Does anybody know of a widget available that would show the videos I have in a scroll-able stack? I think Netflix does this with the streaming movies (not positive), but I'd like to be able to browse through my video files from the launcher. I'm assuming if this widget existed it would come as part of a video player. Thanks.
Mizzu is awesome.

Looks perfect! Thanks. I browsed a bunch of video players on the Market, but never noticed that one.

I cant get any videos playing on my nexus one!! Sometimes they only play the audio and the video is a black screen! Youtube works fine but podcasts dont work! The myPod app (for podcasts) finds the podcasts fine, but when i click to watch the video of it, only the audio plays and a black screen. Same thing with a .m4v on my sdcard. Black screen with audio. Anyone else have videos working?
.m4v is apple protected file right?
I had this issue with downloading files from NPRs app. I was told to just change the file extension and it would work, but it did not for me. If you install doubletwist (in the market) I think this will solve your issue. I was just reading a review of the nexus from an iPhone guys perspective and he was gushing over the app and how it played ALL of his video files..

I have no experience with it (but I will tomorrow).
anyone else get videos to work?
why can the nexus one read the audio of mp4 podcasts but not the video, only displaying a black screen?
The podcats on Revision3 stream perfectly. m.revision3.com
What method do recommend in playing movies and other videos on the Nexus One from what files to play, how to transfer them to the phone, and how to play them on the phone.
I browse my movie files on Astro file manager or the stock Gallery app. NemoPlayer browses music nicely too. However, a dedicated movie player would be nice.
I also noticed that it doesn't play all of my videos. It's probably because of the resolution.
I use the paid for version of Act1. The program from what i see only plays video. The program tells you what time it is ie. real time. it also tells you how much battery power you have left as well. When you open the program it tells you what files on the phone/SD card that can be played. What i do is make sure the video file i have is already in HD most of the time 720p or 1080p. I use WinX Video Converter to convert the file to MP4. I set the res to 800x480. The video file plays with no skipping and no problems. The picture also looks really nice as well. If i had to answer your problem about it not playing the file i would say that is before the file is not support by the N1. I believe just MP4 and H.264 are the only supported files. It plays the same thing a Iphone can play and a Itouch pretty much.
Is there anyway to play files other than mp4. Such as wmv?
Someone knows how you can watch a full screen video in the stock video player without the black bands?
Other phones (HTC Hero for example) have a button on the player to resize the video.
Thx

The default player won't do it. Act1 has a full screen option and it's a great app, as the previous poster detailed.
Thx! good player
I have been looking on youtube everywhere but nobody has demo the music player so i'm guessing its the same as on the Hero.Evo owners can u tell me if it is the same or post a pic of the music player?
its the same
get real player beta hands down the best
the stock player is pretty decent, but the best music player i have used is MixZing. read the reviews, it's awesome.
for video playback get mVideoPlayer
does Mvideo play any container?(or most containers?)

it is a thin wrapper around the android video playback architecture, so it will play what android normally plays. your best bet is h264+aac in an mp4 container with the proper settings (basically anything the iphone will play, without protection). it also adds some nice features the htc gallery app doesn't have, such as saving your spot in your videos, subtitle support, etc.
Cool thanks I was hoping for something that would let me play my files unconverted but with handbrake it's not much of a hassle to convert
It's pretty much the same as the Hero, but it seems to do steaming MP3s and whatnot now. Before with my Hero, it would have to download them, and then I would have to play them.
stock music i'm sure is the same.
there finally is a music player with an eq, but i don't remember where it is. i think the apk can be found in the nexus forums. seems to work okay.
right now, i'm kind of digging 'cubed' (actually named with a superscript 3 on the market, but if you search for cubed, you'll find it part way down the list). beautiful interface, and widget. i finally may have found an app worth donating to, lol
I like meridian .. have tried them all..
i don't have android phone... do any of the media players allow you to create playlists from the phone? that way i can dump all my music on my phone and organize it on the fly.

Does anyone know of a way to tell the cubed player which folders to look for music in? It keeps pulling in game sounds from sniper vs sniper....
Do we have a webplayer app on the XOOM? I clicked a link on tweetdeck and was brought to a mobile looking Youtube page. I clicked the video and watching an HD looking YouTube video but it looked like something I have seen on Android, perhaps the HTC Web Player. Actually I think it was the webplayer that was included by default on the ViewSonic G-Tablet that played TVersity html streams in amazing detail.
I want to know what this player is because it looks friggin amazing.
The above picture is a video link. I don't know how else to embed it.
I just downloaded mobo player and the codec file for it. I wanted to play video's directly on the internet on my xoom. I thought downloading this would help me but video's are still not playing?
I do not understand the media directory thing is there anything I am missing.
I picked media directory to be my downloads in my Astro file. This is right out of the box. I have done nothing to unlock or root this device.
Can anyone please explain to me what I need to do to play video's from a web page on the net. For example I went to a site for Las Vegas wanted to play video of Terry Feder show would not play?
I'm pretty good at following directions. I understand PC very well just learning about cell phones and tablets.
I only downloaded the codec file because the video still wasn't playing.
I do not want to do anything that will mess up my xoom?
Sorry I think I should have posted this in questions forum.
Did you try tapping and holding the video you want to play then selecting soft decoding? You have to do that to a large majority of videos for the xoom.
Yes I did. When the video appears on the screen there is a small blue dice in the center with a ? on it. There seems to be lots of videos that won't play. Is there anything in the codec file that I need to change. I saw the soft decoding for one of the video extensions?
Just found something that says default using soft decoding in settings I checked it. Still no luck. You tube videos play fine
When I tap the video the screen turns light blue but nothing comes up and their are no options available to select.
you said your trying to play videos from a site. What site and what video format? Link?
Go to metacafe.com any video it does not work. That is just one of the sites. I cannot tell what the video format is? How can i see that. On the right hand bottom of my screen it says autoplay ON. I do not know if that is from Mobo app or something else.
took a spin around the world wide web and seems the videos on your site metacafe are FLV files.
go to the market.. install one of these in the list and see if any will work.
not sure which ones are compatible with the xoom so just go in and check on the tech details. better yet go there with your xoom so it will filter out which ones will work.
you can also just search "flv player" w/o quotes in the market and see what you come up with.
https://market.android.com/search?q=flv+player&so=1&c=apps
That site seems to use a bunch of different kinds of video. Hulu videos wont work, but the flash videos will if you install flash, obviously. Moboplayer is for mp4, avi, mpeg, and other types of video commonly not found streaming on websites.
Just called Motorola and figured out that Flash Player needed to be downloaded. Do I feel stupid. I thought it came with it and was on it when I got it. I then went back to the site and the video played.
Do you think MoboPlayer will interfere with anything on my tablet. Should I remove it?
Or should I leave it. Don't even know if it works on the xoom. It did not work to get the FLV file working that is supports. Any input would be appreciated.
keep it. it can play other movie formats.

amazing that an XDA member of a xoom tablet has not heard about moboplayer. thats wild.. rockplayer is made by the same dev that made moboplayer. mobo player is a really great video app! a must have..
