I have MX Video Player on my Note. When I tried playing avi movies, i get stuck in the middle after going back to the player.
Example: I am playing Big Bang Theory avi on MX Video Player, I browsed the movie via ES File Explorer and played thru there. After let's say a few minutes of watching, I click the back button several times until i am now at my home screen. After a few minutes of doing nothing (screen switched off), i went again to file explorer to find the avi file i watched before (in my MX video player, it continues the movie where you stopped), when I clicked the avi file, it gets stuck, I cannot do anything but to long press the power button and restart my phone.
I am experiencing this problem with 4 episodes now of big bang avi files. I tried playing other files like mp4 and i have no problem with the continuation of the movie. This mp4 movie is 2.5gb worth while the avi files are less then 300mb. So i guess it is not a file size issue.
To further filter out the problem, i tried to paste this same avi files in my internal storage and same thing happened. It still get stuck. So internal or external storage are out of the question.
What is the problem then?
Thanks!
I think maybe there is an error on the file, i have no problems with any hd video on mkv, mp4 or avi on Mx Video
sounds like bad files, you could walys try a different player such as dice player to see if it does it with that
Sometimes it loads well but most of the time it gets stuck. I thought if i played it directly on mx video instead of browsing it in es file explorer the problem would be resolved but same issue persists. I will try other players. Would you recommend any other than dice? I will try that one as well.

Mobo Player its as good as MX
I use MX player and havent struck any issues with it yet. Could it be dodgy encoding of the files?
I tried mobo player and i haven't encountered my note getting stuck.
What i should do next is to try another avi file, maybe the big bang theory files have bad parts.
Thanks.

I found dice player free version to be the best. Some files audio was not playing on mxplayer pro or I would need to select software encoding etc, sometimes should get audio lag but with dice player same files would play without issues without needing to select software encoding etc. would have bought pro version but no longer available on market.
Moboplayer plays everything. If some files don't work then put the software rendering on.

I've tried:
.mpg
.avi
.wmv
none work, using the stock movie player, rockplayer AND vplayer or whatever it is.
Using software and hardware codec.
Do I need some kind of codec to play videos? This is ANNOYING
Anyone have a small video they know works I can troubleshoot with?
If it helps, I converted my wmv files into mp4 format and it works.
^ or try using moboplayer
With Rockplayer, When you load it up, instead of picking an option just wait a few seconds and see it plays. If you don't select it autoselects a codec. Seems to work ok over here.
+1 on MoboPlayer
mobo worked, thanks guys
i have played avi with rockplayer
Anyone struck this hurdle yet ?
Got my tab all set up yesterday... charged it over night, played with it today... thought, right... about to go to bed, might load up a few videos to watch...
Well... I think i was expecting to much for it to play anything out of the box when i went looking for the video player app and there isnt one. You can open files in Gallery... but there is another issue... divx/xvid files with avi extensions do not even show up as being on the device. MKV files do. And they play... all be it with no sound. This started me on a quest... over to the Xoom forums to have a look at those guys... download all of their suggestions... Ok, got the divx sorted. every video player i downloaded would play divx/xvid files with ease. no surprise there... still no files showing up in gallery...
The closest i got to playing a 720p mkv file was with rockplayer... but i ran into the similar issues with rockplayer. when i used it to play the mkv files, if i used hardware decoding, crystal clear picture... no sound. If i used software decoding, sound works... but now the picture it all chopped up and way out of sync...
For the moment it looks like it's back to encoding the mkv files back to xvid... As for this device being able to play 1080p video... i wont hold my breath. From what i have seen of how it plays 720p, it may come in the next update, but for now it even appears to be struggling to play 720p let alone 1080p...
Any ideas, tips or trick you have found that works for playing different video types???
I'm using MoboPlayer which downloads the needed codecs from the Android Market. Tried both divx and xvid, works great.
Also using rockplayer. Will try mobo.

I've also tried QQPlayer which isn't bad and Vital Player, which so far seems to be the smoothest player I've used so far.
I haven't tried mobo yet though.
mobo rulles
no suggestions on MKV yet ??

MoboPlayer is supposed to support the mkv container format (haven't tried myself).
Quote from MoboPlayer official site:
"The current Mobo version will not support mkv, mov container format which have built-in subtitle streams, but we will complete this feature as soon as possible."
So, it supports MKV as long as it doesn't contain built-in subtitles. I will try it later tonight and report the results.
mVideoPlayer: mkv + subtitle
Mobo player plays .mkv incl. streams. That is ofc on a Galaxy S phone. On a tegra 2, device as far as I have read, there isn't much luck plying .mkv files as the soc doesn't support them. Go figure.
I am unable to play any MP4 videos on the Thrive at all . I have tried the MX player with the codec that it has you download along with the built-in player and they all just hang, any suggestions?
Try pressing and holding on the video to bring up the pop up menu and select software decoding (I think that is what it is) and then playing the video. You can also try Mobo Player.
I used HandBrake for video conversion to watch on my Droid Incredible. I just copied those over to my Thrive and they work great with the native Toshiba player.

I am looking for a good video player and have tried the following -
Mobo Player
MX Player
I have had great luck with Mobo Player on my HTC Droid Inc but it seems to lockup on my Nexus 7. So right now it seems MX Player is working the best on the Nex 7
Has anyone found one any better than the two I have listed?
Take care and thank a Vet for his/her service to our country.
I tried Mobo, MX, VPlayer and a few others, but BSPlayer is the hands down winner for me. I like the interface, and it has played my vids perfectly. MX player was good I thought, but when I played an mkv I had to set audio to software decode - BS Player seems to handle everything in HW.

Dice and the tegra2 plugin have always been the best for me on the prime and the nexus.

BSPlayer for me as well. I love MXPlayer too but this one just plays every damn file I throw at it.
I found that BS Player is the *only* player that can play a video I use to test devices normally (AVC-1 (H264 1080p) and DTS 5.1 audio). VLC can play it fine on my Galaxy Note, but it can't do hardware decoding on the 7. Likewise, it crashes at generating a thumbnail for that same video.
I also like using Rockplayer Lite, I've yet to find something it can't play.
I use Mobo player with the new update they came out with for the Nexus 7 video plays fine.
havent gotten my nexus 7 yet but maybe vlc beta might work on it.
Voting for mx player.
What's the harm is running software mode? I have yet to play a video that causes slow down. Plus you can ramp up the volume more in software mode.
For everyone using BSPlayer, is it necessary to install one of the CPU support addons?
Another vote for bs player. Only concern is incapacity to lock screen rotation.

To be honest I don't remember, I don't think it did, but as I was trying a good few players at the time I forget exactly which did and which didn't. I don't have any codec listed in my applications list, but being totally new to Android I don't know if a codec would show up in this list. There is a free trial version, definitely worth a try imho.
Mx player was the only for me that used subtitles correctly and it works for every video file I use for it!
Mostly i'm using dice player or mx player for files on the device. Like the look of vlc but too buggy at the moment to really be usable for me.
Use plex for streaming but considering switching to bubble upnp as library browsing is faster and it sees my existing plex server.

I'm using MX Player Pro, and as far as I know it uses ffmpeg as a base, so once there is a Tegra3 add-on, I expect more files will work with HW decoding.
A lot of my older files avi/mkv/mpg/mov random bit rates and codecs, still plays them, but HW is usually disabled, or plays video but no sound. The SW decoder has played literally every file I've thrown at it, and does it pretty well, although SW fast mode is fugly.
New files using h264 etc, hardware decoding kicks in, and after watching a dozen or so episodes, it appears when it uses hw, its not as much of a drain on my battery.

ffmpeg tegra2 add-on does not affect MX player's HW accelerations. It is used by SW player.
MX can help SW audio track playback.
But Diceplayer accelerated H.264/MPEG-4 video without container/transport limitations.
If you want to play 1080p/QuickTime movie trailers , MX can not take advantage of HW video decoder, but diceplayer can do it.
I've been experimenting with this. I just want to navigate to a shared video folder on my Windows LAN, and play from there. I don't want to install server software on the PC. I have 2 file managers (ES File Manager, and File Manager HD). With File Manager HD, it wants to download the file first...so I think I will be getting rid of that. ES File Manager works, but when I right click and Open AS>Video, my drop down list only includes BSPlayer, ES Video Player, and the Android stock Video Player...no MXPlayer Pro. How do I get it in the list?
Secondly, BS Player has a network browser built in, which works great. It'll even add all the .vob files in a DVD folder. It won't use hardware decoding for the .vob files though, only software. I tried forcing it in the options by adding "vob," (V-O-B-Comma) to the decoder list, but it still plays in software.
Any idea on how to add MXPlayer Pro to the video players list in ES File Manager, and how to play DVD files in hardware?
Thanks,
RF
Diceplayer support Pop-up play!
Diceplayer 2.0.10 support pop-up play.
You can enjoy video on any applications like messaging and web.

On dice, you can browse network connections and play video over SMB from your PC or NAS.
As titled, the video player on my note 3 doesnt play some video files properly. It just plays the sound of the file but doesnt show the video.
This is weird because these files played fine on my note 2 previously.
Please help thanks!

The new versions of MX player dont need the codecs.
Simply install.
Go to Settings > Decoder > enable HW+
Even without enabling its one of the best apps ul find for video playback
It has gestures, as well as keeping track of the position you stopped at

Or just use VLC or Dice Player, those play everything.
MX doesn't play certain audio codecs because of copyright issues.

And yet it plays a heap of videos with sound in software decoding that other players won't...
I tend to use 3 players for allround coverage. I've only ever found 1 or 2 things that don't play and that was because of encoding errors...

Yes, same here. I have VLC, Dice, MX and Archos installed. Mostly I use DICE because of the 400% volume boost and the fact I have yet to find a file it can't play. (And I download, so.. loads of different formats.) VLC secondary, MX is usually my 'If it really doesn't work, might as well try it' one, as it usually crashes on the files the others can't play.
VLC plays literally everything.
Worst videoplayer ever is Stock... I've seen Windows Media Player do a better job...
It seems that there is no correct video codec on your devices to afford AVI videos. Have a try to encode AVI into MP4 format.
