Hi guys,
I have been using the phone for 1 week now. Each time I play a video file (xvid/dvix) encoded using Rockplayer/Moboplayer, my phone randomly hangs. The only way out is to.restart the phone. Has anyone else experienced same issue? This only happens while video playback is going on. And mostly it hangs at exactly same position in the file as before. These files used to play fine on Nexus One and iPhone, so the files are ok. Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

I can't give you a reason why they hang, but i do have a question...
why not use the player on the Galaxy? It's perfectly fine and can handle almost any file type and 1080p HD vids...
I'm using moboplayer, not getting what youre talking about at all. Plays smoothly. And as to the 2nd post for why not use stock player?
Well I watch videos on this while I do cardio everyday... a little over an hour each day. Moboplayer has touch controls. You can swype different parts of the screen in different directions. For example: adjust brightness, skip forward/backward, and control volume. Its a bit easier to use than stock player cause of that. That's my only reason really.

I wish I could just do that. The issue is that same media when played from SD card, plays via internal player. However it says "Video can not be played" when played via upnp. I have tried both allshare and skifta. Same issue.
I watch different stuff when at home, since it is on a NAS which has a upnp server, it makes more sense not having to transfer all that stuff.

I currently have both vplayer alpha and moboplayer installed, moboplyer seem more stable never forceclosed but everytime i exit vplayer it FCs. Only problem I have with Moboplayer is that it does not save current play time on exit so you have to start agaon from the start.... otherwise its excellent.
I never installed vPlayer, as it was always crashy on my Evo. I have been pleasantly surprised by MoboPlayer on my Flyer though. Works very well, and the UI is actually pretty nice. It has saved my point in time on close though, So I haven't seen that problem.
i prefer rock player lite

Here here... I sent a nasty e-mail to HTC, about their video player not supporting a basic avi format, and they said "use rock player lite" I thought it was sad, honestly, but their suggestion was true...

Ummm. The gallery plays standard avi for me. As long as it doesn't use AC3 audio...
Rock player supports most of the files, so its quite reliable no crashes yet
Finally i'm using successfully vPlayer.
try to set it in high quality video mode and set the maximum buffer size.
It works perfect for me.
I don't know if the Flyer has an hardware to decode, so I choose software decoding mode, but it has no lags.
I hope to get in a future a way to set it directly to a specific folder and to get the view of the film's covers.
Did anyone find a way to put an Mkv full hd inside ?
I use QQPlayer for mkv never had a problem never FC (fingers crossed touch wood and all that).
I just wish their connectedMedia app would stream mkv files from my ReadyNAS, avi and the others are no problem.
Has anybody tried Act 1 Player with the Flyer yet? I bought it to use on my Evo last year and I liked it.
i use vital player,plays avi very well
Please someone recommend me a video player which has d function to lock d screen while playing a video; just like
The default player in Samsung galaxy s. Thank u.

MX player works very well and its free. The I has replaced moboplayer and vplayer for me. Moboplayer had issues sizing optimized videos on my nook color but I have to issues with MX player.
Real Player doesnt work with avi files.

I seem to remember a player called something like arcmedia or something to that effect worked for avi. I personally use soul movie. Works very well, and is a very minimal app.

Dice player has HARDWARE based playback and supports FLV and MKV formats among others.
It's $5, but plays back some downloaded 1.5GB 720p MKV files I tried out flawlessly. Even subtitles. So now I have all of season one of a show I like ready for my next flight, without the bother of re-encoding it to suit the View's native player.

How do you get to your movies using the stock application? I've got my movies installed on the SD Card in a folder called movies. To watch them now I navigate to them with Astro and open them from there.
I think I should mention Vital Player if you want to play any kind of video format and take a screenshot from it. FYI, you cannot use magic pen to take screenshot from any kind of video player other than Vital Player.
Hi Guys,
Can somebody point out a video converter for nook tablet ?.
Cheers!!!!!
You don’t need any converter when you can sideload something like MX player!

I use WinX DVD Ripper and it works great, but there is a fee to download it. I've heard of others using HandBrake which is free but I haven't tried it.

As someone else mentioned a third party player like MX Player or Mobo removes the need for converting. Having said that, I use VLC to convert larger videos to MP4 format so they take up less space. It has way more options than I need but is still pretty simple to use.
Handbrake works great

Well, i just tried to play avi file using MX Player,, but could not play it.. infact MX Player did not even recognise it..
So, what i am doing wrong..
You need to download the arm7 codec pack from the market as well for mxplayer
Save hours - use mxplayer
Save hours on conversion times and use mxplayer.
If u have playback problems try using the software decoder option, which u set in the preferences or my tapping top right during playback.

I've installed mobo player.
i've just put on avatar, transformers 3 and warrior. as i dragged them across the pc started converting them. each of them looked ok in the folder. when i unplugged the phone and tried playing them they were just about 5 minutes long with just a bit of music.
i'm completely stuck and baffled...
just tried again, and again, only 4 minutes 51 secs of video played. i don't understand why. is it because i'm uploading using my pc?
why is the pc trying to convert my file format as i'm trying to transfer it? confused!!!
I play 720p mp4 flawlessly with Mvideoplayer. I wasn't promted to convert my MP4 files when I copied them from my PC to my phone, but it did come up when I did it with some AVI files. I clicked no to conversion and they play fine on my phone.
OK, so i've now tried loading another type of file, avi, to the phone. it was a 6.2GB movie. It didn't load, said it was too big!!! WTF!
this is some FAT32 issue right?
But this still doesn't solve my original problem.
I've loaded many different files, many types, different sizes.... But it seems like all the stock video player (and now MOBO Player) wants to do is play only 4 minutes 51 seconds........
but when you look at the file through astro or the pc, it shows the true length of the file.... thnk i'm missing something here, it may be basic, but please help someone. been at this all day with no luck!!
wmv
anybody knows about a player for wmv files? I tried using the Mx Video Player but it says it doesn't support it.
I don't whether you guys looking for the free or paid apps
but
I personally using rockplayer lite and it does work with almost every thing especially if you use "play with hardware acceleration" then every thinh up to 3.5 gb film is work pefectly
I got also a PowerDVD mobile (violation of the xda ...) hacked one so it work well.
so i cannnot post a apk.
Try diceplayer

I transferred movies onto mine, six files ranging from about 700mb to 1.6gb in avi format and they play without any problems on mobo player,I also have power dvd mobile legit version and that plays them as well, the only thing I find with power dvd is it stops playing now and again and I have to press play for it to continue.
I'm on windows 7 and that asks me do I want to convert it,I don't generally but with the planet of the apes I did but it played ok just a smaller file size.
The only thing I can suggest if you haven't already done so is instead of drag and drop, try right clicking on the file and copy/paste and see if that makes a difference??

i tried like mx video player. mobo player etc almost anything with neon codec support. it can barely play a 720p wmv properly, audio just out of sync and video is laggy. something is not right here. however i try some other resolution like 480p and it works fine.
my ex optimus 3d can even play almost all video format with hardware acceleration support.
some media players does not use hardware acceleration!! thats is way is not work fluently

Thanks.
This was the kind of answer I was looking for.
I've spent al most 2 days trying to figure it out.
I've used mp4 files, other formats, normal transfer and transfer using pc companion.
I will try avi files, and no to convert.
hoping this works. stay tuned...
what kind of video can the galley-app play?
I would much like to stream to my Sony TV without HDMI-cabel, same way it works with pictures
Hi,
What is the best program to play movies and subtitles for XPS?
If you try to copy videos or audio it will sometimes ask you to format the file, simply don't allow this when the window pops up.
This will be different for every computer depending on what codecs you have installed.
Also sounds like your possibly not waiting long enough for the files to copy over? Might not be showing the progress bar for what ever reason, slow pc?
Replace the miniUSB cable perhaps with another.
Try a different computer to drag and drop the files across.
There's a 2gb file size limit with the fat file system, a 720p or lower avi movie that's about 700mb is plenty quality for a screen this small, you don't need large blueray 1080p clips taking up memory for a very minor difference in quality.

Also you can put files anywhere on the memory, player will pick up the files automatically.

If you use a combination of bubbleupnp and dice player you can play almost all movie formats just fine. It is perfectly possible to play videos from other dlna servers as well as play videos from the phone on other dlna renderers.

What do you all use for a video player? Anyone know one that can play .mkv files? I'd love to be able to yank a TV show from my NAS and watch it on the subway or something without having to convert or re-download in a different format. Most of my shows are x264 if that helps...
I played around alot with my Evo3D and never could get playback to stop stuttering (can't remember which video player), but I figured this more powerful phone might be able to...

Try DicePlayer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial
It worked great for me on my EVO3D, haven't tried it yet on the LTE but it was the best by far for the 3D that I found.
Just downloaded it. Now I'm moving over some content and will try it out soon as I leave work. THANKS!
I'll update with the results later on.
EDIT: OUTSTANDING playback with DicePlayer. 2.2GB episode of Breaking Bad. Thanks so much!

Just curious, were you running your files off internal storage or an sdcard? I tried it off my SD card and actually had stuttering just now. I may just need to reformat and recopy it over.
Internal. Don't have an SD card yet...
Your question gets me to thinking though....it took like 45 minutes to transfer that 2.2Gb file over wireless. Should write speed be slow slow for internal storage?
Shouldn't be that slow but I would venture as to actually pulling out the micro sd card and using a card reader. That's what I always do much faster.
Edit sorry didn't see you had a sd card yet. Wireless itself is somewhat slow but this is flash memory should be fast.

Dice was only one that handled MKV audio for me. Stock player and mx both play 1080p mkv no issue, but without ac3 audio.
I have a 32gb class 10 msd card. Hdmi out worked fine as well with all players barring audio issues with all but dice

Interesting. I'm getting choppy playback on multiple types of .avi files. Anyone else experiencing any issues with DicePlayer? I've tried playing from the sdcard and internal phone storage. It starts stuttering immediately and continues throughout.
Ive been using MX Player with the Decoder setting at "S/W decoder (fast mode)" Works great with subtitles too.

I thought the flash storage would be pretty fast as well....I guess they use the cheap stuff...kinda like a cheap USB stick...it's nowhere near as fast as a high quality SSD...

I could have swore I tried mx player and the stock player on my Evo3D, and neither would recognize .mkv files... If I ever have a problem with Dice, I'll check this out.
