Does anybody know a solution for video playback on desire hd and z builds not working....
- problem in streaming media like spb tv (just audio no video)
- problem in video section. video thumbnails are displayed correctly but when playing video same problem (just audio no video)
in video section it happens with avi files encoded in divx i think. but not for all... sometimes i got videoplayback on certen avi files
thanks for comments
does it play avi natively? i tought you needed rock player or similar to play avi files
yes it does
Could be a codec issue, remember avi is a container and could contain one of several video formats, although they usually do tend to be mpeg4 divx. Check the video properties in vlc player or similar and check the codec info

Found this file on the forum, tested it on my device, so far so good.

Should work on any DHD ROM.
Flash through CWM, but highly recommended to do a backup through CWM first (better safe than sorry).
Hi
any news about mkv (h.264) videos whith this tablet?
Hardware is the problem? or android is the problem?
regards
AFAIK, the Vega can't play MKV as this is a limitation of Android (as opposed to the tablet). perhaps in 2.3 / 3.0 we'll see MKV support introduced.
thanks
I can to play mkv with h.264 files, but it's too slow, 4-6 fps only with any players (vital player, meridian, etc)...
saludos
Did you try rockplayer? Have good experiences with it, but haven't tried mkv yet...
You can always use a program like Handbrake to convert it to mp4/h264, which works fine for me.
Remember that MKV is just a container if the base AOSP build of Android suddenly gained the ability to parse Matroska containers it would not magically give you the ability to play High-profile 1080p H.264 video streams, or DTS/AC3 audio that may be contained in the MKV.
Rockplayer and all the ffmpeg-alikes are able to parse the containers but _none_ of them will be able to use the native hardware acceleration and as such will be useless for HD content.

This is the problem
I use vital player, the best for mobii/vega, because I can view all videos with AC3 without problem (divx or wmv with AC3). MKV with vital player are slow too...
The best codec for mobii/vega 720p? mp4/h264? wmvhd? I have a lot of mkv/h.264/mkv...
regards
Funny thing is my first tablet the ZT-180 was able to play mkv 720p high profile with DTS beautifully! It stuttered a bit on 1080p, watchable though. This is on a low budget machine, on the vega it should fly! This was in real player for android by the way. Explain that

I second this. MKV was perfect on the ZT-180's 2.1 rom. Proof that this is not a limitation of android.
hi,
i have installed rockplayer and mVideoPlayer. it seems that they install some codecs because now i can play 720p and partly 1080p MKV videos on my mobii tegra (vega rom + modaco) via the video player that comes with the rom.

Because that tablet its _so_ dodgy that the OEM built in MKV/DTV/AC3 decoding into android (like Samsung/etc) and released it without paying for the licences (for DTS and AC3).
If dolby et al notices then the retailers will get a lawsuit.
Though it does mean that there is Android source floating around China that includes MKV parsing. Latest Gingerbread update add WebM so lest see if that comes with a full matroska parser.

Advent Vega 1.09 ROM + MoDaCo r8
when i play the movies with rockplayer or mVideoPlayer it's slow, too. But with the original player it works fine. Don't know why
Hi all
Apologies for the thread revival. There's no need to use any third party apps to play MKV files, you can play MKVs using the built in media player. I use Astro file manager and do the following: navigate to file, long-press on the file itself, select "Open As", select "Video", then choose the default media player. It might be easier to have the app recognise it as standard, but this method works. I've tried quite a few 1080p x264 vids and the only thing the Vega struggles with is the audio codecs - it supports AAC, but AFAIK it doesn't support AC3.
EDIT: I should probably mention that I use the default 1.09 ROM, modded with MCR R8.
The reason that third party apps probably get a low FPS is that they do not use the Tegra2 hardware accelerated decoding - the built in player does however.
The core Android system actually supports the MKV container format - it's listed on the spec page; I guess implementation is obviously different for each device. As someone pointed out though, the important thing is the codec in use for each video/audio stream; MKV is just a container format.
Is there a program which can link file extensions with app s?
I believe that mVideoPlayer literally just makes the mkv format available/viewable/whateverable in the stock player, so if you install it, you should just be able to play mkvs in the stock player (mVideoPlayer does not have any codecs, so it will only be able to play the codecs that your device can already play)
most devices can play H264 mkv, hell my phone can even play them with one player or another, the issue here is decoding, the vega simply cannot decode h264 high profile video hence the slow framerates as the player has to switch to software.
Suggesting this is possible by switching to the stock player is just nonesense, those that claim to have good frame rates are NOT playing h264 high profile, the hardware cant do it, period, end of thread.
Note: most "ripped" MKV films / tv files (1 gig usually for TV rips 6 gig + for films) that can be downloaded in 720p and 1080p will be encoded in high profile, you simply wont ever be able to play these with decent frame rates without re-ecoding into a codec tegra can handle like H264 main profile - unless the open source VLC team manage to create their own CPU optimisations when VLC finally come out, even then it wont be buttery smooth.
give it up people, you are going to have to re-encode or not bother using it as media tablet.
Hi
I'm new to this and wanted to ask do you know any videoplayer to use on taboonay 2.2 + an 3.7 kernel. Because I use mx player for now and it's great but every movie I play in HW just lags. And in SW works great. Anyone have this issues also?

No problems with MX on my ROM, depends on the video, and how it's encoded though. Most will play on HW encode on mine, but every once in awhile I'll d/l one that forces through SW, but still plays fine, no lag.
I use Taboonay 2.2 and Richardtrip 3.7 and MX Video Player is by far my faviourite video player. I OC to 1.5 GHZ with the interactive governor. MX plays 90% of my files without flaw or lag, playing 100% of SD files or Baseline - profile MP4's (720p, havent tried 1080p). It does however, force the use of software when decoding 720p MKV Files, forcing me to convert them to Baseline or High profile MP4's. When playing those MKV files, there is severe lag and HW Decoding is grayed out. However, using Dice Player, i have managed to play some of those 720p MKV's, but the other features of MX are simply too wonderful for me to make the switch. However, after the damage of my USB port and the inability to use my 16 GB flash drive, i found myself streaming videos from my home computer using Plex, which is hell to set up but is very rewarding! It is remarkable although i still use MX Video Player for when I'm not at home to play files stored locally. Try OC'ing to 1.5 GHZ ONLY if you feel comfortable doing so. Otherwise, check out Dice Player, it has a free 3-day trial app!
Well it does not lag but feels not quite smooth. But on SW it's totally smooth. And those are xvid files:
Video: Xvid 624x352 23.98fps 1012kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 152kbps [Audio 1]
Ok so I have .mkv's that I have ripped from physical Blu-Rays. I have converted them to h.264 mp4's using ripbot264. The settings I have are AVC high profile 4.0 progressive, 2-pass encoding, 4000kbps video @ 720p, & 2-channel audio AAC @128kbps.
With these settings, one would think that the Nexus 10 would have no problem at all playing the video back smoothly via the stock video app. Unfortunately this is not true, the video playback is constantly choppy and I am trying to figure out what the problem is.
Don't use the stock app lol. Try MX Player or BS Player.
