Default [Q] Best Media Player

What do people use to play movie files?

I use moboplayer and the default video player. I like how the default clears the screen whereas moboplayer leaves the back/home/recent apps and menue button.

is there any way to remove these whilst playing video files?

I came across mx video player after reading another topic on xda and i love it. It plays just about anything i throw at it and uses H/W accelleration and has a screen swipe for fast forward and rewind and options on screen setup and layout. Best of all its free !

Unfortunately, I there is no one player solution for HC yet. Dice player and MX Player are among the good ones but neither play "everything".

I've been looking for the same thing. I want the menu bar to clear. Dice player does it, but I've had better file playback with moboplayer. Dice player's UI isn't as nice as others but they do update frequently. I'm staying with mobo for now, maybe if some people bug them about clearing the screen on tablets, they will add it.

to save your battery, use diceplayer.
SW decoder based player like mobo/mx/vplayer need more battery than diceplayer.
SW video decoder need more CPU power & battery.

have a Question, have Tried standard Android player, MX player, Rock Player and Dice player. there is never no sound with my 720P MKV's (even though there should be) and i have a 720P MP4 that is Jerky as F***.

Also, with MX player and Diceplayer, whenever using HW rendering the video is fine but has no Sound, When SW Rendering is used its jerky With sound.. Lame !

Could you post your MP4 file's MediaInfo?
(Container / Codec info )
