Does anyone know how to enable ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha) subs on the sgs default player? The player works perfectly with mkv files but so far I cant figure out how to get it to display subtitles (yeah im using it to watch fansubbed anime).
Or is there a free player anyone reccommends? Cheers.
mVideoPlayer

is the best, auto resize to aspect ratio too
Aye, using that myself as well. It's just not the same. To be honest, I really like the inbuilt movie player, and I just can't get myself familiarized with mVideoPlayer.
I use mVideoPlayer also. You don't have to sync the app database with your videos. Just play the selected video with it and that's all
It's Very good APP, supports even Cyrillic!

how is that different?
play, pause, forward, backward....
use finger to slide left right to the scene you want to see
so natural to use
Using it is pretty self explanatory, except that it doesnt seem to seek as well as the default player.
And if I seek around too often, the subtitle dissappears lol.
The OmniaII player was meant to have subtitle support but it was buggy as hell (either that or it has a strict spec for subs). That phone drove me nuts anyway lol

Yes, it is difficult for them. As A Linux user, I can attest to this; proprietary/patented codecs cause licensing issues, pure and simple. Therefore, they can not be included in Vanilla (Open-Source) Android. And given that the point of the Nexus line is that they run Vanilla Android, you see the issue.
You can help solve this problem by converting your videos to open formats like Ogg Theora and/or WebM. That way, you can play your videos, and you help reduce the trend of technology being hampered by proprietary licensing. </rant>

I just dragged and dropped a 4GB mp4 movie and watched it on the phone with no issue. Are you sure you video isn't using some other form of compression?
remember .mp4 is just a container
So let me get this right ... there is no way to play divx / avi files even using 3rd party software?!
They are currently working on making rockplayer work on the Nexus S.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'm right now watching an episode of Mad Men that I ripped from my DVD using Handbrake on Ubuntu. It's an .mp4 container, and if I recall correctly I used H.264...
.mp4 will play just fine, it can be a baunch of different ways though because thats just the container, best program I have found period is Any Video Converter Pro. Just select Mobile devices/ Google Phones/ Nexus One. Perfect fit to screen and great quality. All it needs to be to run great is .h264, AAC audio, 800 x 480, about 1200 bitrate for video and 160kbps for audio and it will look and sound stunning. Most video players except mVideo Player are broken in someway on the Nexus S.
Rocklplayer has been updated on the website but not yet in the market. It now plays an AVI file on my Nexus S.

That's good to hear. All in sync and with no issues whatsoever?
i know this has been discussed but i think that it is freaking ridiculous that we cant play all video types on the so called worlds most powerful smartphone. it should play all formats stock
Okay. So did you have a question like, "Does anybody know of an app that will play ___ video format"? Were optimizing our devices here at XDA, not complaining about them.
I agree....thus I have installed arcMedia 4 my mkv's. Seems pretty good. Plays my 720p copies quite nice.....however...thru wehtop on a 42" with webtop mob the playback is slightly stuttered from time to time....still tolerable to me though.

what is the best player? i tried qqplayer,no results
Qqplayer seems to play everything.

I can see it just fine searching for it on the market.
There is another thread talking about how to use handbrake to convert movies to a format that the atrix will play natively.

That would I also like to know.
Edit: Mostly for the .sub files. I have tried Mobo, Rock, QQ, and Vitalplayer and none of them supports .sub files as far as I can see.
I use rockplayer for my series n movies, srt files are working well.
Yes +1 for the mobo player.
I use dvd Fab for all my movies,it also gives you the option to hard encode subtitles in the movie file.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I can confirm Moboplayer supports SRT subtitles. As best I can tell, it looks at your video's filename, and then looks for the same filename except ending in .SRT. ALL CAPS file extention was the only way I could get it to work. Good luck!

mx video player. Avi file with srt greek subs. works perfect.
another person for mx player
I've tried about every player available -- BSPlyer Lite, VPlayer, MoboPlayer. MX Player is all around the best - the only player that streams avi movies from SMB share (used with FS File Explorer). I also like MoboPlayer.
I believe the best player for Tegra 2 is DicePlayer - paid ARM 7. It sucks that the paid version is not available and who knows, may never be available from Android Market. VLC is still in beta - looking forward to that one!
Does anyone know what's going on with Dice? Seems like they pissed someone at Google off...
+1 to MX Player, plays everything I have thrown at it, if not in H/W then in S/W mode. Loads subs, dims buttons and resumes play even from LAN.
Guys this thing is intriguing me, i cant natively play divx avi files? My LG 2X does it, how come my tablet with an huge screen don't?

Another thing you could do which some people have tried is to change the file extension to mp4, which will play with the native player. I think DivX is just a 'container' format which contains MP4 video so it should work in theory, although I haven't tried this on my TF myself.

plenty of players out there for DIVX/XVID. I think some manufacturers just bundle extra players or codecs. i dont think support is in 'native' Android.

1080p video encoded using the DivX (or XviD) codec is really inefficient. It's going to be a lot larger file size or of lower quality than a more modern codec like h.264. If you'd like to play 1080p video on your transformer, you'd be best to transcode your video to an h.264 video stream. Not only will the file size be much smaller, but it will play back using hardware acceleration which is much more likely to be smooth than software rendered DivX.
Rockplayer, Moboplayer, etc are all the same thing. They're just containers for ffmpeg--which is the best free software decoder available. Pick the one that has the best interface and is free. Paying for any of these is actually against the law, and while you're not going to get in any trouble, it's stupid to pay for something that should be free.

The arm7 codec is for Tegra 2 processor. It will install the codecs but if you don't have a Tegra2 processor theres no real point. I know this as I need to install the arm7 codecs for my Acer A501 but have installed them on my SGS3 too. I deleted them with no difference in playing videos from the S3. They are not needed and aren't used by anything other than the ARM7 cpus... Waste of space and time installing them...
MX Player is great! Have you tried switching to software mode? Usually if it doesn't play in HW mode then SW mode fixes it.
I've stopped updating it since version 1.6f. That was the last version that still had DTS audio support and it still works great!!

Yeah, software decoding is good but I prefer HW decoding for video and SW decoding for audio. Works brilliantly well... :laugh::good:

I have yet to run across any video to stock video player will not play. What type of problems are you running into you with a stock video player?
I have had a few where a weird rip has happened for audio. Video plays and audio won't on stock player. I tend to use avi, mp4, matroska(mkv) and other video files but depending on how they were ripped I find certain players work well and others don't. I've also found some of the larger files use the cpu intensively for video and audio goes out of sync. Software for audio seems to fix this...
Most files work on the stock player but it's annoying to find one you can't play...
