Best Movie Player App? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Just wanting to know which movie player apps everyone is using on their Note 8. I have several movies on my phone and I usually use MX Player Pro or VLC player to play them but some of the movies I have, the audio does not play or sounds real low and squeaky. Maybe I'm missing audio codecs or something?

try Black Player EX ...

I've always used BS Player. Excellent for network drives and also you can offset the audio track, which is very useful for out of sync audio, which can sometimes happen with a Bluetooth headset or a bad rip

I didn't play too many movies but I don't remember even one that VLC wasn't able to play yet, so it's my player of choice. I know Samsung doesn't have AC3 sound codec included, so any player relying on internal codecs won't work with AC3, but VLC does. If you load the movie onto computer, you can find out what codecs it uses and maybe you can install those as separate package, but as I said IMO VLC is probably the best.

VLC is all you need. I use it on both my phone and computer. It plays everything you throw at it.

MX player. Recently VLC Player is good

When you hit the screen, while a video is playing, under the BS logo there is an arrow pointing to the right. Expand that and full screen is the last option

MX Player Dev is from XDA and so

I have been using the stock video player app provided by Samsung and everything seems fine so far. However I have MoboPlayer as a back up to play avi files

Playing recorded videos on desktop...sound missing...

I have recorded a bunch of videos on the Tilt and have them transferred to the desktop. The video and sound works fine in quicktime player, but sound is missing with any other players like VLC and media player classic. I hate quicktime, so is there a way to get sound on VLC and/or media player classic?

Download KM Player...
I will play everything.
[size=+1]KM Player[/size]
Thanks, KMPlayer was able to play the vids with sound. Although, I don't like too many apps installed on my comp, so does anyone know how to get sound in VLC or Media Player Classic?
Could be wrong, but I think the MP4 vids produced by the TyTnII use an AMR codec for audio? If so, it might be worth giving http://www.afreecodec.com/win/946/open-amr-codec-narrowband/download/ a spin?

The best player

Which is the best player to watch movies with lots of codecs?
unfortunately we are out of luck...
i have yet to find a player that will play divx .avi files right off the bat.
the work around (that probably works 100% of the time) is converting your video to another format...
never tried it though.
So maybe u can recommend player which u use?
There's an app called xyflash or something similar which will play DivX files but not particularly well yet, still needs optimization.
I'd strongly recommend converting on your PC using DoubleTwist or Handbrake and use the inbuilt video player or Meridian which is an mp3 player which also plays videos but keep in mind that almost every video player available on android at the moment just sits ontop of the inbuilt video player.

[Q] Best Media Player for X1???

Anybody knows about a Media player which can be used as an alternative to the Windows Media player for PPC...
I have tried the TCPMP and Core Player...but both of them are having lags while playing videos...
Well, i think it's time to confirm that the built-in Windows Media Player is still the best Media Player for X1...
Well for music, PocketMusic is the best. Has a lot of options and customizability, and tons of equalizer effects to choose from and doesn't lag at all.
For video, Core Player is probably the best, however it doesn't lag for me at all so it depends on what version you're using. I'm using the latest btw.
Or, you can give SmartMovie player a try. Other than that, TCPMP is the other option which you've already tried.......so ya there aren't much you can choose from for Windows Mobile unfortunately.
Oh and if you want to play .avi videos then try Divx Mobile player too. But that sucks.

you can convert the vidio first to mp4 or to 3gp first with xilisoft or Super converter video... in desktop computer...
yes, but I would also like to do direct streaming from my dreambox to my Xperia, in this case the player should be already installed on the phone...

[Q] Best video player for Anime?

Hi all,
Just wondering what video player apps (free/paid) that's best for playing ANIME with Subtitle? (similar to PC's Media Player Classic thingy?able to choose audio and subtitle?)
Not sure anyone has hobby like mine, but I do carry some anime with me on my SD Card to watch on the go on my previous PDA (HTC KAISER) and it plays perfectly. (althou some doesn't have subtitle)
Anyone have similar situation and some advise to this android newbie?
17/02/2012 updates: (tested anime with .mkv files)
***Tried MoboPlayer 1.2.200 - great at playing the videos, but no subtitle
***Tried Mobo Video Player Pro v1.0.6 - laggy when playing anime, no subtitle
Regards,

Try either Dice or mVideo player, both work well with anime.
MX Video Player ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad and its codec pack at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_neon ) has worked just peachy for me. It does have support for multiple streams et. al., and it's also plenty fast, too.

MX Player all the way! ever since i discovered it it's been my only video player! love it
VLC is in my humble opinion the better choice.

MX Player is the best ! I watch only anime & it has never let me down even once. The new HW+ decoder works wonders :thumbup:
Why don't you try my anime player and downloader? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43351881#post43351881)
It won't let you down
BS Player
BS Player
It's free and has all the codecs you'll ever need built in.
MX Player was my player of choice until they had problems securing MKV codec and others.
If you want something that plays practically all file types, is free and lightweight, then BS Player is the one.
Find it on the Play Store.
(I can't add the link, it is against XDA rules, sorry.)
Im using ARCHOS video Player on my GNOTE

How do you organize pdfs? Pdfs are the bane of the organized people. You need to put them in a site, or a subfolder, with all the files similar, yet you also can't have duplicated pdfs.

There are tons of players. One that I use and it's free is MX Player in the Playstore. MP4 should play on most any player. Are you sure you converted with audio?
