Is it possible to change the default video player for Netflix?
What do you mean?
Netflix provides its own client app for android.
There are mods to the Netflix client app, but all of them originally comes from Netflix I believe.
I believe that the Netflix client plays streaming movies through the default android video player. The same player used when playing movies loaded on sdcard. So my question is can you change that to a different player such as mobo player to improve quality of picture? Many of these software based playes handle the higher bitrate streaming better.

I've been searching for a great video player for the TMO TP2 but some don't do it for me. Is there a way to set the installed video player that plays the Youtube to play all video including streaming. It might not have all codes to handle every media type but maybe there is a hack or cab to solve this waste of a great player.
Yea i love that player too. the only way i can watch the movies on my media card with that player is by going into the media album and when i open a video from there it uses the youtube player. would love to watch streaming videos with it as well.
How do I get to the other video player? Everytime I open a video file it opens with wmp. Ive been searching for a free good video player to play all my files.
In terms of quality Plex can't be beaten for streaming video. I can play a 1080p MKV with DTS audio and have it reencoded on-the-fly from my PC to my TF at 5Mbit and it looks awesome (Sound is a bit iffy though). I tried a few other streamers like VLC, Androstream, Qloud etc and they all sucked.
I'm still looking for a player that supports embedded .ass subs. Playing the files directly off a Windows share is not very good either as none of the players can play AC3/DTS in MKV and 1080p is no go. Dice player sort of looked promising but all the videos I tested it with would freeze up after a few seconds.
Video playback is the TF's weakest point IMHO. It's OK if you want to stream stuff though which is why I am looking for something better than Plex.
How did you get Plex to work? I'm on Windows 7 64bit and the media server isn't working right. It sends me to the browser when I try to click on it and then has a connection error.
Hi all,
I'm looking to play 720p mkv hi10p videos with embedded subtitles on my Nexus 7. I'll probably want to be doing this by streaming it off a computer or accessing a Samba share.
Does anyone know if this is possible?. Trying to toss up my purchase with the knowledge that its easy / do-able to watch tv shows, movies and things like anime.
Cheers!
I'm just downloading vPlayer to see how it works with my Serviio server. I'll let you know how it goes.
the latest beta VLC player worked for me, was having abit hit or miss with mxvideo player but VLC just played everything i threw at it off my western digital tv live hub.
I tested a 720p hi10p video yesterday using MX Player Pro, no streaming over air.
A couple of frame drops, cannot handle panning scenes very well.
Styled subtitles however look ace, I haven't bothered to check out advanced typesetting though.
Have been exploring the ability on my phone with ES explorer and different media players. 8 bit 720p mkvs work perfectly. 10 bit just falls about for me though on a GNEX with just about every player. Obviously there is a difference in processing power though.
Keen to know if anyone gets it working / how (even if its a solution like PLEX).
Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a video player available playing movies even smoother than bs player does.
VLC ain't the best choice as there are blocks during playback, even the sound is async.
My test files are big buck bunny, gopro hero3 teaser, some mkv samples of movies. All 1080p.
They all run quite smooth with bs player, but sometimes there are hangs irritating me. Zooming in to fill screen works well with 1920*1080 but with 1920*800 it's a mess, because it fills the height than the width.
I got the slimport adapter from amazon. Theoretically it should be able to play 7.2 sound. All I get from 5.1 ac3/dts movies is 2.0 at my av receiver.
What player do you guys use to watch movies on your N4 with full feature support?
cheers

AWSM!
MX player is what i've searched for, even with ffmpeg for dts :good:
Did you get audio passthrough with slimport working? My N4 seems to downmix the ac3/dts channel, so I am not able to decode it with my receiver instead.
vlc player is not bad:>

Good question. I couldn't find any information on this either. One thing I'm going to try tonight is the Antutu Video Tester app. It downloads a video pack of dozens of different codecs and tests playback ability as well as the quality of playback. Should be interesting.
I can say from experience that when running XBMC I've been able to play video_ts folders (DVD rips) and MKV.. The only issue I ran into with video_ts folders was that it took upwards of 10 seconds to start play, and sometimes up to 30-40 seconds to return to the movie list when hitting stop.. MKV play without a hitch and are very snappy.
Hope this helps.
You can add VP9 and H265 to this as per asus site:

Very good news as I use WebM extensively with my current Chromecast and Vorbis audio. Will be nice to use VP9!
I'm really getting tired of seeing so many articles claim that the Nexus Player can use VP9. Maybe it technically can, but it effectively never does, especially not on YouTube where it's needed most and makes the most sense. Anyone know how to force vp9 in the YouTube app?
