Hi all, Is there a Video player app for Windows phone available? I am talking about an app like like VLC or AVPlayer for iPhone that play almost any video you throw at them without the need for conversion. I use AVPlayer on my iPhone a lot and it also displays subtitles which is also a must since i watch a lot of foreign movies and tv shows. I am actually quite happy with my 4s but seeing how Lumia 920 has a 4.5 inch screen and other decent features, it will be my next phone considering it has the app i'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Wow, 60+ views and not a single reply. There really isn't an app for windows phone that plays videos i guess.

Hi! You're correct with your assumption, applications to play videos outside the codec scope of Windows Phone are not available. You can use applications to transcode to current devices, like TVersity, and Plex. However you're looking into a WP8 device which can run "native" code. This should allow for the type of applications you seek.

Not so fast. I replyed to another thread and during my research I found this VLC Player for Windows 8 reaches £40,000 Kickstarter goal | Windows Phone Daily VLC went on a KickStarter and exceeded they're goal of $40,000. I would expect an app sometime in the next 6 months or sooner depending on how many speed bumps they hit

Can WP8 play AVIs, MP4s and MOVs?

I can play .avi and .mp4 if those contain codecs that Windows Phone natively supports.
That may not include ALL .avi and .mp4.
I don't know if it plays .mov (I don't have any to test).
