how to watch avi files after ROM mod - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so after i Modded my MT4G with the royal ginger i was wondering how i can play some AVi files i have on my Sd card. when i try to play it it says that its not suported.. any idea or what i have to DL? i tried to install VLC also but that didnt work.. not sure what i am doing wrong.
thanks in advance

Have you try moboplayer from the market? It works perfectly fine on my phone.

I use arcmedia for all my avi files, works great

mobo worked great.. arc didnt work.. i hear sound but no video..
thanks guys..

I wish AOSP or other skins like Sense would implement the same video codecs that are in Samsung's TouchWiz... My gf's Captivate plays any video file flawlessly such as divx/avi.
Hopefully one day Google does the same...

My HTC Touch Diamond 2 doesn't play .avi video files

Hello Everyone,
I bought HTC Touch D2 a week back and now found that it is not playing .avi video files in windows media player. Is there any way to play .avi files or any player that I can install and play .avi files.
Friends please suggest and if somebody has any player that plays .avi files in fullscreen mode that would be very grateful.
Please post a cab file of a software.
Thanks in Advance.
TCPMP plays avi files
Download here.

edit: i didn't test this one. Maybe its a beta or demo but if so, you can find a full version over the net.
TCPMP works great. If you feel like buying something, then I would go with Coreplayer.

What?? TCPMP works on TD2 ??!! How??? What version???
I've tried many versions and the phone freezes when trying to play an .avi file.
I have the official ROM.
Could you please indicate what version of TCPMP is working ?
Thanks in advance.

Windows Media can't play videos? (jagan I need help!)

I use jagan2's ROM and everything works perfectly fine. But I have an issue with it. The windows media in the ROM can only play music but not the video. I downloaded divx program but I still dont know how to play the videos I recorded from my phone because it still opens the video file with windows media instead of the divx. How do I do to fix it?

download the Coreplayer 1.3.6
it's a great program for wathcing videos, films.
tho jagan promised that in his new ROM, windows media player will can play any kind of video.

Thanks for the response! But can you suggest another program because Coreplayer doesnt have sound for some reason?
Have you tried the freeware TCPMP? It plays almost every kind of files out there Audio and Video. You can get it right here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636423
I'm using it on Jagan's Evo2 ROM and it works perfectly.
Good luck.
Yes, the above suggestions will work for you.
And yes in the new version it will be fixed. Still finding time to finish it.

what you mean that it doesnt have sound?
perhaps you downloaded the wrong version...or the trial one..also there is a thing in the program (a thing that can be scrolled, as in every another program.cause of my "good" english i cant really explain you what i mean and i dont rly think that somebody understands what i am writing here, however =D) that controls the sound.
i dont know.
but today i rewatched the "harry potter 6" with coreplayer and everything was super
http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/336158/CorePlayer.PocketPC.r7427.cab and i downloaded it from here (it's a direct link that doesnt need a keygen or a crack so enjoy)
what about the "TCPMP"..I never tried it, but cause it's freeware, it cant be better then the coreplayer =p
@jagan2, honey...this forum can live without you =p it would be better if the time that you are spending by answering questions here would be used on finishing the rom.thanks =D
Thx guys, i fixed it!
Btw, japan, I would like to try your ultimate EVO but is there a way to save the texts on my current phone because they are quite important and I dont wanna lose them from flashing new ROM.

AVI files not playing smoothly..

As we know galaxys in known for its video playback, but after froyo 2.2 update avi files don't play smoothly.. Other files such as mkv, mp4 are playing as before..don't know what the problem is..can any one help..!!
What format AVI files would be the first question to ask .
jje
AVI used to work.
Actually the AVI files where working smoothly b4 the froyo update..So does this make any sense..?
Just yesterday I watched a .avi movie on my SGS (Froyo, SpeedMod, lagxif) using Mvideo Player.
Except for a few hickups here and there, worked like a charm, as good as on clean Eclair using Rock Player (the same movie).
Other than playing . Recording has an issue . On 720p there is a slight difference òf audio and video synchronisation .

@JJEgan , i installed Rock Player and when i go for "hardware decoding mode", Rock Player too has the same avi issue, but if i go for "software decoding mode" everything is working fine..

@Darktori gud 2 hear that..but don't u feel that something is fuzzy by what i was telling in prev post about that "hardware decoding mode" thing in rock player..
Well it is a bit strange, but do remember, that movie files can be very different. One car run smoot, and another cal lag like hell.
Did you test on the same file?

ya i did that..actually i did play the same file when i was in eclair, then played after froyo update..
experience
------------
eclair default player ​ - smooth
froyo default player ​ - hickup
froyo rplayer hardware acceleration​ - hickup
froyo rplayer software acceleration ​ - smooth
I'm playing avi's weekly, .. already played about 10 movies smoothly from my old jpk froyo rom
won't dare upgrading this version since there are no true problems here, ..
@compuse ya better u stick with that..lets find a solution 4 these weird problems..
another one i can notice is in CONTACTS, the alphabets in rightside for quick access has some alphabets missing..haha.. i cant imagine how they r missing these things..
eg :
A

C

Are you using a special kernel?
If you're using a "bigmem" kernel I get the slow downs etc with video playback hardware acceleration occasionally.
Revert to a stock kernel to avoid that. Probably they should give back a little more memory for decoding video.
@ bilboa1 mine is stock kernel..and if what u say is the reason, then it should giv me same issue when playing mkv or mp4 files too..isn't it..?
Seems to me there's some sort of buffering problem. Could be settings of whatever froyo kernel you are using. Also don't forget about hdd fragmentation of file.
Software decoding might be working as its buffering with its own scheme while hardware is using hard written settings in hardware or kernel. Thats my guess

If you have root, download SGS Tools (search for 'sgstools' in market), from there you can "upgrade stock apps" and update your contacts apk
(and while you're there, you can change your default homescreen to anyone you like, very usefull)

ok no problem..will wait 4 some solution..
actually it would be interesting to know the codec and bitrate used (avi is just a container)

help

help. i need somebody to help me, im having problem to watch video files or transfe video files
i cant transfer or watch mp4 or avi files on my acer a500
with any custome rom i use, help.. thank you
Download mx player, and install the codec for arm7 tablet.
you need to install a third party media player. the stock media player in android dosent play alot of files(or at least not very well). there are several out there just pick a good free one. most people use moboplayer and it will install the needed codecs when you open it(but last time i tried it ,it didnt work on acer android 3.1 why i dont know) so I use rockplayer light for now. it plays most files with out need for other downloads.
There are tons of media players just go to market and find one that you like and that plays your files.

(help) can't play mkv files?

HI all, the problem is i can't play/hear mkv files, i tried to use: Vplayer and video was stuck, then i tried to use: mvideo player and then i coudn't hear anything, i geuss im looking for hd-audio-codec for my xoom or some player who can play mkv+sound+subtitle,
im using motorola xomm 3g, 3.1
thanks, Aviad
Try Dice player. It plays high bit rate .mkv files. I also noticed quality improvements after overclocking my device but that will not be necessary for Dice Player to work.
Add to the list rockplayer and moboplayer, both of which do a nice job for me.

Mobo player is great on xoom.
Been using MXVideo player lately and I'm starting to like it a lot better.
Either one works great

Use dice player...
Dice player played my videos better than most other players.
I never got high bit rate .mkv files to play on any other player. Mobo played lower bit rate .mkv files but sometimes I'm watching 720p files on my home computer and want to continue watching on my commute so I just transfer without converting and Dice plays it.
Thanks guys, ill try dice player and let u know if it works
hey,
Mx player works great for me. I love it.

In the market you will see that there is a Dice Player plug in for Tegra 2 devices. Install that as well. They should be on the same page.
Here it is:

I ran into issues like this with some HIGH PROFILE MKV files while running dice player.
MX Player plays those files for me with ease.
