Hey guys,
I'm an iPhone covert but there is one thing that the iPhone does that is vastly superior to the gNex, and that's streaming video.
For example, I watch NHL games on m.hockeystreams.com. With the iPhone, it streams as an MP4 video but with the gNex it is Flash.
I have tried changing the user agent in Dolphin browser to have the site see my gNex as an iPhone but the player still shows it as Flash.
The question is, are you able to change the default video player to make it play as MP4?
I can't imagine it's anything other than the video format as the processor on the gNex is superior to the iPhone.
Thoughts?
uninstall or tell it not to run Flash.
You can also use Chrome Beta, which doesn't have Flash.

Coreplayer on Windows mobile was the best media player period, but it's not available on Android.
Which media players will do slowmo playback ?
What Im also interested in is, can the Galaxy S do high-fps recording?
The Wave does it and its nearly the same hardware. I wonder why Samsung didnt built this in. The Droid X has it too afaik.
Supports 30fps video!

That's not what I meant...
Do you know those slow mo vids of exploding ballons filled with water etc.?
I want to record videos like that.
It's recording with like 200fps!
The Samsung Wave and Droid X are capable of doing so, but the Galaxy S isn't.
I wants to know, too.
The resolution would surely have to be downscaled, I suppose.
After much debate I finally got hold of the Galaxy S because I thought it would be the ultimate multi-media device (being able to play 720P mkv's and other media without conversion), so I put the iphone 3GS away.
Lo and behold, it has the same crappy media player controls as the iphone.
Play , Pause and scroll slider.
Come on!!!!
Even my 5 year old windows mobile smartphone (SPV C500) had the ability to play media at variable speeds .inc variable speed slow motion (coreplayer).
Please tell me that there's a fully loaded media player available for Android that does this device justice.
anyone seen anything new similar to Coreplayer?
RockPlayer on the market is for armv6...but I remember that one friend manage to install the v7 from market.
Regarding 720p mkv playing, some videos were running even with subtitles rendered, while others no. Others couldn't play at all, like the 1080p mkv. Anyone knows if there is a bitrate limit or why others 720p mkv don't work?

What does this have to do with a slomo feature?
I am not aware of any media player for Android that can play slowmo, but I think there is one way you could do this indirectly using the "VLC stream and convert" app. Stream your movie from your desktop to your phone in slowmo via VLC media player which can play movies in slowmo.
I have not tried this myself but I guess it should work. I know this is not the ideal solution.
I've been experiencing some choppy video problems on my myTouch Slide. I know phones are somewhat notorious for this, but the weird thing in my case is that it used to work just fine and now it won't. Same video file (a movie in WMV format), same media player (arcMedia), now it won't work.
So I thought "it's probably a problem with arcMedia." So I tried RockPlayer. Same problem. Then I tried streaming flash video on Dolphin HD (which also used to work provided the video was buffered). Same problem.
So I grabbed an MP4 off of NASA's website and tried it on the native player. I don't get any video, just sound. From what I can tell this video should play just fine: H264 video codec and everything.
I'm new to Android but not new to computers and tech.
Any ideas?
Well what changed? Did you install any new apps that may be running in the background? Did you flash another rom or something since the last time you played this wmv file?
What was the resolution of the MP4 off the NASA site? If it was HD that is probably the reason why you get no video.
I bought my daughters nexus 7's for christmas and took them out to get them set up and get some of their favorite games installed and load some of our videos on that they like to watch on my phone. I noticed that the stock video player on the nexus 7 doesn't play many different video formats, basically only mp4 files. The stock touchwiz video player on my galaxy s3 has played every file I have thrown at it with no stuttering and no problems. I was wondering if there was a way to get the video player from my phone onto the nexus 7, would it be possible to use titanium backup to back the video player up and just install the apk on the nexus 7s, or is it more tied into the touchwiz ui than just the video player apk? I know I can use mx player, or another one from the play store, but honestly, I have never found one that outperforms the stock galaxy s3 video player.
Yes! Thank you!

I agree 1000% percent. I have some free MKV files that came with purchased movies. I was able to copy them to my Galaxy S3, as well as AVI's, and it played them flawlessly, not conversion, just like I would play these on my Windows PC or Playstation. I too dont want to install some app from the market and additional codecs to try and get my MKVs to play. But I did try, and it doesnt work. This tells me there's something in the Samsung S3 VideoPlayer app that can play these videos, and that means it should easily be able to run within Nexus 7. I too am trying to find the valid VideoPlayer.apk to try and install it on my Nexus 7. Have you tried that yet? Let me know if you do get it to work. I really love my Nexus, but a few things irk me. No support for Adobe Flash, the video camera app is set to 480p but found posts where you can turn on the ability for 720p, and this, playing MKV and AVI files.
Is there any way to add additional codecs on to the stock video player?
If not, is there another video player that would work like the stock video player that could shrink the video player on to home screen for multitasking purposes?
The reason is that I have a lot of mkv and rmvb videos, and don't really want to go through the hassle of coding all of them.

The best one at the playstore is MX Player Pro, I think it even plays more formats than
the stock video player and it looks almost the same but it has a lot more features on options.
The MX Player Pro does have a different codec for different phones,
if I recall it automatically downloads/install the correct one.
It plays mkv, rmvb and just about any and all other formats.
I never found a video which it cannot play.
Here is the playstore link so you can check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
Its really excellent.

I've been using MX Player Pro too, just that I want to be able to really utilize Note 3's multi tasking features more. The Note 3's video player has a pop out feature when it'll shrink and continue playing on your home screen while you do other stuff. Just wondering if there's any other video player that could do that too.
While trying out the display resolutions, I noticed that playing the same video on mx player and Samsung's default player has a difference in quality.
You can access Samsung's player if you play the video from the gallery app. It just looks better. Unfortunately, gallery will show an thumbnail of the video so it's hard to tell which video it is if you have a lot.
Anton he will have notice this?
There is app called Video, it works like gallery, but only displays videos/movies and lists them with a name underneath. I would be completely lost without it. I also use Samsung player for mostly everything, but there are some specific audio or video codecs that Samsung player doesn't work with, so I also installed VLC as back up. I have not come across video VLC wasn't able to play yet.
