i got an HTC one x device recently and i tried to play a HD movie on it it was 720p BRRip x264 AAC. the movie played smoothly, but the was a problem every time i try to forward the movie to a certain time it skips to a completely different time i tried to install 3rd party programs, still didnt help. so any one know what's the problem?
P.S : my device it up to date and running on android 4.1.1
if u need more info just ask and ill reply as fast as i can. thanks
I personally use a third party app for movies and stuff due to more codec avail . There is a couple good players out there, I use mx player , I think there is vlc player for android, do a little searching around and you should be real happy with another player
Edit: try it on diff movies it may just be that video

Hi, I have been a winmo user, now I am thinking of getting a x10 (it comes with android 1.6) from rogers next week. I often watch familyguy at work from my phone (I own x1 and pls dont tell my boss ). I was wondering that if I buy a x10 will it be able play divx videos? Is it only samsung phones which can play videos? Do I have to buy the player?
Sorry if all Android phones can play divx and this sounds like a stupid question. All my friends either have Iphone or blackberry, so there was no way to know. I kind of saw somewhere that samsung phone has official divx codex or something like that, that is why I wanted to be sure before buying.
currently only samsung phones can play divx. its a feature samsung programs imto their android version. if you want general android to play divz then check divx.com for updates. also you can check out third party video players but afaik no divx android players exist.

do a search for Wuzhenhua it's not perfect but it's free.
im really suprised no one has created a decent media player for android yet

huh....... there is no divx player for Android
Well I will try yxflash then.
No there is no current "good" divx player, i tried yxflash it was jittery, and i tried Wuzhenhua with the same result as yxflash.
This was a major disappointment for me too (i just bought a Nexus one) and had been using Windows mobile to play my divx videos for a few years.
Im waiting on Coreplayer for android.

Doesn't look like it will be any time soon though.
So you probably will have to convert your videos that you want to watch to .mp4's until coreplayer or a better divx player comes out.

Unless they're writing the player and codec in C, it's ALWAYS going to be jittery. A java codec just isn't fast enough.
"yxflash" works great on my Acer Liquid S100.
It play everything: .AVI .DIVX . in the best quali.
I read a few weeks ago, probably on xda, that someone had just compiled xvid via the NDK. Of course a player still needs to be written/modified to make use of it, but at least this shows there's some hope.
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)
what would be the best free video player to play recorded video from the G2 on windows 7? mostly mpeg-4 and 3gp because both play on windows media player but one of them only plays video and not the sound. i forget which format does that but would i need to install any additional codecs to make it work without downloading 3rd party app?? thank you.

Hi,
I am looking for a movie player for android which can play from latest point of the movie event application closes...
MX Player
Sent from my Blade using xda premium
I think every player from market has the ability u mentioned (resume last play)
vplayer also supports which i like best.
I personally use moboplayer and this works well with multiple files as well (stop half way through two seperate files and the resume will continue from last point on both - or more)
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?
