Video Player Samsung Vibrant

Hi guys,
I am lokking for the video player app from Samsung Vibrant where I can look the screen during watching videos.
I haven't found any other player with this feather
Does anybody know the correct name of the app or can share it!?!
Thanks
Don't think anyone had successfully ported it yet

Get mVideoPlayer from the market.
It's free, plays 720p downloaded mkv's without converting, not a problem, and supports external (only tried .srt) and internal subtitles. It's fast too.
I am searching for the look screen option, because when you would like to watch a movie and hold your phone in your hands, you may push a button.
And I think at the moments its the only app that have this feature.
So maybe anyone can port it

You can lock the screen with the power button (default videoplayer).
Locks screen and softkeys.
When you use the power button by Samsung Galaxy S the phone switch to sleep mode!
Thats strange. Mine locks the screen. Lock symbol appears in one corner. Pressing powerbutton again unlocks the screen. No matter if video started with videoplayer or through gallery.
I'm currently running JM5 firmware. Same behavior with stock JF3.

same JM5, same behaviour here, no need for third party app. the mVideoPlayer with subtitle capability is interesting though...
ionutz6: I think it's faster than the stock one, and has some "library" functions like bookmarks, remembers the time when closing videos, and mark the ones viewed (great for TV Shows).
And did I say it's free?
can this player do variable speed playback ?

Works fine with .ass subtitles too. I can't get it to play mkv internal subtitles though, I've got to use mkvextract and stick the files in the folder myself. Still can't find a player which will deal with multiple audio tracks either . Pain in the bum - means I've got to use mkvextract to rip out video, subs plus the audio track I want, then merge the vid/aud and keep the subs separate.
my default video player app supports has the lock feature by pressing the power button
and mVideoplayer also have a "lock controls" feature under the "more" menu

Names of Videos in stock Gallery.

Hi all,
One of the best things of the SGS for me is not having to convert anything. I watch a lot of tv shows with my phone.
There is no way, at least none that I'm aware of, to display the name of the file under the thumbnail, so I'm forced to open a video just to know its name.
Is there a way or an app that would let me display the name of the file before opening it?
That silly feature would make worth paying for a gallery app from where I stand.

Only way to do it is to select the file them click on more and then details. Been looking for a good gallery replacement but havent found one yet.....
I didn't think of that. But it's still faster to open the vids one by one.
You can also create a video shortcut in the homescreen and you'll get to the videos by name. But you won't get them by folders, so it mixes up shows with camera videos.
Or open it with myfiles and go to the folder and open from there. I wonder if you can create a shortcut to a folder on the home screen.
All workarounds.
Why not use the Video Player app that came with the phone?.... show name and thumbnails

[Q] PROBLEM* Sounds from apps are in the Music Player?

Hi,
I have the HTC Desire HD and downloaded some games. Now most of the sounds from the games and apps are played in the music player.
I saw on other posts that you can hide the folders or something like that, but those answers were for other phones and I don't know how to fix this problem on the DHD.
Please help me, since I don't want all these sounds to be playing when listening to music.
(I don't have any knowledge of android so step by step instructions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated)
THx!

go to the market ans search for StudioKUMA .nomedia Manager, that will let you manage your .nomedia folders
http://www.appbrain.com/app/studiokuma-nomedia-manager/com.studiokuma.nomedia
I will try it and let you know! Thanks for the fast reply!

after you put a .nomedia file in a folder, you must reboot before it disapears from the media player
Now I have another problem. I went to download the app but when I went to play a game today on the DHD the phone froze (I think because of the bad game I just downloaded) and it was a bit laggy and then I restarted the phone and deleted the game.
After doing so, I went to the Music player and it says: "No Music Found"
but I do have a lot of music on my SD card.
The problems has nothing to do with the app I downloaded because I still didn't open the app and everything happened before I downloaded the app.
SO now I don't have any music in the player to choose which one to hide.
I already restarted the phone 5 times and removed the SD card to see if that's the problem, but still the same.
Please if you can help me, let me know! or if this has to be moved to a new Thread or topic let me know.
ThX
That is strange. I had also some pictures of a game in the gallery.
So I created a .nomedia.txt file and put it on my sd card.
Then I renamed it with ES File explorer to .nomedia and put it into the folder the pictures are. Now the gallery doesn't search in this folder but my game is still working.
Edit: Maybe you created the .nomedia File in the wrong folder.
Hi,
I didn't use the app yet. So now there is nothing in my Gallery it says" no photos or video found and it says the same in the Music player.
Please someone help me.
Should I open a new thread?
Or can you guys help me in here also?
Let me know asap!

is your sd card working fine?, i mean are the files all threre? maybe your card is corrupt
All the files are there :S
If I use the eFile Manager App, I can see all the music picture and videos on the sd card and play the music only one by one when using the eFile Manager app. But otherwise I think the gallery is not scanning my phone to see all the music, videos and pictures on the phone or it stopped scanning.
What should I do?

[Q] can i remove the original music player ?

hey,
I installed power amp but when there is lock screen it shows first the original music player.
On the original music player there are no settings at all. and i tried the poweramp settings but for no help.
my last option that i can think of is to remove the original music player, or at least to freeze it.
is it plausible?
If it is, which file i should delete\freeze ?
And can it harm something else ??
Go to poweramp settings and make sure lock screen widget is enabled. Also make sure that the stock music player is playing.
You can only delete/freeze/disable the default music player if you're rooted.

yeah, the lock screen is enabled. but why do i need the stock music to play ?
and yes, my phone is rooted.
You should be able to remove the default music player with titanium backup. Not sure if it will affect anything else though.
You can make a backup of the app before removing just in case you need to restore it again

I have never had problems with uninstalling the stock music app with titanium backup.

Oops, meant not playing
Maybe the stock music player is switching on when you play, and you're getting the default lock screen widget instead of whatever you want.
If you're rooted, then titanium, su/terminal commands, and plenty of other apps will help delete stock music.
thanks guys.
My Q is what is the name of the app freeze\delete ?
Cuz i cant find it. i freeze couple of apps but it wont help.
maybe something lockscreen app ?
Not sure what rom you are using, but beware of deleting music.apk as on gingerbread roms deleting music.apk also deletes the video player, im not sure if there are separate apk's with regards to ICS or JB, so you may wish to look in to that prior to deleting music..
connect your phone to pc/mac go to command line/terminal and type:
adb shell rm /system/app/Music.apk
you must have adb installed. in ICS and JB it does not delete the video capability. Some ROMs come without GoogleMusic and video works just fine. However, as far as I remember there is an option to turn off the default player in lockscreen.
root your phone, and then use something like root explorer and find the apk file and remove it
otrfse UNIX
i do this with every rom i flash. never had an issue.

MP3 Player - Samsung Pebble

Hi Guys,
haven't seen this come up in the thread but I have the Pebble MP3 player accessory that "matches" the Galaxy S3
You are supposedly able to copy "drag and drop" music from your phone to the MP3 player and vice versa.
I can see the files whilst using the stock and solid explorer (running a Sammy and AOSP ROM) but whenever attempting to copy either from the phone to the "pebble" or vice versa it fails and a notification pops up telling me the SD card was unexpectedly removed?!!!
Any ideas?
Thanks

Here is the same, I don't know what to do, any suggestions?
have you guys tried using the muse sync application?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.musesync
I'm pretty sure the muse app is a requirement for syncing with your Galaxy S3 or any other recent Sammy phone.

not downloadable in Italy. It should work just with the file manager apk.
It seems to be just a step far from working perfectly.
