1.2.200

The current version of MoboPlayer needs to run on Android 1.6 or later. Support almost all Android devices with ARM architecture. Click the Download button below or search 'moboplayer' from Android Market to complete the installation.

In order to make better use of the CPU capacity, we have optimized and built different video codec packages for different hardware platform. And Moboplayer will download and install codec package automatically. If your device couldn't connect the Internet, you can download and install the codec package from the right side link. For most of the Android devices you can run Moboplayer perfectly without install codec package.

  • ARMV7, ARMV6 VFP and ARMV6, what are the differences?

  • In order to better enhance the playback and performance, we have compiled for different CPU with different versions. For ARM V7 version we optimized and compiled by making use of the ARMV7 CPU architecture, by fully enabling the NEON instruction set, it provide the best performance. Some devices do not support ARM V7 or NEON, so the V7 version will not work correctly. Currently, higher-end Android phones on the market are based on ARM V7 framework. So if you have a phone like above we recommend you that you select the ARM V7 version.


  • Will i need to convert my video files from PC?

  • There is totally no need to convert the video on PC. Mobo uses the FFmpeg decoder, so in theory it can play almost any video format that ie. VLC Player can decode. The only limits are the device's performance, video resolution and bit rate. When the device's processing power is too low or video resolution is too large, images and sounds may be not synchronized. The conventional device (armv7 1G Hz) can play the video with a width of 1024 pixels smoothly in our tests.


  • Why will some videos when opened cause the player to say: "Play Failed"?

  • There are different conditions that can cause this problem. An error may have occurred in the process of copying the video to a memory card, causing damage of the video file. It is also possible that Mobo tries to open a file which the system can identify, but it can't play when Mobo uses the system's built in hardware decoding. You can try, in the file list, to long press the specific file, and then in the pop-up context menu, select the soft decode and try playing it again. If problems stil occur, we kindly ask you to provide the failing file to us by the Feedback, we value your feedback very much.


  • Why do some videos have subtitles when played on a PC, but not on Mobo?

  • The current Mobo version will not support mkv, mov container format which have built-in subtitle streams, but we will complete this feature as soon as possible. For external .srt and .ass subtitles, if it can't display, try to make the subtitle into UTF-8 format, if still doesn't work, we hope you to send it through Feedback, thank you very much.
