Act1 video player has a full screen option... don't think you can actually zoom in on a video in stock media player.

Playing Videos = Lag

So I want some videos on my X10. I used ones I already had on my PC (MP4's) and put them on my phone. The quality is fine, some need to be made bigger as they have black areas on the sides. The problem is, there is lag. I'm talking about a second behing on music videos etc. I have tried about 4 conversion softwares now and they all produce the same results, some better than others however. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I have used Mobiola to convert my videos and they paly well on the X10.
You need to create a special profile for screen resolution and save it.

you just need to double tap the screen to full size the video and get rid of those black borders

Forget the conversion apps and just get the divx app.. Works fine without the hassle of converting!!
Hope it helps!!

Simr, I have the exact same problem and I can't seem to fix it regardless of what conversion program I use. I've read on other forums that other phones using the snapdragon proc are having the same prob. What's weird is that not everyone seems to be having the same issue. My temp fix has been to use the Rock divx player. Divx stuff plays in sync so I convert other formats to divx. Hopefully a firmware update will fix this.

on the stock video player? how?

Guys, i have an early beta version of player, which plays .avi, .mkv and other popular formats without any conversion, just uploaded 1.4gb avi movie from my pc, and it plays flawless, ~25fps. Does someone want to try it out ?

umm, when the file is playing, i just tap the screen twice - like how you would double click the mouse on your computer to open stuff
i was also going to suggest that maybe your video files are originally laggy before you put them on your x10 but according to adamupnorth, it sounds like a different issue, very strange...

this is because android 1.6 does not support hardware acceleration in the x10 ,2.1 will bring better video playback ,it will be 720p playback

I have. Plays AVI very well.

Try Mplayer. If it will be as good as the pc one it will rock. SO far it's a bit rough but will work where others fail.
Watch out what settings you tick, not all processing methods are supported by tegra.

I used MoboPlayer and when plays DivX video, the movie plays but the screen getting so dark. I almost couldn't see the movie.
MP4s or MPGs plays normally.
Any help?

Try RockPlayer, seems the best so far.

You don't answer his question.... he asked for a player that plays vob files in a folder. Not the best media player.

I have the same problem. mobo goes dark whenever I start a video..however the trick is the control screen for moboplayer that displays once after you install it and the correct codec.
Brightness control is done by using your finger to slide up/down on the left side of the screen ( landscape mode ).
volume is on the screen right side ( up /down) and forward back in the video is at the top ( left right)
After I reinstalled it and actually read what the control screen says instead of just clicking on pass I find it to be satisfactory to just bring the brightness back up.
I have only had my A500 for 2 days so I'm new. Hope this helps.

Neither did you, so stop being useless.
PS. I did mention mPlayer a few posts back, if that doesn't do it...

I favor Buzz however I haven't tried much else...

I'm new to android.Is it impossible to install movie codecs on android tablets so that we can play all movie formats.Like .ts .mkv etc.

I hope you don't torture yourself with updates on your pc when there's VLC and SMplayer.
No, one size should fit all, look for mplayer or rockplayer.

Thanks.I downloaded moboplayer and it seems for me better than other players i tried.

is there a vdo player that was built from ground up specific for the tegra processor as opposed to a regular android smartphone player?

Rotating .MP4 videos to landscape/fullscreen

When playing back an MP4 file stored locally (or streamed from my network) I can only get the video to play in portrait mode (pretty small). Is there any way I can rotate the playback to landscape and have it fill the screen? I've tried the ES Media Player and the default media player but can't seem to rotate the damn thing. Transformers obviously works in landscape mode, so why won't my MP4s?
I've been searching for a simple solution to this problem but it would appear there isn't one. I haven't tried Ultimate Rotation App because I've read there were a host of other problems with it causing videos to skip and I'm not sure it would do what I need anyway. Is there a native solution, or a better media player that will play my MP4s in landscape/full screen mode?
The particular MP4 I'm testing is x264 and less than 720P.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers, been a big fan of Mobo Player but that didnt work.
About the only thing other than the No Sd Card, No mini Htmi output, More memory, etc,etc, lol. The lack of native auto rotation is a Pain.
Simple solution Thanks.. Havent rooted, Yet, lol..

This is actually very simple and doesn't require downloading anything at all. From any of the main menu pages swipe down from the top right corner and tap the "auto rotate" in the center of the pull down menu and unlock it. The device makers thought that the rotate function should be locked by default on most main pages except the provided movie player.

Is it possible to run KODI in multiwindow with other app below?

Is anyone could check it for me please. That is possible with root.
Just love to watch tv snd browse internet.

Checking now.
No you can not.

Netgar:
It is possible, but I don't yet know if it's really a viable option. In Developer Options, there is a toggle near the bottom that will let you force apps to resize.
After this, I was able to have a video playing on kodi (portrait mode) on top with chrome on the bottom, but I haven't messed around with it much. For starters, it seems very difficult to navigate kodi in split screen, and I'm not sure the video aspect ratio is correct. Anyhow...

Thx guys.
Using my n4 I can have both spmc and kodi running in portrait mode and watching soccer.
I wish we have a root.
Thx again

Were you able to navigate in kodi? Pause, play, stop movie?
I'm sorry that I am coming back to the same question.
Is anyone could test it please
Anyone?

I took another look and I don't really think forcing kodi to run in split screen is worth the hassle.
Alternatively, using a sportsmania account with the matrix TV browser (which plays the streams on app of your choosing such a MX, VLC, etc.) works great in split screen. Also could use sportsaccess account, load the stream in the browser and then split chrome tabs.

I love kodi. Isnt it possible to use an external video player that will do allow split view. I feel like ive seen that in the settings.

Bubba: good point. I had not thought of using an external player as I don't use kodi on my phone that often. I got it to work using MX free player, but am not aware of any settings within kodi... you can find instructions for adding an xml file which then lets you choose an external player by googling...

Thank you pachanga74
Unfortunately the streaming I use run only in kodi.
I just wonder if you could just navigate it. I can use kodi in multi window view all the time and use spmc full screen.

Deleted. Going to look for a more appropriate topic....
