If someone on this forum has successfully compiled Mplayer or VLC for Android please share information on this forum.:thanks:

Or MPC-HC if possible, I need something that can play mkv files with subtitles. Everything that I've tried plays the audio and video perfectly, but no subtitles.

Well, MPlayer should compile for Android out-of-the-box, and while it does _something_ when running it from the emulator it's not really usable (I think it has no sound, it renders directly to frame buffer and thus is incredibly slow and interferes with the UI, and of course you can only start it from a terminal).
The problem is really the whole Android UI part which you can't (properly) do from C and MPlayer and other players are purely written in C.

There are ffmpeg builds for android and most (good) players on the android market are built ontop of ffmpeg.

No idea if any of these players support subs.

Can you give some links to those ffmpeg android builds?

I had found some Mplayer but they outdated....

If you're up to writing an android media player, I may be interested in joining on the GUI design side.
