Hello, everyone!
Please note that I did a search on here, Google, and several other Android/Evo sites to no avail (I've even gotten in trouble for "not searching first" on other Android sites -- go figure). If you can find a topic that already goes over this exact topic, if possible, please delete this topic and let me know via PM. I don't want to clog up the forum with redundant posts. Thanks! I'm currently continuing to search through sites like AppBrain while waiting for a response here.
HTC Evo 4G, 2.2 OTA unrooted.
So the default "Streaming Media Player" app put on by HTC is kind of annoying me. It doesn't save your last position on the video, so if you have to stop watching a movie for the moment, or you get a text and want to read it, you're gonna have to reload the whole movie through the site (it doesn't appear in Recent Apps) and skip to that point.
Another problem I have with it is that when you click the "stretch" button, it keeps the aspect ratio. When watching things with subtitles like anime, this is really annoying as the subtitles get taken out of the picture.
Anyone have any suggestions for an alternative, possibly one that remembers positions or at the very least supports multitasking? I'm just streaming videos from Veoh.
Programs tried:
arcMedia (no streaming media option)
RockPlayer (does the same thing as Streaming Media Player, with a bit of audio lag to boot on video streams)
Flikie Media Player (it will stretch and break aspect ratio, which is good, but it doesn't save position/remember video)
Stream Media Player (this is the best so far, can stretch and break aspect ratio. Remembers last video played in History and even shows the notification bar, meaning I can read texts; however, if I click out of the program and go back it freezes and has to be restarted.)
This is what I am referring to:

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not looking to set up video streaming, but rather use an alternative program from the default player to possibly fix the issues above. If there isn't anything like this available, that's fine, but I thought I'd check and see. Thanks!
