All I have found is older threads on the subject.
Currently running TeamVenom Viper 1.60 ROM.
Out of the box, the phone still has the issue.
Which is...
Difficulty playing videos on drop box that camera uploaded.
They will open the player and start to stream but won't playback like they should.
No problems doing this (over wifi or LTE) on iOS 7.1.1 or 4.4 KK on other devices.
Plenty of speed both on wifi and LTE so that's not the problem.
Any solution to this?
I've tried a variety of video players but all have the same issue.

Try downloading MX player from the market https://play.google.com/store/search?q=mx player&hl=en
and choosing that as the default player when playing videos from drop box
Update 2:-FYI drop box videos that were uploaded from my phone play fine for me in drop box
Update 3 lol: smaller videos play fine for me such as Zoes but i just tried playing a little larger video file and i got a connection timed out to server..
Update 4: Ive played 6 other videos in my drop box camera uploaded folder some over 1 gig some around 250mb and some around 650mb and they played for me..They are .mp4 video files

Thanks, tried that player a while ago.
Same issue.
Really weird because S4/S5 devices, both stock and rooted, don't have this issue.
Yeah,besides that one time of a connection time out to server I've been able to view videos from drop box on my Stock M8

Sorry to necro an older thread, but found out something of interest over the holiday weekend...
I believe this may be a Sense related issue.
I have a Note 3 that plays back videos on dropbox without an issue at all. Typically takes a few seconds, sometimes even less to start playing with no pausing, etc. It's a T-Mobile unlocked to ATT and is running Jovy's Darthstalker V7.
On a stock M8 as well as custom rom (Team Venom which is pretty much the best rom for this device) has the issue unfortunately.

First off. These forums have been amazing for this newb trying to get my device set up. I am good to go except for playing rippped DVD's.
I am running Calkulin+Clemsyn Froyo Combo.
I travel a lot so I am trying to rip my DVD collection into AVI's and then store on my 32gb micro sd card. I rip the dvd's into AVI's (currently DVD Ripper Platinum) on my PC and then copy over.
My issues:
1. I find that when I copy to sdcard2 (as opposed to sdcard) the files corrupt less often. Often times, I rip on pc, copy to sdcard2 and load with qqplayer and it hangs. I then copy the same file from the pc to sdcard and it plays. Strange.
2. Even when I get get the file to play, the quality is terrible. Audio ahead of video. Very herky/jerky during any type of action. Not sure if this is an issue when I am ripping or a Gtablet setting. Does avi vs mp4 make a difference?
Any help would be appreciated.
I've been watching ripped dvds as Xvid avi files on my gTab since day one without issues or problems. I use DVDFab and am running VEGAn 5.1.1 without any tweaks.

Thanks. What Gtab player are you using? Also, is xvid it's own format or is it a type of avi?
I also have no problem watching AVI or MP4. Try a different player. I use Summer Player from the market or the video player in ES file explorer. Calkulins and Clemsyn kernal.
Does your ROM have the video drivers that can utilize the nvidia video HW? When I was flipping between ROMs a while back, I recall that my video playback was poor on some ROMs because drivers were absent.
I have good video playback on all the tntlite releases and I am at 5.0.0 right now. I use the stock "normal profile" on handbrake to transcode dvd rips into mp4/m4v files. A typical movie is about 1G.
I have used the standard "gallery" to play movies, and currently use "mVideoPlayer" from the market.
For myself, I'm using VEGAN-Tab, 5.1.1 and the default player. I use AnyDVD with Handbrake and use the iPad preset. Works great with excellent video quality.

I think that may be the issue as I tried the suggestions posted and am still getting very choppy video. Can you let me know where to download. I did a search to no avail.
Thanks.
Issue fixed. Flashed Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 and everything plays great. Tried Ginger Edition before going to 5.1 and had same issues.

Right. I think only the releases up to froyo/2.2 have the proper drivers for decent video.

I have a diff issue with watching videos. I feel as if the sound isn't loud enough no matter which setting I mess with. When I listen to music this is never an issue so I know sound is fine on my g tab. The video files play fine on my laptop and I have tried the volume buttons on top. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance I love this forum
I am having issues playing movies off of the microsd card. I have about 8 movies saved to a 32gb microsd. I have two movies that will play (they are about 800mb each) but all of the others don't play (they are all 1.2 -1.5 gb). Does anyone know if the gtab has issues with playing larger files off of the microsd. I am running TNT Lite 4.4 Any suggestions appreciated.
Have tried looking through the various forum threads but so much there that I have not come across this. I have had my GTab for a few weeks and love it. have tried several roms and thanks to everyone for the awesome amount of resources. the first 10 days I was able to play videos from my computer and even movies and tv shows. As of a couple of day ago I can not play anything, get sound but nothing will play including the same stuff that played so well before. Have tried converting videos to various other formats and no luck get error message saying can not play video. Is this an issue with the GTAB, any fix or solution have even restored it back to its original TnT state when it came out of the box. have tried video files in internal SD, external SD and even off a usb stick, same results. Any advice would be greatly appreciated....Thanks !!
I download a lot of avi, and xvid tv shows so I can watch later and without commercials. Currently I'm using Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 5. Even the stock movie player works nice and smooth(no converting). The only other ROM I tried was VEGAn-Tab GingerEdition. It's a good ROM, but not for video playback. I may switch to a Honeycomb ROM when the hardware acceleration issues are worked out.
I use Rock Player and it plays everything I've thrown at it... Although it sounds like maybe you're having some issues with the OS? Maybe try clearing settings for the video player or something?
I bought Asus transformer prime, but after week i noticed that video playing stops after 10 minutes (up to 30 minutes) stops, Player closes and return to file explorer. I tried many video player but there is still this problem. I tried es task manager to prevent auto closing, but without succcess.
Can anyone help me?
EDIT: I tried default settings, but the problem still exist
i have the same issue maybe tegra 3 not supported yet on video playback apps?
Countdown for demandarim to come here and cheer things up
Try MX Video Player, by far the best video player. Works great on the prime.
I have used my prime to play videos of varying length and have not had any problems. Are you streaming from YouTube or Netflix? Or your own video? I am using MX Video Player and have used MoboPlayer. No problems with either.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Try DicePlayer Ad. It supports SMB. It's much better than an external FileManager because they open a second http session for the videoplayer.
with mx video player on non HD videos this happens to me, with H/W videos is fine but with S/W it crashes..
It happens in every player in every video(on sd card or through streaming)
Use dice player. Simply THE best player.
I tried Dice player too... but it still happens.
I have the same problem. I have used the stock video player and MX video player. I have no problems playing streaming video from YouTube. Or Netflix. But when I try to play a video that I have saved on my internal memory, both players close randomly. It may be oneminute in or 5 minutes or 7 minutes. The player stops and closes back to the video menu. It seed to always happen when I am playing. Video I have ripped from a DVD. It has only happened once when I was playing a video that I recorded with the Prime or on my EVO. Welcome any suggestions

Have those with these issues noticed it across all updates? Of the system as well as the respective apps?
I haven't really tried video from the internal card... Better get to checking that >.>

Prior to yesterday's update I had played YouTube and Netflix and videos that I had taken with my Prime - all with no problem. I still seem to have problems with those formats. Unfortunately, today was the first time I have tried a video I ripped from a DVD. Several videos several attempts and they ALWAYS shut down before the video is finished playing. Unfortunately, Icannot comment on pre-.14 performance.
I haven't tested on any update other than .11 (I'm tired of using more battery than is necessary, I'm not moving off this update until I see a good reason... or get bored again ) but I'm so far 33:40 into a 1:28:05 movie and having no issues...
Hi all,
I recently jumped the bandwagon and installed ICS leak on it. Tried Dagr8 Alpha 1 and 2. I also tried Collective. I really love those leaked roms (except maybe Alpha 2, so much lag in my case).
I need help with MX player. One of the biggest reason I bought the note was to watch a lot of my anime series when in the bus going to work/from work. I download animes in MKV format and the subtitles there are embedded. The anime I download are usually 1080p and 720p. I download this video size because sometimes I watch it on my computer too. So I just download it at large sizes so I can watch it anywhere with good quality.
Anyway, when I installed ICS and installed MX player, I'm having horrible out of sync with audio/video. It also gets worse when you watch the video longer. Sometimes out of sync takes a 4-second difference.
If I change from Hardware acceleration to Software, out of sync goes away but the playback is sooo laggy that you can't watch it too. ** Oh maybe not totally go away, as I just experienced right now (while typing this) that I had an out of sync issue even in software decoder. **
I never had any issue with GingerBread. All my anime video plays fine even in 1080p. I have not tried converting to Mp4 but I don't think it will make sense because it was working before with GB. I have a lot of anime and converting it would be a pain for me. Maybe there is a trick that I can do in ICS to fix this issue.
Are you guys also having out of sync issues with some videos in MX player? If not, please try playing videos in MKV with embedded subs and let me know.
I really want to stick with ICS. This is the only reason I'm going to go back to GB before I get to work on monday Please help, I really don't want to go back to GB anymore.
Thanks
bumping thread.
or maybe others can suggest a player that is like MX that uses hardware acceleration to play clips.
Mobo Player does not and I can't find any other player out there that uses HW accel for playback.
Thanks

Although I haven't watched any anime since I flashed ICS, my mx player has had no issues with any movies I've played. I'll download an anime movie and let you know.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache or even reinstalling?

Thanks. That would be awesome. I'm actually looking for a 1080p mkv movie video (even trailers will do) so I could just test it without subs. Surprisingly I can't find one .. lol.
If you are going to download, try mkv animes + embedded subs. I did other test with some other animes and noticed that not are all the same. Although all of anime have audio/video/subs sync issues but some of them only has .5 seconds lag. Some 2 seconds, extremes are 4 seconds. I would assume that whatever is causing this, is how the anime was encoded but when I play it with Gingerbread, not a single sync issue happens. So its either the ICS leak or MX Player.
Thanks again. Looking forward for your test results

Just downloaded ninja scroll episodes to test. The files are mkv with English subs. Everything seemed to be in perfect sync, but hard to tell on a subtitled video.
Just so you know, these are 65mb files so they're not of the highest quality but everything runs fine in terms of audio sync.

Thanks for the test. Yup, I failed to mention that if its 480p .. its fine. Whenever you raise the bar to 720p or 1080p videos then its a different story.
I still have few hours to test. Thanks for spending time and testing it

Ok so I downloaded ghost in the shell 2.0 and it's 720p mkv format. The mx player would not use hardware encoding to play it, but it played via "sw encoding (fast)".
I loaded up the subtitles and let it run. I skipped several places every 20 minutes or so to test. It played with no issues, audio and video were in sync with the subtitles.
You may want to try software encoding (fast) on your mkv files, maybe that'll work for you as well. You can adjust the encoder in the settings.

Ok I will try to do it. Maybe tomorrow since I already flashed back to GB. I only used software decode (not the fast one). But its weird that you don't have HW playback. hmmm. All my videos played in HW acceleration fine, of course except the audio/video sync.
Hmm ..
I actually found something interesting. MX player has issues with some subtitles with our leak ICS.
I tried Dice Player which also uses HW acceleration and I don't have any issue with the same video.
I also tried other ICS video players that use HW and there are no issues.
So, i think its just MX player.

I have found out no matter what rom i flash and with front viewing sensors off the video stock player continues to be choppy/skippy during video streaming play. Is this phone missing some kind of software codec? for being a new phone why is this an issue. I've downloaded Dice player which sometimes 85% of the time works while MX player usually works 90% percent of the time but both players do show some struggle at times. So anyone had this issue and figured it out ?or am i the only one with this issue? i do want to mention youtube play back works perfect with no hesitation its just when running streaming on video stock player. I'm running on firmware MJ4.
What sites for example?
With the information you've provided, I'd guess that it's a network speed issue. MX player works great but it needs data to play a video. The difference between the players might be the default cache size before playback resumes. I used to swear with dice but mx plays more codecs. Just my observations... I've paid for both programs but found more success with mx, especially with the variations of codecs under the avi file name extension. I have yet, to the best of my memory, found a codec that mx couldn't play. Dice, unfortunately being my first choice, had ran across quite a few video codecs it refused to play when mx played it with no problems. Having the arm 7 neo plugin helps too with mx and the n3.
Thanks for your observation and input I am using both players at the moment any ideas why stock player is not effective in playing? for in stance it's always choppy and skippy while while other phones play streaming fine on the same wifi connection

Forgive me i'm actually the one out of line but its funny how the note 2 didnt have this problem when it came to video streaming i had it was maybe a configuration setting but i've looked at all the settings on the note3 with no solution to this so i wondering other were having the same problem and why Sprint has not addressed this issue with its stock player. So much money on this expensive phone and having an issue to something simple as the video player com'mon makes me wonder what other faults maybe present with this phone.
