Where MX Player also shines is in its widest support for subtitles, such as DVD, DVB, SSA/ASS subtitle tracks, SubStation Alpha(.ssa/.ass) with full styling, SAMI(.smi) with Ruby tag support, SubRip(.srt), MicroDVD(.sub), TMPlayer(.txt), and many others. (This feature alone is enough to make the default Chrome OS video player pale into insignificance, not to mention other highlights of this app.) Apart from this, there are plenty of reasons to go for MX Player over other options, namely the fact that it integrates well with Chrome OS.

It has a way better compatibility with various video types like MP4, MKV, 3GP, AVI, FLV, RMVB, WMV, etc. And it continues to maintain that image in Chrome OS by offering its dazzling features to every user.

VLC for Chrome OS, however, hasn’t been tested on the Asus Chromebit, hence it is not clear whether it would work on it or not.As the port of VLC media player to the Chrome-Android integration, this version of VLC shares all the features of that renowned desktop VLC media player - a free and open-source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most video and audio files, DVD ISOs, and network streaming protocols.

Therefore the ARC solution was a blessing, and helped us to recycle 95 percent of the Android code and optimizations we did in the last months (some are not released yet),” he added. “That work would have taken months of work. “For ChromeOS, the only solution we saw, before ARC was announced, was using PPAPI, NaCL and Javascript, but that would require to rewrite a complete interface in Javascript and would be a bit problematic for the database,” Kempf wrote in a blog post. Last year, Google also enabled offline media playback for Chromebook notebooks.

But Google’s decision to support Android Runtime for Chrome earlier this year, enabled porting Android apps to Chrome OS. JB Kempf, one of the developers of VLC, noted that it wasn’t an easy task to create VLC, which is mostly built on C and C++, for Chrome OS as the platform requires writing in JavaScript and other Web technologies. The player also supports subtitles with auto-detection, and offers playback of streams, local and on the Internet.

Much like its client on other platforms, VLC for Chrome OS supports a large pool of video and audio files including in MKV and DVD ISOs, FLAC and other formats. You can download the app from the Chrome Web Store. VideoLAN, the open source project behind it, noted that the free application is a ported version of its Android counterpart.
