hi at all!! i'm looking for a video player but anyone seems work right in this device.
in particular i would play flv video... tcpmp doesn't work, neither flash lite, core player, youtubeplayer...
could someone help??
thx
Mmmm...
I don't know about a player, but I do know of a free converter which you can then play any video file via Windows Media Player. I normally convert to VGA even though this device is QVGA, they play great!
Try this
coreplayer
Or free TCPMP (but not all version work fine on Rose).
I came from Winmo 6.5 and missed my dearly Coreplayer.
So found and installed Rock Player (which is called Demo Player after install?) but no matter what I do: no video whatsoever is played. I have .wmv files, .avi, .mp4: I tap the filename and rock player goes back to the dir view.
Anyone else know about this issue? Or did I miss something?
You should use Meridian. It's very nice but only plays mp4.
Xvid and wmv is not hardware supported but you can use xyflash to play them. It just lags. You will have to wait for coreplayer 2.0 for android.

No, he doesn't. Rockplayer Beta works wonderfully with divx, xvid, mkv and the likes.
same here i cant get rockplayer to work on my legend.
As far as I know Rock Player is an old project of getting vlc to work on android. Only problem is that is isn't designed to be running on the mobile platform. It works for some but I tried every apk I could find but never got it running on my Legend.
I myself am looking forward to CorePlayer. It is going to do all that is missing in videoplayback on android.
Thats just my 2 cents.
downloaded the latest rockplayer and its now working great

It's terribly sluggish on mine.
The latest beta for Rockplayer now supports the Legend, excellent! And the performance is superb with very little slowdown, if any.
doesn't work on my Hero (2.1) as well. It just keeps on going back to the file explorer window. Samsung Galaxy Spica has DivX support and it works like a charm.
Working great on my Evo.

WORKS!! Finally.. great player!
Yeah, the lastest version works really great. Btw, yxflash is screwed.
Keep getting Installation Failed on my 2.1 Hero (ezHero v5.0)
Works on my friends hero, same firmware, any suggestions?
NEVER MIND, think my original download was corrupt, after re-downloading and installing it worked.
GREAT APP!
Can anyone please reupload or send me a link to a working version of Rockplayer ? The link here is dead.
I have the Demoplayer version and it keeps crashing everytime I try to play a file (tried avi video, and mp3 music).
edit : I downloaded a version from the market, but it doesn't play my avi files (tried a random episode of BBT, 175MB) - it says it can't play in system mode and freezes in normal mode. This version can at least play audio, which couldn't be more useless to me.
@grandioso
Which Rom do you use? I think that if you use Azure rom, the rock player won't work. It has something to do with camera library, if they change it so that the player would work, then the camera doesn't work. So the devs decieded that most users prefers working camera. I must say it's a right decision, but maybe some one will find a solution to this problem.
It's possible to play video on this device? How can I convert my video files to files which x8 understand?
It can take mp4 for sure : I have 2 videos in "/sdcard/video/"
You can try RockPlayer - Plays all divx videos so no need for convert the files at all the player is really great app and you can get it for free from the android market. I watch two movies both more then 2 hours long for a 50% battery so the player is great.
It looks like slideshow with software decoding, it's not works with hardware decoding.
It not play all avi formats well but works great for some if you have time to find out what format works on that phone but i Watch for example Fight Club on this and was nice and smooth also watch some Shows on it and it works great for that it`s very useful when you are at the bus or at the train and have time to kill.
When connected to the computer, download MediaGo from PC companion. It converts audio and video to x8 format, as well as adding it to the device.

yup. just use the media go from SE. it automatic convert the media file to match the hardware decoding. its an extra work but worth doing. to save some memory.
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Cannot setup Media Go on my windows 7 x64 corporate. Fail while installing MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable package.
I use Avidemux GTK app on Ubuntu. Just use "auto->PSP" settings. it makes files that x8 decodes in hardware.
My favourite video playing app is arcMedia.
It is capable to handle largest video files thanks for video buffering.
But It is not working since I rooted my 2.1 with original rom.
Anybody knows why?
The problem is app2sd. arcMedia doesn't support app2sd yet.
I really wait for the update because you don't have to convert video files with it.
arcMedia plays normal xvid videos smoothly like desktop computers.
My pre-isntalled video player can't find any files, even those which i've recorded with camera. What's the problem?
What's the point of installing video player which can't find video files? for example if some1 buys x8 and don't want to use any of apps from the market, only pre-installed ones. so he can't watch any recorded videos? only getting there through camera app? it's the same with picture review.
Rockplayer v6 vfp version can play video rmvb well, of course, not as well as computer
It all depends on the encoding and the resolution of the files people.
Dont expect to be able to play a full hd avi or mp4 with a 600hz CPU!
Maybe the PSP compatible avi files you can d/l with utorrent work better.
N.
yeah,i would recommend you to convert the videos with Xmedia.(It Supports X8)
Its works everytime on my X8
I use yxplayer2, RockPlayer gives me a lot of erros playing the videos.
I can also say that vital player from market plays divx/xvid with no lag at all, for me it really is the best app of this kind.
to convert videos, try XMedia Recode or Format Factory
I use ImToo Video Ultimate Converter..
choose convert to android specification

there are lots of software players that play almost everything including mov and mpeg
Hi, Ive used RockPlayer quite extensivley and it played nice (even with subtitles) up untill last week when all of a sudden the video lagged awfully. I tried all the other players (yx, qq, arc...) and each and every one of them lags.
Now, Ive updated to the latest x8 software (from the first 2.1 release) and hoped it would help, but playback is the same.
Tried to enable JiT now, but that didnt help.
Any ideas why would something like this happen seemingly out of the blue?
EDIT: I might add that this is all in software mode (even for files that work in hardware mode). Id like software mode to work however because transcoding is kind of a pita job.
EDIT2: Found the culprit. H.264 @300kbps is too much for this phone period. Both xvid and divix play nice even at 1000kbps.
adobe flash player working in my phone but when play the video say (this video is no optimized )and the video working slowly
please help me to solve the problem and video inthe internet working Efficiently
All videos? Try different sites. Some flash videos use different codecs and won't be as friendly to a slow CPU. It's lucky that any flash works on our phone
thanks for you but do you think there is the solution to that problem
Yes. Get a more powerful Phone.or tell what sites cause you problems.
Ya me to suffering from this problem! !
Maximum sites I tried but it has the same problem! !
Slow and laggy playback even at 3G Connection network!

Try Dolphin Browser HD, I have never used flash player before nor i will now when it's availble for our O1...
Why, u ask?
Becouse Dolphin Browser HD has flash player inside and i plays youtube and similar flash videos like from your phone video player...
I found the "Flash Player Plugin is now availble for LG P500" and i installed right away...The thing was the videos were playing like IN-PC-BROWSER and our LOW 600MHz Processor is not the 2000+ like on pc...In short-> The video plays within the browser, fps -10(lol) laggs as hell...your even lucky if your player buttons work...
So I Unistalled it and never looked back,,
Try Doplhin Browser HD, not Mini since i have never tried it, and see if i helped you or not...
or you can try puffin browser it works but sometimes it doesn't want to start the video tried this browser on icysnap by neko and works with a litlle lag
If some one got working youtube app with hd videos working please share,
I using Boat browser (and flash player on) but in "desktop mode" on YT site some videos works and some don't

With root and titanium backup, I just removed the youtube app that comes with stock.
After that I was able to reinstall youtoube from the playstore, choosing version 5.3
That version plays everything perfectly in HD.

Ok, thanks for the Info I'll check that
Update,
I don't know what is it but when I play video on that Youtube app (v5.3) when I choice HD (and I know in desktop is REAL HD) is streaming poor quality like I don't know... VGA maybe
from CC to HQ is like from very poor quality to poor quality so that was not my point. I want to play 720p or 1080p videos like on desktop
Strange, because I do get pretty good quality, definitely HD (by youtube standards).
Either install flash player and firefox, or dolphin browser and dolphin jetpack or install viral youtube app. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579795

The viral floating youtube app doesnt support 480p or 1080p because google splits the streams in to. 720p works flawless and it hasnt any great difference with 1080p.
I forgot to ask you what version of android you have, if you have 4.2 jelly bean then adobe's flash player should work with every browser that supports flash playback (like firefox or dolphin). If you re on 4.4 kitkat though you need the hacked flash player as google removed from 4.4 some critical files that the flash player needed.

Yes i have 4.4 CM11 , like I wroted up, the haked flash work like a charm, but I switch to Dolphin browser because Boat browser do not played all hd videos on YT like I was thinking, but Dolphin does. Overall I think that Boat is beter browser than dolphin, faster, lighter and smoother but is something for something, haked flash player support Dolphin and is somthing in that flash code because videos that I can't watch on Boat are smooth playable on Dolphin.

I use firefox as a browser and if i want to watch youtube videos i switch to dolphin. Dolphin is not bad at all, its the only browser at the moment which can play flash videos in 4.4 kitkat with satisfactory results and supports plugins just like firefox.
Try Og YouTube from XDA. It's a modified Youtube APK.
There you can select the resolution like you do in the webplayer.
I'm running it and it works fine.
The only issue is, that you can't log in with your Google account.

Give viral a try. See sig
Use Flashfox or Firefox and download an add-on called youtube center.
For now I using Dolphin with jetpack and moded fplayer, and YT works like on PC no problem with 720/1080p
I dont really get it , why from the first place google messed up the resolutions.
Seriously... Why is this even a problem. Videos from the YouTube app look terrible. Sucks that we have to find a workaround.
