HAHAHA "The problem is that the XBMC devs are too slack to implement hardware video decoding".
No, the thing is, XBMC is GPL software license and we can't just include any old code dump without making sure the license is compatible with GPLv2. All those private source media players don't have to live under GPL, we do.

It would help to include an option to use an external player on android. Through advancedsettings for example.

Those that have done this seem to have forgotten about the 'push it upstream' part
Now, that is my second LOL for today
2013 appears to be a funny year!

I don't understand making comparisons between XBMC and simple videoplayers. In my opinion a lot of people don't know the possibilities of using XBMC and they probably just use it as a mediaplayer. They fail to see it's a full media center experience. Okay... playback itself is important. If you only need playback then you probably do not need XBMC at all, then use mplayer or vlc
I really like the scraping of media folders into libraries, it's great. Simple subtitle search, it has numerous features that MX player will never have. And if Mxplayer would grow and grow, then it will most likely be
1. not free to use all those features
2. Android only?
3. Closed source
Who's that guy anyway? An employee of Allwinner?
