Has anyone tried to play videos on this smartwatch? I tried it with leafpic app but the video only shows a black screen. Anyone tried another video player?
PS: Don't ask me why I want to play videos on a smartwatch:silly: I only want to watch anime in class
There was an old vlc for mips that worked on the watch, there's a video somewhere. I'll look it up for you.

I tried this but it forces close

Tried now with a latest beta version and it works! (only for light videos, but it's something)
https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-mips/VLC-Android-2.1.4-20170409-1256-MIPS.apk
Any example?

Did you convert the resolution to 320x320 or is it a much higher one?

@axiel7, @satmaster How can I play/pause/skip with the VLC on the Pace?
My converted to 320x180 px video runs smooth, but I can't control it while playing.

What is the best video player that works on atrix? I tried QQ and V Player and they both fail pretty hard. V player won't even open anything

arcMedia has worked very well for me, handles .avi files and doesn't afraid of anything..

I use mVideo Player. It works great with added feature of specifying your video folder, adding subtitles from the web and downloading Poster pics for your converted videos. Plays .m4v,mp4, or .mak formats which are the only ones I use.

Same as circuit, but you have to make sure to use FFMpeg since the Atrix doesn't play high-profile H.264. Plays perfectly though if you transcode in FFMPeg even up to 1080p and 5,000kbps or higher. Doesn't seem to phase it at all.
i use rockplayer and it works pretty solid. plays anything i downloaded from the internet.

No handbrake is not only for iphone, its for mpg4. So its perfect for transcoding to .mp4 or containers like *.mkv. I use it all the time and it works great if you make your own presets. Heck even the presets for iphone work great if you don't mind the scaling.
Do these converters retain sub titles? I wish we didn't have to convert anything. When I had the Galaxy Tab that thing played everything I threw at it with no conversions.

With handbrake you can hard sub or multi lang sub. But im not sure how well different players will work with muti lang subs. VLC needs to get a native android app with gpu and smp decoding asap!

I run Rock Player Lite. It plays .avi files flawlessly and that's the majority of my vids. Also the default Entertainment via hdmi works wonders.
MoboPlayer is the best
I have a bunch of video players each with its own set of features. MoboPlayer is excellent. It shows you video list screenshots, it reads off the external SD card, it plays all formats, it has onscreen controls, there are onscreen controls to size the screen, it is fast and colors are good. The only thing it does not do is play videos in the background. I believe Meridian Player does that.
what video support is there with the latest version (3.5 alpha)?
What video player app should I install or should I use stock video app?
What video codecs/wrappers are supported? I have tried playing h264 mp4, mkv, and normal xvid (not 720p), and none of them worked.
Dice player, it's the best video player of Android, but on TP it works very randomly

The irony is that all the movies that these struggle with play beautifully on WebOS with Kalemsoft Media Player. Will they ever be able to port this over to Android?
For now, I guess i can reboot to webOS to watch a movie, but it is a pain since WebOS takes forever to boot up.
Ok, I finally found one player that plays most files pretty well. It is VLC player beta:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517415
The trick is to change the aspect ratio to "Center" so that it doesn't have to resize. Works great with 720p but will make anything less like 480 smaller.
Otherwise, you will get pixelation.
Still don't understand how you guys get MX player to work great. I get video stutter like crazy with high profile 720p videos.
I dont get why you are having so many issues.
I just downloaded mx player, nothing else and it plays my 1080 and 720 mkvs flawlessly..

Any recommendations on apps for ripping and converting dvd movies for watching on a Tablet S?
Aside from copyright issues (let's not even go there) I travel a lot and it would be far easier to take a handful of SD cards with my favourite movies or TV shows on them than lug a box of DVD's half way around the world with me.
I have seen people put movies on their iPads but I don't want to have to pay to download a movie that I already own on dvd just so I can watch it on my tablet.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
For the conversion I would recommend MediaCoder. It's the most versatile tool. The target format would be mp4 (H.264, Baseline Profile).
Supported Video Formats for the Tablet S and the built-in players:
H.263, Profile0, max. 704x576, max 4 Mbps, .mp4;.3gp
H.264/AVC, Baseline Profile, max. 1920x1080, max 10 Mbps, .mp4;.m4v;.3gp
MPEG-4, Simple Profile/Advance Simple Profile, max 1920x1080, max 10 Mbps, .mp4;.3gp
WMV, Simple Profile/Main Profile, max 1920x1080, max 10 Mbps, .wmv
Thanks for that.. Anyone have any thoughts on rippers and/or combined ripping and conversion software applications?

Check out Slysoft's CloneDVD Mobile. It is one of the best rip-and-convert softwares you'll find and well worth its price. For ripping/copying protected DVDs, you'll also need to use SlySoft's AnyDVD HD, which is also well worth its price. I have used all of SlySoft's softwares (except Game Jackle) for several years and have yet to find a DVD they failed to handle.

Thanks - Freemake seemes to be doing an ok job right now - though some stuff it struggles to convert. Also, I have tried to change the dimensions in Freemake so that there is less letterbox and more image on the screen but everytime I do it crashes.
Will check out the Slysoft stuff but it seems a bit expensive for the convenience.

Well, I don't know if I understood your problem.
The crash maybe is due to a problem in your PC.
Personally, I normally choose MKV format and HD 720p quality for my rip's.
Hope this can help you!
I use Handbrake, although may check out Freemake, to convert.
I also use DVD43 as well, never failed yet, for those copy protected DVD's

I second this, MX Player is a great app for playing those video files like .avi, .mpg, and .mkv that most movies come in these days. Perfect for watching my anime's xD

Gave Archos a try. Played my downloaded movies and TV Shows after installing the proper codecs. It's a damn good media center, but it make more sense if you have a large hard drive attached or if you have a Android Media Center attached to your TV. The SMB/Shared Folder feature is really cool to access and index videos stored on a NAS or remote PC. Overall it's a good player, but I would recommend MX Player, it's free, codecs are free and you can play pretty much everything with it.
Archos have a subtitle downloader tool, but for Brazilian Portuguese, it doesn't make any sense, since the App doesn't distinct Portugal Portuguese from Brazilian Portuguese, at least it didn't when I tried.

If you happen to have or acquire the keyboard dock, you could have a total of 128GB additional space (64GB MicroSDXC + 64GB SDXC). That's plenty of space for me to store a good mobile video library w/o breaking a sweat. If you happen to have more, portable HDD/SSD solutions are getting cheaper. I hope that Archos does improve upon their title searching & brings in a better subtitle downloader.

Yeah, but MX Player can also access portable USB-HDD, so that make more sense on the tablet, to be honest. Archos Player have indexing problems on the TF300, for instance, every time I close the lid, or put it to rest, videos stored on the external media (SD, microSD and USB-HDD) are lost from the library and then added again, but when that happen, that's pretty much every time, bookmarked times are lost and resume time states are also lost, so it's not really that practical, with MX nothing like that happens.
So, again, it's beautiful, have a very useful network (LAN) content indexing tool to add remote stuff to your library, but it's not that practical, on the TF300T at least. But if you have a Media Center Android that doesn't unmount external media every time it's put to rest (idle), go for it, it'll be perfect actually.
Just a heads up, XBMC is already available for Android, not every hardware handles it yet, but once it spread it's wings, oh boy, we'll be in for a treat
And if you don't know XBMC, drop dead! (or read more about it at xbmc.org

I use my phone to watch movies from time to time and some of my series are in .mkv files. I use MplayerX to decompress and watch these files. I recently watched Django Unchained on my phone (in .mp4 format) and it was playing smoothly, however whenever I use .mkv files the picture seems to lag and sometimes the audio doesn't synchronize with the video. Is this because of the app or is it too much for the phone to handle?
Note: Each of these was in 720p.

mp4 and mkv are just containers. They tell us nothing about the actual codec of the video. But if HW decoding is not available, then the file might be 10 bit h264, which is too much for even some computers. You're not going to get perfectly smooth playback on a phone then.
Tried Dice?

Definitely bull****, don't listen to this, I have One X and it smoothly plays 720p, there's videos actually showing exactly that, on One X. So, it's some other issue. Try enabling hardware decoder or disabling - either or might be the key.
