Ohi. Did some searching but couldn't find an answer to this question, so here goes:
Is there a Galaxy Nexus port of the TouchWiz video player app? I'm not necessarily talking about Galaxy S3's video player, I'd be okay with Galaxy S2's video player too. So, has anyone ported it yet? If not, is it possible to do?

i'm not sure if it's anything like the galaxy s, but that player used codecs that were tied into the rom itself so i'm not sure such a thing would be possible.
Hey, i'm getting a note 2, should be here tomorrow (yay!) I have a question about playback that maybe someone who has one could answer, i did some googling but sadly found nothing. How is the playback when your playing 720p and 1080p .mkv? Can the stock player do it? and if it can't how is it on 3rd party players? Does it jump or stutter at all? Thanks
I use MXPlayer for almost everything
MXplayer is the way to go!
The Note II is the first Android device I've owned where I've felt no need to use anything other than the stock player (and I've had many, going back to the G1).
Regards,
Dave

For the most part the stock player will play well, but some 1080p videos it will play choppy a bit. MXPlayer plays them ssmmmoottthhhh!
I bought my daughters nexus 7's for christmas and took them out to get them set up and get some of their favorite games installed and load some of our videos on that they like to watch on my phone. I noticed that the stock video player on the nexus 7 doesn't play many different video formats, basically only mp4 files. The stock touchwiz video player on my galaxy s3 has played every file I have thrown at it with no stuttering and no problems. I was wondering if there was a way to get the video player from my phone onto the nexus 7, would it be possible to use titanium backup to back the video player up and just install the apk on the nexus 7s, or is it more tied into the touchwiz ui than just the video player apk? I know I can use mx player, or another one from the play store, but honestly, I have never found one that outperforms the stock galaxy s3 video player.
Yes! Thank you!

I agree 1000% percent. I have some free MKV files that came with purchased movies. I was able to copy them to my Galaxy S3, as well as AVI's, and it played them flawlessly, not conversion, just like I would play these on my Windows PC or Playstation. I too dont want to install some app from the market and additional codecs to try and get my MKVs to play. But I did try, and it doesnt work. This tells me there's something in the Samsung S3 VideoPlayer app that can play these videos, and that means it should easily be able to run within Nexus 7. I too am trying to find the valid VideoPlayer.apk to try and install it on my Nexus 7. Have you tried that yet? Let me know if you do get it to work. I really love my Nexus, but a few things irk me. No support for Adobe Flash, the video camera app is set to 480p but found posts where you can turn on the ability for 720p, and this, playing MKV and AVI files.
I have always used MX Player on all of my Samsung phones and tablets for at leas the last 3 years.
I've never used the stock Samsung video player to play anything until today. I noticed the stock video player
produced a MUCH sharper picture than MX Player. I tried this comparison on my phones as well and got
the same results.... the Samsung stock video player always had the sharper pictures. (Note 3, Note 2 and
S4)
I tried to adjust everything setting in MX Player that I can think of, including codec, and changing from HW to
HW+ to SW decoding.... made no difference. The picture was always softer than the stock video players.
All of the videos were either 720p or 1080p MKV/MP4s.(recorded from 1080i output from my HD DVR
or converted from Blu-ray discs)
Is there something else that I can do to make pictures sharper? (or at least as sharp as stock video player?)
Thanks!
stock video player is optimized for the display. may be thats y
Yeah stock is optimized for your device which is why while MX player is compatible for most versions of android of devices which is a lot to optimize for each device.
Codec for thr stock vider player

When I use the stock video player I get the message that audio is not possible as I do not have the right audio codec for this film.
Can someone please let me know where I can get the right audio codec for the stock video player.
Thank you.

I guess it's the AC3 codec you have problem with, it's been mentioned before if you take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/codecs-samsung-video-player-t2812549
but it's a easy fix, if you read the post I made in the thread it will let you play AC3 audio too, so now I'm using the stock video player instead of MX Player.

My tab S is not rooted, as I am a new comer to Android ( this is my first tablet ).
Is there no other way of using the stock Video player with AC3 sound without rooting my Tab S?
thank you.

no, not what I heard of as they removed support for AC3, you can use MX Player if you don't want to root it, but it's really simple to root. what version of Tab S do you have?

Is it psychological or is it possible there is no difference playing a 2560x1600 video between MX player and stock player? I mean, I don't see this difference you speak of, but I want to make sure.
Any way to stream to the samsung video app from my pc via smb. Right now I'm going through es explorer and it's ok on 720p but on 1080p m2ts or mkv I get loading circle every few seconds.
I get the same from mx player too. Bsplayer can stream from smb directly but I think picture quality isn't as good or may be just my imagination.

You can guys articulate what exactly "optimized" means with regards to that?
Also wanted to point out about the audio with the stock player Is that it has 7.1 surround sound which makes it incredibly better than the MX Player decoded with a double volume amp

Can anyone else verify that the stock player looks better than mx or bsplayer. I tried playing the nature video that comes on the tab S and a few others and they look about the same to me. Hard to tell. Maybe it's a little better, but that could be placebo effect.
On the other hand, there are lots of video the stock player just can't play.

The crap about stock being "optimized" is pure bull****. The standard and decoding algorithms are well defined and the only possibility is if stock adds artificial sharpening which would actually reduce quality compared to the intended picture. This is pure placebo and a lively imagination talking. Just use mx and enjoy a much better codec support.

Hey there!
My question is not exactly about the stock and mx player video player but about videos. The question is I know that the resolution of the tab's display is very very high and with this high resolution watching movies with their lower resolution the movies on this tablet won't be as sharp as the display itself, so the question is which resolution is ok for watching on this tablet? I mean if I download a 720p movie or series and try to watch it on the tab s 8.4 will it be sharp enough not to realize the pixels during the film or for example a DVD quality film is also ok with this tablet to watch on? Hope you could understand me, i'm hungarian and hard to describe my problem. )
Hi everyone, I only want to know, if there's a way to port the samsung galaxy note 4 music player to the Lg G4, that's only because I like the samsung music player and some features, like choose the best part of the track and make it as ringtone, thanks in advance

I would also love to see the Samsung music player on LG G4. I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and I loved the SoundAlive sound effects, especially the reverb. I have been using Viper4AndroidFX since, and whilst I like it a lot, I find that SoundAlive handled all my music a lot better.
More than likely it requires the Touchwiz framework like a lot of Samsung apps. Chances are almost slim to none that it could be ported to anything other than a Samsung phone
It definitely requires resources from TW, which makes it difficult to do it.
