I noticed the picture viewer will play m4v videos that I put on the device through USB, but not FLV videos. What video formats are supported?
Is there anything that will play .flv video files? Any recommendations for better video players?
Thanks
I just purchased KalemSoft Media Player from the App Catalog, the price a little high but it plays many more formats than the stock webos player. I am happy because it's playing my divx movies so it was worth the cost for me.
What formats is the stock software supposed to support?

[Q] Video: Streaming via SMB
Hello world
how can I do to watch movies on my touchpad streaming via SMB?
Are there any applications for it?
I thank you for your help
guys,
i need help to find out a good app to play .avi files on the touchpad ...
i tried installing Kalemplayer, it opens up the file and plays it but the screen is pretty messed up ..
i also did the touchplayer, but i cant seem to make it navigate to any of the file locations.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Stream Video
I would really like to have a good video player on my touchpad which could stream over my home network (samba). The best program I've seen so far is the one which comes with the Archos tablets.
What do you mean you cannot navigate using TP?
for some reason the kalem video player in preware is messed up, you can get a good copy by going to the kalemsoft website and downloading it from there, preware should install it when you try to open it.
http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/downloads2.html
it should be the link highlighted in red
Unable to install Kalem media player either. I was able to download it onto my touchpad but says 'Cannot open MIME type'.
Was one of the many that got it on sale and still pretty new to it. How do I get around this and get it on?
Try the touchplayer. It's back up on Preware.

When you install it, you have to make you are on 3.0.2. Also, your best bet, install Internalz Pro then install TouchPlayer, after they are installed reboot the device 2 times [for good measure]. They should install all dependencies that you will need.

I cant tell you a way to do it via SMB, but even if I could then you would need to start worrying about compatible codecs.
I would instead suggest Kalemsoft media player. It is seven bucks in the market or Free for the older version on their website.
If you download the server app, setup a DDNS account and forward the default kalem server ports you can stream your home moves to anywhere you have internet access.
If all you care about is streaming while at home, then I would use UPNP...

kalem soft works the best .. still no luck with touchplayer. thanks for the link duplissi
When you use Kalem, you're video isn't lagging at all?? I tried using Kalem and TouchPlayer. Honestly Kalem is better by far because at least it plays my video.... but otherwise, are those the only two video players out there ?
Hello,

Mx video player works with sd card and for streaming videos from your network. You need to add sdcard2 as one of the sources in settings. Hope it helps

You can try ES file explorer and tapping on the LAN tab. Then add the server you're trying to play the files from and you can then tap on a file to play and choose to open with moboplayer.
I am using MOBO player. It's working great. Free and easy to configure.

BS player has hardware acceleration and works great on Tablet S. I think it supports SD-cards, but not sure. The .srt subtitles work great though. It also has a function that searches subs for you online. No more searching!

I use a similar setup as you. For my file manager I use HD file explorer for honeycomb and set up my network through the lan connection. Then I play the videos through MX player and music through Mobo. Some videos play better than others depending on the format but for the most part it works well. What I like about HD file manager is you can access everything from your network drive and it easy to setup. I just wish there was a way to create a play list for music files from my NAS without transferring files to my SD card. Any ideas on this?
Try CineXplayer I have had any issues also locates files for u when opening so no need to manually find files. No ads full screen no stuttering videos. Good quality picks up where you leave off in videos if stopped while viewing when opened back up.
Yes mobo player is pretty sweet, free and clean looking a must download if u wanna watch movies n things.
MX player does both (SD card, SRT titles) flawlessly. So impressed I bought the ful version.
no stop in mxplayer?
How can you stop video from playing in Mxvideo?
I do not see any stop button?

just tap the screen and there should appear reverse, pause and forward. just press pause´. There is no actual stop button.
u can change that in the settings actually I believe (i.e. always show controls). Can't imagine why its necessary, you want full screen video normally don't you?
Strange. So when I start a 3 hour video and notice after 5 mins that I have seen it...I need to look it to the end as I can not stop it. I need to try mobo....

Does anyone know any Android music players that stream from FTP/HTTP(S)? The only ones I know are Dice Player and ES File Explorer. The former has no playlist capabilities whatsoever, while the latter's playback capabilities are fairly restricted and clunky.
I think bsplayer can too.

Thanks, I looked into it, and it seems it doesn't.
bump (too important a topic to let it sink)
Discovered one more that does ftp streaming, though as far as I can tell, it doesn't have much in the way of playlist capabilities: VLC for Android.
One more that does FTP streaming, and also has some playlist capabilities (not much though).
coconut music player
Though it lags a lot . even on my s4
XBMC for Android does it too, though it's way too clunky at the moment. My hopes are that the VLC people will eventually see the light...

Not really: Coconut does not do stream playback/streaming, but just downloads the track(s) and then starts playback. Nice try though
My FTP streaming findings.
Hi
I just found this thread so I thought I would resurrect it to see if the OP has found a solution?
My situation is I have an FTP server set up and I want to stream music to my S4. I have tested many players and the best I have found so far is MX Player as it has some buffering capabilities.
Trouble is that as MS Player has no inbuilt FTP support I have to open the file(s) using ES File explorer. Opening one file works a treat as you have the 'open as' option. But if you select multiple files you lose the open as option and ES File explorer defaults to using it's own media player which is some what lacking and has no inbuilt buffering capabilities. So when streaming in areas with poor reception the playback is jerky.
I tried using a playlist to get round this problem but MX player doesn't support them, anyway I am not sure that a playlist would work over FTP.
Player I have tried (that I can remember) are:
VLC - Works but no buffering (shame my favoured windows player)
ES Media player - can open multiple files in ES File explorer however no buffering.
Google media player - Same as VLC
XMBC Gotham nightly build - Couldn't find the FTP functions described in this post
FTP Media Player - disappointing and the title was so promising.
Also tried quite a few others all with the problem that you had to play through ES File Explorer and no buffering.
In short I am looking for a player that supports FTP and has buffering.
OR
A way to get ES File explorer to send multiple files to MX Player.
Cheers Dave

The solution I have found is to simply drop my quest for FTP streaming, and switch to HTTP(S) streaming. Better chances of finding a client-server pair. Currently using ServeStream for a client, and ServersUltimate for server. The latter is well worth the money, and then some.

Haven't tried this one recently. Did they build in any playlist capabilities in the meantime by any chance?

What player is that? Never heard of it. Link? Is that Google's Play Music by any chance? I remember trying that, but it wouldn't stream from FTP.

Dig a li'l deeper, and you'll find it. My issue was that it's too big and clunky. I need something much leaner, don't care much about all its myriad other features.

Switch to HTTPS streaming. My advice.

Have you tried assembling an .m3u playlist and feeding it to MXPlayer or ES File Explorer?
Thanks for the speedy reply
I already have a HTTPS setup as well. I am running Windows server 2008 R2 and have used the inbuilt server functions in that.
But while ok (only OK though not amazing) for windows to windows, it's no good for Android as it uses Silverlight to play the file, I was hoping something would come from the Moonlight devs but that seems to have died a death now MS are planning to ditch Silverlight in favour of HTML 5.
I will defiantly check out ServersUltimate.
I really setup my FTP server as a bit of an exercise to start with, and then got round to thinking it would be cool to stream my music collection on the move.
No it would seem that VLC still doesn't have playlist capabilities. In fact I didn't have any luck with M3U playlists at all. But I am thinking this maybe due to trying them from a remote location? I may give one a go from a local location just to test this out.
AS for the Google app yes I was talking about Play music, the standard player that gets shipped with the phone.
I too thought XMBC was a bit to much and ended up uninstalling it after my initial look around seemed fruitless.
Looks like I will be looking into HTTPS alternatives. Shame it felt so close as I actually had something working.
Cheers Dave
Alternatively
You should look into daap streaming instead. There are some free servers out there.
I've had a good experience with subsonic (subsonic dot org ) even though it's on the resource heavy end for my liking. It works better than any of the other alternatives I've tried.
Any news lately relevant to our HTTP(S) music streaming quest?
Hi all, I myself am looking for an FTP music streamer. Any new apps or updates on this subject?
Neutron Player for Android claims lots of support for network playing including CIFS/SMB and FTP. However I've never been able to get it to work. Give it a try, you may have better luck with it.
