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.

MX works for me - plays .avi from external flash drive. Happy camper here.

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

I am currently using DicePlayer with the custom plugin for DTS. Plays every MKV I have thrown at it over wireless, up to 1080p.

Did you have to do anything else to make it play from the external flash drive?

MX player all the way!

VPlayer in my opinion!

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 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.

MX is renowned as the best video player in Android

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)

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

[Q] Any video player that support dts ?

Recently I bought an otg cable from the ebay
today I decided to plugin my 2TB external hard disk to the note II to play some HD videos unfortunately In any of the video players i had audio track seemed to be working
i tried Samsung video player, mx player, dice player
Is there any video player that support these files ?

Video player

Hi, it seems like most video players are not working on android 4.3. I use archos & mxplayer and both are not working. I just recently tried vplayer and even though it works I want a player that can download subtitles on the fly. Can someone please recommend any compatible options !!!

bsplayer works fine and has everything you want

I'm not sure if it supports subtitle downloading, but the VLC Android beta I installed yesterday played back a 1080p movie with subtitles flawlessly. So I would highly recommend that. I honestly didn't know that certain movie players on Android download subs automatically, but if you are transferring movie files manually, can't you also retrieve the subs on your PC, just as you did the with the actual movie file(s)?

I grabbed one of their nightlies for the ARMv7 chipset. It was a guess, but a correct one: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/armv7-android/.

I tried playing the latest top gear episode and the same happened. None of them would work. Finally, I got the VLC nightly which worked perfectly.

Verified MXPlayer working now after update. Plays everything, and now including music.

Been using dice player for all my android devices to great satisfaction.

Hmm, still doesn't work for me though, maybe they updated the update?
EDIT: Nope, still broken... odd it works for others.

Video player

Hi guys.
Can you please tell me if your stock video player can read bluray hd movies and ac3 codec audio ?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

bs and mx player work for me. you'll need to dl a custom codec for mx player though. archos works with the free codec, but its performance has been crappy after the last few updates so i've quit using it. it's got the best UI though.

i dont know what you mean by bluray hd movies but, stock player does not support AC3 codec...
mx player works very well and it does not require other codecs to download... dice player is very good too...

Had same issue with MOBO player when I wanted to play a Bluray copy, so I downloaded Dice and BSPlayer - MOBO player decided it would play the file but not audio (Need codec), Dice didn't want to play the file at all while BSPlayer was the only one that decided to work flawlessly.
So i recommend BSPlayer but all three (If you can be bothered to mess about with codecs) are very good video players.

sadly, if you grab a 2012 gn 10.1 you'll have ac3 in the stock player. they chose not to license it int this version.
