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

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.

Alright so i am downloading youtube videos thru an app in my Streak. And the format is either in .flv or .mp4. I tried a few video players like Rock Player etc. Some couldnt even play them. Rock Player was able to play it with huge lags and only in software encoding mode. Hardware encoding wont let me play the video.
So any advice guys? Which video players do you use?
VitalPlayer
Tried VitalPlayer. It plays the videos for 1 secs and then go back to the main vitalplayer screen. Maybe the stock sdcard isnt fast enough...
VitalPlayer is the best I've seen so far...
What app are you using to download the videos? It could be doing a really bad encode. I would imagine that the youtube player should be able to play those videos if nothing else. Have you tried going into the file manager then playing them with the youtube player?
I like rockplayer.

Used Rockplayer but have now gone onto Vitalplayer it seems to play a bit smoother
with vplayer in 1.5.2 i was able to see all videos also from fb, on the 1.6.0 the vplayer crash on starting the app.
i tried vitaplayer and rockplayer, they works but cant see all the videos from fb, only some and only with rockplayer.....
Very disappointed with RockPlayer - same videos that play super smooth on VitalPlayer, lag as hell on Rockplayer.
For me - Vital Player wins for now
I`m on 318 stock.
Mp4 films go straight into the gallery and the stock player is perfect, every single other player ive used goes out of sync or glitchy, i recommend a korean app, search the market for avi, and its a blue film reel, you cant understand the settings(unless you know.korean) but its perfect for divx, avi, flv, mkv, everything ive come across

I've been happy with QQPlayer.
And I with Act 1 Video Player ! The most full-featured player for video media on your sdcard! Lots of unique features.
I've been using Rockplayer and that lagged with a few videos. Just tried Vitalplayer and it plays the same videos without any perceivable lag.
Is there any video player with HDMI support for Streak except the stock Gallery player which plays limited formats?
I felt "arcMedia" is a pretty good player!!
i like qqplayer,doubletwist,and mvideo player
use astro file to move videos around if need to

I use tubemate, save, then playback on mVideoPlayer while at the gym.
I also watch my regular movies on my Streak.
I use mVideoPlayer. It is my favorite. It allows playback in either landscape or portrait. It's perfect for playing music mix videos in the car.
The swipe is very intuitive. No need or further looking IMO.
I have tried many (ArcMedia, Rock Player, Movies, ESplayer) and I can tell you that VitalPlayer is the ONLY one that will play .wmv files on my Dell Streak running Froyo !!
Awesome player
im having problems locating any video player that will play a movie i have on my tablet, its mp4, the thing is im running starburst uekmb rom and i know i was able to pkay this movie with the stock rom... I dont want to go back to stock just to play a simple video... But any and all video players in the market just refuse to play it just like the galery and built in video player, others are out of sync with the sound, and the ones that arent out of sync play te video in spurts, so the screen looks like its glitching out.
So is there a way to fix this, a video player that will work with my device or some sort of codec thing like in windows to make the built in player play almost anything?
Get diceplayer from the market.

i prefer moboplayer, but it still can't play all the videos, i use a video tool introduced by Foxreal to deal with videos that can't be supported, the result is just what i expect
Guys,
I download music videos from YouTube in MP4 format but when I put in the Sony Tablet, some music videos were unable to play.
Anyone know whether what is the problem and any workaround solution?
Try mobo player. Works well with my divx files, should work for you.

Issue: When using allshare or skifta the native player says it cannot play my mkv's avi's that ive tried to play, they use h264 or xvid codecs so i dont see why the stock player cannot play them as i read in other posts that videos of these form can be played on the stock player. I connect to these videos via PS3-Media-Server for windows and sometimes wonder why it can't just stream it to my mobile like how it does for the ps3.
Also with skifta is there a app player that can play mkv's with soft subs? Ive tried mvideo and rock but they either stutter have HUGE colour artefacts or wont load the subtitles.

Are you trying to stream to your phone using the ps3 media server remote device using Allshare? That doesn't work for me, but if you enable media sharing in windows media player and access your files through the windows remote device in allshare that should work fine, (Open media player, switch to library, and enable the options under 'stream').
Alternatively download and install UPnPlay and MX Video Player from the Play store. If all your devices are on the same home network (local) and you have enabled media sharing / shared folders you can simple browse for the file using UPnPlay and play using MX Video Player, which also plays subs! This combination will play most things you throw at it, make sure you render to your device when playing, if you try rendering to a dlna enabled tv or something else etc you may get a 'file format unsupported' error.
Hope this helps. If you need any more help just drop a comment
I tried skifta with mxplayer and after a veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long wait it worked (had to enable subtitles myself but its no big deal). Is it normal to have that wait? is it different with unpnplay?
Thanks for recomendding MX player its sooo much better ill thank you once everything works out!

Give Unpplay a shot, it's free so you've got nothing to loose, and no it's not slow at all. I use Unpplay to access media from my NAS drive. I didn't find Unpplay terribly intuitive to begin with (probably just me) but stick with until you're successfully streaming

It works with both i tried =D!
But wezi i think i should recommend you skifta ! I think its much more to offer . But thanks for the MX recommendation i thank you very much.
Good to hear it worked, and i'll check Skifta out also
How can i play .mkv on SXs??

You can try MX Player.
Or search the play store, I'm sure you'll find something there.

MX Player can play all formats may be the file you viewed was error (not properly copied) try another file
Yea MX Player is so legit.
You Can use V Player...which will let you run all types of video format's...I use it....and i am satisfied by its performance
Go for QQ player or Vital player...both free apps in google play store!!
BS Player Lite is also good, allows playback of mkv files in hardware mode (which means Bravia Engine would work)
Standard Movie Player Works
Tried some .mkv files on my Sony Sola and they played using the standard movie player. Still on stock GB .564 system. MoboPlayer also plays these files in the hardware decoding mode.
