I bought Asus transformer prime, but after week i noticed that video playing stops after 10 minutes (up to 30 minutes) stops, Player closes and return to file explorer. I tried many video player but there is still this problem. I tried es task manager to prevent auto closing, but without succcess.
Can anyone help me?
EDIT: I tried default settings, but the problem still exist
i have the same issue maybe tegra 3 not supported yet on video playback apps?
Countdown for demandarim to come here and cheer things up
Try MX Video Player, by far the best video player. Works great on the prime.
I have used my prime to play videos of varying length and have not had any problems. Are you streaming from YouTube or Netflix? Or your own video? I am using MX Video Player and have used MoboPlayer. No problems with either.

Try DicePlayer Ad. It supports SMB. It's much better than an external FileManager because they open a second http session for the videoplayer.
with mx video player on non HD videos this happens to me, with H/W videos is fine but with S/W it crashes..
It happens in every player in every video(on sd card or through streaming)
Use dice player. Simply THE best player.
I tried Dice player too... but it still happens.
I have the same problem. I have used the stock video player and MX video player. I have no problems playing streaming video from YouTube. Or Netflix. But when I try to play a video that I have saved on my internal memory, both players close randomly. It may be oneminute in or 5 minutes or 7 minutes. The player stops and closes back to the video menu. It seed to always happen when I am playing. Video I have ripped from a DVD. It has only happened once when I was playing a video that I recorded with the Prime or on my EVO. Welcome any suggestions

Have those with these issues noticed it across all updates? Of the system as well as the respective apps?
I haven't really tried video from the internal card... Better get to checking that >.>

Prior to yesterday's update I had played YouTube and Netflix and videos that I had taken with my Prime - all with no problem. I still seem to have problems with those formats. Unfortunately, today was the first time I have tried a video I ripped from a DVD. Several videos several attempts and they ALWAYS shut down before the video is finished playing. Unfortunately, Icannot comment on pre-.14 performance.
I haven't tested on any update other than .11 (I'm tired of using more battery than is necessary, I'm not moving off this update until I see a good reason... or get bored again ) but I'm so far 33:40 into a 1:28:05 movie and having no issues...

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?
What app are you using for playback? I had similar issue with MX Player but did not experience this issue with BS Player.

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
Is there a way to play movies that I have on my computer already on my prime? Is there an app that will play movies in any format with out converting them or do I have to convert the files?
Already answered your other thread. Try BSplayer
mechanism cancn
MX Player is also great.
to get to the files on your network share I like using es file explorer.. choose the file and then pick your video player. nice n easy.
mx player is good, but a lot of times uses software rendering. and more and more my videos would just stop and go back to the list screen.
I've switched to dice player and haven't had one that isn't using hardware rendering. and no closing out for no reason.
the main reason hardware rendering is going to be better is if you have it plugged into HDMI. software rendering still displays the video on-screen, draining more battery. whereas on hardware the screen is black and its only putting it out via HDMI.
UPNPlayer is a nice app to STREAM from your computer...

I can't echo my experience with MX Player. I have plenty of H.264 encoded mkv videos (High-Level Profile 4.0/4.1). MX Player for some strange reason hiccups with the sound and video when I start a video and then as I'm playing, will also skip randomly. I use Dice Player. Once BSPlayer modifies their app to "minimize" the action bar with dots like Dice and MX player can do, I'll switch to that, since Dice seems to cause random reboots at times.
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

Although I haven't watched any anime since I flashed ICS, my mx player has had no issues with any movies I've played. I'll download an anime movie and let you know.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache or even reinstalling?

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 have a Captivate and use MX Player to watch Game of Thrones. 720p with H/W Acceleration...click on the music note next to the H/W tanlb and you should find more audio options. Try some of those.

When ever I play a video on my phone at specific points videos artifact. It will always be the same point but not the same point in a video but different points for different videos. I have looked all over and have not found anyone with this issue for the EVO LTE. I am wondering what this could be. I have tried all that I could think of. I changed roms, video formats, video players. The videos work fine on my other devices and my PC.
Attached is a part of a video that artifacts. Any help would be appreciated
A list of what file types and players you are using on your device would be helpful...
.mv4 and .mp4
And every player I have tried does this.
Do these videos work on someone else's EVO LTE?
Do they work on another Android device (perhaps the OG EVO)?
Do you have a spare SD card you can copy the videos to, one that you have performed a fresh format on?
I recently got vlc for my phone and it plays the videos back just fine. VLC to the rescue yer again.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
use MX Player. its the best video player for the LTE that i have found so far, its made for phones with dual cores or more. used to use Vplayer but it didnt work well on this phone
I will try that out, VLC player is able to play this one video without problems but it will not play any 720p full length episodes. The video that works fine is short and it not 720p.
EDIT:
So apparently MX Player crashes at the exact same point that VLC does in the video, also MX player does not seem to run the video as smooth.
Using hardware decoding makes the video not run as smooth and crashes at that point. Software decoding is smoother and just artifacts at the point instead of crashing.
I found the issue. I had a bad USB hub. The videos play fine now.
I have found out no matter what rom i flash and with front viewing sensors off the video stock player continues to be choppy/skippy during video streaming play. Is this phone missing some kind of software codec? for being a new phone why is this an issue. I've downloaded Dice player which sometimes 85% of the time works while MX player usually works 90% percent of the time but both players do show some struggle at times. So anyone had this issue and figured it out ?or am i the only one with this issue? i do want to mention youtube play back works perfect with no hesitation its just when running streaming on video stock player. I'm running on firmware MJ4.
What sites for example?
With the information you've provided, I'd guess that it's a network speed issue. MX player works great but it needs data to play a video. The difference between the players might be the default cache size before playback resumes. I used to swear with dice but mx plays more codecs. Just my observations... I've paid for both programs but found more success with mx, especially with the variations of codecs under the avi file name extension. I have yet, to the best of my memory, found a codec that mx couldn't play. Dice, unfortunately being my first choice, had ran across quite a few video codecs it refused to play when mx played it with no problems. Having the arm 7 neo plugin helps too with mx and the n3.
Thanks for your observation and input I am using both players at the moment any ideas why stock player is not effective in playing? for in stance it's always choppy and skippy while while other phones play streaming fine on the same wifi connection

for example sites that stream video that don't have porn....can you even post links here that refer to other sites without getting moderated. Oh and I think you were trying to be funny btw so there's your funny answer.

Forgive me i'm actually the one out of line but its funny how the note 2 didnt have this problem when it came to video streaming i had it was maybe a configuration setting but i've looked at all the settings on the note3 with no solution to this so i wondering other were having the same problem and why Sprint has not addressed this issue with its stock player. So much money on this expensive phone and having an issue to something simple as the video player com'mon makes me wonder what other faults maybe present with this phone.
