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.

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)

in fact like others i use both
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!!!

BSPlayer, by far.
Mkv at 1080p with audio DTS, flawlessly.

I bought bs player pro, but had problems with it in 4.2, dice player is what I'm using now for smb streaming

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

I use vplayer

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

i just watched an AVI movie today using bsplayer lite, it free from market.
The other two players i have installed is Dice and Mobo. I kind of switched based on format.
So far I only watched avi and mkv. Using qqplayer as my primary movie player.

not sure, they all seems to be better for different formats. I have not found a favorite
I know this will sound like a crazy question but, is there any way to convert a movie directly on the phone?
MX Video Player
I use MX Video Player and it plays everything. Drop and drag movies, and play. Simple as that.
It also recognizes .SRT files too!
I also use Mx player. It is awesome. You can swipe to change subtitle time.

MX players seems to be the consensus. Trying it meow
yeah mx movie player is the best I've used so far. No need to convert and I haven't found a format it doesn't play.

diceplayer ftw if you want to watch HD content.
don't know if mx player's been updated since but it would stutter when playing HD videos, prompting me to switch to diceplayer. full hw acceleration and smooth playback of 1080p mkv's.

+1 to DICE Player. Bought it when it was able to buy but the trial version is now a full-completed ad version. Couldn't be happier.
I prefer MP4 because the phone has a hardware decoder. Which probably saves some power.

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.

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

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?

I've tried looking around but I don't see any one talking about it...

MX and Dice Player are the best options imo, I've only been using MX player though as it hasn't given me any problem with any of my movies including 720 & 1080p flicks. I heard MX dropped DTS support so some movies may not have sound, that's where dice player comes in.

Yeah, I kinda regret buying MXPlayer Pro. Should have read up more before buying anything. BSPlayer is good but, no screen lock.
DICE Player plays my .avi files but, sometimes, I have to start them a couple of times because the video will fc and throw me back to the Skifta Video Browse screen. Weird.
Yes it is good, but I want an app that hides the soft keys like the video app which incidentally works great for mp4 files.

The main reason I switched was becuase I was getting no audio with .mkv files in MX Player, whereas in BS Player all the files I tried were ok.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
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.

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.

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
