I purchased the digital version of Alice In Wonderland. It does play on the HD2 with Windows Media Player. When I tap menu, then full screen, the movie plays in landscape, but does not fill the entire screen. There is black on all 4 sides of the picture. I looked in options, and there is a check mark in the box for "scale to fit window".
Is anyone else having this problem? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I did search for an answer but found nothing. Why isn't my movie filling the entire screen?
Same Problem
Okay I'm finally getting back to my same old problem. No one responded before so here are more details.
Searches tell me that the HD2 will play wmv right out of the box. That's true if you use Windows Media Player. I can't get HTC Sense to even find my wmv file when I point the album right at the correct folder!
So I play the wmv with Windows Media Player and it won't go full screen.
Is anyone else having this problem? What's going on?
mmm every one knows windows media play is ****...try core player or TCMPC players their the best for watching video files
Thank You

Thanks for the reply. I've seen coreplayer recommended but there is no trial version to see if it will take this wmv to full screen. I'll look at TCMPC. Do you happen to know if either of them play videos full screen on the HD2?
I finally blew off the digital version that came with the DVD. I took the DVD and ripped it to a mp4 using DVDFab7. I have no idea if I've selected the ideal settings but it worked. I can play Alice full screen using the HTC Album.
trial version to see? yes it plays full screen..
1st rule google.com
2nd Search
3rd rule trial and error
3rd ur wasting my time and others time by posting this instead of actually reading descriptions and searching around!
hence why u had no replys
Wow, I cant help in anyway here, but I think the response given is totally uncalled for...
Of course I searched!

Of course I want a trial version to test it out. I could waste a lot of money buying every single app I want to try. I did search around and saw posts here and on other sites that said coreplayer doesn't have full screen acceleration.
I always search, I'm not new to xda.
Thank you Gstq10000, for your reply.
well for ppl who want things to happen things happen...soz i found a trial version of core before i bought cause i actually googled it...
it would be one less worthless thread on xda if ppl read the rules and used google and xda search
To the OP: What it sounds like you're experiencing is a resolution conflict. I've recently been experiencing this as well, and the "quick fix" solution was to reduce my display resolution when watching one of those videos. While I have little doubt that it has to do with the codec used to encode the video, I don't have a solid explanation for why it is that some videos have a maximum resolution after which they simply refuse to fit to the screen whereas other videos of similar resolution are all too happy to scale to fit even if it means enlarging the pixels so the video will fill the screen.
Perhaps a more knowledgeable traveler could shed some light on why this occurs if not also on a more permanent practical solution.
**Edit** I apologize for the necromancy. I failed to check the last post date before submitting this reply.
Hey guys (and gals),
Real quick question. I am running a Hero 2.2 Vanilla and am having difficulty finding a video app (native or otherwise ...doubletwist) that will play videos in rotation. To clarify, I am a fan of music videos and have several on my phone but the player will not cycle from one to the next on the list automatically like it does with music. I have to choose the next vid manually. I know the iphone (grrr) and my ps3 have this capability and was wondering if you might have some ideas.
Thanks,
~Jill~
Moved to Q&A as not development
OK, thanks Pulser. Sorry for the misplace.
No worries. I don't use videos on my phone much, but what about yxflash or something like that?
I have a question about players.. it seems it *should* be simple but Android does not seem able to handle it.
Music is important to me.. so important, i am considering returning my brand new Note 2 and eating the restocking fee.
I am looking for a music player on par with iOS basic player. Before the flame war begins, hear me out.
1. Most important feature. This one is the deal breaker. (if i find this, i can forgive the rest) MUST be able to sort Genre by artist. Before you say Mixzing, I will tell you it does not. If you go to Genre, then it shows artist. If you click on the artist, it shows ALL songs by that artist.... not just the one in the genre you picked.
Why do i need this? I'll give you an example.
In iOS if someone wanted to to play, Green Day (for example). They could:
a) play ALL the Green day music by going to the artist section, or
b) they could play only their favorites by going to genre, (favorites) then Artist (green day) then all their favorites are there without the ‘not so good’ songs.
I am sure I am not the only one that likes to play ALL the music by an artist on some occasions, while only their favorites on other occasions.
Aside from doing it the way it is done in iOS as outlined above(having the Genre list break down into artists and albums) maybe another (dare I say better) way to come at it would be a filter that could be accessible from anywhere that would let you select “show only 5 star” or something. So you could play all songs by an artist by going to the artist tab; or you could play only your favorites by going to the artist tab, hitting the “filter” button, then selecting ‘show only 5 star songs’ or something to that effect. That would filter the rest out.
I told you the first one was a big one! now the rest:
2) Speaking of stars.... Android doesn't seem to support them. Sure they can be viewed and adjusted in some players... but why? You can't sort by them, set up playlists based on them, or use them in any meaningful way.
3) 30 second rewind like in iOS. Seems simple enough. Yet deceptively hard to find.
4) This is another deceptively easy one... Why does the scrubber on ALL android music players show the play-time on the right of the scrubber, and a STATIC track length on the other? Again with iOS.. iOS shows the time left on the right. Seems easy, right? good luck finding an Android one that can do it.
5) a playing "X of XX" tally. on a playlist of 6 songs, it would be like a "now playing" 4 of 6. Seems easy.
I am by no means an apple fan-boi. I did, however come from the ipod touch. So i am used to the Apple way.
The funny thing is, everyone says Android is better because there is so much choice..... I would LOVE to choose one that does the above. It doesn't seem to exist.
please help!!
give power amp a try. i love it and it is very customizable.
I'm sure apple has patents on all those things.
Seriously, if you were that happy with the ipod touch, just get an iphone instead of learning a new app.

2 words. tiny screen.
seriously though, i am coming up on the 2 week mark. I have 2 weeks to return it. I haven't decided to do that yet, i posted here as a last ditch effort to find what i am looking for. I love the note 2.. .but if i am going to continue to carry an ipod, what is the point?
Poweramp and you're done.

You're welcome. Now get the dsp pack on you're own, figure it out and enjoy!

Thank you so much for the quick replies. I love this forum! very active..
Thanks for the link to PlayerPro. I actually already had that one. It doesn't do the main thing i want of a player though. There is no way to filter results of Genre by Artist. Unless i am doing it wrong. Can you advise on that? (see item 1 on my list in original post for a better elaboration of what i mean)
Still playing with poweramp... it is VERY close! love it so far, thanks for the tip guys.
Maybe someone can clarify to make it do EXACTLY what i am looking for.... When i go to Library at the bottom, I choose Genres. Then I choose the genre i am looking for... lets say Favorites, as in my original example.... then the Genre Albums pops up. This is very good... to make it perfect, is there a way to make it show Genre Artists instead of Albums? In my example of Green Day, it would shows up under Genres, Favorites, but there are several Green Day Albums that have songs listed as favorites. As is, i can play each album separately, but i would love to play all of the Green Day ones at once.
Again, thanks guy.. i hate to sound nit-picky about this, but i am just trying to get it how i want it.... i listen to about 6-7 hours of music a day in my car while working.
you guys are life-savers.... Tomorrow is the last day i had to turn my Note 2 back in and get an iphone. the ONLY reason i would have done that is for the music.
that's one (and only one) of the beauties of Android, for every request for a player or a function, there's 10 different players and opinions. keep searching, you'll find one. I wouldn't return this phone for 2 iphones. Android is my fav and this sammy is by far the caddy of phones right now, with nos and flames!

I would. Then I would sell both iPhones and get two Galaxy Note II's.
Could use a bit of help, i'm looking for some kind of app that scrolls the trackname/artist/etc of what google play is currently playing accross the statusbar, that way i can easily see what track i'm playing while having waze running on the HU screen.
Anyone know is there is suck an app? been googleing for a while without much success.
This could easily be moved to some other section, but since i'm in the frame of mind regarding the functionality when driving i'll give it a shot in this section
First time user here so I'm not exactly sure where to post this. Sorry if it's in the wrong section.
I am an avid user of Google Play Music (Yeah I'm one of those people.) I use it mainly because I have a Youtube Premium subscription, and I still don't think Youtube Music is the better platform. But I really am getting bored of the design of GPM. I'm becoming less of a fan of how everything looks, and more of a fan of how minimal apps look (more like spotify)
Is there any way I can go around making GPM look more like Spotify?
