Ok.. I tried searching for a answer but not coming up with good results..
basically I am running into a video that won't play and wonder if this is just not supported on ICS or if I need some kind of player.. I already downloaded MX player and it made no difference..
Does anyone know if it just requires some player or is it just not possible? In the right center of the below page I click the video to play it. I get a popup window and nothing.. I tried enabling popups but made no difference either.. Much appreciated if you could help out. Not the end of the world.. just a video I could not watch that I was hopeful for.

I think something's just wrong with that video clip. I can't view it on my desktop either.

cant you right click on the file and go to properties then go the one of the tabs and then click advanced and i think it tells you this stuff.
There is a thead somewhere on here where someone got the video playback quality that is in the Xperia. The CAB hasn't been released yet but when it does the Touch Pro will have the best video quality in the US. I can't do a search for it right now.

How will it do this?

just to clear things up before my 101 arrives in a few days : is the cinema plugin needed only for the mpeg2/ac3 5.1 combo or also for mpeg2 video in combination with some other type audio, and ac3 5.1 audio in combination with some other type video? in other words, is any of the two in a media file enough for the cinema plugin to be needed or do they both have to be present? h.264/ac3 5.1 combo works without the plugin? i guess not but i'd like to make certain...
thanks!

thanks for the answer!
now, i have several video clips with h.264/ac3 5.1 in an mkv container. i'm trying to transcode these clips into mkvs or mp4s with the same video stream (so, video direct stream copy) and transcoded audio to either ac3 2.0 or aac that archos supports without the cinema plugin. none of the transcoders i tried seemed to be able to do this: mediacoder, super, handbrake (i'm not even sure if handbrake supports direct video stream copy, i wasn't able to find it) - they all failed. has anyone tried to do this and can recommend a good transcoder? i don't want to re-encode the video, just the audio stream.
thanks!
try vlc, ok it's a bit complicated but it definitly supports reuse of streams on the fly.
and do not reencode to ac3, afaik ac3 is completely depending on the cinema plugin
You can also use rock player free, although it leaves buttons on edge

yes, i read that everything above 540p is choppy without hw accel on a101.
i used a workaround that works but it's not ideal: i demuxed the ac3 5.1 audio stream from the mkv and re-encoded it into aac, then remuxed it back into the mkv. this works but it would be nice to have a one-step process to do this. i'm not sure what goes wrong with all the transcoders if you use direct video stram copying, i must be doing something wrong ... i'll be grateful if someone has any ideas. oh, and i haven't tried vlc yet - didn't even know it features transcoding, too...
thanks!
...or i'll just buy the freaking cinema plugin, it's only 15€ after all ... it's just that i like fooling around with free tools before i buy something which is not necessary and is something which should've come free with the product imo... oh, well
cheers
You got two options:
a) transcode all your movies/videos and spend couple of hours fooling around (how much $$$ is an hour? )
b) spend 15$ and be happy with the best video player available on archos' android devices
Okay, I have to ask. Can someone give a link to where you can buy the cinema pack? I've been trying to find it at store.archos.com or whatever and I can't find it. And yes...I feel pretty stupid about it since it seems everyone else knows where to buy it.

You have to put in your product key and it should give you the option for the plugin.
Don't feel stupid; the Archos site is awful and half the links don't work right. The above link that blazingwolf posted should work. Note that when you do successfully purchase the pack, you will get a download link presented on the web page - that one does NOT work, or at least it didn't for me... it kept saying invalid product ID.
I had to use the link in the email they sent out after the order was completed. That one downloaded fine.

Thanks Wolf! Or is it Blazing? Either way, thanks. I'm tempted to get it, but on the flip side I'm not sure if I will keep the 101 or upgrade to the Xoom WiFi only tablet. I don't really NEED more than the 101, but you know...in reality I probably didn't even NEED the 101 to begin with. I'm kind of rambling...so I'll post now and put down the keyboard...

Use a desktop browser like Skyfire or Dolphin HD. You can find both browsers and more in market.

Here is two screenshots from Vudu watching a trailer with Skyfire Browser. One is showing fullscreen mode and one isn't. The trailers I watched played excellent with skyfire.
Yea im able to watch trailers too, but when i play the movie it just never loads it buffers and then just stays black. but the trailers play just fine. thanks for testing that out. im sure i might need some sort of flash hack at this point.
How do I stream content from my GS3 to my LG Tv using DLNA?
Do I need an App?
Or is there a setting I need to use?
All help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

I also have an LG TV and i didn't have to do anything, while playing a video or viewing a picture an icon shows up in the top left i believe when an external source is available to use.
If the LG and the phone are on the same wifi it should show up by itself and you hit the source button and select the tv... i dont have a pic of that source button because im at work, but it happened all on its own for me...
Wow thanks that worked for a video I recorded. I used it for a a few pics but they have to be taken with the phone with a certain orientation. Ho can I use it with YouTube and Netflix and or Vevo?

I took you suggestion and I am trying imediashare it has channels and one of them is YouTube and it works well. My TV does have DLNA and I think if I buy the imediashare paid version it will have the ability to stream internet as well in real time.

I'm thinking of try to do this, but curious how do you see this working? Playing videos on phone storage, like a standalone player? or browsing videos on the phone? or something else?
Let's be clear I can't write a netflix or amazon app or any other proprietary streaming service.

On the original Gear, i could simply transfer videos into the pictures folder on the Gear, they would show up in the Gallery, and then I could play them.
Very simple.
Thank you for considering giving this a try!

There is a video folder on the Gear S already we just have to have it connected to the computer in order to use it so if you could unhide it somehow or integrated it with gallery

That doesn't mean the Gear S can play videos?. I would think that the Gear would need a player of some type and maybe Flash or Java?.

I did take a video that I made and converted it to a 3GP format. Tried to send it to my watch using gear but gear didn't recognize the video so I emailed it to a buddy who in turn text me with the video as a attachment and you are right. it did play just fine on the Gear S.
If there was a App that could see the video files on the gear, I would assume that if it was saved in the 3gp format it would be able to play. not sure about other video formats, I could play around with it and see if it will play something other than the 3GP.

Ok I'm waiting for some feedback on my other app, so I'm gonna switch gears for a bit and explore the video aspects. I'll report back wehn I know something.
Update:
So this how far I got in a couple hours.
Can access Video Folder
Can definitely write a video app to list and play videos from the folder
can rotate video to landscape or play portrait(Haven't figured out fullscreen yet)
Play MP4 with issue, should play MKV as well.
Plays Audio
We should easily be able t browse files on the phone as well and autodownload.
I'll do some more testing of video capabilities. More info to come.
You can see a demo here

Now for the bad news, this type of app needs to go through the samsung app store and I'm still waiting on myb dev setup for this. As soon as I get set up I will clean this up and release it through samsung, but it may take a while
Fantastic!

That looks great! You mentioned in your post about Portrait/Landscape....... If you do develop this, please let us have the option of either.....I prefer portrait, simply because when the watch is on your wrist, the is the normal viewing angle.
Thank you so much!!!!!

The video player has been submitted to the app store. This version will be free with no restrictions. If I make a more advanced edition it will be a different app, so you can continue to enjoy the free edition.
Now we're just waiting on Samsung......

Yeah this is my first attempt at submitting to Samsung. I have not idea how long it takes or how often they reject apps and for what reasons. We'll see.
This one is pretty simple so hopefully it won't take too many go arounds.
I was surprised to find my app works just as well on my gear 2.

If they say no(I can't imagine why) I will post the code. The app has moved to the next step in their process. Still no idea how much longer it will take.
Update: It has moved one step further in the process. it is now in "Under test verification"
