hi, is there a way to remove the black bars on default android video player? i mean, to play in trully full screen?
black bars are horrible, and i know that with apps like rock player i fix the problem, but i need to use the default one with crunchyroll,
please help with it
Jus't install RockPlayer from market and forget stock player....
Much better and fluid for even more formats.
yeah. but i told that with crunchyroll it opens the default player, it doesnt let me choose rock player, that's why i say it.

Hi,
Windows media player is playing my files fine, but its screwing up the aspect ratio, ie. it plays full screen without the black bars of top and bottom. I want the black bars
How can I fix this?
PS! I tried the option under video "Scale to fit window", but that doesnt help.
Same problem for me with WMP.
I use HTC Album to read video, with the "aspect ratio" button (bottom right during play).
WMP i useless if it doesnt have exactly 800x480 resolution or same aspect ratio as 800x480.
Use Album or use converters which can make black bars.
Nice tip to use Album. Dunno why CorePlayer doesnt play the file as well as WMP/Album.

Because CorePlayer hasn't hardware support yet.
I have a different problem with WMP. Most WMV files I play in full screen I get black borders all around (top+bottom+sides) so I end up with a tiny video image. The size is not much bigger than when playing in portrait mode.
You can try to use the converter I wrote. It is in a sticky thread.
Regarding WMP:
It behaves very badly with anything that isn't the exactly right AR/Size.
I personally recommend album. It has more finger friendly controls and it uses the same rendering method as WMP, so you will not miss out on performance.
Just wondering what people are using for a media player primarily a video player?
I am using RockPlayer and to be honest it is faultless. Plays everyting I throw at it including h/x264 and ac3 sound.
There is one small issue and that is with configuration. I wouldn't mind a few more features like volume boosters etc.
I commute so tend to just drop videos on the phone to watch. Amazingly smoother and faster than winmo.
i personally use and like DoubleTwist. i havent' used RockPlayer yet.. but i have heard many good things about it.
Doubletwist is nice but seems to be okay with h264 but not xvid
Is there any app out there that lets you change the song in the middle of doing something like using gamedroid? Kinda like the home button on the ipod touch when you tap twice it brings up the media player?
i use mixzing for song playback. and i use mvideoplayer for video files (doesn't play divx but offers nice playback control and stuff)
Just so you guys know, there are Android general forums that might get you more replies and ideas.

The only reason why i used rockplayer is cuz it plays rmvb and rm files (a MUST have for hardcore chinese drama lovers =P)
if anyone knows of another that can play realmedia files, please let me know cuz i'm also looking into other options
+1 for doubleTwist here
I use one called simply 'Music Player' (it was the top hit on the apps store). Excellent, fond my music straight away with no configuration, small footprint, instant start with no lag and a great FF/REW function. Unlike Windows Media Player :0)
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.

Am I just missing something? When I watch a video in the native player it only lets me watch it in the native resolution and not make it full screen. Is there a way to make movies full screen with the stock movie player?
I am trying to figure out the same thing. I even tried using third party video player like rock player but no full screen in some videos. My .mp4 are fine but I can't seem to get full screen in .flv and .mkv
Rock player lite works for me, but I really would like this to work with the native player.
Before my Tab died on me I used Vital Player... and it worked perfectly...
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?
