Looking for a good video/movie player

So I was poking around and found out that the VLC beta isn't fully supported for the N7 just yet. Most of my movies are in .avi format and the native Google Movies app doesn't support it.
My question is, is there any decent movie/video players out there that will support the .avi format? Paid or free, doesn't really matter to me.

I tried about 10 players, the only one that played my mkv's properly was dice player

I use MX player, plays all my .mkv and such fine. Also streams from my NAS no problem.

Hrm, didn't work for me. Had video, no audio.

MX works for me - plays .avi from external flash drive. Happy camper here.

Alright, tried mx player again. Switched to sw decoder (fast), works perfect now. Woot.

I am currently using DicePlayer with the custom plugin for DTS. Plays every MKV I have thrown at it over wireless, up to 1080p.

Did you have to do anything else to make it play from the external flash drive?

MX player all the way!

VPlayer in my opinion!

Yes, agreed. It plays everything I can throw at it. Even takes a stream from my satellite box.

I tried playing an MKV with VPlayer and MX Player, neither seemed to play properly. Tried BS Player and that worked perfectly.

Hmmm, not sure why but I have no sound when using MX player....anyone esle?

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

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.

I can't decide between BS Player and MX Player so I use both. Paid versions. Good luck finding best one for you.

i used mxplayer but switched to diceplayer as it lets you play in pop-out video while checking e-mail etc

BSplayer can play video in "external mode", so everywhere, while you are surfing, reading email etc... and you can resize, pause or clse the video.
MXplayer doesnt provide this feature.

MX is renowned as the best video player in Android

I found Dice WITH the use of an externel ffmpeg lib (nathan118 to be more specific) to be the best one for me (read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769799)

i have got no problem with video format in BSplayer.

I use diceplayer because with the plug in I can play files with DTS sound

I recommend super video the video floats over your current task its also resizable n the best thing about it is its free!!!

DicePlayer is my favourite. Smooth and you can activate Plugins if you need to.

I use mxplayer and have no complaints. Love it.

I use BS Player because it read everything well and has a LAN Mode. But the UI is horrible.

My combo: BSplayer (soft decode) for WMV + DICE Player for everything else

Best movie player for Nexus 7?

What's the best movie player for playing 720p files? I've heard the stock player doesn't play all file formats. What do you use?

MX Player is always a great choice and is always one of the first things I download when I get a new device

I second the use of MX Player - been running it on both my phone and the Nexus 7 and it's great. I like that it was gesture controls as well as on-screen buttons.

The app called 'MX player' is the best player I found. It plays just about any type of video format you there.

I used MX player since I purchased the N7 and i found it almost perfect. For everything else, you can try the nightlies of XMBC. Probably once it will be polished will be a good alternative.

no love for Diceplayer?

I did not know about this one, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!
So far I've been using MXplayer, however, and ideally, I wish I could solely use VLC as I'd prefer to rely on open source software.

Diceplayer works well for me using hardware decoding.
MXplayer stutters for me using hardware decoding. Software decoding works fine on MXplayer, but uses more battery than h/w decoding.

Nothing I have found gas played 1080p video with DTS audio add well add bsplayer. This is very important to me add I rather not have top convert or download different versions for my mobile device

No one here uses "Super Video, Floating and Popup"? This and Mobo player have been ole faithfuls for me. For one Super Video has gestures, (turn volume up and down while watching movie), Also after one video ends, it automatically plays another. (Works very well when watching saved music videos, and don't want to have to click on another video after the last one ended.) It also has minimizes to a small floating video so you can see your home screen in the background while you continue to watch movies/videos.
If MXplayer does this also, i might need to give it a try.

The stock gallery app is easily the best for playing videos it supports.
I don't think other players support the LPcore and stuff, and they use waaay too much processing power. I have tried 3rd party ones but they all use more than one core at nearly full freq most of the time. This is why I'm using stock
Feel free to prove me wrong though

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:

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.
