Hard Game

MX Player is definitely one of most popular and best Android Video Player available in Google Play. MX Player has many advantages like friendly UI, gesture options, HW/SW decoder switching etc.

MX Player started getting the "Unsupported android version" error from Android 4.4 which was fixed later. But the same error still shows in Android 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 respectively. Many users complained in the MX Player Google Play page but still the devs havent fixed it yet.

My Searching on MX Player alternate ended on BS Player and VLC. Both the players are available for free and rich in video format support, performance, etc.

Update
MX Player updated with Android 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 support - Download
