I am trying to play compressed video, specifically Xvid compressed AVIs on my GTab with Vegan GingerEdition. I tried YXplayer and Arcmedia, both play Xvid compression fine on my android(gingerbread) phone. Anyone know how to get them to play? Do I need to change builds?
I hear that only Froyo builds can playback compressed video. Is there anyone that has found some way to play them on gingerbread? thanks
Vplayer works
For anyone interested: I got them to play with Vplayer from the Android market.
Also this works with Tversity so you can stream your media to your Gtab.
On FroYo roms like VEGAn 5.1.1 my xvid avi files played with the stock player just fine.
I still can't get any of them to play regardless of what video/media app I download from the Market on any Gingerbread roms.
I use Rockplayer (lite works fine) from the market and when you play vids just select software decode, they play just fine.
MoboPlayer works great and is free. I like the interface, too.

When i transferred from the Captivate to the Streak.. My movies don't show up on the streak. Only the mp4 movies show up.
Does the streak play avi, xvid, divx files? how?
use RockPlayer or vPlayer, but you might have to start the video straight from the app instead of the gallery.
vPlayer works on your streak?
to be honest vplayer does work but very poorly, as in it can't use hardware decoder and force closes itself after a little bit.
RockPlayer does indeed ROCK!
vplayer works perfectly fine on my streak, I mainly use it to watch .flv

Thats weird, I get a FC every time I try to watch a avi file. Im on Steves 1.5.3
Give VitalPlayer on the market a shot. Vplayer didn't work for me on 318 with Steve's kernel. You can also try RockPlayer on the market.

Yes if you start vplayer from the icon it does FC, if you try to play it from astro then it asks you what player then pick vplayer it sometimes works and sometims doesn't, but regardless if it plays it does play in software mode, video is ultra laggy and stops after a bit. so USELESS.
Should really look into Rock player. Haven't tried VitalPlayer but rockplayer does the job, for sure plays 720p content easy no hickups or anything.
Yeah I have Rockplayer installed, but 720p doesn´t play smoothly at all. Playing 720p on a 5" screen doesn´t make sense anyway, unless you have supervision and your nose touches the screen, so it´s not really a problem for me.
But I am just not that happy with having only one software choice, not that rockplayer is bad, just the opposite, but I would like having rockplayer installed because I think it is the best avi player, not because it is the only one working on my device.
Rockplayer actually started working crappy for me a few weeks back, and I moved to VPlayer, which works great now. I've even encoded 2000 bit 800x480 movies for it and it works fine. Rockplayer started really hiccuping on avis, no clue why.
720p video plays better on the default player than on Rockplayer as long as it is MP4 (well the default player hardly plays anything else)
Alright so i am downloading youtube videos thru an app in my Streak. And the format is either in .flv or .mp4. I tried a few video players like Rock Player etc. Some couldnt even play them. Rock Player was able to play it with huge lags and only in software encoding mode. Hardware encoding wont let me play the video.
So any advice guys? Which video players do you use?
VitalPlayer
Tried VitalPlayer. It plays the videos for 1 secs and then go back to the main vitalplayer screen. Maybe the stock sdcard isnt fast enough...
VitalPlayer is the best I've seen so far...
What app are you using to download the videos? It could be doing a really bad encode. I would imagine that the youtube player should be able to play those videos if nothing else. Have you tried going into the file manager then playing them with the youtube player?
I like rockplayer.

Used Rockplayer but have now gone onto Vitalplayer it seems to play a bit smoother
with vplayer in 1.5.2 i was able to see all videos also from fb, on the 1.6.0 the vplayer crash on starting the app.
i tried vitaplayer and rockplayer, they works but cant see all the videos from fb, only some and only with rockplayer.....
Very disappointed with RockPlayer - same videos that play super smooth on VitalPlayer, lag as hell on Rockplayer.
For me - Vital Player wins for now
I`m on 318 stock.
Mp4 films go straight into the gallery and the stock player is perfect, every single other player ive used goes out of sync or glitchy, i recommend a korean app, search the market for avi, and its a blue film reel, you cant understand the settings(unless you know.korean) but its perfect for divx, avi, flv, mkv, everything ive come across

I've been happy with QQPlayer.
And I with Act 1 Video Player ! The most full-featured player for video media on your sdcard! Lots of unique features.
I've been using Rockplayer and that lagged with a few videos. Just tried Vitalplayer and it plays the same videos without any perceivable lag.
Is there any video player with HDMI support for Streak except the stock Gallery player which plays limited formats?
I felt "arcMedia" is a pretty good player!!
i like qqplayer,doubletwist,and mvideo player
use astro file to move videos around if need to

I use tubemate, save, then playback on mVideoPlayer while at the gym.
I also watch my regular movies on my Streak.
I use mVideoPlayer. It is my favorite. It allows playback in either landscape or portrait. It's perfect for playing music mix videos in the car.
The swipe is very intuitive. No need or further looking IMO.
I have tried many (ArcMedia, Rock Player, Movies, ESplayer) and I can tell you that VitalPlayer is the ONLY one that will play .wmv files on my Dell Streak running Froyo !!
Awesome player
Though I have loaded flash (initially 10.2 and now 10.3) and can play a flash movie from YouTube, I cannot play the downloaded version of the same movie - there does not seem to be an association to the .flv filetype.
Any solutions other than transcoding to mp4?
Thanks

There are flv players in the market. Simply search for flv player.
I had issues with video playback from my mp4 videos and such they were showing flashes and played but were choppy.i installed flash 11 from the market to fix the issue.lost sound when i did this.so i uninstalled it now everything plays perfect even hd.so if anyone has this issue this worked for me.
What player are you using? I used Rock Player to test some AVI videos yesterday and it seemed to work perfect.

How big were your files, and what format if you don't mind me asking? I tried playing a few mkv files, at first they didn't work, I then rebooted and one of them would play, albiet, choppily (MX Video Player). The files were 700MB-1.5GB.
I did download a 720p mp4 video of Lion King's "hakuna matata" from youtube, that played fine.
1080 videos of various sizes and i am just using the native player built in cyanogen
Try Mobo Player, if it doesnt work as it is, download its ARMv7 codecs from the market
I've been trying to play MKV files off of my gtab with flashback 10.1.
I can get it to play with OnlinePlayer but it is too laggy to watch enjoyably, and I tried Mobo Video which doesn't seem to work for me after installing like 3 add ons they recommended...
Anyone else have any luck? I really want to use this as a video player device but I can't get files to work.
I'm on flashback 10 (since all 10.1 seems to do is update / replace / remove various apps) and I've been using MX Video Player to play my MKV files. works perfectly. I was specifically looking for a player that handles softsubs on MKVs and this player does that far better than I expected. So many extra little features works fine for me with 720P files. haven't tried any 1080P ones though.

Ok I will try that out. Isn't the gtab with honeycomb incapable of playing HD video though?
edit: Tried out MX Video player. Very good recommendation. It is great! Thank you very much.
