RockPlayer - Finally a player that really plays DIVX on Android?

---

This blog reports that there is a new player floating around that can play DIVX and XVID on our devices, and it does it very well.

It is not clear who created it but i could not find it on the market.

It is under hard development and will be published soon. There is a small group beta testing, and a group for user experience sharing at groups.google.com.hk/group/rockplayer

Mod. edit: As stated this is a beta, the developer didn't consent it's distribution. Pls wait for the official release. Don't distribute it.

sry to bring up resurrect this thread, but... when they were announcing Galaxy S on CTIA, that phone's video player looks EXACTLY same as RockPlayer. Conclusion: RockPlayer is a video player ripped from Galaxy S? if that's true... the app is nothing but a video player port and it's not exactly "warez" as we labeled it.

not quite the same but close i guess. and how do you know they didn't steal it from him?

App works perfect.

lol, that we will never know... tho looking that the player is fully functional there and it's still in beta here, i'm leaning toward the samsung gang being the originals

No. RockPlayer have no relation with samsung's built-in player. It just imitated icons and this looks like a bad decision. So the next public beta will change them.

No need to change it, unless you're worrying about samsung going after you. I like that skin, clean and simple, looks nice tho I still have to see a need for that right-most icon by the controls. Previously it toggled onscreen debug info, but now its just taking up space.
