any update on a good media player app. MX, dice, BS, VLC - none very good and they cannot play everyting. I want a perfect all in one?
I use Dice for its ability to access a file share over the wifi and it mostly works. Not all videos can be played by the N7 even at 720p, it has a limit on the bit rate and it often struggles with flowing water and lots of moving hair (think shampoo add with flinging hair!). That is just the performance limitations of the platform as it happens in the default video decoder program as well.
I view the differences as mostly the additional features on either how to get the videos or how you control brightness and volume. Dice is good for access but its not so good for brightness and volume control as some of the others. The samba access is the essential killer feature of Dice player.
ES File explorer is also good because it can look at files over wifi on a file share as well. Good for PDF file access and such.
Beyond that I don't use much else other than games (Did you know you can get UPLINK on android? It translates surprisingly well to a tablet!).
For anandtech forum posting I use tapatalk (not the HD version, the HD version is rubbish).
