MoboPlayer

I installed it and I think I'll keep it, even though I think the Samsung player still feels like a better player--but they seem very similar in several ways too. I did notice one exceedingly useful feature--it can play video streams over RTSP and HTTP... which means it works GREAT in combination with File Expert's ability to create a local "live stream" of SMB share video files. (i.e. I can browse a SMB/CIFS share, tap on a video and play it with MoboPlayer... seemlessly.) EXCELLENT stuff! I played videos this way today off my main server and it worked beautifully and without stutter. Best of all--you don't actually need to be rooted to do any of this--so ANYONE can use these two programs together to watch videos off their shares.
Woah! That sounds seriously excellent, and pretty much what I've been looking for.

What about the format support?
