Short answer: it's in the works. There are some alpha/beta players that can play it, but my advice - wait up, it's coming.
thanks, i'll keep my eyes out...
really it will be when i pick up the EVO come summer....
wanna push my downloads from my phone to my TV...
I havent had any luck with lots of research been converting with dvdfab and handbrake
Yxflash from the market plays them... its not the greatest and framerate kinda sucks... but it does the job..

Convert to mp4 with handbrake, upload to server, watch when I want where I want! This thing is awesome.
Convertings for chumps.

Do you like the app? It doesn't have good ratings.

.cab file!
will play Real Media files on ur pocket pc!
Will it play rmvb video files, as well? Compression on those are outstanding.
You know... a month or so ago I spent HOURS searching for this ****ty ass real player program... and I finally tracked it down and installed it.
And then you know what...
It wouldn't even stream the damn file I wanted it to stream :evil:
I haven't ran it since I installed it.
Real's compression is all terrible.
Using pocket divx encoder to encode small avi files and playing them use tcpmp is FAR better then trying to fight with this horrid software.
Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents

what are you stalking me? lol
And I got it to stream files just fine from it's main homepage site, but when I tried to pull up real streams from other sites, it would just site there and never start playing it.
I know what I'm doing :wink:
Just got the A500 this week, extremely excited. Coming from my EVO the Honeycomb works similar, but different than my smartphone (CM7). One thing I'd noticed, is that none of the current Froyo/Gingerbread video player will play .RMVB files on this tablet.
Does anyone has a solution? Or I'm just whacked out? Thanks.

The general consensus is that as of right now Honeycomb on these tablets is only playing certain profiles of media and file types. For me, mp4s encoded at 1080p and under play but some are stuttered while others aren't. This has to do with profiles which I don't know the details about (there's a post somewhere around about it, either in here or in the Eee Pad Transformer section).
Now personally (so this is speculation), I think Tegra 2 can play everything so we just have to wait for updates to enable it all. Forget playing anything right now from your collection OR you can always encode your stuff to the specifications of what the tablet will run nicely now...which is, /shrug.
I've been using MoboPlayer and it seems to play every format I've thrown at it, but I don't have an rmvb to test.

What dvd ripper are yal using. i am having trouble finding one that will encode them to the right format. i am using moboplayer but it will not play any files that i put on my tablet
So far i have tried rockplayer and moboplayer....rockplayer had a lot of FC's because I don't think it was compatible, plus the video playback kinda sucked
I recently tried Moboplayer and it works great...even saves where you left of on multiple videos
is there anything better? Thank you
i swear by rock player, not an issue yet. Maybe try reinstalling? Other than that, what does it need to be able to play?
Yeah WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 12 / VLC MEDIA PLAYER.......
......

it doesn't seem to be optimized for HC...keeps FC'ing on me
Moboplayer seems to have a lot more downloads, hence popularity
I mainly use rockplayer and the stock one......
Both are made by the same dev of believe. Mobo is much better than rock however. Be sure and have the latest codec pack installed.

yes, when you first install it, it will let you know if they are needed.

I used to use rock player too....give moboplayer a try and I bet you won't go back
Mobo player doesn't dim (and by dim I mean turn them into small dots) the os buttons and time at the bottom, this is the sole reason I am considering uninstalling it, but I haven't found one to beat it yet.
Does it "dim" for anyone else?

I like the way control volume, brightness on moboplayer.
Feature-wise Moboplayer still has a lot of room for improvement. But in terms of codec support and performance (some stuff that wasn't smooth on other players played smooth as silk on Moboplayer), MoboPlayer is my favorite.

yea same here...its very neat
Mobo doesn't play very smoothly in software mode for 720p content... Unfortunately the Xoom doesn't playback enough formats natively so software mode is a necessity...
I swear by MoboPlayer as well, though sometimes I drop back to RockPlayer Lite just to see how it handles things. Love how Mobo remembers where you've left off regardless of how many movies/videos you've watched in between.
On the other side of the spectrum is mVideoPlayer, it has an awesome interface but only supports stock Xoom codecs. They recently updated to support sub/idx support for subs, but that whole stock codec only support kind of ruins it for me. I use this for any YouTube videos pulled w/ TubeMate.
I tested QQPlayer as well, it's not too bad but I was really searching for subtitle support so I could enjoy foreign flicks on the road. It didn't really offer much aside from srt support, but I figure I'll keep it in the hopes it'll see more development in terms of sub support (I believe it's developed in China or Korea, so sub support would have a higher priority).
any players allow you to make playlists? I like to fall asleep with a few episodes of stuff in the background
FWIW -- QQPlayer plays everything that I need it to play....
Vital Player is the best player on honeycomb I love you can turn the volume just using the screen.Same goes for brightness & full and widescreen.Vital Player updates regularly.

I recently put cyanogenmod 7 on my Evo. I have some movies on my sd card in mp4 format that I've always played using Zimly player when I had the Fresh build....Now Zimly doesn't see them, and when I try to open them from es file explorer,i get an error. Is there something I need to install to make these work?
NM....re-installed Zimly in the new build and it works fine now...
Maybe the app isnt 2.3.4 compatible yet if you "recently" installed cm7 and it worked before. Have you tried another app from the market like qqplayer or vplayer?
Oops...all is not well afterall
Now Zimly "sees"all the movies, but it will only play a couple of them....it would play them all on the fresh evo build...
I'll try qqplayer
What codecs are the movies? What resolution? What bitrate?

Im sure it did! I love it man I've yet to find a file/movie it can't play.
Holy #[email protected]$% does this thing play everything I throw at it for video. They really did a great job. So far I've pulled some of my old video's, some torrents, YouTube, Flash, different sizes, codecs and formats and haven't had any problems.
They really did a nice job on this aspect.
I dont know why people hate it?? It brings more to the table then stock android. The same goes for HTC's Sence. They both add functionality. However some luncher's
*cough*motoblur*cough* just seem to sit in the background taking up resources.
playing videos has nothing to do with touchwiz, but what formats the chips supports. samsungs proccesor supports alot. but any other launcher would do the same

The software needs to decode it.. it's not all about the hardware. Samsung added all the "usual" codecs to TW

The Galaxy S also played everything. Mkv's bluerays etc. Hummingbird and Exynos are best CPU chips in the world right now.

I can't get it to play mpeg video files I have to encode them to mp4 which is a bit annoying and time consuming.

You can try 'MoboPlayer' from market. It plays MPEG videos for me. And it is free
