Okay, so I just installed CM7 on my Atrix yesterday and my question is, how do I make CM7 see my AVI files in Videos or Gallery. What I'm really trying to get at is that I want to use DLNA to share movies on my phone to my PS3. It sees any video that I record with the camera and also will play AVI files (When I go through the file browser). Do you guys know any suggestions for playing my movies from my phone to my PS3 (over WiFi)?

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.
First off. These forums have been amazing for this newb trying to get my device set up. I am good to go except for playing rippped DVD's.
I am running Calkulin+Clemsyn Froyo Combo.
I travel a lot so I am trying to rip my DVD collection into AVI's and then store on my 32gb micro sd card. I rip the dvd's into AVI's (currently DVD Ripper Platinum) on my PC and then copy over.
My issues:
1. I find that when I copy to sdcard2 (as opposed to sdcard) the files corrupt less often. Often times, I rip on pc, copy to sdcard2 and load with qqplayer and it hangs. I then copy the same file from the pc to sdcard and it plays. Strange.
2. Even when I get get the file to play, the quality is terrible. Audio ahead of video. Very herky/jerky during any type of action. Not sure if this is an issue when I am ripping or a Gtablet setting. Does avi vs mp4 make a difference?
Any help would be appreciated.
I've been watching ripped dvds as Xvid avi files on my gTab since day one without issues or problems. I use DVDFab and am running VEGAn 5.1.1 without any tweaks.

Thanks. What Gtab player are you using? Also, is xvid it's own format or is it a type of avi?
I also have no problem watching AVI or MP4. Try a different player. I use Summer Player from the market or the video player in ES file explorer. Calkulins and Clemsyn kernal.
Does your ROM have the video drivers that can utilize the nvidia video HW? When I was flipping between ROMs a while back, I recall that my video playback was poor on some ROMs because drivers were absent.
I have good video playback on all the tntlite releases and I am at 5.0.0 right now. I use the stock "normal profile" on handbrake to transcode dvd rips into mp4/m4v files. A typical movie is about 1G.
I have used the standard "gallery" to play movies, and currently use "mVideoPlayer" from the market.
For myself, I'm using VEGAN-Tab, 5.1.1 and the default player. I use AnyDVD with Handbrake and use the iPad preset. Works great with excellent video quality.

I think that may be the issue as I tried the suggestions posted and am still getting very choppy video. Can you let me know where to download. I did a search to no avail.
Thanks.
Issue fixed. Flashed Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 and everything plays great. Tried Ginger Edition before going to 5.1 and had same issues.

Right. I think only the releases up to froyo/2.2 have the proper drivers for decent video.
absolutely incredible...

I have a diff issue with watching videos. I feel as if the sound isn't loud enough no matter which setting I mess with. When I listen to music this is never an issue so I know sound is fine on my g tab. The video files play fine on my laptop and I have tried the volume buttons on top. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance I love this forum
I am having issues playing movies off of the microsd card. I have about 8 movies saved to a 32gb microsd. I have two movies that will play (they are about 800mb each) but all of the others don't play (they are all 1.2 -1.5 gb). Does anyone know if the gtab has issues with playing larger files off of the microsd. I am running TNT Lite 4.4 Any suggestions appreciated.
Have an external hd connected to my western digital media hub, both have quite a lot of movies on there id like to stream to my phone, i can stream mp4 through twonky quite easily but 99% of my movies are ripped in mkv format, would be perfect if i could stream them to my phone then use hdmi out to watch in another room, any ways to do this?
no then? :s

Would like to know any app that can stream media files from smb/cifs share.
CIFS Manager will get you file level access to the NAS, provided the kernel you're running supports CIFS (I don't have an SGS, so can't tell you). You should be able to find instructions in the forums.
In terms of playback of the actual files, if they're playable from SD card, they should work via CIFS manager.
Have a look into Plex as its an awesome app. It has a problem on the S2 at the mo but there is away around this, read the post here:

Another way to try is to dl UPnPlay and then see if this works, you may need to download rockplayer but the stock video player should work with UPnPlay
Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone had any issues playing videos (of any type) to play properly on their tab and if so if they have found a way to fix it..?
Recently bought a tab 10.1, and no matter what file type I upload - avi, mkv, xvid, divx, mp4, m4v etc none will play without pixelation on playback.
I've converted with 5 different converters, played using moboplayer, vplayer, rockplayer, diceplayer and mxplayer.
Youtube playback is fine, I'm going to try streaming tonight see if that's fine.
Don't really know what else to do. So any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

What quality of vids are you playing? 720p should be fine with those player especially mobo and dice
I'm not playing HD quality. Most of my video files are normal quality avi's. Really I'd really like it to just play them but it won't play them without the pixelation.
K well I tried streaming a video from my MacBook Pro to my tab via wifi and it works perfectly...
Thoughts anyone?
How are you transferring the files onto your tab? I have a MAc book pro also and the only way I was able to transfer quickly was via the USB adaptor...
I'm using Diceplayer and have encountered no issues with play back and most of my files are downloads and avi, mkv etc. I just plug and play, no converting or anythign and not encountered any pixilation or play back issues.
Seems what works for some doesn't work for others...but if streaming worked for you, try the adaptor for getting your video's onto the tab.

I'm using Kies, and that seems to transfer at a reasonable rate. Not too painfully slow.

Have u tried transfer it manually using usb data cable from pc to tab?
i'm not suprised you're getting pixalation issues if you're trying to transfer using Kies. I found it an absolute joke but then again I am using a MAC.
Just suck it up and buy the USB adaptor...and transfer files via a USB stick or use WIFI explorer
Ya, Kies is as absolute joke on Mac.
Didn't think that it was the program that was causing my problems. I searched and searched for days and converted god knows how many types of files when all along it the useless program.
I just transferred some files via the hubby's PC through File Explorer and it's now playing perfectly.
Total fail of a program. Can't update firmware on Mac, can't upload files, it can't even update itself.
Cheers for all the help guys.
Why not instead of the USB cable, download SwiFTP and setup an FTP server on the tab? Then just FTP files to it using FileZilla on the PC or something?
Ok here is the problem I am having. Im using my PC in my office as a media server. I am able to connect with my DNA and pull up all my videos with ease. Thing is not all my videos are in .mp4 format majority are in .avi. I am able to see the thumbnails of the videos but when I play them it says cannot be played. So on the side there is an option where you can search for wifi players. Tried that and even though I have video apps like mobo, vlc, and mx video installed. HTC doesn't recognize these options as wifi players. So should I convert these movies to .mp4? Im trying not to because most are HD movies over a gig each.

Clear the defaults for your stock video player and tap on the movie you want while using a file explorer then pick what player you want. The player option is for you to stream from your phone to a device that can hande the format, not an app on your phone.
