Hi,
I would like to find out how to edit the default video player software subtitles to add shadow effect to the subtitles.
These brilliant guys made the subtitles impossible to read that way and that really stinks, isn't there an easy way to edit some file and make it work?
It's just that the original default video player is the best hardware video player there is that works with subtitles over HDMI properly!
Edit>
The .apk is apparently called SecTabletVideoPlayer.apk
really?!? no one ?!

Hey guys , try this video player it's an absolute beast for VFP6 Arm processors . You know how limited P500 is with videos , can only run up to 640X360 and certain dimensions : max 1gb or something like that.
Well with moboplayer I've been runing 720X400 , or even higher with no probs . Thing is , above this resolution you should try to oc the cpu . Moboplayer makes great use of cpu speed unlike other players .
I could refer to this player as the Swiss army knife of video playback considering it also plays some formats of videos with audio files that fail on other players like default vplayer and Mvideoplayer
Unfortunately it does not play Mkv well yet and prolly the only rez P500 might go with a oc'ed 800 cpu is 480p. But as the devs of Mobo said they will be fixing mkv soon .

Just download the V6 VFP , that's the correct version for our phone .
Cheers and I hope this suggestion has helped many people in dire need of better video playback
I'll download this when I'm in need of it. Thanks! By the way, I remember your video playback problem thread. Glad you found a solution
the best video player so far for Optimus One!
Aye indeed it seems so freexander . I wanted to test yesterday Vplayer but it did not even finish the install . It might be arm V7 only with neon .
I can hardly wait to see if the mobo devs will continue the awesome support VFP 6 and give proper mkv support ;P. It would be awesome if I could at least run videos up to 480p
Working great,..better than QQplayer.

thanks
does dis plays mkv files?
Hmmmm , not yet . At least I tried a 480p video of about 150mb and it did not work properly . But moboplayer devs said they will adress mkv problems in next version .
Nice! I like how it can change aspect ratio.
tried it, manage to play most of the video files

I'm gonna try that 1 if it's better than the mVideoPlayer i'll defenetly swap to it! BTW for MKV i think, not sure, but i think mVideoPlayer plays them! idk how well or not so well tho :x
i ilke it....
I have a 10 inch android pad and have the VFP version. Does anyone know how to make it play full screen? Thanks.
When I play a video from megavideo app, and I choose MoboPlayer, it plays one or two second and then closes. The video doesnt play, why?
Prety much best app for videos....it played a 720p mkv file at 10-15 fps almost same to rockplayer....
So what program do people use to convert their movies to something Moboplayer uses. I tried using Handbrake and Moboplayer said it had to use "soft conversion" and the movie then kind of stuttered. I could just be using the wrong settings with Handbrake, or should I be using something else?
I have problem to find app which support movie play via HDMI output with subtitle.
On my device I see movie playing with subtitle (.srt) but on TV I see only movie but withouth subtitle.
Does anybody have any proposal how to fix that or which app do show subtitle on output HDMI. To include subtitle into movie as is not optional becouse I can't convert movie every time I want to look TV via phone MHL.
For movies I think format like .avi, .mkv, mp4 etc...
thanks for proposals...

The standard video player support subtitles!
I have tried both standard and mobo player, both show subtitle on the TV using MHL!
redzion: Does the sub and video file got exactly the same name? And is the sub file an .srt file? If not, try converting the sub file to .srt
ok. problem was in filename.. strange that subs did work on device but not on tv, now when subs have same name work on boths sides..
thank you...

You're welcom, glad it worked!
What i have found about stock player is you can't have more than one subtitle file for example:
nameofthevideofile.ENG.srt
nameofthevideofile.SPA.srt
I know mVideoPlayer can load different srt files but i'm not sure it can display the subtitles over MHL. I'm going to try it and post results.
Ok my little experiment with subtitles and MHL:
Stock player shows subtitles both phone and MHL
mVideoPlayer only shows subtitles on the phone screen
MoboPlayer only shows subtitles on the phone screen
RockPlayer shows subtitles both phone and MHL only in software decoding mode. In hardware decoding software subtitles are shown only on the phone screen
DicePlayer only shows subtitles on the phone screen
Those are the tests so far. Only mVideoPlayer allows me to choose the srt file (several languages for example).
Had the same problem and answer bellow helped me to see the subtitles on TV screen. The only limitation I currently see is that the internal player control the size of font on the phone screen but not change it externally. In addition, the subtitles position in both screens are slightly different, which point on different processing for internal and external view.
In addition I had a problem that the Hebrew subtitles does not shown but I saw question marks.
After some investigation and tests I found that the internal player on my Galaxy 2 accept only unicode srt files, designed for RTL read. Since most of the subtitles in Hebrew are historically published as ANSI and LTR read (since the DVD appliance days that were limited to this format. Currently most software and streamers read all formats) I had to convert it twice:
1) Open the ANSI file in Subtitles Workshop and fix punctuation (Subtitles Workshop works only with ANSI files).
2) Convert the file to Unicode (using Notepad "save as" command and choosing Unicode or UTF-8 format).
BTW, usually I use mVideoPlayer. It requires RTL file so I had to do the first step any way before transferring the movie to the phone, but then it doesn't support the Unicode file that I saved. After more test I found that it plays UTF-8 files. Since the internal player is luckily support both Unicode and UTF-8 formats, I can keep only one file in UTF-8 format and RTL direction of punctuation.
The only problem is that Subtitles Workshop doesn't support not Unicode neither UTF-8, so if the srt file is originally in these format, I can't fix the punctuation direction (I didn't find another tool) unless I lose the special characters like notes you can find mainly in musical.
Hope this helps for other users, specially for RTL language users (Hebrew/Arabic).

You just made my day.. looking for this answer for 1 week

I use MoboPlayer and BsPlayer and both reproduce video with subtitle on TV via MHL, only you has to play the video with Soft Decoding.

Hi all
I wolud like to ask you have I can see subtitles via HDMI conector on my TV? I can see just video without subtitle. Subtitles are just in S2 screen but no in my TV screen. I tried mvideo player and Rock plazer but still the same....
subtitles
Hi,
Subtitles are presented only on the phone screen because they are rendered for the phone display.
In order for the subtitles to be shown on the screen i guess the video player must have support for rendering the subtitles over HDMI as an overlay (similar to how streamers do this).
I suggest sending an email to the video player developer for more details...
Thanks,
Do you know any player which can do it?
You have two options:
a) Use a video player with software decoding (MoboPlayer).
b) Extract the subs (what format are they in) to the same directory as the video and name it the same as the vid, and the stock video player will play the subtitles (with annoying transparency). If you don't see them, press Menu while a video is playing and you will see the subs setting.
I've tried a for awhile now on ways to get around this, but these are easiest ones. The other options would be to either stream the video from your PC to your phone (not viable for me as HD vids lag on my connection, but ymmv) or hardsub the videos yourself (would take about an hour or 2 depending on the size).
Oki i will try... Tx
Is the stock video player supposed to display subtitles from .srt files (named the same as the .mpt file)? If not what format should the subtitles be in the mp4 container? I know one can burn them in but I'd like to have the option to turn them on/off - not sure it's even possible as I don't see any menus/settings in the stock player but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Don't think you can man. I just installed VLC from the play store. It's beta but it works best.
I know there are many choices of much better players (MX Player, Dice, Mobo, BS, VLC, etc.) I'm just trying to understand how "crippled" the stock player really is, that's all.
Hi can someone port the original video player from touchwiz or give me a suggestion for a player which can stream movie file plus subtitles. I have tried many dlna media servers but they just stream the video file nkt the subtitles. I have also tried allcast...the results were the same, no subtitles. Sorry for the bad english.
