Question regarding Video Player App

[rodrigoawk]

Hi guys,

New Android user on the block struggling with this:

Need a Video Player App that:
1- Streams from major cloud providers (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.),
AND
2- Has Playback Speed controller

- VLC for iPhone does the thing, however for Android VLC lacks the streaming from cloud;

- GOM Player streams from cloud, however they claim to have Playback Speed control on their page but I could not find anywhere in the app - already contacted them but no answer back...

My device and Android version: Galaxy S8 / Android Nougat

Appreciate any help!

In VLC, it has a streaming ability for any URL you type in.
I would assume that it will work with any "drive" service using a "shared" URL.

Try MX Player Pro

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro

I use it with Solid Explorer to link into Dropbox, etc.

Omg - this is not an option at all!

PERFECT ANSWER!!!

Just installed Solid Explorer File Manager and it kind of "mount" cloud accounts, like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Then I can navigate to the folder I store the videos AND when select one to play, it is possible to choose any player installed - in my case, I'd prefer VLC.

Now playing the video from anywhere I want, VLC has the option to change the playback speed!

The best part: all for FREE!
--- Anyway, I decided to buy full version of Solid Explorer in order to "motivate" the developer.


The detailed explanation here is to help anyone else who may be in the same situation! I moved recently from iOS and this was really disappointing me before your tip!

I have team folder google account, and shared to my private google account
I want to stream movies (shared team drive folder) from my private google account

Can I add source from this shared folder to MX player pro so I can stream all the movies on that team drive shared folder ?

or

Can I add 2 sources (2 google drive account) to MX player ?

Does this app has feature to fetch metadata / movie poster / subtitle feature ?

I tried to find apps with these feature but cannot find any .. if any recommendation will be much appreciated (except kodi, i dislike kodi)

thank you
