Hi everybody, i have a problem.. i was using aokp build 38 and it gave me alot of random bootloops so i switched to the newest OAT.. now i have a problem with streaming mp4 videos online. On websites such as m.worldstarhiphop.com thats the mobile version, it works better. But now it asks me to download the video instead of streaming it. How can i fix this? Help please!
Do you have the stock video player installed? Try installing ES File Explorer and MX Video player. The next time you click a link it should ask which one to open it in, those can both stream videos.

Okay guys, I don't know how many of u came from an epic to photon, but for those of u that did, I'm sure u noticed the stock video player sucks. If there anyway we could add the ability to play mkv files or any other format? The video plays but there's no sound....any ideas?

I've been using MX Video Player from the market lately. It seems to support a lot of formats that the stock player does not.
Hi, first time android owner so just figuring things out. I downloaded mobo player and it works great and it allows me to play different video formats. I end up downloading movies and tv shows in flv format and copy them to my phone and it wokrs great. The built in player would not allow me to play them. I believe Mobo claime to play all video formats.
Try it out and let us know. And btw...sorry but i don't know what an mkv file is. I will google it though...peaceout!
thanks for the suggestions guys, i was looking to just stick to the stock video player, but i don't think that's gonna happen, mkv is just another file type, just like avi, mp4, just another video type. I downloaded Vplayer and that works fine for all video types, I just hate having multiple apps for one thing....I guess maybe i just got used to the epic stock video player. Well anyway thanks again, in case anyone else needs a suggestion on video players, Vplayer is good, but not a freeware. If you don't mind supporting the devs who make this stuff i recommend it.
Weather Channel Codecs for Photon
I downloaded The Weather Channel app, but the videos on it won't work like all the other videos I just spent three days trying to find the right codec info for. Is there ANYTHING I can download that will make them work since converting them isn't an option?
Here's what I have:
Stock Android
System Version: 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build Number: 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
Many thanks to anyone who can assist.
I have a problem with playing video content on my Prime. i use the ES File Manager and MX Video player Pro. all the time the video launches fine and closes on its own after several seconds. this happens using video content with different codec. i actualy have 2 Primes and i have the same issue on both of them...is there any ideas what could be wrong?
i will try other players to see the differences.
any feedback is welcomed.
I use the stock File Manager, it does everything I need it to, so I haven't downloaded any other file managing app. Is there something the stock one lacks that I can gain by using ES or any other app?
As for video playback problem, I used to use MX Video Player and it worked for a couple days then started force crashing like you said. I rebooted, but that didn't alleviate the problem, so I just uninstalled and downloaded Dice Player. It's been working great for me and I watch a few TV episodes and movies a day. Give it a try I'd rate it at least a 4.5/5.

the ES manager is working fine and i prefer it because all my video, music, docs libraries are on my NAS.
i will definitively try the Dice Player as i heard its good from other sources as well.
thanks for feedback.
The DicePlayer worked fine for me. Hope the MX video player pro will get fixed
Thanks mate.

I use ES File Explorer (to view my shares on my network) and MX Video Player Pro. They work good together and I have not had an issue. Are you using the free MX video or paid version?
Hi guys,
I am having issue streaming MKV files off a Windows share from my S3.
I am using DicePlayer, and even tried other ones (MX, VLC beta and other ones ...).
The application will be buffering and then go back to the file browser.
I was using the exact same technic with my S2 and it worked just fine.
I am using the stock Samsung ROM, rooted.
Have you guys tried that at all?
I haven't tried to store the mkv on the SD/internalSD storage yet but that would defeat the purpose ...
Thanks !
Hey Guys,
I'm having a problem that it seems that no one else is having. When I'm trying to play videos on my tablet, no matter which way I encode an mp4 or an m4v file, all video player come up with "cannot play video" or "invalid url". I have tried a number of different setting on handbrake and come up with the same result everytime. I have tried disabling the mobile bravia engine but this didn't help either. Please help!
Thanks!
Use a different movie player such as mx player
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
I tried MX player (both free and pro) but it doesn't seem to work still. Btw the videos do play on other tablets with MX player.
hi...i have rooted my phone and after rooting when i try playing a video from the gallery or from es explorer the video player says the video can't be played? i have tried downloading mx player also but of no use. please help
The video file could be corrupt.... You can't play any video or just the one...?
