Best Video Player App?

[technodos]

I would like to know if anyone knows a video playing app that can seamlessly loop 3 videos (after the third video ends, go back to the first video) for a project I'm doing. If anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Would it be easier to concatenate the videos into a single one, and run that on loop? I'm not sure how hard that is, but it seems like you would more easily find an app to loop a singe video than multiple.

MX Player can loop multiple videos, there are options for 'Loop one' and 'Loop all'. The VLC app can loop a video but I can't find any way to loop multiple vids, even to loop a single video it's not in the Settings menu but you need to have the video itself running and then tap the Menu button to get access to a loop icon.

Initially I thought about concatenate too, but if those three videos the OP wants to play are not all similar file container types and made up of the same resolution and same video and audio codecs, there probably will be a problem when playing the combined video file. In other words, if those three videos are, for example only, all mp4 files that are 1280 x 720 using h.264 video and AAC audio then concatenate should work. But if they're a mix of different file types and resolutions encoded with different protocols then the initial metadata the media player will read won't apply for the entire file. it'll probably fail as the original codec libraries it loaded up only apply to the beginning part of the combined video. I've found even using the 'cat' command to concatenate multiple files often results in a working file but some media players still do odd things like show incorrect viewing times, again the metadata gets morphed in a cat combined file. SoX is a really good alternative to cat, it might do a better job combining files as it attempts to correct the metadata taken from each separate file.

But cat and sox are command line utilities and a lot of people just have no interest in CLI. And most importantly neither cat nor sox will tackle issues like combining videos of different resolutions. My favored graphical editor for a computer is AVIdemux. It's Open Source, free, and available for multiple operating systems. In this instance you'd open all three videos, convert two of them to match the third, combine them (avidemux uses 'append'), and then save the resulting work into a single file.

Of course perhaps those three videos are all similar so just ignore this post, apologies for diverting off topic.

MXplayer also handles formats others can't. I liked it so much I went Pro to give the developer some love and money.

Put the three videos in their own folder, point VLC to it, and use VLC's loop option...

Simple...

Agreed,VLC Player will work:

The MX Player and VLC media Player for Android will work flawlessly. Check both of them.

Where are the options to loop multiple videos in MX player? If I longpress play it just repeats the video, it does not bring up an options menu. Thanks anyway though! I super duper appreciate it.

Basically tap on the 3 dots twice to get options shown in pic.
