This was one of the best player I have ever used. After recent update, the video file cant execute. When tapped it goes into queue folder and can only be played from there. Hope you can debug this. Another feature I would like to recommend is a "set as thumbnail" button during media play for easily recognising videos when viewed in grid. Thank you for creating a good video player with all fantastic features that I need.
Latest update is a disaster. Such a shame. This was the best android video player. So easy to configure for network streaming. Now I can't even scroll through a file list without it crashing. There are crippling bugs everywhere. It's so bad the developer has a link to a legacy version which is the version to use.
Great app! I install pro version on all my phones because it's the only one I tried that supports YouTube streaming (let's me play YouTube with screen off) I found one bug: When you play YouTube with a screen off and take out your headphones accidentally, the app will freeze when you turn the phone back on. Sound goes on for a minute, but the app is practically frozen. Needs force stop. This has been like this for a while so I thought I'd let you know. Very great job otherwise!
Still best player feature wise for me but two major issues include a problem since Android 8 where it'll often hang up when you start a video and you have to force close it and try again. Reproduced on three devices, old phone on Android 7 is ok. Second issue is I can't get it to support x265 at all. Audio only black screen. -editing back to 5 stars as since the Android Pie update, it supports x265 and the issue with hang ups and force restarts is gone. performance even improved somehow!
Love the legacy version of this app, but the new app got few of issues that makes it worst than the old one: Sometimes subtitles just stop showing. Downloaded subtitles almost never work. It doesn't remember my folder sorting preferences, I always need to reselect sorting by time. I liked the time & battery status text shown on the old version when tapping the screen, don't know why they removed it.
December update completely broke the app for me. It did work just long enough for me to notice that the variable playback speed feature has been removed. Now, after getting a file/folder list from my LAN, the app quits, and refuses to play anything. Forced to use VLC as a poor substitute...help!
Recent cluttered interface update messed up the whole experience. Now I have a whole pile of 788 local videos that I cannot sort by folder anymore. I originally paid almost $6 a few years ago, and now its useless unless you like to have a full unorganized mess this is the app for you. Will not recommend this app anymore. Maybe will have to look for an alternative and keep this app as a negative... Or maybe go to google and search for ulocked BSPlayer apk from an early version and disable updates
I've been using bsplayer since 2006. No complaints until now. Worked great until the last update for Android.Either the newest version of Android or bsplayer. not sure, except now it locks up, freezes, black screens out, stalls & have to reboot the android anytime it blacks out/stalls. Cleared my android & bsplayer cache & seems to work but then does it again. No problem until now, it's horrible! I have to reboot my device constantly! Please fix this or keep last version, what a shame really 😞
Latest version is totally broken, cannot even play files one by one, stuttering in videos, awful new interface, completely unintuitive, app works much slower, audio channel switcing is broken too, and I lost all my configured settings from previous version. I will switch back to previous version.
Can't play any files. Click on the menu and choose File Browser. Clicking on a video doesn't do anything. I don't understand why this app is completely broken when BS Player switched to this new version. It makes no sense. I would not recommend this new version of this app. I'm only using the Legacy version.
If you're going to suddenly, completely and totally change the interface, to something that can not be used on a media streamer, then I'd like my money back, please. I didn't pay so I could be a guineapig in your beta test. I paid you money because you *HAD* a product that worked. But now, after an automatic update, I find my software has morphed into something totally useless to me. Either give me access to an earlier version, or cough up a refund, please.
Best video player on Android. It basically plays anything I throw at it, with ease. The interface is spot on for make adjustments and the quickly fades away afterwards (configurable). Auto downloading of subtitles makes life so much easier and speeding up playback allows one to quickly fill up on media. I've bee a user for several years and have tried other players, but none is as smooth as this one.
LAN streaming does not work on my pixel 3. Looking at other reviews it doesn't seem to be working for Android Pie. I've been using this app for a few years, I was very much satisfied, but since I'm only using it for LAN stuff, it's now just a waste of money for me. Please fix.
Great app but has problems. First the app crashes if you play movie for some time and you want to close it and then come back back again. You need to force stop the app and reopen. Second the app cannot download subtitles with data on (4g) but with wifi works great why is that?
Changing the sort order can reset the saved playback position. Like when using sort by percent played. Pressing the floating play button can reset the saved playback position. Audio might play desynced/slower than the video by a few frames/milliseconds
One of the very few apps I've taken the time to review as it's that good. Allows me to be in complete control, relatively speaking, of what and how I consume my media. +1 in that the app is kept updated still and I've been using this app for a while.
I had no issues for over a week, later I`e encountered multiple issues going on this app. It`ll automatically takes you to homepage, closes application in mid of playing music/file.. Please please please. NEVER INSTALL THIS APPLICATION, NOT EVEN PROVIDING REFUND..
This app used to be great, sadly this is not the case any longer. I don't have time to install different codec packs, so that I can play a simple .mkv file. Uninstalled & installed the free VLC Player, that app plays EVERYTHING and it doesn't cost anything (but I intend to donate)!
Prior to the last update I always recommended this program (even purchased the pro version). Now the interface is buggy, it keeps crashing and its making me irritated...
Was an outstanding video player before the latest update which crashes it almost every time. Gone back to using the stock video player until a new update fixes the crashes, rendering this app useless.
Dec'19 updates complete disaster. inoperable interface, lack of easy hw/sw decoding switch. in file list mediaplayer remote control unusable - even up/down buttons do not work! pls fix or give access to Nov'19 variant...
Terrible update. App does not recognize changed via PC folders content. Still shows unexisted folder and does not see new ones. It doesn't even see added files.
very unreliable these days. constant freezing and black screens. never had these problems for years until the last 6 or so months
Sadly if you move content be player even if you re scan says error when trying to play, even transfer to new SD card be player says error even though for is the same. Constantly having to uninstall and re install to fix. Please address this issue
Best player there is for watching over LAN. Lots of convenient features. Had a request, sent an email to support and they implemented it. Definitely recommended!
i used to love this app , but the recent updates destroyed it , i.e. out of no where frequent lag of voice , you get the online subtitles but suddenly it disappear ..... increase the volume and you will suffer from the noise....what the hell happended ?
Love this player. Easy to personalize. Slow motion and speed customizer. Very few complaints. Haven't found anything better.
"Error Opening File" is all this app can do now. Any other player can play my videos, but BS pro is incapable without giving that error message and closing itself down. App bugged, needs attention.
Works great on my tablet. Got it for video playlist support, which it does, but with caveats. If you delete a video from one list, it removes them from all playlists. Also, you cannot add from one playlist to another, except from the default playlist (like all files). If these were improved, would be perfect for me. Playing children's video songs for class.
