Which is the best music player and best video player for Milestone 2 (considering hardware n stuff especially when it comes to video)??
It would be nicer if the video player can support formats like avi, divx , flv etc.
I bought PowerAMP as music player but haven't really played around with it. Though I think it's a decent music program. Others swear on winamp. I never had this program on my computer, since I looked for something else. On the marketplace PowerAMP had really good rankings!
For videos VPlayer is the way to go. There is this 30 days trial shareware. Try it out, it eats everything you throw at. Avi, of course, divx, I think xvid, not sure about flv. Try it out and buy it if you like it!

Thanks for the reply mate..
I myself have found WinAmp pretty good..
As far as VPlayer goes, I did try the trial version. But I had sync issues with a 720p .flv . After trying it this question actually came up..
There also is this VLC Player coming for android. I heard rumors. Are you following smartphone news?
Here you can see the progress: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/vlc-android.git;a=summary
I do read around. But did not stumble upon that.
Seems like good news. May be we'll see VLC on android soon and hopefully it will live up to its desktop counterpart.
And I must add Cinema (by Greg Millam) is a nice video player for Android. Though it only plays whatever your stock player plays (as it uses hardware decoder). Still it is good.
Okay, Im going to give it a try. Thank-you!

I used to use PowerAMP.now I get soundbest player in my phone.I think PowerAMP is the best,but I donnt like its dazzling setting and its UI.
I recommend MX player and Dice player.
For music I use UberMusic... it's beautiful and very functional. Worth every cent.
For video I use MoboPlayer.
Give a try to the awesome ³ (Cubed Player) from Filipe Abrantes, if your music has correct tags.
MX player for local videos, vevo and vimeo for their online great stuff.
musicXmatch for music and MX Player for videos
What's the best player full for android?

PowerAmp is just an awesome app!
Power Amp Agree its awsome but i have to use apollo because power amp dont start automat when i plug headspeakers ;/ pilot didnt work to. Also have a problem because power amp take all audio from sd card... so i listen to music and...i have movie..and i have my recorded voice calls...this is ridiculus
Hi i prefer the rocketplayer for music(very good for all formats) it has good equilizer setting possibilities,and for video i take MX player too, there are more codecs included.

Hi,
I also use power amp and mx player. And for both apps you can choose the folders to scan to avoid having your ringtones or other sounds played by the player... as for me, power amp starts playing music when I plug a jack. I am using cm10 from Tezet.

MX PLAYER is 10! for moves
Poweramp is 10 ! for musics... this run WMA and anothers
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!

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.

I have MX Video Player on my Note. When I tried playing avi movies, i get stuck in the middle after going back to the player.
Example: I am playing Big Bang Theory avi on MX Video Player, I browsed the movie via ES File Explorer and played thru there. After let's say a few minutes of watching, I click the back button several times until i am now at my home screen. After a few minutes of doing nothing (screen switched off), i went again to file explorer to find the avi file i watched before (in my MX video player, it continues the movie where you stopped), when I clicked the avi file, it gets stuck, I cannot do anything but to long press the power button and restart my phone.
I am experiencing this problem with 4 episodes now of big bang avi files. I tried playing other files like mp4 and i have no problem with the continuation of the movie. This mp4 movie is 2.5gb worth while the avi files are less then 300mb. So i guess it is not a file size issue.
To further filter out the problem, i tried to paste this same avi files in my internal storage and same thing happened. It still get stuck. So internal or external storage are out of the question.
What is the problem then?
Thanks!
I think maybe there is an error on the file, i have no problems with any hd video on mkv, mp4 or avi on Mx Video
sounds like bad files, you could walys try a different player such as dice player to see if it does it with that
Sometimes it loads well but most of the time it gets stuck. I thought if i played it directly on mx video instead of browsing it in es file explorer the problem would be resolved but same issue persists. I will try other players. Would you recommend any other than dice? I will try that one as well.

Use Bsplayer lite. Very nice movie player.

Mobo Player its as good as MX
I use MX player and havent struck any issues with it yet. Could it be dodgy encoding of the files?
I tried mobo player and i haven't encountered my note getting stuck.
What i should do next is to try another avi file, maybe the big bang theory files have bad parts.
Thanks.

I found dice player free version to be the best. Some files audio was not playing on mxplayer pro or I would need to select software encoding etc, sometimes should get audio lag but with dice player same files would play without issues without needing to select software encoding etc. would have bought pro version but no longer available on market.
Moboplayer plays everything. If some files don't work then put the software rendering on.

I am looking for a good video player and have tried the following -
Mobo Player
MX Player
I have had great luck with Mobo Player on my HTC Droid Inc but it seems to lockup on my Nexus 7. So right now it seems MX Player is working the best on the Nex 7
Has anyone found one any better than the two I have listed?
Take care and thank a Vet for his/her service to our country.
I tried Mobo, MX, VPlayer and a few others, but BSPlayer is the hands down winner for me. I like the interface, and it has played my vids perfectly. MX player was good I thought, but when I played an mkv I had to set audio to software decode - BS Player seems to handle everything in HW.

Dice and the tegra2 plugin have always been the best for me on the prime and the nexus.

BSPlayer for me as well. I love MXPlayer too but this one just plays every damn file I throw at it.
I found that BS Player is the *only* player that can play a video I use to test devices normally (AVC-1 (H264 1080p) and DTS 5.1 audio). VLC can play it fine on my Galaxy Note, but it can't do hardware decoding on the 7. Likewise, it crashes at generating a thumbnail for that same video.
I also like using Rockplayer Lite, I've yet to find something it can't play.
I use Mobo player with the new update they came out with for the Nexus 7 video plays fine.
havent gotten my nexus 7 yet but maybe vlc beta might work on it.
Voting for mx player.
What's the harm is running software mode? I have yet to play a video that causes slow down. Plus you can ramp up the volume more in software mode.
For everyone using BSPlayer, is it necessary to install one of the CPU support addons?
Another vote for bs player. Only concern is incapacity to lock screen rotation.

To be honest I don't remember, I don't think it did, but as I was trying a good few players at the time I forget exactly which did and which didn't. I don't have any codec listed in my applications list, but being totally new to Android I don't know if a codec would show up in this list. There is a free trial version, definitely worth a try imho.
Mx player was the only for me that used subtitles correctly and it works for every video file I use for it!
Mostly i'm using dice player or mx player for files on the device. Like the look of vlc but too buggy at the moment to really be usable for me.
Use plex for streaming but considering switching to bubble upnp as library browsing is faster and it sees my existing plex server.

I'm using MX Player Pro, and as far as I know it uses ffmpeg as a base, so once there is a Tegra3 add-on, I expect more files will work with HW decoding.
A lot of my older files avi/mkv/mpg/mov random bit rates and codecs, still plays them, but HW is usually disabled, or plays video but no sound. The SW decoder has played literally every file I've thrown at it, and does it pretty well, although SW fast mode is fugly.
New files using h264 etc, hardware decoding kicks in, and after watching a dozen or so episodes, it appears when it uses hw, its not as much of a drain on my battery.

ffmpeg tegra2 add-on does not affect MX player's HW accelerations. It is used by SW player.
MX can help SW audio track playback.
But Diceplayer accelerated H.264/MPEG-4 video without container/transport limitations.
If you want to play 1080p/QuickTime movie trailers , MX can not take advantage of HW video decoder, but diceplayer can do it.
I've been experimenting with this. I just want to navigate to a shared video folder on my Windows LAN, and play from there. I don't want to install server software on the PC. I have 2 file managers (ES File Manager, and File Manager HD). With File Manager HD, it wants to download the file first...so I think I will be getting rid of that. ES File Manager works, but when I right click and Open AS>Video, my drop down list only includes BSPlayer, ES Video Player, and the Android stock Video Player...no MXPlayer Pro. How do I get it in the list?
Secondly, BS Player has a network browser built in, which works great. It'll even add all the .vob files in a DVD folder. It won't use hardware decoding for the .vob files though, only software. I tried forcing it in the options by adding "vob," (V-O-B-Comma) to the decoder list, but it still plays in software.
Any idea on how to add MXPlayer Pro to the video players list in ES File Manager, and how to play DVD files in hardware?
Thanks,
RF
Diceplayer support Pop-up play!
Diceplayer 2.0.10 support pop-up play.
You can enjoy video on any applications like messaging and web.

On dice, you can browse network connections and play video over SMB from your PC or NAS.
I read and read and still not sure what the best approach is for streaming media (mp3, flac, mkv) to the N7 on the LAN from a Win7 PC. Any server software you could recommend that could potentially do transcoding on the fly if needed, with caching so that it happens only the first time a file is played and then maybe even be able to copy the transcoded/cached file to the internal N7 storage for offline playback?
And is MX Player the player to use on N7?
Thanks for your help recommending an end to end solution.

Have you tried iMediaShare? MX Player is probably the best player out there right now.
From the description of the app, I'm not sure how iMediaShare helps me. I'm looking to stream media files stored on a Win7 PC to my N7.
BSplayer has lan function and will stream any videos from any windows shares.ESfile explorer will let you veiw,stream or edit any files on your window shares.You don't need anything on your computer as long as it is setup for sharing on home network.Both of these work great and have been updated for 4.2.
^^this. I use es file explorer as a back end to access my media on the PC. Doing it this way allows you to use pretty much any media player software for the nexus that you prefer.
My current favourite is dice player.

Using ES File Explorer I can only get my shares to appear if I turn off my firewall (zonealarm). Can anyone confirm what I need to change to allow my phone to connect with zonealarm on?
Thanks
bubble up you can change where the files are rendered . it will also push thru the network from the share thru tablet and play on tv . can play file formats on the tv its not compatible with
Thanks for the ES File Explorer + MX Player tip. It seems to work well enough.
Next hurdle: any apps on the N7 that could help me organize the media better, e.g. show thumbnails for the movies, links to additional info, etc. the solution above is very spartan, just file names. I read about XBMC running on the N7, or Plex, or tversity - any of these worth the hassle?
I use xmbc media player ..its just perfect and no one is even close..its same as pc version and you cam find it here on xda for free

I recommend qloud media. It's free on the store and you can stream music pics and films from your computer. It works over 3g, local and remote wireless. Amazing I can watch my stuff at work during lunch and what not.

Wow, you're right crappy description of the app. The app does exactly what you want that's why recommended it. It's streams music and movies, using upnp servers on the computer side, like Windows Media Player and PS3 Media Server.
Next problem: any way to mount and play ISO files over the network? They are DVD rips and would like to avoid converting them. Any apps that act as a DVD player on the N7, able to mount the DVD ISO over the network?

Are you saying BS Player can mount ISOs made from DVDs and act as a DVD player? If so, any pointers where to look? I tried it and it didn't seem to be able to do anything with ISO files.
