLC tomorrow, I will have a look if there is this problem with HD material.
Love the ui, havent experienced anything like it, its beautiful. The problem is that when I tried it, it failed to output hdmi, there was no video just black screen. That and the fact that it doesnt uses the full screen keeps this from being the best imo. Stock player works wonders and does what its supposed to do but not as pretty.

i agree completely. it's got the best ui of any media player i've used, but no other app besides the stock player can use the whole screen.
on another note, my nook hd+ is the inly tabket that plays netflix in full screen. i wonder why gn101 doesn't.
Unfortunately it didn't pick up any of the videos I have at all so its not much good to me. They're all on an external sd which is the only possible reason I can think of, anyone else had the same issue?
When I click on the icon at the right in Archos, I get fullscreen, no problems so far, tested with 1080p mkv
What it makes better than VLC for me is UPnP/DLNA and SMB(!!!) support, that VLC doesn't have so far by now. Since I have several Synologys in my LAN, I want to use them and not my computer as streaming host.
I decided to give it a try since it is on sale today for $2.50. I cannot figure out how to port it from my GS3 to my Note 10.1. Both are rooted and have TiBu.
I have already tried to backup the app on my GS3, move it to the Note and restore it via TiBu but maybe I chose the wrong options because it did not work.
How did you get it into the Note 10.1?
