I'm trying to watch avi videos that ive downloaded and everytime i try to skip ahead or back in the video, the progress bar will move with my finger, and then when i let go it just goes back to wherever it was. so i can only watch the movie from start to finish, which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't keep kicking me out of the app every 15 or 20 minutes. so i'll get 15 minutes through the movie, then the app (in this case mxvideo or vplayerr) will force close and then when i go back to open it again and watch the movie, i have to start from the start, no skipping back to where i was. also my stock video player wont even play these avi files. and it's nothing wierd, just tin tin andsome other movies for my son. anyone know a way around this or even experienced this?
I've never experienced that and I use MX to watch Avi's all the time. I also use it over the network with ES Explorer. Maybe check your files and play with the settings in MX.

Dice Player is "the best" for the prime. Everything plays with hardware rendering. And it doesnt just boot back to the movie list every 5-20 minutes.
Dice Player=no more issues.

I have movies in AVI on a HDD...i dragged a few into the Movie folder i made in the GTab. I downloaded the MX Media Player...which they claim is the best. No movies play. Anyone know why? Ive tried and tried. I have VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1. Qorks fine i like it. No real need to upgrade so far.
I have videos from youtube that i converted to i think AVI..they all play well thru MX. But not Full movies. Really weird.
Actually, I use Mobi player, Ill have to confirm the name when I get home today, but its been able to play everything Mk hasn't including the .mkv files I tried to play.
But its weird tho. Because all the youtube videos that i converted to AVI....they play fine. My movies are in AVI also..so i can't see why its not playing.
Ill try what you said also. Still experimenting with everything. Thanks for the reply.
Hey I think its actually Mobo instead of Mobi, also they just did an update.
Yea lol. I was searching Mobi for about 1 minute...then saw Mobo at the bottom. Gonna try that today. Sounds like its very good. Ill let you know how that works.
But strange...ill plug my GTab in the PC...and drag the movie in the movies folder...takes about 10 min for a 700-800 MB movie. But when it gets in there...ill see it in my SD card as 700MB..but when i click it to play it in MX...it'll say 17:00 for the time...and won't play. But its showing as a 1 hour or so movie in the Internal SD.
How did Mobo work for ya?
Man..i didnt try it yet. I been busy looking all over the net for the apps that comes up as "Not Compatible" in the Market. Found alot. But not my number 1 favorite app. "Spades Free" by AI Factory Limited. Can't get it nowhere.
I will try out that Mobo for sure. And ill let you know. Will do it tonight.
Did you also download the add on for the Mx player. I have the mx player and the mx video codec armv7 and I played an avi of green lantern, just fine.

I DID download the add on. It ask me for it before i could go on. It plays the AVI that i converted from youtube vids. But my movie...The Warriors....its about 700MB..i moved it to my SD card of the GTab...just like those other vids....wont play. Looks like its showing 17:00 min...but its actually a 1 hour 30 something min movie.
Weird...still havent tried the Mobo yet...been lazy lol. Gonna try for sure today.
OK how bout decoder settings, I have mine set at sw since hw doesn't work on this rom. When I first tried hw. Was set and it was all messed up til I switched and restarted the movie.

hmm..ill look at that. BUT..why would the youtube videos work? I converted with youtube to AVI. So its AVI also..just shorter then the movie. I doubt the length of the movie made it do that.
Plus..when i dragged the movie file into the SD card....took like 10 min...so i know it was the whole movie. When i look at the movie when its sitting in the movie folder in the SD card...it shows 1 hour and 34 minutes..but when i click the MX Player to see it..it shows 17:00. Im like what the hell. I gotta figure this out.
I agree want to figure it out as well just in case I ever run into it. I know I have my movie sitting on the micosd card, also an idea that popped into my head try transferring a different movie, could be something happened during transfer that it didn't all make it, making it only 17 min

"AVI" is too vague of a description. that is merely a container format, there are dozens of codecs that could be found inside.
Ill look into that. don't see why i would need to. Only because all my short AVI converted youtube stuff played. I mean....why would they play and not the movie? There both AVI...you know. Still havent tried it again yet. been playing around with the GTab too much lol. Adding stuff.
Didnt play in Mobo either. Did the same thing it did in MX Player. When i click the movie...goes straight back to the SD card..wont play it. Shows 12:34:56 as the time. But the full 701MB. And YES...the whole movie is on there. Im gonna freak out if i dont figure out why its doing this.
Don't really care if movies play on here..but i know it should. So its trippin' me out.
Edit: Just downloaded QQ Player. The only player so far that my movies time shows up in full..1 hour and 43 minutes. I thought it was gonna play...nope...1 second then back to the SD card. Dont know what the hell is wrong.
Edit 2: I just changed the Decoder Mode in QQ Player to "QQ Player" Decoder mode. NOW the movie is playing. BUT...its moving really fast. A little too fast. But its playing. The subtitles are ahead of the movie. And the movie itself is playing like its on 2x speed.
I realized that on the market there is mobo player and mobo video player, which one did u try, cause my tab is using video player
I forgot which one it was. It worked for my short AVI stuff. But did the same for my movie.
But QQ Player fixed it. QQ plays fine now. Maybe i thought it was going fast for a second. Plays perfect. If you read up about it...plays all of the movie extentions. So far....QQ is my player. I deleted Mobo but kept MX.
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
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...
Greetings from Portugal.
Before I start, yes, I have tried searching for it. Found a couple of old threads that didn't help much...
My question is: Is there a way to watch any video format without it stopping every few minutes?
If I use the stock player everything is fine, but it cannot support several video formats like avi, rmvb... etc. I use the MX player, but on some types of video, it stopps every few minutes. It's sooooo annoying!
From what i've seen in some threads, it happens with other video apps too. AND, when i am watching something directly from the internet, like fastpasstv, the video stops loading also every few minutes. I have to restart the loading from the middle... not hard, but also annoying. (using stock browser, and this doesn't happen on youtube for example)
Is the issue related? Since it seems to be happening to both online and offline video viewing...
I am stock, non-rooted, and non-unlocked... Wifi is fine.
I have the same problem. But it is a MX Player specific one for me. BS Player works fine (but has other issues).
Edit: I tried with the 'Performance Mode' and it works so far. Maybe a workaround?
I never have this problem when streaming one of many video formats from my PC to my Prime using ES File Manager to find the video files on my PC and MX to play them as streams.
Is this something that you tend to experience with streams/videos being played directly on the Prime?
For me it is locally played .ts videos.
Meanwhile I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/mx-videoplayer/browse_thread/thread/533d7296c0305183
It might be a Prime/ICS problem. There seems to be no solution up to now.
I get this same issue trying to stream video from sites other than youtube. It is when I'm streaming that I get most of the lock ups with the prime, reboots, etc. Maybe it is something to do with the allotted cache size of the browser being used up and cleared to make room for more buffered video?
It is rather annoying. You basically have to let it load and watch the whole thing as it goes. If I hit pause or so anything else then it risks stopping the stream where ever its at in the buffering. It's nice to have it start loading up, hitting pause, and walking away for a few minutes to let it buffer up. But then when I come back it would have just stopped about a 1/3 into it or 1/2 way. It would require hitting the reload button at the top or having to close the browser, kill it in the task manager, and then reopen it.
I don't have this issue with Netflix though. They did something right in their app.
I used to have this issue with mx player. It really sucked having to restart a movie every 5-10 minutes.
You want to use Dice Player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. All in Hardware rendering so the screen goes blank when plugged into HDMI.
Haven't had any issues since. I'm using the paid version, I assume they are both alright though.
So my prime has done this as long as I've had it. Ill put a video on my prime [to my knowledge usually.avi ] and I cant open it with stock vplayer but I've got all the free ones and they open up just fine. Here's where the problem starts. I can't skip ahead usually more then 10 seconds or so. No matter how far I drag the progressbar it will only skip ahead a few seconds. It does this no matter what the video player I use. And now I'm trying to watch john Carter and it will only go about 12minutes and then just stop. Anyone experienced anything like this?
Nothing quite that bad but I did have a few of the video players just stop playing randomly taking me back to the list screen every 10 minutes or so.
Uninstall all the video players you tried and try out dice player,get the tegra2 codecs /plugin as well.
