We still can't watch rented Google Movies over HDMI?
Audio comes thru to the TV and youtube, other videos, games, etc work fine.
Anyone able to watch Google Movies over HDMI?
google movies aren't high resolution anyway, right? I've watched in browser and I think it was 480p, not too good on a hd tv..
I put a bunch of videos on my new MicroSD that I got in the mail yesterday, and while all of them will run in Moboplayer (except for American Psycho which is in AVCHD in a .m2ts container), they all seem to stutter a bit.
So, I was wondering what is the most reliable video codec and container for the NT?
It says that it supports:
3GP, 3G2, MP4, M4V, MKV, WEBM, H.264 (Baseline/Main/High profile) up to 1920x1080, MPEG-4 Simple/Advanced Simple profile up to 1920x1080, & H.263

but H.264 seems to stop running every few seconds for me.
Quick edit: Just finished uploading an MKV file and it seems to be the best so far, although the subtitles are coming up even though I disabled them in Moboplayer.
Any other recommended video players perhaps?
i use mx video player personally
yea mx video player is most smooth IMO. If available SW Fast decoding provides best playback of HD files 720p or 1080p. Of course it drains more battery so yeah...
Just installed it and it's running much better than Mobo was for me, thanks you guys.
Any time. Btw handbrake is a great way to convert your dvd's to mkv or mpeg4 format. Blurays will be too large to play,but most dvd,s will be about 700meg. I also use anydvdhd to strip the drm. On the computer i also use media browser for listing the movies. Bluray dvd's i have are played with media player classic hd with shark 007 codec pack
I grabbed 2 Youtube music videos - one 720p and one 1080p - both mp4 files. They work with no issues with the B&N video player but mx video player installed from the market wont play them. I don't get any errors or warnings its just stuck there at 00:00 with no movement and a black screen with the video controls - all i can do is exit. If I am to install one of the codec packs from the market - arm6/7 etc - which one should it be? Not sure what the processor is!

I think its ARM7 you want to get.
Also, mp4 is only a container filetype. The codec used for compression is also important, for example HuffyUV, H264, X263.
yea i have a video thats an avi but it closes out any media player right away...just opens the player then closes lol

i have an avi on my NT and it loads fine. i think the previous poster was right about the codec. the codec is more important than the container. you might want to email the developers who made mx video player and ask them about it.
I need to run g-spot on it, it might have a weird codec or something
Been using Mx Video and it has worked with every video that I have thrown at it.
h264 codec is hardware accelerated in MX Video player. Even FullHD videos are played smoothly.
What container are you using? I can't get HW acceleration to work for any h.264 files in mkv, mp4, mov, or m4v. I use MX player and it kicks over to the SW decoder every time.
Here are my discoveries about HW video decoding in MX Player:
1. originally I uploaded some 1.5 gig MKV file downloaded from the web to SD card and tried to play it, but nothing happened - MX played it in SW mode.
2. Then, I created/converted some small video to MP4 (H.264 and AAC) and tried playing it with MX - and it worked fine
3. Strangely, but after playing hand-converted video MX started to play MKV, but with glitches...
So I think MX has some bugs when run on NT or it is not fully compatible with NT.
EDIT: ArcSoft Media Converter was used...
I am playing mms streams from the web using Daroon Player. It is free and works fine.
But I also want to throw these streams to my TV (wdtvlive)
Daroon Player does not seem to be capable of throwing video anywhere.
Standard Sony Video Player can throw video. But it does not read mms streams from the web.
I tried several other media players from the Android Market like Mobo and VPlayer but they don't seem to work with mms either.
Any suggestions of a good free or paid media player that would handle both?
I want to download videos from Amazon to view when I don't have wifi access. I used Amazon unbox and downloaded the wmv file. The file plays just fine on my desktop computer, but won't play on the Prime...even though other (non-Amazon) wmv files will play). I tried Dice Player, BS Player and MX player...none would play the wmv file even though they support the format. I tried to find a program to convert the wmv to MP4 format using VLC Media Player, but it won't even play the video, let alone convert it. When I try to play, I just get splotches of color. I also tried other video converters like HandBrake...none would work. Either they wouldn't recognize the video or they just produced the splotches of color output. I did find DRM Media Converter which will convert the video to MP4 and that will play on the Prime, but the downside is it costs about $40. Before I buy the program, I was wondering if anyone has found a FREE video converter that will convert Amazon videos?? Or is there a video player app that will play Amazon wmv files without conversion?? Thanks
I'd also love to know this one. Amazon Prime would be a nice replacement for not being able to watch Google Play movies with a rooted device...

This is most likely because of the DRM that Amazon is required to implement in order to offer the media electronically.
Bump--anyone tried this, and if so did it work?
How could I use mx player or supervideo to stream movies from my computer to my s3 with allshare?
