I try different stream players from the Android Market but no one works fine. I have 2 players with streams TuneIn Radio, that's a good one with lots en lots of streams all over the world. It's a pitty that you can't add streams. I have also WunderRadio where it's possible to add the stream URL.
But I'm looking for one player not with streams, only a player what plays the stream wher you click on a website with streams like tuned.mobi.com or something and where you can add stream URL's. There are lots of it on the Android Market but lots of don't work. When I click on a stream, it download the .pls file or something and put in my downloadhistory and when I click on it it opens in the standard player but can't play it. I'm looking for a player to play in all stream formats like mp3, WMA, AAC+, .pls, MMS:// etc. There was a good player on Windows Mobile, the TCPMP player. I like an alternative of that player. I hope someone can help me.
I think Tunein radio
X2 tune in is the biz

Yes, I use Tunin Radio but I'm looking for only a player what play streams in many stream formats (mp3, wma (windows media files), .pls extensions, aac+, etc. etc.) and where you can add streams to your favorites.
I like streamfurious. Pro is expensive, probably not worth it with how the dev is (Not lazy, but not communicative either, doesn't update too often).
But once installed, it should all you to load a url in the app. If it does not work, the url in the browser should. (I have a custom m3u playlist, it loads from the browser, and streamfurious takes it from that point, adding it to its list).
I might not sound very positive about it, but I really do love the app.
Try XiiaLive Light in the market.

If you're on android 2.2+ Winamp has built in shoutcast which streams many radio stations. The stations are also listed in genres which is handy. Winamp also plays music on your phone better than the stock app.
XiiaLive is the best in my opinion.
Winamp is nice, but it has a few bugs in it, and I couldn't get it to automatically resume playing after calls, or on a dropped connection/buffer.
Xiilive and Winamp I try them both but no player works fine for me. I don't want a player with lots of standard stream but only a player, nothing more, nothing less. Winamp have lots of bugs and can't stream the channels in the shoutcast directory and also not Window Media Player. Also the option with clickable links in the browser are not working. I'm looking for a player what can play windows media streaming formats like asx, wma mms:// etc. and who have a the posibility for clickable streams on websites in the browser.
Motorala music player ist good for streaiming radio
I'm having pretty good luck with bsplayer, for both audio and video streams. bsplayer even seems to be able to seek direct mp3 streams, which most other players seem to either not be able to do, or do not do correctly. requires byte-range server support, of course.

Di radio is great if you like house music.

I second this. The recommendation of xiialive was so "understated", though, that I almost didn't take it seriously... after trying every other app that anyone suggested, and having them ALL fail completely. Well, JustPlaylists was able to play some pls files (never m3u, though). These posts (this complaint) are so old, though, that I lost hope that any app could manage this BASIC functionality. Even the n7player (full trial version) was a complete fail. Xiialive works fantastically well, though. Plays all pls and m3u files, whether local or on a webpage. Plus, the rest of the app is very well done, as well. I love the alarm feature , which allows you to schedule a "program change". You can make this recur on any selected day(s), as well. I set it so that it automatically starts playing Mind Over Matters at 9am (EST) on Sat and Sun, then switches to KPFA at noon. The list of "built-in" stations is extensive (there are 2 different "repositories", which I don't fully understand, but the advanced one contained all the stations I wanted (WORT, KEXP, Free Radio Santa Cruz, etc.). Reorganization of stations from the original categorization offered was also simple and intuitive... as is the whole app. I have no connection with this app except as a happy user who was SO glad to find someone, apparently, who can code... not just use the limited android media functions.
Is there a music player app that handles m4a chaptering? A podcast I listen to uses it to make navigating through the hour+ podcast easier, but I haven't come across a media player for android yet that supports this in an obvious way. Any ideas?

This is something Cyanogen or Koush should DO!!!
Can MX support DLNA? This is useful!
The best app for that is BubbleUPnP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp&hl=en
I also would like to have the Option "inside" MX Player to set my TV as Output Renderer.
For instance, if iam at my Work Break, i watch something, e.g. it has an Extra SRT Subtitle, and iam at a Position inside the Movie lets say 20 Minutes in,
for when i get home, with Bubble PNP i have to search the Video, i have to Jump Forward to the Position i was, only to see, the the SRT File is not there.
I Tried Imediashare, Pixel DMS etc. no one gets it with the SRT´s.
It would be just perfekt, if you could add UPNP as an Output Renderer, like Youtube or Imediashare. Even other Mediaplayers do it nowadays.
thx in advance.
Youtube generally rides on proprietary Chromecast. Also, if you are truly using DLNA/UPnP, using MX Player won't help. When it's sent to the TV or whatever receiving device, the DLNA standard says that the receiving device does all the decoding, meaning that the receiving device needs to accept SRT subs.
Iam just a regular UPNP user, no chromecast, maybe next year with Screencast to chromecast2, so i can beam MXplayer output "as is" to the Stick.
From what i know, long time a go, i used the Samsung PC UPNP software, that came with my old Samsung TV, guess it was something 6000 series.
From that time i remember good, that the PC Software was able to start "feeding" the TV the Stream, at the last known and remembered Position of the Stream I watched e.g. a weeky early,
same as MX player so perfectly does.
Also the Software , as you say, streamed the SRT file to the TV, and this was accepting it. It was one of the main reasons, i bought a samsung in the first place.
so in short.
1. Starting the UPNP Stream at the Position of the File were MX player stands
2. Send the Srt file that is selected inside MX Player (e.g. the downloaded versions) to the TV
3. Remember the Postion the Stream to TV was interrupted (e.g. TV was shutdown)
if this is all implemented, MX would be king.
Except, BubbleUPnP already does most, if not all, of that. In fact, you can even use BubbleUPnP to manage your library, and also tell BubbleUPnP to use MX Player when playing files locally on the phone. BubbleUPnP will handle the DLNA streaming to the TV/TV-stick.
The PC software you are describing sounds a lot like what BubbleUPnP does on Android.
Tagging @bubbleguuum as perhaps he can comment a but further on what BubbleUPnP can do.
P.S. Hi bubbleguuum! You may or may not remember that MX Player forums used to be on Google Groups, but since last year we've moved to XDA Shout-out to @ktsamy for getting MX Player its own subforum.
I Still dont get, how i would use MX Player in conjuction with BubbleUPNP ?
from what i understand, these are two seperate Video Players, MX is for Phone, and Bubble is Phone and Stream to TV.
You make it sound, like i could/should use both simultaneously ? How would that work in real life ?
Thx for your help.
Within BubbleUPnP, you can specify the local renderer as MX Player.
yeah i tried that, but that is only helping bubblepnp to render the file locally to be able to read the file and then be able to stream it.
I want it the other way arround. I would like MX player to use Bubbleupnp as the intermediate Program to stream to the TV.
Cuz only then i have my last "MX player" known Starting Position inside the video.
If Bubbleupnp searches the Files in File structure, it always start from the beginning of the file, and have to search by hand, where i might was in MX Player.
or can i get bubbleupnp to read out that info out of MX player to jump to the time withing the videofile ? i guess not ?
thx for the help
You should ask that question in BubbleUPnP's support thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14610073
So, somehow, through my involvement or not, i got em to implement some "resume" feature into his Streaming upnp.
But heres the bummer, its useless for my scenario (wich is really so weird ?)
Bubbleguuum: The video resume feature is only implemented for streaming to external renderers.
For local playback, it's up to the video player app used to eventually implement it at all (eg MX Player does it by default),
but it is entirely separate from BubbleUPnP.
so back to square one, for my "local playing and resume later on TV" dreams.
could you maybe make an API for MX, were bubbleguuum could crawl the MX local resume time data for a given file ?
so he could maybe ask for "resume last local time, or External Rendering time", and than resumes at the Time MX Player Throws at em ?
thx for your patience
That sounds like a stretch usage case, as then you would still have MX marked as incomplete, even though you've finished watching whatever it is on the TV via BubbleUPnP.
not if Bubbleupnp could save its resume time back to MX Player over your API.
And it was just a suggestion, to how to solve "my?" problem, of not beeing able, to stream from MX Player to my TV.
I dont want the struggle with Bubbleupnp. I just want, that MX Player could stream something, dont care if i have to buy a googlecast stick, or what ever device. But now i am just stuck, with 2 Programs, doing the same thing. one is now also resuming, nice. but not local ?
and MX player is only resuming local. wth, thats now the end of it ? why isnt MX Player capable of Stream to an external renderer ?
is watching on TV and Mobile such an awkward usage case ? Thx anyway, seems like i am just a dreamer.

Native streaming is something that is on the developer's eventual todo list already. As to his status, I don't know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-chromecast-t2725253
ahhhh thx. only thing is, that this thread started like 2014. so is there really hope. i dont know, at least, iam not alone anymore with my wish. Maybe with chromecast 2 comin out, MX Streaming development is finished dont know why bubbleupnp is working, and MX not. Its really silly to sit in front of a 55 TV holding your phone, to watch stuff. thats some kind of 2nd screen generation
thx for your patience. iam off
