Hi, I use my Atrix as a satnav and media player in hotels via the hdmi output. It works great with mx player but netflix defaults to the phones native resolution. Does anyone know if there is a verion of netflix that supports 720p or 1080p via hdmi.
I'm using Nottach trix 2.3.0. if that makes any difference.
Cheers

I've been trying to play MKV files off of my gtab with flashback 10.1.
I can get it to play with OnlinePlayer but it is too laggy to watch enjoyably, and I tried Mobo Video which doesn't seem to work for me after installing like 3 add ons they recommended...
Anyone else have any luck? I really want to use this as a video player device but I can't get files to work.
I'm on flashback 10 (since all 10.1 seems to do is update / replace / remove various apps) and I've been using MX Video Player to play my MKV files. works perfectly. I was specifically looking for a player that handles softsubs on MKVs and this player does that far better than I expected. So many extra little features works fine for me with 720P files. haven't tried any 1080P ones though.

Ok I will try that out. Isn't the gtab with honeycomb incapable of playing HD video though?
edit: Tried out MX Video player. Very good recommendation. It is great! Thank you very much.
Thanks

Wondering which ones you guys use on X2.
I want to be able to play some 720P videos streamed from my NAS device.
I tried MX player (just ok), so far, dice player appears to be working well, but wondering what else is out there.
Thanks.
VLC will always be king in my book, both on mobile and desktops... Nothing else compares to it

mVideoPlayer is my player of choice.
I havent really looked into third party video players yet. Are there any video players where you can adjust the brightness, contrast, etc.?
Just using stock but open to suggestion's..
Issue with stock:
Many videos will play without audio.
No stream play capability = must copy files internally from my NAS server.
I am currently using MX video player. Works pretty well.
Just wondering what people are using.
Thanks.
I had the same deal, streaming DLNA
here are a few tries for you

Wrong thread.
i too use mx video player. most versatile one ive found so far
I use BSPlayer lite
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
Supports mkv, subtitles, hardware acceleration and has built in samba support for streaming files over network.
Haven't tried it on my X2 since I don't watch videos on it but works great on Xoom.

I noticed that mx player can NOT do hardware decode over SMB network stream.
Once I move the file locally, it plays fine.
Are you guys able to playback hd video? Im not talking about youtube but rather bluray rips or general mkv, etc... HD video.
If so, which player are you using (android or web os)

I used Kalemsoft with WebOS. It played 1080p and blue ray rips wonderfully. Android, and in the other hand, has problems still with video playback.
Press thanks if I helped!!

In webOs I use touchPlayer, in Android, meridian, mxvideo and moboot play just about everything for me.
webos.. kalemsoft works great. plus setsup and streams from another pc on lan or pc from out of lan hotspot..
all features work great and automatic
I use touchplayer for compatibility but it chokes on big HD stuff.
For anything serious I just encode it specifically for my touchpad. Then it plays fine even on the stock player. Including seek/skip.
I do a ton of encoding for youtube so doing a few movies for my touchpad is no biggie and even if I had a program like the fabled Kalimsoft that can play anything I would still encode it for my touchpad because I would rather have a 1.5GB movie instead of a 7GB one on a 32GB device.
I have no reason for a movie larger than the touchpads screen resolution since it does not even have a TV out feature like some other devices so its not like you will ever see it displayed in any resolution other than the screens native.
And yes I know my stuff so I made a tutorial on how to do it: http://youtu.be/6ayiV9e23-4
Hello,
I know there seems to be some sort of issue with Tegra 2 chipsets not decoding video properly but I read that with the right codec and video players you can play 720p high profile MKVs/MP4s, how can I do that?
Also, does it matter what ROM I'm on? Like CM7 vs Stock MotoBlur? I'm on CM7 and I tried a few video apps and most face some sort of problem with 720p videos stuttering and whatnot.
Thanks.

That's one of the most important issue of the Atrix.
I can't play most of my HD anime videos fluently on my Atrix because the hardware doesn't support high quality HD mkv videos.
But I've heard the Samsung S2 does.... -.-
And that makes me angry!
Anyway if you not afraid of trying HD videos on your Atrix, you should try 'MX video player' and 'V player' (both need separate codecs).
Both are great but 'V player' is the only player which can show subtitles from mkv videos which I stream with my w-lan router from my external hard drive.

If you haven't yet, try MX Video player. It uses some software trickery and plays most if not all of my hd videos beside being the best video player in many aspects. I tested on the phone only so don't know what the output to an external monitor would be.
Don't forget to install the right codec and always toggle 'software fast mode' on the screen if videos get stuck. It also gives you the ability to zoom into the picture.
Regards
Edit: Blizzard22 - I much prefer MX to VPlayer. Especially as the former seems more optimized for tegra...
Not sure if it has problems with subtitles in certain containers... until now subtitles worked for me and their rendering is very pleasing.

I have both player and I personally prefer MX video player but the subtitles are missing if you stream your videos with mx.
V player can show the subtitles and that's why I prefer V player.
But for normal use I definitely prefer mx before visiting player.

I think this is a problem of the Tegra, High Profile videos not work with HW decoding, I have tryed MX player, but, all the times it loses sync or drop frames.
the temp solution for me is recode videos to Baseline profile in 720p
VLC is coming for android, maybe that will be the golden egg.

if they use HW decoding, but will be stuck on Baseline Profile again
The two players I have the most luck with are Dice and Mobo. Try them out.
Hi,
I am running netflix app on Mi Tv 4 , it works fine but I am not sure what's quality of streaming, 720p/1080p or 4K.
Is there any shortcut (like netflix provide on desktop) to determine bitrte/qualty etc?
I also purchased d same model.
As we side-loaded Netflix, it would be 720p because 1080p and 4K needs special DRM which our TV supports completely but it should be an official system update from manufacturer end. As of now, only alternative to watch Netflix in 4K HDR is- I connected a laptop(should be HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compatible) via HDMI.
Nvidia sheild, Chromecast Ultra/Fire TV stick 2 are great alternatives at low price but unfortunately neither of them are available in our country.
Thanks,
What HDMI cable works for you. I think 4k HDR need special HDMI cable.
Let me know amazon link to buy.
