Does not work.
Should this work without an additioanl player installed? (rock player etc.)
It works with Rock Player, didn't try on the default player.
But you can't Fast Forward wmv files on most player except for Seaman Player but wmv files aren't smooth ........

Thanks for the reply.
Default player does not work.
Puzzling why SE spec page states it supports this format.
Just to finalize this thread.
Bought Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 6
Converts files to .mp4, flawless.
Suggest me one video player which can play all the formats of video such as .avi, .mpg etc etc.

VLC is pretty great for being an alpha. Stock player is still the best though.
Nothing beats stock player atm. I'm on CM7, so I don't have the flawless Samsung player, hence I also need a replacement. The best I've got so far is mobo player, however it can't handle HD videos that well. There's also Rock player, but to me it seemed even worse than Mobo player. I've also gave VLC player a try, but in this alpha stage it's unusable; it has lower than 1 FPS on HD videos. So, I'm waiting for improvements on either of them.
I use QQPlayer for playing RMVB files. Super I should say
Vplayer, all the way.

Multi audio track in single file.
Single MKV/MP4 file may have 2 or more audio track.
some players like dice,mx can choose audio track.
Ohk. Thanks

There seems to be 2 Mobo players on the market. The original one, and a "newer" one. No idea if the newer one is legit or notably different.
Generally, there is very little the stock player won't handle, if you find something then Mobo seems to be able to deal with it.
My Samsung Galaxy s2 Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 Files with Ac3 audio decoded. I was able to play those using Dice player or rockplayer. But i dont have an option called 5.1 to enable on those players unlinke stock player.
The official Samsung Site or other specification gives the specification (This is from wikipedia)
For audio it supports (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF). For video formats and codecs it supports (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX HD/XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (ASF) as well as AVI (DivX)).
Issues:
1. Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded (Stock Media Player gives the Option 5.1 to be enabled but ac3 not playing)
2. Other players play it Under software decoding, But main Problem is 5.1 isn't working with Head phones
I googled and found some Users were able to Play it with stock media Players. Read something like "I dont have any problem playing those files, I just copy and play them"
I am now confused is this happeneing with my device alone, So guys how do you dea this?
Please reply so that i would be grateful to you guys
Until someone makes video codec for the sg2 Mali gpu, no software codec will be able to handle high res video better than the stock video player, or lower res video with the same battery efficiency.
That being said, audio decoding and subtitle handling don't need that horsepower, and more and more players mix stock decoder hardware features for the video part and software management for the rest.

Something is wrong or missing, can't really give you an answer because I never seen that happen before. Should give more info about the file your trying to play.
Besides that, why not just stick to the 3rd party apps. I stop using stock since it barely plays anything correctly compared to both MX and Dice player anymore. Or is that 5.1 sound effect really that necessary to you?

And Dice Player handle 1080p mkv very well.
which video player are you guys using?
i'm trying to play .mkv and .avi files with rock player and mx player
but i can't seem to get it to work.

MX Video Player has dual core support, plays everything I throw at it. Be sure to download the codec addon in the market too.
Avi should work but mine is little laggy when playing avi. Mkv is hit or miss. The best video player should be the mx video.

There is only one and it should point you to the correct one the first time you start mx video player. If in doubt uninstall mx video player and reinstall. It should send you to the correct codec link once again.

Just did some comparisons and Mobo does seem to have better playback. Smoother and less buggy. Switched from MX to Mobo Player!
i just need to find one that can play .mkv files.

I using Vplayer. Work fine with almost type of movies. And also support SRT to view subtitles.
QQ Player, search it on the web market.
Is optimized and very fast on my HTC Magic and Acer A100 and play .mkv
+1 for MX Player.
I haven't tried MX Player yet , but everywhere I search Mobo seems to be the player everyone recommends and it boggles my mind. As an app itself its pretty good, however, it lasted a total of 30 seconds on my phone after I realized that it's spamming me to no end with its bull suggestions for battery savers, task killers and a plethora of other apps I couldn't care less for.
It's too bad because the app definitely has potential.
I'm gonna give MX a shot. Hopefully that's smooth in playing back HD content on my S2.
subtitle
Hi, can I watch movies with subtitles on Acer Iconia A100? Witch player support that? Does it works fine?
Thanks!
If you want to watch videos n do other stuff at the same time, you could give Super Video a try, otherwise I recommend DICE Player

I use dice for my HD mkvs mp4s and stuff like that, mx for SD and net streaming. Dice and Mx both support subs. I used to use mobo but honestly dice and mx both play better with and seem to force HW more often, dice in particular.

Impressive Video Player
I highly recommend the free Pop Player app. I recently made a couple of reviews on it on YouTube.
This new video player allows the user to utilize speed-control. The slow-motion
and speeded-motion are extremely smooth too and audio syncs perfectly with
the video at any speed. It can definitely be useful for athletes and students.
Some people I know even use it to replay their golf swings in slow-motion
in order to improve their form.
This player plays MP4 files that contain H264 and AC codecs.
Check out my review of this app on youtube by searching "Pop Player Free Android App"
Anyone know which Video/Media player has the most compatibility when it comes to video and audio?
My household has electronics (PCs, PVRs, Tablets, Phones, etc.) across various platforms/OS and I'm looking for a video/media player that I can
put on my SGS3, which will run anything I throw at it.
File types range from avi, divx, mp4, mov, wmv, etc. and codecs for the said vids range from xvid, divx, h264, vc-1, sorenson, etc. ;
audio codec follow accordingly, ranging from wma, mp3, acm, ogg, etc.
Thank you for the input
mx player
I have tried a few but Dice player has been the best IMO.
I'm a big fan of the VLC player for Android
Act1 is one of the first apps I always reinstall after a ROM FLASH.
Dice Player. And it's not close.
Thank you for all the suggestions.
I'll try out each one and see which one fits my needs

Ive had great success with this. I really like how you can swipe up/down on the left side of the screen to change brightness and swipe up/down on the right side to adjust volume. Not to mention all native file types supported.

Exciting news to someone who has been using xbmc for over 10 years. Are you saying you have already compiled a version for the S3?

MX Player plays them, and everything else I've thrown at it, just fine.

I've been a HUGE fan of Dice Player on my old Captivate, mostly because it's the only good player with samba/cifs (windows) network share support built-in. But, on my SGS3, it freezes up after the first second on a LOT of videos that MX Player handles just fine, so, MX Player wins until Dice gets fixed.
(honorable mention: MoboPlayer (... back in the day ... ))
edit: Dice might behave differently under stock Touchwiz than CM9/CM10, as I've only ever used DicePlayer on CM7 and CM9 (and diff hw, but is fine on my Nexux7 too).

Tried the following till now:

And it seems like as people have suggested, MX has to most wide arrange of compatibility.

Apparently, Dice Player had a licensing issue and they released an update that constricted file compatibility. Good thing I read changelogs, as the pre-update version has proven to be an excellent option (have yet to be unable to play a file). I guess I slept on MX Player; after looking at its capabilities, I need to add it to my list .

Hello
How do you play movies that contain DTS audio on your Note2?
I've uploaded a short video clip (only 11Mb) that contains DTS audio... let's see if you can play it!
http://boxhost.co.uk/G3NIVBWTG856/dts.sample.mkv.html

This one plays fine (including sound) with BS Player Free. I'm sure other video players will also work.
If using dice my personal favourite you will need to find the libffmpeg pluggin for DTS you will find xda thread on this
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Nope, can't hear the audio. Tried the stock video player and also MX Player. Video plays fine, but audio is silent.
For me just fine with dice player and the plugin I mentioned previously
So loud and clear the guy in movie clip talking about tank...
-go to google play and download dice
-get that plugin...search globally xda with dice and the name of that lib, you will find it...
-copy to your sdcard memory
-register the plugin in dice
And it should work for u as it does for me

Awesome. Been looking for something that does.
cheers!
BS Player will probably have to remove DTS audio also at some point, since the DTS people won't allow Android developers to buy licenses and have threatened Dice and MX Player with legal proceedings if they didn't remove it. That was what prompted Dice, and then MX Player to add support for user-added custom codecs as mentioned above.
I would recommend Dice over BS player any day of the week.
how do l get DTS to work in mx player. its My favourite player...
MX Player recent versions also have support for externally loaded codecs (unfortunately the one that works with Dice Player doesn't work with MX for me). I would perhaps search here at XDA to see whether anyone has compiled one for MX Player specifically.
