[REQ] Fullscreen Movie Player - Sony Xperia ZL

Before the update to .253 the movie player would play in full screen view even if auto rotate is disabled. Now you have to enable screen rotation to watch a movie in full view, and I dont like having auto rotate set. Would it be possible to change it so movies are always fukllscreen? Perhaps someone can upload the apk from an older firmware.

I have tried many players but nothing is better than the stock one, its simple and doesnt drain battery.

Video Player

Hey guys, just wondering what everyone is using for a video player? I tried vital player and v player and they both fc :/ any ideas for playing .avi on ics?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I use MX player
Ive had quite good results with both the ones you've listed definitely faster frame rate with 1080p avi's with vplayer..
MX Player has been really good for me, for videos that play without sound in the Gallery you can enable audio software decoding and software decoding works well for video too.

All these players dont fully stretch video image in the sides like the default player. You got full screen only in default player. In the other hand default player does not support str subtitles and also opes all videos with H/W decoder and as a result most videos lag....for example in MX Player you can choose S/W decoder and the video plays smooth like butter.
If you're willing to spend some money Dice Player works perfectly. It plays 720p mkvs fluidly and even supports embedded subtitles. It even hides the main buttons when it's in fullscreen for that 4.65 HD screen goodness : )
Theres a thread somewhere in here about it. There's also a demo version on the market:

I use mx video player and it stretches to full screen, even when skipping through the video it shows no bars or anything just pure video

How did you get it to stretch full screen?
The buttons are still there on full screen...
When I get home I'll find out my setting and what works

They are for me too. Diceplayer got rid of them but I cant get the full version now. Hopefully it will turn up somewhere.
Diceplayer is the only one that goes true full screen as of now.
MX Player still shows buttons in full screen.
I think these two are currently the best. Both are worth trying out as each has it's own strengths, find out which works better for your files/subtitles.
The full version of Diceplayer is back up

i am using moboplayer for my sgy, its very good and it has screen lock option which is very useful while watching videos
MX Player is a good one, it could play any video formats and with HW accel (less lag than SW) and a touch lock feature
I recommend DAROON PLAYER
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
sir if i play 720p or 1080p videos on mx there is a lag in the video in sw mode..............how to fix it sir!!!!!!!!!!!!
mx video player is good ,yes it hangs a bit in 720 p and above(may be due to lack of sufficient hardware support) but is still an advanced player as compared to others even has a pinch to zoom function
is there any other option to play a 700mb file in it??

[Q] Movies app not showing all videos + forced landscape playback

Stock .200 JB. When I record videos there are only displayed in Album but not in the Movies app. It's hard to find a video with all those pictures about. I have 5 videos in the movies app shown, the other 10 are not shown, all new videos are not displayed as well.
I tried clearing the data for Movies but still only loads 5 videos.
Also, when I record a video in portrait I am forced to watch it in landscape, WTF?
Try mxplayer it's much better

Uninstall the damn thing and use another player.
I am not looking for an alternative app, I am looking for a solution to continue using Sony's app.

extra codec.
If you have any playback issues, try hitting the S/W or H/W button in the upper right.
I had an MKV that just had a black screen, until i switched it from Hardware to Software.
For MX player I use HW+ always and have found it works better than sw or hw.
