Not sure if MX Player works but that is what I often use. The device just plays all videos I have asked it to though you access them through the gallery app.

I'm also using MX Player and I could always watch the videos I wanted but I don't watch videos too often.

I'm testing VLC Player now, I always used it on my desktop and wanted to try it on my phone.
Didn't had a chance to use it much so I still don't have a full opinion about it.

MoboPlayer for x86
Same here. I had been a fan of MoboPlayer a a long time ago, but more recently, I had switched to MX Player. Howewer, I just got my Razr i, upgraded it to JB, installed MX Player and the x86 plugin (as requested by the application), but when I tried to use it, it fails straightaway on opening with the following error message:

Unsupported device or component files are corrupted.
So I tried a few other players, most of them horrible and/or slow and/or bad picture quality, when I realised there is a special version of Moboplayer for x86. It works beautifully, fast, low cpu usage and great picture quality. You can get it there:

So Mxplayer is a good choice?

Does anyone run Razr i with unlocked bootloader? Is it true that the phone looses video playback when unlocking the bootloader?

Is there any video player that supports streaming over Samba?

On iPad I use xbmc but it is not compatible with x86 processor.

I have watched movies over WiFi with MX player. Windows 7 host. Haven't yet watched over off my main Arch Linux host but have not setup samba shares.

same here, watching 720p or even 1080p mkv video with mx player from samba share through wifi without any probems (GB ICS rom). decoding of 1080p is smooth only with hw+ setting, but 720p can be played with sw setting as well.
