Hi,
Has anyone successfully managed to stream 720p .mkv files from a PC to your phone (And I mean stream, not transcode). The closest I have come is with E-strong file explorer, but when it plays, it plays 3 seconds, then restarts, plays 6 seconds, restarts plays 9 seconds etc..
I have tried pretty much everything, thought that cifs might help, but I can't find that anywhere.
Please let me know if you have managed to do it.
i once copyed one mkv file to galaxys 2, i just choose "just copy", then it can be played well on galaxys 2, what's your problem? i can't read your meaning clear

Hey guys,
So I was wondering if anyone else thinks the video player on the Vibrant is really lacking in terms of functionality. The device says that it can play .avi files (and then some) but when I download files from my PC to the phone (I transferred a few episodes of The Simpsons and Pixar's UP), it simply says "Unsupported Filed Type".
Does anyone else have this problem? I've also tried downloading official .divx files (movie trailers) from divx.com that I know should work on the Vibrant, but it still doesn't.
Now, I've downloaded RockPlayer and all those files that couldn't be played with the stock video player now plays perfectly. Now, what am I missing here? It's not an issue with my particular phone right? Additionally, if the phone is marketed as a multimedia phone that supports a wide variety of file types, it kind of sucks that it can't even play on the stock video player.
[PS. The files I transferred to my phone can play fine on a PS3, so the format should be correct, I believe]
Often the issue is a particular encoding or the resolution is too high. I use MediaCoder to do my conversions, because Rockplayer freezes occasionally on me.
The avi files in PC (usually downloaded from torrents) tend to be encoded with special codecs and not all players can play it. Even in the PC, if you don't have VLC player, some times they don't play in computer itself...
Convert them to supported formats before copying them to mobile.
My galaxy s2 crashes and reboot when playing .mkv file it plays for a minute then hangs (no response) then reboots. It happened using stock rom and villian rom so it might not be the issue. I suppose since the stock video player doesnt support this format but isnt the s2 capable of doing so?

The stock SGS2 is capable of playing MKVs. Have you tried a few different MKVs from different sources to see if it may just be something it doesn't like with that particular video you are trying to play?
I haven't had the problem yet on my SGS2 but on my previous phone (Captivate) there were times when a certain MKV I downloaded it did not like and would stop playing. But it was rare
I'd definitely try some other MKV videos just to see if this always happens. An MKV file from somewhere else or totally different (not from the same source as the one that does not play) just to narrow it down. I play MKVs nearly daily during my train commute to work and haven't had any problems on stock player
You can also try Mobo player - its free. Just to see if it happens on that too
Actually i used mobo player and orher player but same issue in pc it plays fine il try differrent file with mkv format il see how that works since i only tried one file so far since it supports mkv it should be the file issue but it works fine in pc thanks ill let u know if it works

Its usually a sign of unplayable format of the file .
MKV is a container with many formats .

Thank you guys, its just as you guys said some formats of mkv doesnt work but others does. Tried another mkv file and it works in the default player unlike the the former mkv where the default player said that the format is not compatible. Just to note the mkv with subtitle crashed but the one without subtitle worked. Not sure if that could be the reason
Btw how to use the thanks meter?

last night i decided to watch a movie ( star wars episode 1) and every few minutes it would stop and go back to the movie selection screen. I wasn't a set time it would stop like every 5 minutes or 2 minutes. Sometimes it would last 30 sec some times 15 minutes.
So i thought maybe it was the player so i downloaded rockplayer,qq,bs,mobo,mx etc. I tried them all and no luck it still did it every time.
So i thought since star wars as a mkv file it was problem,but no i played adventure time witch was a .avi movie and still the something.Then i thought well maybe it's the display timer so i turned it off, nope still doing it.
My prime is docked and its one of the primes with unknown serial and i have manually updated to ics. If any of that info helps.
I'm converted the movie unknown to mp4 and I'm going to try that to night and see if it still does it.
Any help would appreciated. thanks
same Problem. beginn after root maybe?
What app are you using for playback? I had similar issue with MX Player but did not experience this issue with BS Player.

I use dice player for mkvs and it is smooth like butter, best player i have found by far. If i play 1080p videos i have to copy them to the tablet but i can wirelessly stream 720p np from my desktop to myprime via es file explorer. I do hdmi out for most movies.
Hope this helps
BS player works great, thanks to whoever suggested it--I wasn't able to seek to certain parts of most of my movies without them crashing, but this player has no trouble finding any spot I want
Just got the S3 couple days ago and I have a problem with WIFI Streaming at home.
Previously, I have been using the Transformer to stream large video files over wifi without having any issues.
On the S3, I have tried ES File, and File manager to stream videos and transfer files that are over 500MB. Streaming stopped at various times and transferring large files always stopped at some point and eventually crashed the transfer. I don't know what's the issue is and WIFI seems to be stable and I never had an issue in regards to losing connection.
When the video is played, it would load to certain point, and then when the video reached that point, it would stopped.
This happened on MX Player and the default video player.
No problem at all when the same video is played from internal memory.
Transferring and streaming small files such as MP3 seems to be ok.
WIFI is set to always on during sleep.
I even tried to *#0011# method to turn off WIFI power save mode.
Anyone knows what the issue is?
THANK YOU!
Anyone able to help?
Can someone please help? Thank you!!
Same video streaming issues. problem details.
Hi.
I'm just a week into Android OS but have good knowledge of Windows and networks.
I bought a Sammy 7" Tab 2 (ICS) last week and liked it so much, I gave it to my wife and got a Samsung 7.7 (Honeycomb). So, I have both OS's to play with. Both are WiFi only. Both have the same problem.
I have a large collection of old movies & tv (w/o DMR) on my W7 desktop's hard drives. I can copy the files via USB or over WiFi using "ES File explorer" with no problems. Once the files are on the tablets local drives, xvid, avi, wmv, mkv, and mp4 all play perfectly.
If I stream the video, using "ES File explorer", wmv and mp4 files play fine, but the other formats don't. I've tried Mobo and 2 other players with the same results. Most of my library is in xvid format. I can covert them, but that's a nutty solution.
Anyone have the same problem? Better yet, understand why and have a solution?

Hi all,
I am using MX player to watch videos and it seems to lag with some MKV files. There is no lag on avi/mp4 files, and sometimes even some mkv's work. Recently though I am unable to play any MKVs without lag. I'm unsure if this is how the system works, but I am unable to use the HW/HW+ decoder on any MKV files.
Today I flashed a custom rom onto my galaxy tab 2 and tried overclocking, but I haven't noticed any difference. ( I may be doing something wrong). It seems that I have the same issue with other players too.
If someone could help me out, that would be great. I'm not sure if I need a settings change, new player, different overclock values, etc. Hopefully it's possible to watch my MKV files
Edit: If someone could also suggest if there is a certain rom that helps too I'd appreciate it.

I don't know, but i could suggest you to post this in the right section, this is for the galaxy tab 10.1 (gt-p75xx) not the tab 2 10.1 (gt-p51xx) lol
