ive recently got a bit of software called channer which allows me to watch tv live on my hd which is cool and its FREE but other than sky news the other channels kinda suck, does anybody know if i can add channels to this particular software or if theres another tv app with better channels! it would be cool if somebody could help im not sure how to post the cab file so i'll put the link here so anyone can have a play enjoy!
Download theChanner
There is WebTV and myPlayer is also good. You'll need Core Player to view TV although you may find some success with Media Player and the built in HTC Streaming Media application.
thanks alot for the feeback mate i'll try those out!
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.

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
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"
Hey guys!
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a couple days now, and I was thinking of loading it up with some movies I have at home. The problem is, I've ripped the movies in 720p .mp4 format on my Mac - but it won't play with the stock ICS player.. Rock Player works sort of, it shows video but it doesn't hide the on-screen buttons.
Rip details is: 720p h.264, AAC audio
Any ideas?

Yeah, stock gallery doesnt play wide range of codecs yet so I rely on MX player instead. But having the same problem tho about the on screen buttons :/
I find that the "dice" player from android market plays more stuff than any thing i can get straight .mkv files running perfect on my GN it is a paid app for the full version but im happy with it.

Do you have the stay-on-screen-buttons problem on Dice Player?
The only player that plays movies in full screen is Dice Player....but it has been removed from the market.
Have you tried Mobo Player? Works great on my Nexus S with mkv/mp4/whatever.

It needs some codec (which cannot find in market) to download first in order to use it...
Make sure you use the right mp4 level I think level 4 is the Max android will recognize all my encodes work so far

I'm using MX video player and MX Video Player CODEC.
Doubletwist is also very good.
All available from the market and have had no issues playing anything so far.

Cool, I forgot about Doubletwist, thanks.
I currently use QQPlayer, Diceplayer premium and Rockplayer. They all seem to play some files and not others.
I tried Moboplayer but ran into trouble installing the codec during the install process (even when installing 'offline')

Update - I just tried Doubleplayer, and while it plays everything it stuggles at times. More jerky (lower frame rate?) than QQPlayer.
I'd be happy with QQPlayer but the seek doesn't play nice. So if I miss something I have to start the video from scratch. And like I say, Dice, Mobo, Rockplayer and Realplayer (yes I was desperate) all appear to have various problems of their own.
I do recall VLC being released a year or so ago. But I guess it was pulled too?
I'd love to know if anyone has found a decent video app... (*I have a 4.5 hour daily commute into London!*)
Dice Player ftw!

Are you running a custom ROM/installed Google Play onto your Kindle Fire? I'd recommend MX Player.

Mx Player or Mobo video player.

I've tried Mobo and like it but will check out MX - have heard several mentions of that one from many here. These will contain relevant codecs or will we need to get these as needed?
i was using dice (which was recommended on another thread), but moved to bs player a few days ago and really liking it so far
hw accel works great on both, and bs has a nice feature to auto download subtitles if you're into that

No need to download any.
I use MX Video Player and BS Player (haven't decided on one to stick with, yet).
I notice that my new HTC One won't play my mkv files properly with the stock video player (plays the video but not the audio). Surprisingly, DicePlayer won't play them properly either.
However, MX Player works absolutely fine (I have it set to use S/W for the audio in Settings).
Just a heads up.

That HTC includes the Matroska media container is already a good sign, I am sure they can fix the small bug ...
MX Player is awesome, it can do everything just perfect!
Use BS Player, it is the best video player on Google Play Store

Have you tried MX Player? I just looked at BS and to me it is very ugly. MX Player works perfect. Maybe BS does too, but it could not possibly be better, and to me it is ugly.
MX Player does the job for me here.

MX Player is the best. You can use HD+ for the video in Settings too.

I have used and extensively tested both. BS Player is the better one.
Few things that make BS Player stand out over the rest are:
Easily stream files from other device from your network.
Auto subtitle downloader. This particular one is amazing.
For instance you download a movie or tv show on your pc/laptop, you use BS Player to stream it and it will find the correct subtitle for that video and apply it.
Use BS Player, it is the best video player on Google Play Store.
I use BS player for me the best player..
I use Mobo Player ALOT, it's great, it plays almost everything, has some great settings, plus you can go back to your homescreens and it'll window the video for you so you can still watch whatever it is that you're viewing.
I've also been using VLC Player too, it's still in 'beta' but it's stable as hell and plays everything!
I had to use it as Mobo Player was messing up some of my anime subs.
<3 them both!
VLC
VLC media player does its best
Personally, I've found the Archos player to be leagues ahead of anything else.

Same here... Ive used MX, VLC and VPlayer.... Archos much better and also pulls in your shared network library of movies.
Defo worth trying out.
Ive had disappointing results with MX Player on the ARHD 7.0 - for some reason I cannot enable HW playback so my 720p videos stutter along in SW mode. They run fine on my Galaxy S2

Wow... Archos looks awesome... like XBMC (which is also an option for Android from xbmc.org, but not in the play store)
EDIT: Archos won't play my DTS encoded MKV without buying the codecs. Lame. EDIT: I stand corrected, I guess there is a free codec too.

TOTALLY forgot about XBMC for android!!! I'm an XBMC junkie but haven't modified my HT setup for a while. thanks for the reminder! I just installed it and it looks just like the desktop app. I'll have to do some testing fir sure. if anyone else is interested, here's the link:
http://xbmc.org/download/
Easy to maintain settings as well according to their website. It saves it in user data so updates don't wipe them out.
