I normally use diceplayer for all my videos but it doesnt seem to play ball with this phone.
Which player are you guys using?
Not sure if MX Player works but that is what I often use. The device just plays all videos I have asked it to though you access them through the gallery app.
I'm also using MX Player and I could always watch the videos I wanted but I don't watch videos too often.
I'm testing VLC Player now, I always used it on my desktop and wanted to try it on my phone.
Didn't had a chance to use it much so I still don't have a full opinion about it.
MX Player... Also supports X86 specific hardware decoding! Hot... :thumbup:
Thanks will give mx player a try

Same here. I had been a fan of MoboPlayer a a long time ago, but more recently, I had switched to MX Player. Howewer, I just got my Razr i, upgraded it to JB, installed MX Player and the x86 plugin (as requested by the application), but when I tried to use it, it fails straightaway on opening with the following error message:
Unsupported device or component files are corrupted.

So I tried a few other players, most of them horrible and/or slow and/or bad picture quality, when I realised there is a special version of Moboplayer for x86. It works beautifully, fast, low cpu usage and great picture quality. You can get it there:

Does anyone run Razr i with unlocked bootloader? Is it true that the phone looses video playback when unlocking the bootloader?

Is there any video player that supports streaming over Samba?
On iPad I use xbmc but it is not compatible with x86 processor.

I have watched movies over WiFi with MX player. Windows 7 host. Haven't yet watched over off my main Arch Linux host but have not setup samba shares.
same here, watching 720p or even 1080p mkv video with mx player from samba share through wifi without any probems (GB ICS rom). decoding of 1080p is smooth only with hw+ setting, but 720p can be played with sw setting as well.

Hi all,
The stock player plays quite a few files natively but wasn't able to recognize the .mov taken with my friend's DSLR. I used to use MX player with my old phone and it worked great with HW acceleration but when I try to play the .mov (1080p) on the Note, only SW acceleration is available for the note which is quite choppy and it wont let me install any of the codecs from the market. Does anyone know of any other video players for the Note, or have got MX player working properly? I tried installing the ARMv7 codec on the note, is this the right version?
Thanks in advance,
Shaizer.
Im running DicePlayer which works great.
There's no problem playing mov-files in 1080p, I just tried a 1080p trailer in mov with DicePlayer and it worked perfectly. However I'm not sure what bitrate the your mov-file is?
I have Mx video player installed without any extra codec. Apparently the idea is you only need a codec if it actually asks for it.
I have so far tried various formats mp4, mkv (both 720 & 1080) and it has played them all.
I'm using QQ Player.

I use dice player too. It works great with all my HD/SD videos with subtitles.
Awesome thanks all, will try DicePlayer and see how that goes. The bitrate of my .mov files are 46MBPS I guess its a raw format as it is straight from the camera.
Dice Player plays MKV's flawlessly.

As does MoboPlayer and best of all it's free.
I haven't found Moboplayer quite as good as Dice Player, but I do use it occasionally (it's software decoding is a bit better than Dice Player's).
Also using MoboPlayer; it works well.

Mobo is the only one that works for streaming from my NAS ... except the sound does not work!
No other player I have tried (including the ones mentioned above) will stream at all and I have yet to find one that works with the sound
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.

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.
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

I have some m2ts video format and player by default does not read them.
I tried to convert them but the result is bad.
What is a good player for our TAB?
With what program and what format I could convert them to make the most with the TF700?
thanks

No need to convert. Try BS Player or MX Player.
With MXplayer the video you can see in slow motion as BS player crashes while updating the preview
i found that BS Player works best for me with better HW and SW acceleration
and bette suport for large .mkv files over local network
were as MX Player would lag and have trouble playing DTS and Dolby 5.1 sound
Which version of BSplayer uses for the TF700?

You may need to download some other files from within bs player for the processor to have it play properly. Can't remember for sure it's been a while since I used that player.

As per the Google Play info, only when it tells you to:
BS player:
This is BSPlayer lite CPU support package for <several listed on Google Play> CPU smartphones - not the main app.
You only need this if BSPlayer warns you to install it, also you must have BSPlayer lite installed first.
Main application can be found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free

MX PLayer:
** IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is a software component for MX Player, you should install MX Player first. MX Player will test your device and show you the best matching codec automatically if it is necessary. You do not need to install codecs unless MX Player asks.

What's the best option for playing MKV DTS movies on the TF300? All the new players won't do DTS audio, but I hear that older versions of some software, like Dice will. But, I'm not sure that the older versions will support/use the Tegra 3.
Thanks in advance.

Says it does multi-core decoding. I'd like know how well it plays your mkv files.
MX Player with h/w+ decoding plays mine just fine. I use DSP Manager for all my Audio.
Thx, but VLC doesn't play MKV DTS videos.

So you have no shuttering issues even with 1080p KMV DTS videos?
The shuttering is probably network related as I'm streaming it over WiFi, especially large files.
There's also XBMC for Android, I haven't tried it yet, but going to now: http://xbmc.org/download/
XBMC for Android works but isn't great at playing MKV files, really slow, shuttering.

Have you found a reliable option mate? I tried MX, Dice, VLC and all have problems with DTS. There is an option to use external filters in MX, but its unreliable. I tried several files, with bitrates from 2-3k to 20+k. MX with HW+ encoding plays smoothly, but no sound.
I think I tried SopCast player and it might have played DTS, don't really remember, maybe you can give it a try.
I'm using Galaxy Nexus. If you've found a solution, don't hesitate to PM me.
