i'm having the same problem and i can't find any real answer, sgs2 supports playing mkv's, but when trying to play using allshare it doesn't.
i tried a stupid way which doesn't make any sense just rename the file at the end with .avi
even it's a mkv. it will be played.
but then the rename should be done from the pc or if u have a wifi explorer that can do the trick.
hope this helps
If you use Serviio, it should be able to recode it to a suitable container on the fly.
The only way I know how to play mkv's the closest to the way you want is to use Skifta as a Allshare replacement and a different video player. I personally use MX Video Player. Both are better then the stock apps they replace

Guys try Arkmc
It's much better than Samsung's ****y allshare app

Apologies if this is a stupid question...
When I record a video on my phone, I'd like to be able to stream the clip on to my television through AllShare. Sadly, my television won't play the files. Neither will my 360.
Is it simply that neither will recognise the file format? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
I don't think the 360 supports the playback of recorded videos. I couldn't get mine to work when I tried.
It seemed to be pushing a 3gpp video instead of the mp4 when I did it. Maybe the fact that it was 1080p didn't help either.
Must give it another go at some point.

You can stream via allshare to the xbox, but the xbox has to be in media center mode.

I couldn't find a way playing movies from galaxy onto xbox360, how do i change the xbox to be in a media center mode?
thank you in advance
I downloaded a short clip video from a website on to my phone. It's a .wmv file about 8 megs in size, when I try to play it back in rockplayer it playsback very slow, like it's in slow motion. Yet when I playback a video recorded by the phone playback is normal and smooth.
Anybody know why?

What media player are you using to view the file?

wmv files are always a pain in the ass, they always play slower than usual if they are really using the wmv codecs, this is seems more a codec issue than a phone issue.
Have you tried other files with same extension?
hook the file to the computer and check the codec using Media Player classic from K-lite codec pack, on the properties you can see the codec used.
If on your computer the file get heavy/slower to jump from one time to other this is for sure a codec issue.
Do you get any additional lags anywhere?
Maybe the version of rock player that you are using is not the good one for your phone.
Are you using hardware acceleration? (rockplayer config)

Yes I am using whatever the latest of rockplayer is.
No I'm not using hardware acceleration. Where do I get that?!
Gladbto know it's more a codex issue than a phone thing. Still annoying though.
So is an easy fix to use hardware acceleration? !

You can try QQPlayer if it ends up being a codec issue, or system player will even play some wmv.
Is it a 720p video? High resolution or bitrate could be the problem too. Hd video is just impractical to use on x10 unless it's from the video camera.
Stick with sd mp4 trailers if you can find them.

Vital player plays Wmv ok for me, had slow speed with arc media.

I am writing as I am looking for a way to play xvid movies in the sgs2 stock browser. Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
which sites requires you to have xvid support?
usually its flash that is needed for most things.
share your info
I was trying this today and was going to ask the same question..
There's an option to register ur device to be divx certified so u can play divx protected movies on ur phone (divx n xvid are pretty much the same thing) but even after registering, I havent been able to find a way to play xvid in the browser...

I'm not sure this is what you look for but a search in the forum gives the next result.
havent tried it but there is no reason for it not to work.
please update us.

Nope that's not it. I really don't think this plug in/app exists. Shame really. Would be awesome.

Sorry, I wasn't notified of activity here.
I cannot think of a specific site at the moment but it would be nice to be able to download & view divx files without being told file not supported & it doesn't even download the file.

Not supposed to advertise websites on here anyway (i dont think you can).. Anyways I was looking for a divx plug in since I had my i9000. No luck yet though.

I have tried various apps. I have been able to connect to my network browse all files. Its just when I go to play the file it says wrong format. The funny thing is I can place these files on my vibrants SD and play them fine...
I am using trigger redux cm7 and loving it!!!!!
Anyone lol?

Files will stream if they are encoded to do so and are in a format that the vibrant can play. Mp4 files with the file info in the header would be your best bet.
Another option would be to use a streaming server/client solution like box stream and convert.it is available in the market.

What do you mean by "in the header " and I tried getting both those apps couldn't find anything pertaining to streaming or encoding.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
When you have the Vibrant then you have AllShare preinstalled...you use it?
Cause with AllShare you can watch all the vids that are on your PC via Mediaplayer...all you have to do is, add the Moviefolder to the Mediaplayer Libary and you are good to go.
I have no trouble at all streaming everything to my phone, only old codec versions like XVID or DIVX are making problems, but those are really old.
Hello.
I'm looking for a video application that lets you browse your phone/sdcard like a file manager and click on the video files that you want to play.
I know RockPlayer can do this but I wanted to try something else. Does anyone know an app similar to RockPlayer?
Thanks!
Try Mobo Player

Thanks, but it didn't work as I wanted it to. Basicaly I have a few videos that I do not want to show up in the defualt video app so I have put a ".nomedia" file in the folder where these videos are located.
Mobo player found all of these anyway and saved them for easy access.
RockPlayer is perfect really but I'm just fealing a little paranoid I guess, because it has the "Phone Call" permission. Why would a normal video app want to "read phone state and identity"? I'm not sure how it works.
