poor dice not even mention while video player discussion

ya, this is one disappointing thing about the stock player. some files dun play well... so end up, can't use that pop-up video function. else... can 'action' a bit in front of the others... hahaha...

yeap, only tried with TP files, wait when i got my SD card, going to throw all my TP TS korean MV into my phone.
Then will try if stock player do support some other file type..

Anyone know any video player capable of pop-up video function?

errr... i did mention... 1-2 pages back. it's one of the first 3rd party video players with the pop up video function.

but i try to keep these apps to only 1-2. so, ended up using MX Player.

i still remember at one stage, Dice dev suddenly got account blocked by Google.

but one thing i dun quite like about Dice is the 'file manager'. dem confusing and could not really get used to it. not sure if its still like that.

Fact is
1. He base his facts on stock video player
2. At least he does his own testing, reading, research and is just informing his findings. He is not looking for answers.
3. There are a lot more irritating people in this forum

So everyone just chill out and move on.

see my reply above. i think someone also mentioned 2 other players just 1-2 pages back.

Just did a quick google and found some...
Gonna test Dice and some others and see how these apps will perform.

Sorry, didn't noticed your post about dice

please share your test results... and if can... also try those 10GB MKV files... heh heh...

10GB MKV will have to find...
not sure how many big size MKV files that i am still keeping...

Tried Dice to play video via popup play, first impression, not bad..

But due to screen limitation, the video is quite small...lol...
Overall is nice, the video quality is ok, no interlacing when testing the TP file i have.

If got time will try to do some testing with other video and share the result here.....

if i remember correctly.. i think you can resize the DICE video player window... right? make it bigger/ smaller... i could be wrong... but i think you can.

or you mean screen = note 2 screen size?

yeah we can resize, but due to note2 screen size, even if i resize the popup video to max width, the video still abit small.

But i think i will have to accept that, coz if the video too big, how am i gonna multitasking/whatsapp at the same time i am watching the video? hahhaha

i think the biggest size is bigger than the stock pop-up video. again... could be wrong. <-- very much a guess work.

else, i believe you can just opt for full size video. DICE is also capable of that ma...

but again... i din wanna have too many apps on my phone that does the same thing. so i opted for MX Player instead. plus, the other thing i really could not get used to on DICE is the video browser... i recall it didn't really display the videos in the folders properly... more like it just displayed all the videos on my phone or something...

Ya, if i want to watch the girls clearly, i will play the video in full size....

Hmm, currently i have 2 apps, MX and Dice but will delete 1 of it after testing..

Since i am in front a PC or Laptop most of the time, the time that i use my phone to play a video will be very rare...
The only time i will use it is either when i am in a boring ride, or at a boring place...
And i don think i will want to watch a 1080p video for 2 hours on my phone, i don't want to miss so much details....

When u have Positron in the thread there are always arguments & contradictions. Its always the video thing. It like S2 thread all over again. Damn.

technically... we are already missing out some details when we watch 1080p movies on a 720 screen.

for me... no TV at home. no PC at home. dun abuse company laptop. so, only other choice is watch on note 2 lor... usually at night. about 30 mins before going to sleep.

actually... research says not good to watch bright screen (like mobile phone) and exciting movies before sleep. you can't actually sleep after that. but well... it din seem to apply to me though... lolz...

another format called TP? which quality is better Mkv or TP as in smaller size, same bitrate?

same with u...always watching video(running man)/playing games (temple run2) before sleep with note 2....it's must !

It could be due to the issue of licen$ing, since codecs need to be licen$ed. I recall some devs got cease & desist letters from Dolby to remove DTS and other licen$able stuff or they will sue.

Looks like Positron is obsessed with benchmarking and videos. It does provide some interesting information but since we are smartphone users, let's be smart about the information we get.

Anyway, the best way to deal with trolls or other irritants is to ignore them and not take the bait. I'm not saying that Positron is one, but from many of your posts, he does seem to have some quirks. We can read and move along as what att00 has pointed out.

ya, i suspect this could be the case... heh heh... aiyah... samsung can easily pay la...
