DicePlayer works great on the Prime. MKVs are super smooth!
Thanks for taking down the warez in the first post
Dice Player ad supported version to go out on the Android Market soon, paid version probably to SlideMe (and/or Amazon).

You should remove this (but thanks)
this player is perfect, nothing I have used can come close to matching its performance. 8 gig high profile 1080p movies play flawlessly with no lag at all skipping to any point in the movie. very cool
played 11gig movie from mxplayer over DLNA still smooth
I was trying to play some 1080p stuff on my prime and it was lagging and eventually just quit. It was a x264 mkv file with ac3 codex for sound). When I try to play it in mx player, so it's smooth with h/with acceleration but has no sound. The I tried running it on my pc and it worked fine.

Haven't tried MX Videoplayer on the Prime just yet, but it's playback isn't as good as Dice Player on every other device I've used it in.

I threw a 17gb 1080p MKV of Jurassic Park on my Prime and watched it with DicePlayer. Fantastic playback.

I just hooked the USB cable up to my computer and navigated to the internal memory and dropped the file into the "Movies" folder. it took almost an hour to transfer it.
Oh, and in the Market there's "DicePlayer plugin for tegra2". I have that installed. See if that works.

I removed DICE last night due to the LAN streaming limitations. BS Player worked so much better for me and played even more than DICE did for me.

BS player is the ticket, especially with no paid version of dice player available.

What LAN streaming limitations?
Just use ES File Explorer on the LAN tab create entries for your samba shares, navigate to your media collection and when you tap to play the movie you can choose which player to launch it with. Works great with DicePlayer.

Did you copy it to internal memory or an SD card? If to an SD card how is it formatted? You may need to format the SD card as NTFS to properly support large file sizes on the Prime.

Tried ES File Explorer, but the load time was too long to start a large file. With BS it is instant.

Load time may be a little longer (by like 3-5 seconds) but BS Player is noticeably choppier when actually playing high def content (yes I have HW acceleration on).

BSplayer is good to. But I miss that there are no controller/option to adjust the subtitle sync.
There, both Dice and MX has an advantage that they have multiple settings for the subtitle.

Ok am rooted and have Android Market. Downloaded Mplayer but I have some movies that the wife wants on the NT (Harry Potter). Most are AVI format as I ripped them from DVD's. Will the NT play those with Mplayer or should I change them to Mp4's.

They should play.
Use mx player it will play avi, xvid,divx, without issue. It supports many other formats as well.
You can either use what the above posters have suggested or change them to mp4.
Thanks guys never tried MXplayer but I will load it up.
I have couple avi video files won't play, and then some will play just fine. I wonder if it's because the resolution isn't right or not.

Resolution shouldn't be an issue the way the avi was encode could be. Are using the stock player because its just ok not great. Try mxplayer its pretty close to great if not great. Some mvk will studder over wifi but other than that it play anything I throw at it.

Ok still having some wierdness. Got MX Player you guys using Hardware or Software modes. I seem to be having issues with it in hardware mode. I re-ripped all the Harry Potter dvd's for the wife and some play and some dont. I ripped them all as MP4 just to be safe.

I have MX player installed, and i could only play about 50% of my avi. I'll probably have to look into the ones that play, and comparing to the ones that don't, and see if something stands out.
>I have MX player installed, and i could only play about 50% of my avi.
AVI is a container format that has been hacked to contain streams that it was never designed to contain. Better PC players can accommodate the hacks, but the Android ones can't.
Fix: Install MKVToolnix. Drop in the AVI, click Start Muxing. 10 secs later, you get an MKV that works.
Hello, I have recently encountered issues with regards to 1080p video playback.
Being aware that the TF201 has 4 cores, I had expected smooth playback with no lag.
When playing media files from my Plex media server, the 1080p video files play flawlessly. Though when playing the exact same files locally from the Transformer's directory, the video plays with extreme lag and jittery.

Anyone know a possible solution?

Are you using an SD card to play your video files? using a class 6 or lower card may cause studdering in HD video files. You'll want a class 10 card.

It shouldn't. Usually internal flash storage is a lot faster than removable flash storage. I doubt ASUS would go cheap and use cheap flash storage on their device.
Do you know what type of video format you are playing? mkv is a video container, which usually hold h.264 video files and 5.1 digital sound format, but can be different.
Ask Andyx over in his thread, "what would you like to know about the prime" . He might can help you. It should be able to play 1080p files flawlessly as it's been tested as so by a few members here that have it and major reviewers. It might be your encoding. It should play with no lag or issues from internal storage or SD card. Actually been tested by major reviewer, I think Anadtech or technobuffalo, to play just as flawlessly from SD card than from internal storage.

The file AndyX played on his YouTube vid was 1080P MKV file also. Which played with no issues. I'd say run these same stats by him to compare to what he ran in his video. There's another guy here to that ran a high quality video test. His thread is called something like you got questions, I got questions. Those 2 and candy are the only ones it's seems that have a prime also already that might can help.
The only thing I can think is that the file is encoded using some odd parameters that do not jive with the Prime and the reason it works with Plex is because it's doing some kind of decoding, even if on a lower level.

I'd go with that. I've seen some nutty as a fruit cake parameters on mkv's I've shared from friends. one of them just will not convert in handbrake, it looks like crap and yet played natively as an mkv file it looks fine. when I delved into the frame encoding etc it was bizarre.
I'd go with a grotty mkv file over the prime having an issue here.

On MX player, did you try all 3 coding options ( HW, SW, SW fast)? If so, try dice player trial. Almost like mx, but they have their own codecs to download.

Dice Player on the Market should do the trick. Works really well and plays everything I throw at it, but the "Paid" version seems to be missing from the Market at the moment due to Google Checkout issues with the developer.
Anand did a really good review testing all kinds of video codecs. He was able to play 1080p H.264 high profile streams at up to 40Mbps just fine using DicePlayer.
Video Playback: Blu-ray Quality in a Tablet
wtf, same old problems? The only reason I sold my old one and upgraded was because I thought the thing was a beast and could crunch through any video format without re encoding.

Needless to say, I'm pretty pissed at ASUS right now.
I need this tablet before I go on my trip on Jan 2.
They pretty much said they would deliver on time and have learned from the original release. NOPE.
They originally promised that the keyboard would work with newer generations. NOPE.

Technically speaking, it can, the only reason why I am currently unable to do so is perhaps due to software issues. Playback is perfectly fine via media servers, but I encounter issues when playing back the same videos in local storage.
I would recommend BS Player Lite.... I tried DICE, MX, Mobo, Vplayer and many others last night and BS was the only one that would play everything (even 1080p) smoothly, even over a network connection from a local share. Best part, it's free!!
Market location: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
Tips for best playback:
- If you use it over a network, go into BS Player and use its LAN mode. The decoder must be the BSEngine Hardware Decoder to stream.
- For local playing content, change the decoder to the system hardware decoder and not the BSEngine hardware decoder. Works so much better.
So far I have been able to play (both locally and streaming from a network share), 1080p and 720p video including DTS Audio from the following formats: MKV, WMV, AVI, F4V, MP4, FLV, DIVX and M4V.
Just tried it on an 1080p file. System HW decoder- video looks great but no sound. BS Player HW decoder- video looks like crap but audio works. Having the same issues with mxplayer. Very dissapointing.

Dice player seems to be king of media players. just make sure if you watching movie from internal memory/external or removable(micro SD card) that its using HW decoding.
I Agree with the OP ... BSPlayer has been flawless for every video bar 1 for me ... Dice player isnt free but the trial was the same as BSPlayer for the files i tried.
How do you connect in lan mode? When I go in LAN MODE my ip adress is already in. I cant change it. I put in user name and pw and i get an invalid host message.

I use the BSPlayer as well. Works perfectly. I also use the Lan mode and stream from my Windows 7 machine. 1080p .mkv movies are sometimes laggy, but sometimes they aren't. I think it differs from file to file because of its size and my local network isn't fast enough.
Did not play my mp4 version of a high res movie only really slow! Tried multiple settings and now I am back to mx

I'm using DICE + ES File Explorer to stream 720p videos on my Galaxy Tab and it works great. Can't wait to try the same combo with TF Prime
I also tried it on Prime and it works. Full HD sometimes still lags on wifi streaming (smb through ES explorer) but pausing for a minute sometimes help. The best player I tried, and I tried a lot of them.

I have found, at least with my media collection, that Diceplayer works better across all types of codec configurations.
I normally use BsPlayer, since it has built in samba client and therefore no need to use ex file explorer to start dice player. If BsPlayer does not cut it, then I switch to Diceplayer.
Mx video player does not currently decode all formats i hardware on the prime, so wait a little while with that.
I am finding the default video player after the ICS update to be quite capable. Haven't had to download any codecs, or anything.

Yes, I also have been impressed by the built in player but it has had problems with playing audio on many of my files.

I don't believe there are any of yet. I currently use Dice Player which has played 99% of my videos on HW. For the other 1%, MX Player seems to have the fastest SW decoder. I know Dice has a Tegra 2 plugin (tried it on my Prime to no avail). I wouldn't be surprised if we see Tegra 3 optimized decoding before long. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do, but since Tegra 3 is so new, there just haven't been any attempts yet.

I agree. The video playback is much better but do not have sound on many MKV 720p high profile. DICE Player is the best for me so far with BS Player second.

I find that the default ICS player is bugged out. Instead of a menu for play,pause and stuff it just shows colored squares (looks like my screen is melting form the inside out) and is obviously bugged out, it doesn't play half the stuff dice player does.
mx player has been treating me the best since I can select hardware or software for the video and the audio separately, allowing me to play 1080p videos and for those that the audio isn't working I can select software decoding of audio. Also MX player is so far the only player that has been handling multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks well.
@all
OK, sorry, I stand corrected. Just tried out an .mkv on the built-in player which gave no sound at all! Ugghh...
i no this is a bit random
does any one how i can open the default layer app without going through gallery, because am having problem finding my video files through the numerous files on the gallery, thanks

There are a few encoding settings with make problems (like 10bit) but overall i didn't found many h.264 mkv videos which are not playing.
if someone has the s3 already or is getting it tomorrow ( mine coming on Wednesday ) can you download or put a 1080p .mkv movie (7-12GB) on your phone or sd card and play it using stock player and dice player. can you see if it will play smoothly? any lags, audio issues.
i would love to see that test aswell,+ if it would be possible over MHL to TV.to see how much frames sg3 is doing while streaming 1080p to TV

Hi guys,
can sg3 play high profile 1080p h264 videos @ 40 mbs like tegra 3 does?sg2 does not....
Here http://www.dvdloc8.com/clip.php?movieid=13599&clipid=4 and http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/ (video 'birds') you can download and play stress videos with hardware accelerated video player like dice player, bs player , mx video player etc.
Furthermore , can you play a 1080p youtube flash video ( in browser, not using youtube app), does it stutter???

1080p file playing very smoothly with some ever so slight stutters(not irritating by any means) here and there, which I guess could be due to my awfully slow external sd-card). Didn't get any sound due to it containing only the trueHD soundtrack, so I'll try another file on the internal SD-card soon! Still 20% on the download to go. I also had a lot of apps open in the background which could affect the smoothness of the video(stock video player). Gonna try dice player now!
