I have movies in AVI on a HDD...i dragged a few into the Movie folder i made in the GTab. I downloaded the MX Media Player...which they claim is the best. No movies play. Anyone know why? Ive tried and tried. I have VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1. Qorks fine i like it. No real need to upgrade so far.
I have videos from youtube that i converted to i think AVI..they all play well thru MX. But not Full movies. Really weird.
Actually, I use Mobi player, Ill have to confirm the name when I get home today, but its been able to play everything Mk hasn't including the .mkv files I tried to play.
But its weird tho. Because all the youtube videos that i converted to AVI....they play fine. My movies are in AVI also..so i can't see why its not playing.
Ill try what you said also. Still experimenting with everything. Thanks for the reply.
Hey I think its actually Mobo instead of Mobi, also they just did an update.
Yea lol. I was searching Mobi for about 1 minute...then saw Mobo at the bottom. Gonna try that today. Sounds like its very good. Ill let you know how that works.
But strange...ill plug my GTab in the PC...and drag the movie in the movies folder...takes about 10 min for a 700-800 MB movie. But when it gets in there...ill see it in my SD card as 700MB..but when i click it to play it in MX...it'll say 17:00 for the time...and won't play. But its showing as a 1 hour or so movie in the Internal SD.
How did Mobo work for ya?
Man..i didnt try it yet. I been busy looking all over the net for the apps that comes up as "Not Compatible" in the Market. Found alot. But not my number 1 favorite app. "Spades Free" by AI Factory Limited. Can't get it nowhere.
I will try out that Mobo for sure. And ill let you know. Will do it tonight.
Did you also download the add on for the Mx player. I have the mx player and the mx video codec armv7 and I played an avi of green lantern, just fine.

I DID download the add on. It ask me for it before i could go on. It plays the AVI that i converted from youtube vids. But my movie...The Warriors....its about 700MB..i moved it to my SD card of the GTab...just like those other vids....wont play. Looks like its showing 17:00 min...but its actually a 1 hour 30 something min movie.
Weird...still havent tried the Mobo yet...been lazy lol. Gonna try for sure today.
OK how bout decoder settings, I have mine set at sw since hw doesn't work on this rom. When I first tried hw. Was set and it was all messed up til I switched and restarted the movie.

hmm..ill look at that. BUT..why would the youtube videos work? I converted with youtube to AVI. So its AVI also..just shorter then the movie. I doubt the length of the movie made it do that.
Plus..when i dragged the movie file into the SD card....took like 10 min...so i know it was the whole movie. When i look at the movie when its sitting in the movie folder in the SD card...it shows 1 hour and 34 minutes..but when i click the MX Player to see it..it shows 17:00. Im like what the hell. I gotta figure this out.
I agree want to figure it out as well just in case I ever run into it. I know I have my movie sitting on the micosd card, also an idea that popped into my head try transferring a different movie, could be something happened during transfer that it didn't all make it, making it only 17 min

"AVI" is too vague of a description. that is merely a container format, there are dozens of codecs that could be found inside.
Ill look into that. don't see why i would need to. Only because all my short AVI converted youtube stuff played. I mean....why would they play and not the movie? There both AVI...you know. Still havent tried it again yet. been playing around with the GTab too much lol. Adding stuff.
Didnt play in Mobo either. Did the same thing it did in MX Player. When i click the movie...goes straight back to the SD card..wont play it. Shows 12:34:56 as the time. But the full 701MB. And YES...the whole movie is on there. Im gonna freak out if i dont figure out why its doing this.
Don't really care if movies play on here..but i know it should. So its trippin' me out.
Edit: Just downloaded QQ Player. The only player so far that my movies time shows up in full..1 hour and 43 minutes. I thought it was gonna play...nope...1 second then back to the SD card. Dont know what the hell is wrong.
Edit 2: I just changed the Decoder Mode in QQ Player to "QQ Player" Decoder mode. NOW the movie is playing. BUT...its moving really fast. A little too fast. But its playing. The subtitles are ahead of the movie. And the movie itself is playing like its on 2x speed.
I realized that on the market there is mobo player and mobo video player, which one did u try, cause my tab is using video player
I forgot which one it was. It worked for my short AVI stuff. But did the same for my movie.
But QQ Player fixed it. QQ plays fine now. Maybe i thought it was going fast for a second. Plays perfect. If you read up about it...plays all of the movie extentions. So far....QQ is my player. I deleted Mobo but kept MX.

I just tried a 3gp coded full-HD 1080p video - tapped on it, it immediately opened and played like it's nothing.
So to all people who are wondering if it can handle full hd - hell yes, with great ease.
Remember though that HD videos through media player are not the same thing as HD videos in browser. Also, encode it in formats that NK likes (so it can use hardware decoding).
Woot! Woot!
EDIT: I've also tried MP4 tegra testing vids - 1920x1080 plays like a champ, full fps.
nice, was looking for a post like this. I plan on mostly buying this to watch videos in bed. Sounds like it will fit the bill.
My 720p MKV plays video fine, but no audio. I cant figure out how to get a different player on there to test. Anyone have an APK for a free video player that I can try to sideload?

Your NK will not let you sideload, it'll say unrecognized file.
Sideloading is still something I'm waiting for =)

You can either recode them to mp4 or wait for sideloading to be enabled...
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?

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

I've installed mobo player.
i've just put on avatar, transformers 3 and warrior. as i dragged them across the pc started converting them. each of them looked ok in the folder. when i unplugged the phone and tried playing them they were just about 5 minutes long with just a bit of music.
i'm completely stuck and baffled...
just tried again, and again, only 4 minutes 51 secs of video played. i don't understand why. is it because i'm uploading using my pc?
why is the pc trying to convert my file format as i'm trying to transfer it? confused!!!
I play 720p mp4 flawlessly with Mvideoplayer. I wasn't promted to convert my MP4 files when I copied them from my PC to my phone, but it did come up when I did it with some AVI files. I clicked no to conversion and they play fine on my phone.
OK, so i've now tried loading another type of file, avi, to the phone. it was a 6.2GB movie. It didn't load, said it was too big!!! WTF!
this is some FAT32 issue right?
But this still doesn't solve my original problem.
I've loaded many different files, many types, different sizes.... But it seems like all the stock video player (and now MOBO Player) wants to do is play only 4 minutes 51 seconds........
but when you look at the file through astro or the pc, it shows the true length of the file.... thnk i'm missing something here, it may be basic, but please help someone. been at this all day with no luck!!
wmv
anybody knows about a player for wmv files? I tried using the Mx Video Player but it says it doesn't support it.
I don't whether you guys looking for the free or paid apps
but
I personally using rockplayer lite and it does work with almost every thing especially if you use "play with hardware acceleration" then every thinh up to 3.5 gb film is work pefectly
I got also a PowerDVD mobile (violation of the xda ...) hacked one so it work well.
so i cannnot post a apk.
Try diceplayer

I transferred movies onto mine, six files ranging from about 700mb to 1.6gb in avi format and they play without any problems on mobo player,I also have power dvd mobile legit version and that plays them as well, the only thing I find with power dvd is it stops playing now and again and I have to press play for it to continue.
I'm on windows 7 and that asks me do I want to convert it,I don't generally but with the planet of the apes I did but it played ok just a smaller file size.
The only thing I can suggest if you haven't already done so is instead of drag and drop, try right clicking on the file and copy/paste and see if that makes a difference??

i tried like mx video player. mobo player etc almost anything with neon codec support. it can barely play a 720p wmv properly, audio just out of sync and video is laggy. something is not right here. however i try some other resolution like 480p and it works fine.
my ex optimus 3d can even play almost all video format with hardware acceleration support.
some media players does not use hardware acceleration!! thats is way is not work fluently

This was the kind of answer I was looking for.
I've spent al most 2 days trying to figure it out.
I've used mp4 files, other formats, normal transfer and transfer using pc companion.
I will try avi files, and no to convert.
hoping this works. stay tuned...
what kind of video can the galley-app play?
I would much like to stream to my Sony TV without HDMI-cabel, same way it works with pictures
Hi,
What is the best program to play movies and subtitles for XPS?
If you try to copy videos or audio it will sometimes ask you to format the file, simply don't allow this when the window pops up.
This will be different for every computer depending on what codecs you have installed.
Also sounds like your possibly not waiting long enough for the files to copy over? Might not be showing the progress bar for what ever reason, slow pc?
Replace the miniUSB cable perhaps with another.
Try a different computer to drag and drop the files across.
There's a 2gb file size limit with the fat file system, a 720p or lower avi movie that's about 700mb is plenty quality for a screen this small, you don't need large blueray 1080p clips taking up memory for a very minor difference in quality.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Also you can put files anywhere on the memory, player will pick up the files automatically.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
If you use a combination of bubbleupnp and dice player you can play almost all movie formats just fine. It is perfectly possible to play videos from other dlna servers as well as play videos from the phone on other dlna renderers.

Hi all,
I recently jumped the bandwagon and installed ICS leak on it. Tried Dagr8 Alpha 1 and 2. I also tried Collective. I really love those leaked roms (except maybe Alpha 2, so much lag in my case).
I need help with MX player. One of the biggest reason I bought the note was to watch a lot of my anime series when in the bus going to work/from work. I download animes in MKV format and the subtitles there are embedded. The anime I download are usually 1080p and 720p. I download this video size because sometimes I watch it on my computer too. So I just download it at large sizes so I can watch it anywhere with good quality.
Anyway, when I installed ICS and installed MX player, I'm having horrible out of sync with audio/video. It also gets worse when you watch the video longer. Sometimes out of sync takes a 4-second difference.
If I change from Hardware acceleration to Software, out of sync goes away but the playback is sooo laggy that you can't watch it too. ** Oh maybe not totally go away, as I just experienced right now (while typing this) that I had an out of sync issue even in software decoder. **
I never had any issue with GingerBread. All my anime video plays fine even in 1080p. I have not tried converting to Mp4 but I don't think it will make sense because it was working before with GB. I have a lot of anime and converting it would be a pain for me. Maybe there is a trick that I can do in ICS to fix this issue.
Are you guys also having out of sync issues with some videos in MX player? If not, please try playing videos in MKV with embedded subs and let me know.
I really want to stick with ICS. This is the only reason I'm going to go back to GB before I get to work on monday Please help, I really don't want to go back to GB anymore.
Thanks
bumping thread.
or maybe others can suggest a player that is like MX that uses hardware acceleration to play clips.
Mobo Player does not and I can't find any other player out there that uses HW accel for playback.
Thanks

Thanks. That would be awesome. I'm actually looking for a 1080p mkv movie video (even trailers will do) so I could just test it without subs. Surprisingly I can't find one .. lol.
If you are going to download, try mkv animes + embedded subs. I did other test with some other animes and noticed that not are all the same. Although all of anime have audio/video/subs sync issues but some of them only has .5 seconds lag. Some 2 seconds, extremes are 4 seconds. I would assume that whatever is causing this, is how the anime was encoded but when I play it with Gingerbread, not a single sync issue happens. So its either the ICS leak or MX Player.
Thanks again. Looking forward for your test results

Just downloaded ninja scroll episodes to test. The files are mkv with English subs. Everything seemed to be in perfect sync, but hard to tell on a subtitled video.
Just so you know, these are 65mb files so they're not of the highest quality but everything runs fine in terms of audio sync.

Thanks for the test. Yup, I failed to mention that if its 480p .. its fine. Whenever you raise the bar to 720p or 1080p videos then its a different story.
I still have few hours to test. Thanks for spending time and testing it

Ok so I downloaded ghost in the shell 2.0 and it's 720p mkv format. The mx player would not use hardware encoding to play it, but it played via "sw encoding (fast)".
I loaded up the subtitles and let it run. I skipped several places every 20 minutes or so to test. It played with no issues, audio and video were in sync with the subtitles.
You may want to try software encoding (fast) on your mkv files, maybe that'll work for you as well. You can adjust the encoder in the settings.

Ok I will try to do it. Maybe tomorrow since I already flashed back to GB. I only used software decode (not the fast one). But its weird that you don't have HW playback. hmmm. All my videos played in HW acceleration fine, of course except the audio/video sync.
Hmm ..
I actually found something interesting. MX player has issues with some subtitles with our leak ICS.
I tried Dice Player which also uses HW acceleration and I don't have any issue with the same video.
I also tried other ICS video players that use HW and there are no issues.
So, i think its just MX player.

I'm trying to watch avi videos that ive downloaded and everytime i try to skip ahead or back in the video, the progress bar will move with my finger, and then when i let go it just goes back to wherever it was. so i can only watch the movie from start to finish, which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't keep kicking me out of the app every 15 or 20 minutes. so i'll get 15 minutes through the movie, then the app (in this case mxvideo or vplayerr) will force close and then when i go back to open it again and watch the movie, i have to start from the start, no skipping back to where i was. also my stock video player wont even play these avi files. and it's nothing wierd, just tin tin andsome other movies for my son. anyone know a way around this or even experienced this?
I've never experienced that and I use MX to watch Avi's all the time. I also use it over the network with ES Explorer. Maybe check your files and play with the settings in MX.
