I've been searching and reading for quite a while and haven't seen any mention any where of getting the stock Samsung video player that will work with ICS4.0 rom.
I tried installing the stock Samsung Froyo 2.2 apk on my Galaxy S Captivate that has a ICS 4 rom installed but the install failed and I'm left with no video player at all....
I want the stock Samsung player because it is head and shoulders better than ALL other video players. It will play back 720p .mkv files with out a single hitch or glitch, super smooth and perfect, nothing else even comes close to it in performance...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Won't work on ics. The framework is different. Try rock player
QQ player is pretty solid as well. It plays almost every format imaginable.
Did Samsung include a version for the Galaxy Nexus stock ICS? You could take a look there and extract it. See if that works.
Thanks for the suggestion of finding a stock ICS4 to check, I found one, but can't figure out how to extract the apk files from the system.img file ????
Here. I found a CWM zip for Galaxy Nexus and pulled the videos.apk. Hope this works for you.

Thank you very much for the file, the phone I was originally working on this on is gone to a new home, but I've got another one here I'm experimenting on too, just now researching the best path to follow to get it from i896 Rogers Canada stock 2.1update firmware to ICS with good video playback working....
thanks for the video.apk but it just show the available videos do not play them
If anyone else is following this at all, there IS a native video player in the current ICS I have loaded, but it isn't the same as the previous native players, its much worse. The video is smooth for HD MKV, but there is no sound, so obviously it uses hardware acceleration properly for video, but can't do hardware video acceleration and software audio decoding simultaneously like the excellent native player that was included with previous versions.
Is there any way to use the previous native player with ICS ? Can it be "converted" or anything like that ?
Thanks.

I love my Xperia X1 so far. Mostly good things, but some issues:
1) Video playback very choppy = no solution (same: http://www.inxperia.com/forums/xperia-x1/281-xperia-x1-will-not-play-video.html)
This is heart-shattering for me. I have my anime that watch @ breaktime at work and couldn't believe that there's no decent video player (TCPMP doesn't work with X1 + coreplayer has no video acceleration and is choppy as hell). Windows Media Player works, but the interface sucks compared to TCPMP/Core and doesn't support a lot of formats. Having to convert each video by hand with SUPER isn't a viable solution for me.
2) Buzzing sound during phone calls(same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4219836#post4219836)
3) My last phone was a SE W810i. I have a Plantronics 520 BT headset and it does NOT search and connect with the 520 when it's in range. I have to manually press the button on the bluetooth headset after I reset my device/turn off > on BT to "pair" the headset to my phone. Please, is there ANY way to prevent this behavior? I just want my phone to find my headset, connect to it, and stay connected. It's difficult to let go of this behavior since my previous (inferior) SE phone did it perfectly.
Have you tried updating it to a new ROM?
A custom ROM perhaps? I'm using Valkyrie 2.9, and it is very good at playing high quality videos---and I have not noticed any buzzing problems with a call.

Hi Fuzalert2K,
No, I haven't tried a custom ROM. I've been mostly scared of bricking my new gadget. I've done them before on my Axim X51v.
RE: high quality video playback -- how is that possible? What video player are you using? Did you compress in a special format? I was under the impression that unless you used WMP/formats compatible with Windows Media Player, videos would run choppy on the Xperia no matter what; this is because there's no compatible video player that accessed the graphics driver.
Can someone clarify this? I would gladly flash to another ROM if it meant video was fixed I use Coreplayer. Unfortunately, TCPMP didn't even run (both confirmed problems on XDA)
Shameful Bump. Can anyone confirm this? Will a hacked ROM solve the video choppiness problem?
try to update to via seus maybe u dont have R3A... im using custom rom and dont have problem with video also... and for video playback i use core player or windows media player or media panel...

I'm running a High Resolution video on my Xperia using the Xperience Panel. The Xperia handles MP4 videos without much problem..
I highly recommend you "hard-spl" your phone,
then flash it using the micro-SD method.
I have flashed my phone a little over 50 times, without the slightest hint of anything going wrong.
If you want a new interface (TouchFlo 3D), I suggest you use Valkyrie 2.9 FS, or if you don't, then go for Valkyrie Xperio. Both roms are created by agent_47 under the Xperia ROM development section. They are really fast. You can also enjoy high-resolution youtube videos!
Hi guys,
Yes, Windows Media Player does fine because it has the graphics acceleration drivers, but because HTC did not release the graphics driver chipset software, so there is no hardware acceleration for videos on Coreplayer or anything else except for WMP. How in the world are you guys not having this problem? Legions of users on XDA/Coreplayer forums are having the same problems. What FPS are you guys getting?
Also, does TCPMP work on your Xperias w/ custom ROMS.
I think thinking of trying the "Valkyrie XPERIO". I want a minimalistic ROM built for 1) Stability 2) speed

Well, I don't use coreplayer.
What is wrong with windows media player anyway? (Is the one in the Xperiance Panel?)
I do think I'm running at least 25 frames.... not much lag.

WMP does not support a variety of formats, doesn't even come close to the configurability, ease-of-use (once configured to one's own preferences), updated frequently, and overall much better than WMP.
I'm very interested to hear from people who run custom ROMS -- does Coreplayer experience the same lag as before?
Shameless bump. Anyone?

I tried a custom ROM -- Touch_X_10_1_X_TREME_BLUE -- a favorite on XDA.
Wonderful improvement over OEM, but alas DID NOT FIX video choppy problem. Whoever states otherwise is either mistaken, lying, or has ridiculously lower standards as to what constitutes "playing video" on the Xperia. I can't even get watchable rates with coreplayer. WMP works if it has a format compatible with it. Stuff like Dattebayo's Bleach (AVI)-- don't even bother.
It really sucks that HTC won't work with Coreplayer's devs to open up and give them the ability to add video acceleration. Stupid HTC

Try another custrom ROM such as energyrom or valkyrie. I myself do with these roms and they are pretty good. By using coreplayer i can watch most kinds of video format (except realplayer format : .rm,.ram...) without any lag (WMP does). So just try, it's safe & fun.
I will try valkyrie and install it very carefully using RUU method (direct microsd method doesn't work for me).
Unfortunately, I just don't see how a custom ROM solves the video lag problem. Can someone post a video of coreplayer playing dattebayo's bleach episode 233? (http://www.dattebayo.com/t/b233.torrent)
On my X1, it plays, but is choppy; choppy means that the subtitles are not smooth and jump around.
Hi all,
Just got a fix from the developers of SpeedX 3D regarding no music problem. It seems there is a problem with the OGG Vorbis decoder in Gingerbread. And this is the reason why some games loose music.
Is this possible to fix or do we have to wait for a firmware update?
Cheers.
Not in Gingerbread, but specifically in SAMSUNG's implementation of Gingerbread.

What is the best custom rom for galaxy tab p1000 beside milestone 5
I like MIUI-XJ-SGT and Overcome because almost everything that is important to me seems to work. But I think It depends on your criteria.
I've been trying every ROM I can get my hands on for the last two days, as well as multiple versions of each.
I've been looking for a rom that supports NTFS on the external SD. (MIUI and Overcome lack NTFS support)
For me the perfect ROM would have:
NTFS support on external SD
Video and Audio HW support functional in stock and installed video players.
Working YouTube app.
Working Flash support in browser.
So far I have yet to find one that satisfies all criteria.
Boca comes close, but lacks HW video in stock and most installed players except dice.
okay thanks......,..........is cynogenmod 9 still beta
I tried the latest build as of yesterday. When I try a ROM I am usually looking for the criteria I listed above, because I wish to use the tab as an effective media player.
So I found the following:
Suprisingly HW acceleration works in installed video players BUT
Hardware Audio did not.
NTFS access was very spotty, with a few apps able to see files but most unable.
Youtube force closed for me every time.
So, unless a lot has changed since yesterday, I would call that very much a beta.
LOL I just realized I may be mixing up my findings with Milestone 5. Will try CM9 again this afternoon and correct this if I find something different.
LOL I just realized I may be mixing up the findings for Milestone 5 with CM9, will try CM9 again today and update if I find something different. So many ROMs so little time!
LOL hope I am not mixing up the findings for Milestone 5 - going to try CM9 again today and will update this if I find something different
Didn't try flash in browser, because at that time I had already dismissed the ROM for my needs. Will try again on a later build.
Tested slightly newer CM9 today. Here are the findings:
I have the following build of CM9 on my tab now:
cm-9-20120511-NIGHTLY-p1-signed
Installed: gapps-ics-20120429-signed
This is most recent version posted to the CM9 nightly builds as of May 13. This was installed on a Tmobile GSM tab.
1. Wifi - Working fine
2. Market: Working fine
3. Stock Video player DOES see files on NTFS formatted sd card.
4. In Settings under Storage, NTFS formatted card is seen and correct size is stated.
5. Hardware video acceleration works in stock video player. This is using a 720p MKV file.
6. Hardware sound does not work in stock video player - at least I haven't been able to find a way to get it to work.
7. Dice Player can't see files on external SD formatted to NTFS.
8. Dice Player from files on internal storage: has HW acceleration and functioning audio - works very well.
9.. Youtube videos play very well from stock browser.
10. Stand alone Youtube app works well.
11. Observation: Copying files to internal storage via USB is slower than in the GB ROMs such as BOCA.
12. MX Player Pro Plays HW video fine (720p MKV) but has no hardware audio. Can see files on external NTFS formatted SD. Will play with sound only if software sound deconding is used. Then it works reasonably well.
13. Flash video in stock browser works.
All in all a pretty decent ROM. Only big issue is the lack of HW audio in video players, and if you want to use NTFS on your external SD, support is poor.
thank ...man this info is the best

Thanks for your great Info!
Have you tried the latest update-cm-9-20120525-NIGHTLY-p1-signed.zip?
The reason I ask is that a friend of mine has just bought one off eBay but has Froyo.
Knowing it's already rooted, is it worth moving straight to CM9 now? From your description you gave, it appears almost good to go?

Dude, there isnt such a thing like a best rom, its ****ing rude to compare the great jobs of our devs. All ics 4.0.4 roms r working better as the stock firmware by samsung and we got better support. Just try them by yourself but dont blame others by asking such stupid questions. I tried all ics 4.0.4 roms, ****ing great job, but somehow i prefer aokp. Maybe because of more features but i think switch soon. They all r freakin good. Chheers

I've been using MX player to watch my videos on the One, and I've got some issues with it. The video occassionally freezes (audio continues) and I have to either wait a couple of seconds for it to catch up, or I have to rewind/forward to get it moving again. This happens on every single video I've tried (at least ones that I've copied over via USB) and I can't seem to figure it out. Already tried using the custom ARM7 neon codec too as suggested from MXplayer but it didn't make a difference. HW+, or software renderer does not make a difference either. Anybody else having these problems ? If so, were you able to fix it, or find a workaround ?
Forgot to add that I'm still using the stock ROM.
Try uninstalling the codec pack, you don't need it unless MX Player specifically asks for it. I can't say I've had video go out of sync before though.

Thanks! I installed it just yesterday to see if it makes any difference. Until then I was using the default codec that comes with the player. I'm using the free version of MX player if that makes any difference.

Maybe try a factory rest and see if that fixes it?

Yep - also have this problem sometimes - not tried uninstalling the codecs yet so will give that a try.
You could try VLC Player for android - works great for me with no lag or O/S problems.

Hi guys,
I updated my Nexus 7 to 4.3 today and I'm now no longer able to play my previously working video files. I've used both VLC and AVP, the file plays but I get sound only and no picture.
The thumbnails for the files are displaying correctly. These are movies in .mkv and .avi format which used to work with no problems.
Has anyone else experienced this and do you think it may be a 4.3 issue or perhaps an app compatibility problem with the new Android version?
Thanks.

It isn't just you. A number of video players are not functional with 4.3. All you can do is review them in the play store and tell them. I am sure most of the App Devs are probably aware of this, but who knows...
This also happened from 4.1.2 to 4.2, just wait a day and it will be fixed by app updates

This is true, but most were a couple of weeks to be re-coded, including MX Player. What is funny is that right after I installed 4.3, MX player and a couple of others worked for a few hours then I got the Unsupported Android Version. I thought that was rather odd...
Cheers guys, I figured as much. Just wanted to make sure nothing got botched along the way!

Vplayer now supports 4.3
Videos in some games are tiny for me too, meh.
The stock video player still works of course, even for mkv files. Except no subtitles and it can't play hi10p.
Just found out I now prefer Vplayer to MX Player.
Ive always looked no further than MX cause I thought it was the best, now that Vplayer has had an update for 4.3 I tried it and like it very much. Very similar to MX but much more appealing.
