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!

I bought on my note 2 and transferred a titanium backup over. .however. .I find mx player better and more built in codecs..
It looks nice but functions poor

Can you tell me if it plays mp4?
Can't you purchase extra codecs? I use mvideoplayer now but really wanted to play around with the Archos player.

Ya sure when I get home I'll test one for you. .I bought the extra codecs but it didn't help. .
It pays everything I put on it but like mkv for example. .it stutters and jitters..

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?

Hi All
After much thinking, reading and youtubing, I decided to take the jump and buy a nexus s yesterday from the carphonewarehouse.
Upon opening my nexus s it was obvious the phone had been used (preloaded apps and lots of dust under screen cover) . I took it back and got a replacement pronto.
Turned it on and WOW, the screen is just amazing, WOW, I thought my htc desire omled was good but this is much! Much! better.
My question:
On my htc desire I was able to upload movies and shows, I’d downloaded, some were hd quality , and play them with no problems without any file conversions etc...
I can’t get the same files to play on my nexus s,
Is there any way to play these files (avi, mpegs, divx etc) without converting files as that is very time consuming. Is there any player in android market which may help?
Thanks for your help
PEACE
I'm guessing there's no way but to convert the files?
If so can any one recommended a reliable program or way to convert the vids?
Peace

Download one of the following:
- VPlayer
- RockPlayer
- MPlayer
..etc
on the market. Only thing that doesn't work for me are 720p videos, they stutter but DivX standard works fine. Really need the codecs ported to the Nexus S for 720p video playback :|

no problem rock player is my choice as well, I've always preferred it. VPlayer is a pretty good alternative as well (trial version). But why buy VPlayer, there are many alternatives out there and it doesn't really have features to distinguish itself from others to justify buying it. I'm personally waiting for VLC for Android to come out.
Can't wait for VLC for Android to come out, it should be out early this year (as reported by several websites). Hopefully no delays and will enable 720p playback without stutter on Nexus S (or ported codecs.. one feature i miss from the Galaxy S series)
I've paid for and used both rockplayer and vplayer. But rockplayer sucked on the droid x after version 1.2 and vplayer hiccups a little too often. Lately I've been using vitalpayer and soulplayer. Both are available for free from the market and actually seem better than both the paid rockplayer and vplayer.
Then I came across this new video player yesterday and I have to say, it's the best player I've tried. The UI is very slick and user-friendly, especially the file manager aspect. It also plays every file I've thrown at it (but haven't tried mkv's yet) and has both hardware and software decode mode. (Just remember to long press on video file to select software decode mode).
It's still in beta testing and says its limited to a certain number of testers but I was able to sign up directly from the app without issue. You have to provide an email address for testing purposes (I'm assuming) so if you're not comfortable with providing its, this app is not for you. But for me, it was a no brainer.
Awesome app.

Should work on all high-end ARM V7 CPU Android devices
Would give credit but don't know who to give credit too. Will update when I do. Enjoy!
So, good chance this will become a paid app eventually?

Probably. But like I said, I've paid for several other players so, if it's as good as it been, I'll probably pay for this one as well.
THanks!

i really liked this app.. high power rendering.. can render a mkv file of 180 mb and not too bad fps too for the same.. but the audio video sync is little buggy.. i think it needs to be fixed... else its a wonderful and the best app available as a multi format video player!!
Very nice player, best I'd ever tested. But I don't like the License violation of ffmpeg. :/
For you Reference, It supports low end devices as well,
http://www.moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html#download
It requires registration(closed beta). I tried it. It does not play wmv files and even HD flv file ( where vitalplayer plays it nicely )
But UI is appealing !
Wao..! This is much nicer than vPlayer.. in terms of UI. Like the vol and brightness control on the right and left side.. making tweaking them a breeze!
I was reluctant to try moboplayer because it requires registration. But rockplayer was made much worse since version 1.2, after part of the original team left for moboplayer. vplayer is now free for Chinese users but it has a lot of decoding problems and random crashes. UM Player (悠米解霸) is barely usable at all.
In my case, moboplayer has by far the best video decoding (smoothness and artifects) for universal players I ever used/tried, and the best file management (though still minimal):
moboplayer >> rockplayer (below 1.2) > rockplayer (1.2 and above) > vplayer >> umplayer
My only problem with moboplayer now is the forced update. I understand the reasons behind but it just don't feel good being forced. I'd rather pay a few bucks for peace.
for me mVideoplayer is still best
AlsonBC : its stupid and wrong to say : render mkv
I have never needed another video player. I download music videos mostly in mp4 format and they play fine on the stock video player on SGS running froyo. Is there any SGS user here? Recommending another video player?
For others, is the stock video player not good enough?
i got the sgs vibrant and there are still some videos i can't play with some players...this one comes close but one video i play can't hear the audio...is a mkv format..
gotta say really like this player - does the job nicely
resuming, subtitle support, HD support (on the Galaxy S), MKV
excellent
Thanks!
I still use rockplayer(beta). Can anyone say this moboplayer is better?
Rockplayer(beta) does good for me except for +2GB wmv files, where I lose any ability to FF or REW.

Anyone tried a 720/1080p mkv movie with it yet?
Also, is there any list on compatible formats?
This is really good. Most video players I've tried have problems on my 2.2 nook color. However this plays perfectly. Thanks!
Nice work, Thank you
A friend of mine recorded a video with her Samsung Captivate, and sent it to me via e-mail.
I can't play it on my phone. ("Sorry, this video cannot be played.")
I am able to play the video on my PC, and I transferred it to my phone's SD Card using a USB cable and Mass Storage Mode.
I have the default video player installed, nothing extra and fancy.
I would think that there wouldn't be any problems playing the video on my phone since it was created on a phone.
I know there are other video apps out there, and I would love a recommendation for one that I can set as default and lose the built in video playback.
I would prefer to fix the built in player however.
I'm running KD1, stock, odexed, rooted.
If you're looking for a player. I like double twist. Easy to use in my opinion and I never encountered a problem

My phone is stock and won't play mp4's or mp3's. It has been doing this for about a week since my last ota.
My phone will play Mp4s, but only if they are recorded on my phone. If it came from someone else's phone, I may as well forget it. Very frustrating.
Slinger, you have to be careful since even if a file is a ".mp4" it might be encoded with a different codec. Our phones support MP4 files with a x264 codec for video and AAC audio. If the file you're trying to play isn't in that format, the default player won't accept it.
You can download Rockplayer Lite to play most other formats:

Thanks for the tip. So is the encoding on Captivate different? (that would explain a lot.)

Captivate encoding is the same as the vibrant, meaning the file should play on the galaxy s 4g. If I had a captivate or vibrant I would test it out and report back.

This is kind of random, but my sister has the same problem on her vibrant. She downloaded launcher 7 to try it out and all of a sudden her videos played again...nothing else was changed.

Hello all,
I have finally made the jump into the honeycomb hideout from my rather comfortable gingerbread house (deck's stable evo build). On GB, the qqplayer was/is the perfect media player for most of my needs, plays mkvs,ogm,subtitles. On the newest update on our 7.0+'s, the player installs fine and can play videos that are placed on the internal storage (the program doesn't see the microsd for whatever reason), but the settings cannot not be accessed to change anything. I thought that the bottom status bar was hiding the options, but even with the bottom bar hidden with Honeybar, no options appear. I installed Rockplayer too, but had the same issue on not being able to access any options. At least Rockplayer sees the microsd and can play from it, although it won't find/play the embedded softsubs, like the qqplayer.
So, what media players are people using that work? Or can anyone think of a workaround?
I've been using MX Player, though I just picked one and it worked for 1080p mkv so I didnt bother looking further
found one!!!
I tried MX, it plays files, but didn't support internal subs. I have found a damn near perfect player, "mvideoplayer" version 2.91. Plays 720p mkv's with internal subs no problem.
Also there is Dice Play which let you play additional format regardless of system codecs
Have you tried Mobo?

I just bought my 2 kids 7 inch tabs and I put some movies on them but when I go into the video player it had some commercials that every time I delete them they come back. I could just have them use gallery cause they are not there but the video player shows the title of the movies where gallery does not. I have not rooted them but does anyone know if I can find them with out rooting. The titles of them are just random letters and numbers.

sounds like an issue with the media player you are using. personally i would just purchase the full version of it or get something like mx player or vlc
You could root and install AdFree... but that would only help if they are downloaded from the Internet as opposed to being stored on the device.
