i'm trying to play .mkv and .avi files with rock player and mx player

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.

which codec addon did you install?

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.

i found mobo to work better than mx and rock player.

+1 on mobo

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.
Sent from my A100 using xda premium

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"

is qqplayer have big lags like mobo? i want download normal player, mobo is playing without lags only small video files
using themyth lite with oc
edit; tried qqplayer and its playing video without lags! i recommend qqplayer!

Another vote for MX VideoPlayer it's the best of all and i tested alot of video players and that's the best!

mx video player too.
supports subtitles.
adjust brightness.
easy interface for me.

+1 for mx video player, tried many others, but mx is simply the best for me.
Gingercruzed, Darktremored, V8.5 Supercharged

MX video is excellent, but I could not play videos in hd

+1 on MX.. I've been using it for months, and it worked like a charm

MOBO Player or Daroon Player - I prefer "daroon player" because it is safer and supports mms stream.

I dont really think it matters that much which player you use for hardware decoder
for software decoder(like for hd videso) i think mx player has least lag, iv tried most of the video player softwares, at least the free ones

mono player was the best one I used

which is the best free media player for the galaxy nexus ?

I use mx video player and it's working great even with 1080p from my camera.

I'll double that! Dual core CPU support, HW/Software/QuickSoftware decoding modes, gestures and most importantly - it's free!

so mx player it is then ?

If you'll find something better and free - let me know, please

I use moboplayer. (free and no ads)
mx player is better for now as it uses the whole screen. Hopefully moboplayer will update it to use the full screen as well.

I've had problems with mx player. some mkv's were stuttering a lot (of course hw decoding was turned on), others worked.
now I'm using DICE player. it's free but has ads. so far I didn't come across any mkv that didn't play smoothly.

+1 for moboplayer. Havent had any problems with it.

I have MX, Mobo, and Dice. MX is my go to app for video as it seems to work the best for me. If I run across a file that won't play I try one of the other two.

Do the MKVs stutter ont he stock video player?
My experience is that all MKVs stutter, even if the video is easily decodable.
I think the demuxers in Android 4 are somewhat broken/buggy.

I've used dice, mx, mobo, and dice is the only one that plays audio with mkv files. Unfortunately its riddled with ads and the paid version is unavailable for purchase. Anyone run into this issue?

There was a setting that I had to change and my mkv audio started working in MX. I don't remember what it was though

[Q] best 720p MKV player for tegra3?

Anyone found apps that play 720p mkv smoothly? (Type of stuff you get off the internet..)

I use my movie player, works quite nicely with 720p

I use Mx player.
You can even choose between HW acceleration or SW acceleration.

MX Player here. Uses HW acceleration, super smooth. Tried Dice Player and VPlayer, had lots of bugs on audio and video was not very smooth.

I tried MxPlayer and DicePlayer and found that DicePlayer gives me better image quality and plays everything I feed it without any problems.
My tip is to try out both Mx and DicePlayer.

bsplayer

I tried MX Player it failed to play MOV format (1080p) it was a trailer later I tried Mobo Player it works like a charm.

I've noticed the same with those players, that they support different formats, so there is no single best player really.
Like someone mentioned, MOV plays nicely with one or two players, while MKV plays nicely with few others.
I simply use 2 players which support all file formats I use.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I find these two very good: DicePlayer and MX Player, also heard BS Player to be very good too.

Built in HTC Video player for both mkv (720p &1080p) as well as FLVs downloaded from YouTube. I have dice just in case, but had no reason to use it yet

I would rather use the stock player too, but unfortunately it plays my mkv files without sound.
Which would be the better option? Converting the file to fit the stock player, or use players like MX Player to play those files?
Thanks

MX Player. Can switch between SW and HW decoding on the fly, and you can choose for the audio to be SW or HW too, independant of video decoding.

Yeah been using MX for a while, just concern that whether there are any compromises in sound quality when playing mkv with SW acceleration instead of HW

I've never needed to go SW sound before so I can't really say.

I've got a few 720p mkv videos and it doesn't play with sound if it's in HW mode.
The only way for me to play it with sound now is to set it to SW (fast mode or normal one).
So right now I'm just wondering if it's better to re-encode the audio so that the stock player can play it in HW, or just use MX Player and play it in SW.
Will do some experiments after I get back from work

MX can do separate encode modes for video and audio. You can run video on HW and audio on SW if you want.

Dice player plays it all but there is only one little problem with it. While playing videos there are 3 white dots (menu) remain on screen......i hope its updated soon.

Yeah but I wanna try playing the audio on HW. MX can't do that. Dice can though.

[Q] Video Player

I'm trying to find a video player for movies and TV shows that has hardware decoding that works. I mostly play Xvid avi files and some x264 mkv/mp4s. I've tried MX PLayer, but h/w and h/w+ decoding is slow and choppy.
Any suggestions?

The Gnex doesn't seem to be very good at HW decoding Xvid AVIs (one has to use an SW decoder, really) but it is very capable at playing any sort of x264/H.264/AVC video in MP4 and MKV containers even up to 1080p resolution. I normally use MX player's HW+ decoder for these and it works brilliantly.
For your AVIs you'll need to try out the SW decoder, the GPU just can't handle acceleration of them. The specs for the Gnex list that it can only play MP4/H.264/H.263 anyway so it's not a surprise. As long as the Xvid AVIs aren't in HD MX Player's SW decoder should be able to handle them perfectly, that's what I find anyway.
Another option that hasn't got as nice an interface but is very capable is BSPlayer, it also works very well but cannot get around the fact that the GPU can't handle XVID.
