[Q] Choppy video playback since 4.0.2 update. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

When my GN was on 4.0 (stock non-rooted), all my 720p movies files played smooth as butter with MX Video Player. But ever since 4.0.2 update (stock non-rooted), all the movies files became extremely choppy, they are like slide shows, but audio is fine in all of them.
I tried both h/w and s/w decoders and results were the same. I even tried other players such as Mobo Player and Playerpro and still the same choppy playbacks.
Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

same here..also on stock fw..

They removed divx support if that's their format.

They're going to add divx support back in 4.0.3 afaik.

Great, looking forward to next year at the pace they're going for updates!

This sucks.... Makes me wonder why Google would do something like that...

Best video player

What do you guys use?
I'm looking to buy one, but can't really decide on which one to buy.
Dice player.
I like mx player. It was included with remics ROM, and it grew on me. It's not compatible with JB yet though.
Edit: The 1.6 update added support for JB. Seems like there are good developers working on it.
It is now

MX Player has been flawless for me so far, and swiping for volume & brightness is very convenient.

Dice player sucks they removed dts in the last update. Right bsplayer is the best one plays mkv files just fine

Another vote for MX Player.
I use BS Player. Even allows you to stream off your network through the player itself

Is MX player support HW Acceleration for our GNEX?
I tried playing a 720p MKV on it and it was very stuttering...
Vplayer or VLC

Dice Player! MX player plays many files in software mode on galaxy nexus.

It does support HW Acceleration on GNex and never had problems with shuttering so far, but then again i don't watch long movies and big files. Mostly watch anime on it.

Jelly bean STOCK video player

Is there any STOCK video player on Gnex 4.1?
Or if there is no stock video player, which one is the best one. I need it only for watching video clips and stuff downloaded fr web, but no movies...
Thanks folx
I thought stock video play was part of stock galaxy apk. I use vplayer on my own devices.
What stock galaxy app? Which one?
Pretty sure he meant gallery. I find going through the native player via gallery I can't play any movies I load on my device.
I personally use mx player, love the swipe controls.

There is a built in video player although the codecs it supports isn't the best. If you need support for many codecs I would suggest either MX player, rock player or dice player.

vlc or mxplayer. i use vlc altough is in beta it works great!

Yeah the gallery "stock" player is very basic, i think it's more designed for playing the videos, you record with your phone cam, nut much more. Alternatives are as mentioned vlc or rock player.
Btw does anyone know a player with support for more than one audio track?

MX Player, not only that, it also let you choose between hardware or software decoding, which is needed for AC3.

[Q] unable to play mkv in mx, but stock player plays some?

This is driving me nuts, got the 8 as an anime player since the tegra processor in the nexus played mkvs well, thought this would too. Nope, mxplayer errors outon all videos, and what is odd is the stock video player plays half of them but not all. It isnt an issue with 10bit, as it will play a 10bit cile I have but some older ones it only will play a few of them. How would I go about finding the cause and fixin it?
Try change to s/w decoder not sure if you have tried it, its default setting is h/w
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk 2
For some reason h/w mode gives problems on almost all my videos. Weird glitches like audio and video being WAY out of sync and s/w mode fixes all that.

I use the archos player no issues so far with any videos.

Compatible media player with 4.3?

As the title suggests and asks: Is there a 4.3 compatible media player?
MX, DicePlayer, VLC, etc. have left 4.3 users in the cold until they update their apps for Android 4.3 compability.
Others have reported BS Player, Mobo, etc to work, but they either result choppy or or audio/sound only but no picture.
I've tried ES File Manger's built-in player, Gallery. There's .mkv playback, but ES/Gallery are pretty slow/choppy and can't keep up and such.
MX has been quite fast with such an update in the past. Let's hope it's the same this time round.

You mean that one:
https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
For me that does not work. There is no "This version is unsupported" message but cannot get video and sound to work. Some modes (SW) even close MX player without an error or anything.
I was reading about that bug, I just got done watch in a bluray rip so I dunno? Tried attaching but I'm getting a token error...I'll look at the site and see which one I have.
UPDATE yep thats what im runnin. K I'm running stock settings and mp4 plays perfect. I wonder if its codec related. Do you have any mp4 video you could test?
Vplayer has had the 4.3 update and works brilliantly

Hardware acceleration on vplayer don't work. Only in BSPlayer work proper
K after messing around trying to play a 720p video on vplayer(choppy as hell), bs(not much better) and MX player had no audio on mkv I got VLC. The latest nightly runs almost as good as MX, few weird pops and clicks, but totally watchable.

works on 4.3, no issues including custom codec.
Thanks everyone.
Tried VPlayer for a while. It was a nice run with VPlayer, but it's a battery clog/drainer, the holo ui is a nice thing about it, though.
That said, DicePlayer (my personal favorite and preferred choice) got 2 or 3 updates a few days ago and has been playing everything smoothly.
I got an update for MX Player earlier today, everything appears to be working again. Just thought I'd throw it out there for MX Player users/fans.

[Q] video player in browser on CM11

Hello,
I can't write in the official thread because i don't have much messages, anyway.. i'm getting mad with the stock browser videoplayer , before the cm11 i had a stock 4.3 and when I tried to watch a video from the browser i had many player choices (gallery stock video player, es, etc etc) now with the cm11 I haven't this option, the video starts with a video player inside the browser (not the gallery video player but this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2458365&d=1387219521 ) i also tried chrome but the problem is the same, i checked the app info associations but the button is grey (unclickable).. another boring thing.. is impossible to see a fullscreen movie with that standard video player, the phone goes in lock screen mode like if i not seeing a video (without the fullscreen is ok) how i can fix that problem? thanks guys, have a nice evening.
Regards.
I have the same problem with my galaxy s3 running cm11 and boeffla kernel its really hard to watch porn
I think its kitkat behaviour.
