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?

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..

meh I just convert anything to mp4 and it plays beautifully on N1.
Convert to mp4 with handbrake, upload to server, watch when I want where I want! This thing is awesome.
Convertings for chumps.
yxflash plays them. It'll even play flv's

Do you like the app? It doesn't have good ratings.
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
I have been digging around for a video player to use with my Shift that supports XviD and MP3 audio. Well I finally found one called RockPlayer, but it seems like it only works correctly on Sense ROMs. It is built off ffmpeg and works lag free 100% using NFX Shift 2.0, but the latest CM7 starts playing the first 0.5s and then stops. I attached the player APK; maybe some of you can take a look and report back what ROM you are using & your experience. Thanks
rockbox was cool but didnt play anything i had smoothly. i went from the epic (which plays virtually everything) to the shift with plays virtually nothing. i just downloaded arcMedia from the market (free) and it works very well. been watching movies off of it for the last week and never had a problem. this is running awesomerom (sense based).
just my $.02
Thanks for the response & advice. One conclusion from all my tests is that you need a SENSE ROM in order to get proper video playback using MPEG4+MP3. I've tried some ASOPs like CM7, Evervolv, and others, but none work so I will keep on trying until I can release a fix.

Try using MoboPlayer. It's free on the market.

I've used Rockplayer and it's buggy, slow, and won't play all types of files. MoboPlayer is superior in every single way. Plus, it's free. It's the VLC player equivalent for Android haha.
im using vital player and it seems to work fine for me
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.

to see if maybe just maybe there might be a fix for it

Installing different players is great, but have you tried MX Player WITH the Arm v7 Codec (on the market as well)? Most vids play flawlessly for me with that setup. Also do what Kameirus said and check the ROM thread for fixes, and it would also help to tell us which ROM and what version of that ROM you're on.

Maybe you're trying to play a 1080p video?
What are the specifications of your video? maybe it IS the problem, not the phone?
