Hi guys,
Hoping someone here can help. I like the idea of using the watch app widget to store my 3d content for ease of playback.
Now when i watch the green hornet in 3d through the watch app it plays in 3d wonderfully.
So i have moved some of my 3d movies to the 'htc watch' 'preloads' folder to take advantage of the widget. I can see the thumbnails and i can play the movies. However, for some reason it is playing them side by side instead of 3d.
So i presume it is not using the built in player but instead another one, maybe es movie player? I presume this because When the movie is running and i try hitting the menu button nothing happens.
So my questions are
1) is it possible to make the watch app default to using the inbuilt player.
or
2) is there away i can tag the movie so that whichever player watch is using it plays the 3d movie in 3d the way it does with the green hornet?
Thanks.

Sometimes when you go to play certain media and there are more than one program that will use it, the OS will ask you which one do you want to use. If not maybe you have set the other one to be the default.
If you go to the APPS section in the settings menu and you find the default app that opens when you play that type of file, you can probably clear the defaults and that should let you choose next time you open that file type.

That was what i was looking for thanks. Unfortunately it is saying there are no defaults. Maybe the watch app is its own player?
Any other ideas?
Someone in another thread mentioned that you could alter the name of the saved file to get the player to play it in 3d but then never said what to change it too.
have you tried hitting menu then select Watch in 3D?

You need to go to the app it's using in the application manager, then scroll down and hit "clear defaults". Then the next time it will have the pop up box.

Has anyone figured out how to format the 3D Movies for the EVO 3D?
How about get the movie to start in the 3D mode on the Media Player?
The Evo plays mpeg4 in 3d I believe. But heres a thread about converting videos.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140313
And if you want to play it in 3d you just need to hit the 3D button on the top right corner I think. Sorry its been a while that I used 3D.

Yes, I know how to do it by pressing the 3D button, but is there a way using some coding to get it to auto open in the 3D?
hey guys, i have a question, im looking for somebody to watch this video i converted to 3d and see if it works right or if it needs tweaking....can yas help? lol (i dont have 3d device)
I'll try. Upload it to youtube or just send me a link.
Search wondershare in forums, it does basic converting as well as converting videos to play 3d, it worked very well for me.

does it encode the 3d flag for instant 3d recognition from the 3vo? I've noticed allot of downloadable 3d is top and bottom, the 3vo will play with the flag but wont without it

As sleekgreek said, it's to do with the tags in the mp4 file.
the framepacking tag needs to be set to 3 for SBS L&R movies. it's either 4 or 5 for top and bottom, but i can't remember for certain.
You can use videolan's X.264 encoder to do that. but that only puts out H.264 video, so you'd need to then use something else to do your audio and then combine them again into one mp4 container.
the command for x.264 is:
Code:
x264 --frame-packing 3 -o [Input].mp4 [Output].mp4
but like i said, this is video only, so remember to use whatever other tools you use to encode the audio and then recombine.
handbrake

Using handbrake: use x264 codec, go to "advanced" tab and add
":frame-packing=3"
without quotes into the command box at the bottom. For the other setting just try what best suits your needs.
The file must be .mp4 (just rename) in order to have the 3d/2d switch, this way you can see 2d in right way!
Hit thanks if you've found this useful.

3d movies not playing in 3D
I'm Hoping someone can help me out here. I've downlaoded some movies from sick-flix and copied them to my sd card. Great!!
They are in .mp4 format and when i go and play them from the gallery they play as 2 side by side videos. Great!!!
So I press the options button and tell it to play in 3D, click OK and it doesn't switch. Not So Great!!!
I have a rogers 3d evo S-OFF and rooted. it shouldn't really matter, i think.
What am i missing? Please help

You are correct, it is not so Great! You followed the correct method for it to work. Is it on all of the 3D movies or just the one? Also, have you tried one of the sick-flix remastered yet? Those should open in 3D automatically.
it works!!

Well after restarting my phone for the 4th time I am finally able to see 3d movies Properly. Couldn't tell you what happened but it's working beautifully now.
3d movies evo 3d
The Green Hornet, Coraline, Pirates Of The Carribean 4, Monsters VS Aliens, Resident Evil 4, The Lion King, X-Men First Class, and a collection of looney tunes clips, all in superb side byside 3d, some have ore 2depth than others, but WOW, This phone Rocks
to play the movies, open them with "view video" then when they play side by side, press menu, soft key, then play in 3d , sorted
Pb with SBS in WMV format
I have a WMV SBS movie and when I try to play it, it stays in 2 frame (left and Right).

On my E3D I used to use MXplayer and UPnP browser to play videos off of a TVersity setup. TVersity is great, I use it to stream movies to all of the devices in my home.
Just share the folder with movies on your desktop. use esfile explorer to find the shares. just swipe to the net tab, add new, scan. find your pc and hit the file you want to watch. if your movie isn't mp4 you can use mono or vplayer to watch with out converting

This is much cleaner than my setup. I'll have to try this out.
Nevermind got it working
It seems to stutter on playback. Only .mp4 file I had to try was a 4GB 1080p movie so that might be the problem.
New issue didn't want to start another thread. Whenever I get a notification (like facebook or something non text message) I can pull down the notification bar from the lockscreen (standard One no pin/patteren) but when I click on the notification it doesnt go to the app. I still have to unlock the phone. After that the app is open already

Make sure hardware decoding its off. Seems the lte doesn't do that well

How do I turn that off?
I am getting really frustrated with trying to get to the ringtone trimmer. I have searched and found several posts around the internet on getting to it via the music app. However, I cannot get to it on my phone it seems. If I start the music app itself, it doesn't show any music files. I tried doing a search for the file but it won't find it. I can't find an option in music to scan my phone for all music files either. If I go through root explorer and play it that way, the music popup player plays the file but there is no menu or options to set it as a ringtone, let alone trim it. It also doesn't add the file to the recently played list so I can'g get to it through the music app after playing it.
This has me really frustrated and I'm about ready to throw this phone through the wall. I found the HTC user manual telling how to do it, but guess what. IT DOESN'T WORK!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?
*If your response is to use a 3rd party app, don't bother replying. I want to find out how to use the tools included with the phone.*

I think this is what you're looking for but if not I apologize...this is what worked for me.
1. Open the HTC music app and start playing a song.
2. Once on the now playing screen, select the button with 3 dots about halfway down on right hand side.
3. Select "set as ringtone" option
4. Select trim ringtone
Good luck!

Maybe that is the problem. The only music app I have is called Music, not HTC music. I am running the latest stock deoxed Rom. It might have been removed.

If I open the music folder, I can do the same thing suggested above. Works for me but I'm not rooted. I also used quickshortcut maker (available in the market) which helps to locate the hidden HTC apps. I was able to find ringtone trimmer with this, although Im not sure where this app comes from, but it is not in my app drawer. Hope this helps.

Music app seems to find all the mp3 files, when the phone boots. I have had to clear its data, if I delete folders containing mp3s. Try restarting the phone, and see of the mp3, you're trying to trim, shows in the Music app.

Hi Folks,
This is really got me
I've come from a HTC M7 to a Oneplus 3. The in-browser video on the HTC M7 was great - you were able to control brightness, control the sound and search through the video all via screen gestures. Since moving to the OP3 it has a standard video player that has none of those features. You have to use the old school controls of the video menu bar - there's no gesture control.
I've downloaded MX and VLC but they're only good as standalone players - to play stored content.
It loads the same player on both browsers, Chrome and Dolphin... and it loads the same video player on the HTC :good: and the same player on the OP3
I've tried resetting default apps. I've looked in the App settings but I can't work what app it is that's streams within the browser? Is it part of the OS?
Thank you in advance!
The only thing I've found on this... If you're watching in Firefox, you can tap on the video and it gives you the option to watch it on MX Player... but there's no way to set this as a default?

There's no stock video player listed under apps, well there is, but that's for stand alone saved videos. I got in touch with Oneplus today and they said there's no option to choose within the browser... The guy said that I should suggest it for an update, which I did.
Firefox does let you press on the video and choose to open it in MX, but there's no way to set that as a default... Has to be done each time - bit of a pain.
