Good video player???

Is there any video player like coreplayer on windows mobile? I know there is YXFlash but when I play movie it is not smooth (choppy)...

use meridian , but it will not play divx videos

same here i am missing a good divx player on android !

is it possible to play divx on android?

yes YXFlash works but it;s pay app and options are limited.
Don't understand there isn;t any good FREE player. Android is Linux based so it should be easy...

CorePlayer is working in andoid version but no release date on their tweeater...

i find that 98% of the videos I try to play...video files, video podcasts, and most youtube videos are out of sync.
anyone else has similar issues?

i came from the n900 multimedia powerhouse tablet and this is like a full downgrade lol
in this category anyway

Hmmm this is a bit of a blow.... I was just looking at getting a Legend or maybe Desire but With no decent movie player it could be a non starter
Out of interest I notice that the Legend is similar specs to the HD - how does it compare? anyone had both.... I find the HD sluggish with later WinMo ROMs and Android to be honest.

Rockplayer Plays it all.....
Its in public beta for now.

yeah i was going to say what about rock player, its in public beta but it plays it all. might as well grab it while its free even if it is a tad bit buggy since its a beta. plus i'm pretty sure it plays everything, even divx

didn't rock player use armv7 ? when the legend support only armv6 :\

Rockplayer is working great on my legend so I would say no...

the new rockplayer public beta has support for armv6 / legend

Im glad there is a nice player finally no need to convert that much anymore saves a lot of time
I hope they update it and stays free

What will happen with Rockplayer if the public beta time is over..Anyone know something about this?
1. Will be blocked (unusable), except you pay for it (pay app)?
2. Continue as freeware and with tons of new updates?
I am in desperade of having a good FREE video player. ^o^

Video Player for MP4/Xvid/DivX/etc - RockPlayer

I have been digging around for a video player to use with my Shift that supports XviD and MP3 audio. Well I finally found one called RockPlayer, but it seems like it only works correctly on Sense ROMs. It is built off ffmpeg and works lag free 100% using NFX Shift 2.0, but the latest CM7 starts playing the first 0.5s and then stops. I attached the player APK; maybe some of you can take a look and report back what ROM you are using & your experience. Thanks

rockbox was cool but didnt play anything i had smoothly. i went from the epic (which plays virtually everything) to the shift with plays virtually nothing. i just downloaded arcMedia from the market (free) and it works very well. been watching movies off of it for the last week and never had a problem. this is running awesomerom (sense based).
just my $.02

Thanks for the response & advice. One conclusion from all my tests is that you need a SENSE ROM in order to get proper video playback using MPEG4+MP3. I've tried some ASOPs like CM7, Evervolv, and others, but none work so I will keep on trying until I can release a fix.

Try using MoboPlayer. It's free on the market.

I've used Rockplayer and it's buggy, slow, and won't play all types of files. MoboPlayer is superior in every single way. Plus, it's free. It's the VLC player equivalent for Android haha.

im using vital player and it seems to work fine for me

720p video playback in ICS worse than HC

I saw there was a thread kind of about this but that got derailed...
I'm using Dice Player, MX Player, and BS Player. BS seems to work the best, but still not as good as Dice was back in HC.
Does anyone know if it's just a matter of those apps having to be optimized for ICS?

Well it's not ICS that is killing some 720P file, it's the Tegra...

i find ICS a lot better than HC, but still unable to play high profile 720p mkvs without lag.
DicePlayer is even worse than honeycomb though. MX and BS player are barely watchable.

Have you restarted at least once since upgrading to ICS? I had video issues that went away after restarting.

I'm having similar issues

I can play mkv normally but audio seems to not work.This is using the stock player.

I confirm the same, Bsplayer plays the audio but not the video . As for the Dice it always crashes ! I will lnstall Revolution HD 3 and see if this will play the 720p videos !!!

all those having issues- you need to reboot.
also bare in mind that video playback issues are not the OS's fault, Tegra 2 is underpowered to play video at 720p and 1080p, always has been, always will be.

I disagree , before ics i had revolver and i was able to play 720p without any problem. I rebooted 7 times after the update but still nothing , even the camera stopped working in panoramic mode !

me too, you need to do an ICS reinstall, my video playback is the same as on revolver now.

rebooted around a dozen times between lockups and just actual reboots, i've noticed no difference in any app.
i find it strange that people seem to have very different experiences than me. i have no issues getting them to play, it's just the lag.

do a reinstall of ICS.

i don't mean to be a ****, but in all your posts i see you give nice suggestions, with no help. how about including some help in your future posts.

Seems about the same for me. High profile really tears apart the Tegra2. I love this tablet but man the Tegra2 sucks.

Wtf? You are a member of xda...why do you not no how to install a rom? There are like 5 threads in the dev section on how to install ics .....you want hand holding you should walk up from the basement and ask yer mom...
Not to be a Richard........

yep
tried to played 720P
yestarday
very very choppy
same files that i play usually on HC that plays smooth
i personally reverted back to HC

There was a thread somewhere about best settings for Handbrake for encoding mp4 to suit the Transformer. These are the settings:
"Start with the Regular/Normal Preset
Container: MP4 File
On the Video tab, choose:
Video Codec: H.264
Constant Quality: RF 24 (Lower number is better quality but higher file size, I wouldn't suggest going lower than 20 in this case)
On the audio tab change the Mixdown to "Stereo", bitrate 160
On the Advanced Tab:
Maximum B-Frames: 0
Uncheck "CABAC Entropy Coding"
Uncheck "8x8 Transform"
Uncheck "Weighted P-Frames"
After those changes, you can save these by clicking on Presets -> Save Preset and name it something like "Transformer". "
This is an exact quote of the post, I don't have the original on hand to thank the original poster. But he does deserve my thanks, as this made 720p video beautiful on my FT101.
Doesn't work so well when streamed via wifi, I think 802.11G is a little too slow, maybe I need to go to 802.11N. Works fine via a portable hard disk, or a microSD card, or even a USB stick. If you have the dock or the usb converter adaptor thingy.
Sorry for those who don't have access to a grunty PC for converting using handbrake, I guess my post isn't much help to you. I'm waiting until I get my TF101 back from a warranty repair to try a few things out, including ICS. I'm currently running Revolver, and I'm VERY happy with it.. kudos GNufabio.

You have over 1000 posts here
You list a ton of devices in your signature(what's the point anyway?)
Yet, you don't know how to reinstall a rom
what the f?
Furthermore, you go on to demand that the person who gave you a nice suggestion should help you even more by holding your hand through the process.
You must be a fat American.

Wth does that have to do with being American? You like blanket statements?

well one person got reported for being a douche.
and yes, i'm well aware of how to flash a rom.
most of us here however are running stock ICS from the update with no root or anything like that. So simply saying reinstall ICS is not a very intelligent statement.
If i have an issue with my nexus i know how to back it up and reinstall because i have CWM installed.
however on this, as i just said, i'm running a totally stock device. i've never rooted, never installed a custom recovery, and i don't want to.
and personally, i also think the suggestion of installing ICS is BS and won't make a difference.
anyway, thank you @squire-au for that. i have seen that post and have been hoping there would be another way since totally encoding can take a very long time. but i will be testing that out overnight to see what happens.

I agree though, 720p is very stuttery now when it was fine before the update.

Video playback in cm9

Hey guys!! First post but im daily xda atrix forum visitor. Anyway, I installed the new cm9 beta 5.0 yesterday. It works great and I love it (thanks jokersax!!). I have been goin back and forth between cm9 and cm7 for the past 3 months. I love cm9 but there was always a couple a nagging issues that prevented it from being my daily, therefore, I always reverted to çm7. I thought this version cm9 was going to be my daily; up until an hour ago. Playback of videos are bjorked. Videos that have been working perfectly fine in previous versions of cm9 are so sloe and choppy in 5.0.
Sorry for the long post but any advice would be appreciated. Btw I spent the last hour searching the boards and Google but did not find anything. Sorry in advance if this has been posted before.
TIA!!!

Use MX Player with software decoding. Hardware video decoding on ICS is borked until we get proper drivers.

OK thanks! I figured that was the case. The only reason I asked is that I could've sworn playback was working on previous versions on cm9. OK thanks bro!!
On a side note. What is the video recording app everyone is using since thats been borked for a while and does Skype video chat work?

Thanks for the quick reply!!! When trying to do Max players code I get this error: "incompatible with other applications using the same shared user id"
I looked everywhere an couldnt find an answer.
Thanks guys

Uninstall older versions first. If that doesn't work, try clearing market data.

Skype and GTalk video chat don't work, but Tango definitely does. just FYI.

I got same thing on MX 1.6. Fixed for me by downloading to PC from MX website, transferring files to phone, and installing from phone afterwards.

Hmmm... I'm getting fairly good results with MX Player. But I re-encode my videos for the Atrix's screen size (max. 960x540, if source is smaller, keep source resolution). 720p (and up) movies are still choppy. I guess our CPU can't handle decoding HD resolution movies using software only.

oooo ok i see what ur talkin bout. im sorry i wasnt clear enough. i was talkin about playing my videos that i shot with the video camera (before i had cm9). although i guess it would be the same thing. i shot those videos in 1080p so i guess like you said the cpu cant handle it. that stinks! i was hoping to play my videos to family when i get back to NYC. i could always save the vidz on my computer then re-encode them i guess.
o well, thanks again!!!

Installing different players is great, but have you tried MX Player WITH the Arm v7 Codec (on the market as well)? Most vids play flawlessly for me with that setup. Also do what Kameirus said and check the ROM thread for fixes, and it would also help to tell us which ROM and what version of that ROM you're on.

Maybe you're trying to play a 1080p video?
