Video player for 4.3? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I updated to 4.3, Non of Video players such as MX Player Pro or VLC or Mobo player are working, MX player says unsupported android and VLC just plays Audio for MKV files.
Any suggestions?? Really disappointing

email the developers, let them know that they need to update their apps for android 4.3. if their app users dont tell them, they might not know that it needs an update until much later on.

I have seen in other threads that VLC (nightly) now works with 4.3. The link below says the fixed version it is not yet available on the playstore.
See: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=112549
I'm still holding out for MX Player Pro hoping that it will be fixed before the OTA gets to my machine. The OTA has begun to rollout on Jul 26th late at night on US east coast (Florida was one place mentioned).

Vplayer has 4.3 support, but give it a few days for the rest

VPlayer seems to be working fine. They updated it like yesterday.

video players not working android 4.3
the same happen to me. vlc beta plays only audio but no video, mx player pro unsupported android version. Hopefully they will fix this.

So VLC only plays audio for me, and VPlayer is really really laggy. Like, videos are only showing half of their frames.
Are there any actually functional video players on 4.3 right now?

...did... did you read my post? I said VPlayer is incredibly laggy on my Nexus 4, almost non-functional.

Guys, sorry to derail this topic, but
How do you send mkv files to the Nexus 4?
When I connect it to my PC there's no option to use it as a traditional drive copy/pasting files from my computer.
Thanks in advance.

Right, it worked fine in MX Player using SW decoding. (I thought dice had software decoding fallback as well)

Video player?

Hey guys, any idea about a good video player , which one should I chose ?

I'm using MX Player, it's perfect!
> if your on ICS.. and you only play videos on your local storage.. use MOBO player.. better soft decoding playback than Mx.. hd videos plays no lag... but if you use youtube.. Mx is will be appropriate.
> and one more thing.. if your asking questions.. post it on Q/A section here.

I recommend MX player with ARMv6 VFP codec.. you will find both in play store!!
Dude,practically it is impossible to play any hd video on ics on our device.
So don't confused on video players choice.
The main problem in ROM;not in lg p500.

The mx player is perfect for lg p500,other option for u might be moboplayer both with arm6 codec.
I've been using mx player for the last year and there has NEVER been a bug or problem and plays every format.

MX player is the best. the new update brings a new feature h/w+ which works on p500 and makes it the best video player

I heard a respond that stock browser is sharper and crisper than any 3rd app. And it can play various codec types, but i'm not sure about .mov
Playback of this file was super smooth with mx player with armv7 codec installed. Stock player could not open this

Same here with BS Player.

Butter smooth. Really. Both videos. Can agree there is a minimal difference in bs player and mx player

movies

ive treid 4 different media players and cant find one that will play my movies,ive converted avi-mp4 and back again with still no luck anyone else have this problem,if so did you solve it,love this tablet apart from this problem
Last night I tried an .avi file just for the hell of it, and it didn't work. Was quite surprised actually, but I've yet to try other file types.
Mine play fine. Usedjust about every format. Need to download a good media player that will work with them.
I use vplayer. There are others out there as well.

i use MX Player to play AVI files. it'll play some MKV files too.
but for MP4 and M4V files, the standard Google Play Movies app plays these for me.

Very strange I know. Because my ancient Galaxy S plays most things without the need for 3rd party software.
For future reference you should likely list the apps you tried and as much about the video as you can. Is one of the 4 you tried MXPlayer?

[Q] MX player custom codec to play DTS on N10?

Anyone happen to have a custom codec that is able to be loaded into the latest MX player so it will play DTS audio? Reason I ask about this is because MX player works the best... BS player the audio becomes out of sync from the video if I pause and restart/resume video. BS player for some reason won't allow me to FF either. VLC beta is very nice but it is just a beta and also has some really crappy bugs. If I FF the video or pause/restart the audio becomes out of sync with the video. VLC lets me FF but that also causes the audio to become out of sync.
So alas, the best (current) way to play videos is MX player. Everything works perfectly BUT the DTS audio. Does anyone have or know of a custom FFmpeg codec that works with the Nexus 10? Thank you!

Codec is out there just Google it on xda. I've tried it, same crap results as using custom codec with dice player....great we have DTS, but video becomes laggy and choppy so pointless....
EDIT: got the link for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896293
EDIT: actually after a bit of fiddling got h/w video to play with s/w audio, works really nice now.

Nah it does work just takes some fiddling. Enable h/w video only in preferences > decoder. Disable s/w and h/w+ video decoding. Select custom codec. Then when you play video click music icon in top right and uncheck use "H/W audio decoding" and done.

I assume this is the arm7 neon off the play store?
Where does it download to, when I try selecting custom codec it gives me a filepicker, but I can't figure out where in the directory structure it might be?

Alright.
Was thrown off by that being from a different device forum and that there was a NEON codec available in the play store.
Thanks
