Give a list of supported external players.
In one of my subscriptions there is an occasional video podcast. The internal player says that it doesn't support the format (its an mp4). I have several other apps that can play videos on my phone but I can only choose 1 other one, which happens to be quickpic. I know the video works because I can copy it to my compute and play it just fine. Is there a list somewhere that says what's compatable with pa?
When you press the menu entry to play an episode using a 3rd party player, Android will automatically display the list of apps installed supporting this file extension. It doesn’t means necessarily that they will be able to play the file, but they can play file with the same extension.
You can try MX Player or VLC which aren’t using the device built-in mediaplayer service so they support more encoding.
