Whats the best media player?

What is the best video and audio player for Nexus7? I have PowerAmp and Vplayer and they are good I'm just wondering whats new and better. Is there an awesome all in one player that plays all videos, movies, music and online video, audio streams and supports all video and audio formats?

XBMC is the daddy

Either VLC or XBMC, there are beta versions for the N7 floating around which are relatively stable (though I've had problems with force closes in VLC). I don't think either is mature enough yet to replace Poweramp/VPlayer/DicePlayer, but once the bugs are ironed out and releases made official these will be the 'play-everything' apps.

I like Moboplayer, although I'm not sure if it's powerful enough for your needs, but it does everything I need it too.

I like MX.

Dice is pretty good and it has no ads.

I've found Diceplayer has the best HW playback. For example its the only one that will play FLV using hardware decoding while the others have to use software.

Nexus 4 users out there, can you post screenshots of your Music Player? I am curious if there's any difference from JB stock player or it is basically the same with Music Player from Google Play? Thanks.

I'm sure some Googlers have it already but it's unlikely they'll post in here

I'm pretty sure it's going to come with Google Play Music. If ever, your current Play Music app will be updated to the new or do a side load.

On an updated only-for-4.2 version maybe?

I highly doubt it. If for some reason Google wants to do that, I'm sure an apk file will pop up. At the very least we will here about it from some type of news source.

I'm I the only person who finds it fugly? I really don't like the blue. Needs to be updated to match the rest of the system.

The looks of it are neutral to me. I don't know whether I like it or not lol

The stock is Google Play Music. No separate music player. You can always download another from Google Play.
This is when you click on mp3 file in system.

In app video problem

I was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this. When I go into apps like ign and there is a video to watch I can't get the video to play and go into media format. Usually all I can get is the sound from the video. Is there any app or Rom I can download to fix this?

Are you using stock player? I use MX player and it works great
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

I just downloaded the pro version of mx player and I still am having that issue. For example if you download the free ign app in the play store then click reviews in the app, then let's say you click black Ops 2 in the review section, and then proceed to try and watch the video at the top it will not play except for maybe audio.

It sounds like codec problem. I know MX has different codec downloads in the play store. I just never had this issue before
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

Tried every codec and still not working. Is anyone able to download the ign app to see if it's just me or the app itself? If anyone downloads it go into reviews>black ops 2>click the video at the top of the review and see if you can get it to work

Why struggle with getting the app to work when you get the same experience when you goto ign.com? Plus I got the video to play just fine from the browser... good luck!
edit: the video did not play from the app for me either

The app is more convenient plus I've had this problem in other apps with videos attached

I'm guessing these are just app problems with bad development

Offline music on android

I notice that every time I listen to music through an app such as soundhound or YouTube and when I look the screen or switch an app that the app closes. So is there any app that could prevent this please.
Thanks in advance.

Amazon Prime Video

There was a thread about this in the general section, but I can't find it now and its probably better suited here.
So has anyone been able to get it to play videos?
I sideloaded the app and it loads up fine, but when you click a movie it closes.

Not sure how everyone else watches but I use Firefox with phony plugin set to firefox desktop.

Yeah I'm aware of playing it with flash, but having the stand alone app would be a better option.

Amazon wouldn't let another 7" Android tablet cut into their Kindle sales ;P

I realize that, but this is android so there is generally always a work around.

I think there have been some changes in the way Android handles video playback. I side loaded MX Player and it doesn't support 4.3, HBO Go never loads

Yes, I know how to get it to work with flash in the browser. I am specifically looking for it to work using the app.
