This issue spans across different formats, of varying quality and occurs in all video players I have tried (including MX Player). About 90% of the videos I play, I seem unable to skip through - it won't skip to whichever part I chose on the playback bar, instead just skipping forward a couple of seconds.
The issue doesn't seem to occur using the beta VLC player, but this isn't helpful as VLC is useless in it's current state.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers!
...no one has this problem? Surely I can't have a faulty TP, with the only faulty being video playback?

My first tablet...
Can anyone suggest a video player that will let me change subtitles and audio tracks and will also play most formats.
thanks.
pre shee ate it.
Of the several players I've tried, MX video player seems to handle dual audio / multiple subtitle videos the best out of the lot. Particularly in allowing you to use hardware acceleration for the video while using software acceleration for the audio, thus fixing problems with some videos.
The Prime with ICS handles a rather large number of video formats and containers natively, all the way up to 1080p without much issue at all. Only a couple of the more exotic formats really need software support.
Dice is the best but impossible to get. Otherwise MX is very good.
BS player is also very nice.
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...
Hi y'all
I dont know if my transformer is hard ware damaged or if i have a software problem.
Problem description:
I just exchanged my transformer prime for a replacement unit since the HDMI was broken on my old unit.
I reinstalled MX player and started playing a video (H264) and it keeps crashing. The player will kill itself and once, it even went into a weird stripe crash and had to be hard rebooted. I uninstalled the codec pack for MX player, did it on software encoding, no hard crash, but MX player keeps dying.
I tried vplayer, which doesnt seem to crash but the audio/video sync is off. Now I cant remember having this problem on my old unit.
I then proceeded to download the glowball demo to 'tickle' the tegra cores, in case its a cpu/gpu issue, and that worked fine without crashing.
unrooted, locked bootloader with all software updates from Asus.
i am out of ideas, any pointers what could be wrong / how i can locate the issue?
cheers

I have similar problem with u on the video playback, however I manage to play MP4 and MKV files without crash.
MV Player stops when I play any rmvb files which is quite annoying as most of my video are rmvb.
I wonder if it crashes the codec when we try installing different Video players.
saw a new video player on the forum and gonna try it tonight ~ hope this will work~

lets keep talking about this issue and I believe some other users have the similar issue too...
wow VLC build for ARM, impressive
What REALLY is annoying that i get a "not supported" from the stock player. How come the standard Android 4 player does not know the h264 codec ?
Did it work?
Try moboplayer out too and see if that is any different.

I will next, cheers
I just tried the VLC port. it does the same thing of crashing (but its alpha, so hey )
edit:
just tried a xvid file with moboplayer, same crash
all the apps just stop playing the video and return to video select screen
i have seen a couple of Tegra 2 optimized players, nothing for tegra 3 yet?
edit 2:
mx player has an experimental build where you can increase the cores to 4 for sw decoding, havent tried that yet
cheers

I have the same on Tegra 3 - tried MX player, MX player with ARM 7 codec, Mobo player - they just kill themselves during the playback....
Will try more players, not sure if that will help at all...
Dice player seems to have the best interface other then mx.
But no crashes and everything runs with hardware decoding that I've tried.
I too am am having lots of mx player crashes after the jellybean update on my stock uprooted transformer prime. The stock player also crashes.... This never happened on ice cream sandwich. Anyone fi d a solution to make video playback more stable?
Try S/W decoder.
I had a similar problem just a few minutes ago. I deactivated H/W+ decoder and it worked perfectly.
Sometimes, hardware can't play everything. You should try and play these videos with S/W decoder.
I might be wrong. I just said what helped me.
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.
Was going to see if I had the same problems. Just got mine yesterday. That was all.

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.
