Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CineDock at 5.0 against Video Player's 3.7. CineDock also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Video Player's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
