Yxplayer

Read about this today from an article on AppAdvice and I have to say I was extremely skeptical to the claims of this app's capabilities. For someone like me though, who has acquired many different video files that are not supposed to be natively supported on the ipad, this program could be the beginning of something great. It's FAR from perfect, but to me, if they just get the frame rate up a bit and add better organization, this could be the "go to" player for anyone to use. It really can play any codec that is not normally supported by the iPad which is astonishing. I didn't even try the streaming features yet, but I just want it so I don't have to constantly convert my videos to Apples format. Please update soon with faster playback so an .avi file can truly shine. Keep up the great work!

I was apprehensive about buying this app based on all the reviews. I decided to bite the bullet after I saw the new update. I'm pleasantly surprised. Most of my divx video are encoded with the "home theatre" profile and this app does a decent job viewing it. There's an occasional stutter or lag but it's watchable. Considering the ipad has no support for any of these formats, i'm happy that I can watch my video collection without re-encoding. Thanks to the developer for creating this and hope future updates keep coming.

I purchased this app because I was interested in playing some FLV (flash Movies) that I had pulled off the internet. The videos Graphics plays relatively well and reasonably smooth, although definitely an a lower frame rate than I get when using my Mac. The sticking point for me is the sound. Its a stuttering and choppy mess. I end up watching the videos muted. I would expect this with videos of high graphics and sound quality, but was surprised when it happened with these. The video files that I am using were of a medium graphics quality. If there were a way to return it for a refund, I definitely would do so.

Also took a chance and got this app. AVI(xvid) files play ok but there is slight delay in the frame rate and sound sync, but is totally watchable. FLV files player better, have not tried other formats yet. To be fair it's the first one of it's kind on the app store and I'm surprised that this app even approved. I hope the developers read this and provide an update soon. Also hope they can put password protection for files and folders.

People who are writing bad reviews show me something that works better! I use the player to play mp4 vids I download from a training site and watch em on my way to work. This app makes the iPad so much more complete! It works absolutely flawlessly. No performance issue, easy dragging files into the players library, easy removing. Simply perfect.
