Android Video PLayers

This document is a resume of the players best players / projects / code found found all over the internet for Smooth Video Playback on Android.

ITEC-MediaPlayer

The ITEC MediaPlayer library is a video player library for Android supporting exact seeking to frames, playback speed adjustment, shader support, zooming & panning, frame extraction and a lot of media source protocols and formats, including DASH. It strives to be an API-compatible direct replacement for the Android MediaPlayer and VideoView components and builds upon the Android MediaExtractor and MediaCodec API components. It is very lightweight, easy to use, makes native code / NDK fiddling unnecessary, and works from Android 4.1 up.
