i just watched an AVI movie today using bsplayer lite, it free from market.
The other two players i have installed is Dice and Mobo. I kind of switched based on format.

So far I only watched avi and mkv. Using qqplayer as my primary movie player.

not sure, they all seems to be better for different formats. I have not found a favorite

I know this will sound like a crazy question but, is there any way to convert a movie directly on the phone?

MX Video Player
I use MX Video Player and it plays everything. Drop and drag movies, and play. Simple as that.
It also recognizes .SRT files too!

I also use Mx player. It is awesome. You can swipe to change subtitle time.

MX players seems to be the consensus. Trying it meow

yeah mx movie player is the best I've used so far. No need to convert and I haven't found a format it doesn't play.

diceplayer ftw if you want to watch HD content.
don't know if mx player's been updated since but it would stutter when playing HD videos, prompting me to switch to diceplayer. full hw acceleration and smooth playback of 1080p mkv's.

+1 to DICE Player. Bought it when it was able to buy but the trial version is now a full-completed ad version. Couldn't be happier.

I prefer MP4 because the phone has a hardware decoder. Which probably saves some power.

try mxplayer pro + codec
if v/a do not sync well then it's time for you to convert it to:
mp4 format
320x240
mpeg4 + acc

These settings are nice:

I would rather recommend BS Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free . It has a slightly better performance when playing high resolution videos.

Thx guys..
How about watch online HD movie??

bsplayer plays hq videos succesfully. it also suppprt any video format live mov,mkv,vob.......
but hd videos plays very slowly

[Q] Best video player for the Xperia Play?

Hi there all.
This is a simple question: what's the best video player for the Xperia Play? I mean, for playing HD (720p, not 1080p) content.
I used a lot Moboplayer, but it slows a lot in HD videos, even installing the codecs... And the latest versions of Moboplayer take a while to start and it's a bit annoying...
What video player do you use for HD content? Please, if the recommendation you give needs some codec, say wich one (a direct link can be even more helpfull!).

I installed MX Player and it worked fine with anime episodes in 720p, and without any codec!
Thanks!:victory:

MX Player H/W+ no sound

I've recently just changed to the S4 mini and so far no complaints. I use MX player a lot to watch films etc off the internet and after using the H/W+ decoder the video plays fine but there's no audio, had anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance

It just means your hardware decoder has no support for the audio codec your video is currently playing.

Would it be worth getting the codec pack that can be downloaded I think its a arm7 version it suggests.

You could give it a try - no harm in that. I think there's a NEON package as well try that

2 and 4k video playback

OK no matter how I go to watch a 2 or 4k video trailer it lags very bad. I am on charters 60mbs service. Getting 59.9mbs with a speed test on my tablet. I tried loading it through my player, the stock video player, chrome, and the stock browser. It all lags and shutters badly making it impossible to watch.
Why would this play? YouTube app will not play higher than 720 and if I load it in the browser it also won't give me the option to watch it in full hd or higher

First of all, the Tab Pro/S screens aren't even 4k resolution so you wouldn't gain anything from watching it at that high of a resolution. Secondly, I'll leave it to the next person!

I know that this is only a 2k screen but it should be able to play a 2k or a 4k video right? 1080 plays fine with no lag or anything.

Can you provide a link to a video that is laggy?

only the 4k video lagged for me. The 1080p ones played fine. Must be the exynos chip in your 325

Mine has the snapdragon 800. The 1080s play fine but the 4ks don't. There are some 2k videos on that site and they lag too.

Wanted to chime in here... I have the U.S. Galaxy tab pro 8.4, I did not update to the newest version of software it keeps telling me that is ready to install. Its the black model...
I have on my networked server the timescapes 4k 2560p video clip. I copied it over to the 16gb built in sdcard storage on the tab and played the file using the stock video player.
It plays fine and is 99% smooth, here and there it may hitch once or twice. What I did notice is there may be a ghosting problem on this tab because the stars from the video clip smear when they move and are sharp when they don't in the background.
So 4k videos do play smooth its just there is ghosting.. This file was a .mp4
Maybe streaming them is the problem compared to playing them from storage with the video player built in

1440p and above lag for me using the chrome browser on YouTube (desktop version). Will try a downloaded clip to see if I get the same results.
