Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there are ways to pinch to zoom on videos in players such as Vplayer or Rockplayer? I'm not talking about the default zoom functions in the player itself.. but something more customizeable?
not that i know of
but the built in zoomfunction of rockplayer is good enough i'd say (its the most left icon case u wonder where to look)

Act1 video player has a full screen option... don't think you can actually zoom in on a video in stock media player.
Hey guys, I'm wondering... I can pretty much play everything with the stock Samsung video player, even 720p MKVs (would that be due to hardware H264 acceleration on the Hummingbird?), but I've been thinking... those other players, like VPlayer and RockPlayer seem pretty popular. Are they any better in quality, compatibility or take a lighter hit on battery? Are they worth my time and money?
I believe they just give you more options like playlists and such. I personally have never found any need to download a third party player to date.
Pretty sure those exist because most android phones do not have the codec support the vibrant has out of the box. I haven't felt the need to get it.
mVideoplayer is the best third-party app among the bunch imho. It has playlist options, slide finger across the screen to forward/rewind instead of steady press on a button and such. Tap on one side to bring up volume rocker, tap on the other side for brightness settings, and on another for bookmarking a scene. Plus it remembers the scene from which you stopped watching on each and every video you have - which the native video player does only for the current video you are watching
And one more thing, it has better zoom options than the stock player. Some videos i downloaded via youtube play full screen where the native player only plays it with a letter-box.
I prefer the QQplayer: support also avi-files and srt-files
MoboPlayer is the best!

i use only the stock video player, but I cant play .mov files, so I have to use rockplayer
Also the stock player won't play .flv files

My stock player plays them just fine...
Any player that will work with files having 6 channel audio? I could never find one.
Mobo is king of players, if it can't do it none can.

Hello xda. I'm looking for a photo application that is similar to the photo board app that can be found for ipad. Its a multi touch table format photo viewer with resizing and cool effects. Also I'm looking for a video player that supports .avi format videos. I know there are lots, but not all work very good. Arc media doesn't with very well and vplayer is buggy. Thanks!
P.s. any other graphically cool apps that use multitouch to take advantage of the large screen? (Multi pane web browsing?)
When playing back an MP4 file stored locally (or streamed from my network) I can only get the video to play in portrait mode (pretty small). Is there any way I can rotate the playback to landscape and have it fill the screen? I've tried the ES Media Player and the default media player but can't seem to rotate the damn thing. Transformers obviously works in landscape mode, so why won't my MP4s?
I've been searching for a simple solution to this problem but it would appear there isn't one. I haven't tried Ultimate Rotation App because I've read there were a host of other problems with it causing videos to skip and I'm not sure it would do what I need anyway. Is there a native solution, or a better media player that will play my MP4s in landscape/full screen mode?
The particular MP4 I'm testing is x264 and less than 720P.
Thanks in advance.

About the only thing other than the No Sd Card, No mini Htmi output, More memory, etc,etc, lol. The lack of native auto rotation is a Pain.

This is actually very simple and doesn't require downloading anything at all. From any of the main menu pages swipe down from the top right corner and tap the "auto rotate" in the center of the pull down menu and unlock it. The device makers thought that the rotate function should be locked by default on most main pages except the provided movie player.
Hi everyone,
On any phone I have had to date, videos from the browser that I wanted to watch in full screen mode were played through a video player app. On the essential phone, they seem to be played within the browser still (tried chrome, Firefox, and others). The video quality is pretty poor this way and I was wondering if there was a no frills video player that could be configured Las the default app for watching full screen streaming videos from the browser, and how that would be configured.
I hope this makes sense. I was surprised to see no threads on this topic but I suppose the grainy video doesn't bother other people, or a solution has been found an I'm not using the right terminology.
Any guidance would be appreciated
Most any video player you had on those other phones would work with this one. I've not seen any issues with video playback but... "My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent."
I've downloaded several video player apps (mx player, vlc, sbs player, etc), but none of them will play the video in the browser unless I download it. On my Samsung s8, if I choose full screen on a video in chrome it will ask what video player I want to use, and I select Samsung video player to be the default. This doesn't happen on the essential phone.
When I download it, the quality is as poor as it is in the browser full screen mode. My guess on that is the resolution for the essential phone is being reported in metadat or something to chrome so it is downloading the video in the only encoding it can find that would support that dimension. That's a total guess, but it's the only thing I can think of that's very unique about the ph-1. Is there a way to disable the full screen mode or tell the browser that my display has different, more standard dimensions?
