VLC is pretty great for being an alpha. Stock player is still the best though.

Nothing beats stock player atm. I'm on CM7, so I don't have the flawless Samsung player, hence I also need a replacement. The best I've got so far is mobo player, however it can't handle HD videos that well. There's also Rock player, but to me it seemed even worse than Mobo player. I've also gave VLC player a try, but in this alpha stage it's unusable; it has lower than 1 FPS on HD videos. So, I'm waiting for improvements on either of them.

I use QQPlayer for playing RMVB files. Super I should say

Vplayer, all the way.

Multi audio track in single file.
Single MKV/MP4 file may have 2 or more audio track.
some players like dice,mx can choose audio track.

Ohk. Thanks

There seems to be 2 Mobo players on the market. The original one, and a "newer" one. No idea if the newer one is legit or notably different.
Generally, there is very little the stock player won't handle, if you find something then Mobo seems to be able to deal with it.

My Samsung Galaxy s2 Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 Files with Ac3 audio decoded. I was able to play those using Dice player or rockplayer. But i dont have an option called 5.1 to enable on those players unlinke stock player.
The official Samsung Site or other specification gives the specification (This is from wikipedia)
For audio it supports (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF). For video formats and codecs it supports (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX HD/XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (ASF) as well as AVI (DivX)).
Issues:
1. Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded (Stock Media Player gives the Option 5.1 to be enabled but ac3 not playing)
2. Other players play it Under software decoding, But main Problem is 5.1 isn't working with Head phones
I googled and found some Users were able to Play it with stock media Players. Read something like "I dont have any problem playing those files, I just copy and play them"
I am now confused is this happeneing with my device alone, So guys how do you dea this?
Please reply so that i would be grateful to you guys

Until someone makes video codec for the sg2 Mali gpu, no software codec will be able to handle high res video better than the stock video player, or lower res video with the same battery efficiency.
That being said, audio decoding and subtitle handling don't need that horsepower, and more and more players mix stock decoder hardware features for the video part and software management for the rest.

Something is wrong or missing, can't really give you an answer because I never seen that happen before. Should give more info about the file your trying to play.
Besides that, why not just stick to the 3rd party apps. I stop using stock since it barely plays anything correctly compared to both MX and Dice player anymore. Or is that 5.1 sound effect really that necessary to you?

And Dice Player handle 1080p mkv very well.

I'll double that! Dual core CPU support, HW/Software/QuickSoftware decoding modes, gestures and most importantly - it's free!

so mx player it is then ?

If you'll find something better and free - let me know, please

I use moboplayer. (free and no ads)
mx player is better for now as it uses the whole screen. Hopefully moboplayer will update it to use the full screen as well.

I've had problems with mx player. some mkv's were stuttering a lot (of course hw decoding was turned on), others worked.
now I'm using DICE player. it's free but has ads. so far I didn't come across any mkv that didn't play smoothly.

+1 for moboplayer. Havent had any problems with it.

I have MX, Mobo, and Dice. MX is my go to app for video as it seems to work the best for me. If I run across a file that won't play I try one of the other two.

Do the MKVs stutter ont he stock video player?
My experience is that all MKVs stutter, even if the video is easily decodable.
I think the demuxers in Android 4 are somewhat broken/buggy.

I've used dice, mx, mobo, and dice is the only one that plays audio with mkv files. Unfortunately its riddled with ads and the paid version is unavailable for purchase. Anyone run into this issue?

[Q] best 720p MKV player for tegra3?

Anyone found apps that play 720p mkv smoothly? (Type of stuff you get off the internet..)

You can even choose between HW acceleration or SW acceleration.

MX Player here. Uses HW acceleration, super smooth. Tried Dice Player and VPlayer, had lots of bugs on audio and video was not very smooth.

I tried MxPlayer and DicePlayer and found that DicePlayer gives me better image quality and plays everything I feed it without any problems.
My tip is to try out both Mx and DicePlayer.

bsplayer

I tried MX Player it failed to play MOV format (1080p) it was a trailer later I tried Mobo Player it works like a charm.

I've noticed the same with those players, that they support different formats, so there is no single best player really.
Like someone mentioned, MOV plays nicely with one or two players, while MKV plays nicely with few others.
I simply use 2 players which support all file formats I use.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I find these two very good: DicePlayer and MX Player, also heard BS Player to be very good too.

I would rather use the stock player too, but unfortunately it plays my mkv files without sound.
Which would be the better option? Converting the file to fit the stock player, or use players like MX Player to play those files?
Thanks

MX Player. Can switch between SW and HW decoding on the fly, and you can choose for the audio to be SW or HW too, independant of video decoding.

Yeah been using MX for a while, just concern that whether there are any compromises in sound quality when playing mkv with SW acceleration instead of HW

I've never needed to go SW sound before so I can't really say.

I've got a few 720p mkv videos and it doesn't play with sound if it's in HW mode.
The only way for me to play it with sound now is to set it to SW (fast mode or normal one).
So right now I'm just wondering if it's better to re-encode the audio so that the stock player can play it in HW, or just use MX Player and play it in SW.
Will do some experiments after I get back from work

MX can do separate encode modes for video and audio. You can run video on HW and audio on SW if you want.

Dice player plays it all but there is only one little problem with it. While playing videos there are 3 white dots (menu) remain on screen......i hope its updated soon.

Yeah but I wanna try playing the audio on HW. MX can't do that. Dice can though.

How to play MKV movies with DTS audio on Note II?

The stock movie player doesn't seem to support DTS audio. Is there another player in the market that does? Without that, I will have to re-encode my movies that has DTS audio. Thanks for any help!

I second that, MX player is one of the best players and its free plus there are many codecs that support many different types of files.

Weird Dice Player should be able to play everything. Check it's settings. I'll check when I get home tomorrow with my MKV's.

Here is a good thread, albeit from the S3 forum, on DTS audio

there is a plugin for dts on dice

it seems like none of those plugins are for the Samsung processor in the Note II? They are either for Tegra or Cortex?

i got a file mxlibs-176-neon.zip following a link above, and now dts audio is working with mx player.

Never mind I found it under accessibility.

vlc should play them also

If you only want to play the MKV files on your Note 2, I think MX player can do this, but if you want to play DTS audio,I am not sure this player can meet your demands.

[Q] Player for Blu ray rip MKVs

Hello everyone, i have Blu ray rip mkv (from 20-40gb each mkv) in my usb hdd, when i play it on my Galaxy note 2 the video runs fine but without audio and when the video starts a msg appear at the bottom says something about only video is playing. I have MX player pro, PlayerPro, Real Player and i tried on all of them and on defualt video player as well. The funny thing is the tv series episodes like vampire diaries, mentalist, big bang theory i download in 720p rip mkv(from 900mb to 1.5gb) it runs perfectly. Is there some sort of codecs i need for the audio in Blu ray rips i'm trying to play or some other player.
I'll be very grateful for help.

I tried all the apps you mentioned with no luck. Bsplayer can play everything i got in my video library.

ok I will, Thanks.

I use dice player. It's played anything I've thrown at it so far and it has a pop up feature as well.

With MX Player Pro try going into settings and changing it from H/W to S/W.. That's what I use and everything I watched plays just fine

bs player handsdown. i tried them all, non of them would play DTS audio mkv file except bs player. unfortunately, stock samsung has better video quality but no sound lol

Actually the stock player should be able to handle them.
I have mx player installed and bs player also.
One thing that bs player has that others don't, playing videos over a Windows share. You can play music videos back to back without needing to select the next song.

Both myself and my brother have played mkv files on our devices with no issues. I have the note II and he has an s III .... not sure what the issue is you are having but I don't think it is the video player... I use stock, so does he.

+1 for BSPlayer, also consider Archos with the additional Codec Add-on
I've found that on my version of the Note II, MXPlayer Pro, the default Video Player, IMToo, all did not work because of the lack of an AC3 codec.
The ones that worked were:
- Archos Video Player (with the Codec Add-On installed)
- BSPlayer
- VLC, however does not play .m4v files
- XBMC, however lags on playback
In the end it was between Archos and BSPlayer. The Archos Player has a better UI along with the ability to bookmark within the video. BSPlayer has the capability of resizing the video to any size, and locking the aspect ratio on-screen. It also connects to opensubs.org to download external subs on the fly, if needed.
Being an XBMC / OpenELEC user, since I'm comfortable with the interface and the plug-in system, I'm hoping that it will be optimized for Android in the future. When that day comes, I will switch back to XBMC. But for now, I flip back between Archos and BS Player.

Thanks for your help guys, my problem is solved
