moboplayer - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

has anyone had any luck with moboplayer? it dioesnt find the codec on the play store, and i cannot access the .mobo folder in the sdcard to manually install the codec.
edit - moved the files appropriately through the computer, still not working. getting the same "download the codec" screen.

I didnt go through that much trouble but it wont work for me either. It was my favorite player!!!! MX player works well, but the on screen buttons dont disappear.. just darken so what feels like a lot of the 7 inch screen is taken up

You and I have done the same things... no love over here, either. Guess I'll have to look for a replacement. :thumbdown:

Think its broken for Jelly Bean currently, no luck on my Gnex either.

what about rockplayer? does that work?

Threads about apps go in the Themes & Apps section

I've always stuck with Dice Player, plays every video file perfectly and its also working on JB.

No luck here either. I tried BSPlayer and it's not bad. MX Video Player is ok but had trouble with an AVI. Dice Player has replaced them all for me now.

Did anyone try bsplayer? Works great on my GNex especially streaming over Samba.

Has anyone tried VLC?

Use search. There is already a thread about this.

Uploading a ripped movie is illegal and that is not allowed on this site. Search some torrent sites if you want that. Or do some research and learn how to convert it yourself.... which is your best option.

Or failing that, buy a bigger SD card and just put the whole rip on it, like I do.
okay thanks and will it automaticly pick the same video player that transformers pick?

As far as I know, by default Windows Media Player is always selected. But you can download Coreplayer, TCPMP or another and associate .AVI, .WMV etc files with that player and use it as defualt.
Alternitively, just open another player and open the video in that player.
ok last question what player does transformers use

Any player, surely. Although I am sure Windows Media Player won't have the codecs to play a ripped film.
Download TCPMP, it's a very good free media player, it will play all of your films and videos without any problem.
just tried to play transformers on that and it sucked

Hmmm, works just fine for me, Coreplayer is my default media player which is pretty much the same as TCPMP
Since I don't have my hands on the Tmous HD2. Could you tell me what is the name of the player that it uses to play movies? ie: Transformers.
He hasn't set up TCPMP correctly. It does play like crap until you set it up.
Use the settings in this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5318575&postcount=18
Please read it carefully and use them all. If you only set some of them then TCPMP/CorePlayer will probably just hang.
okay........ transformers plays with htc album

Getting really annoyed

After trying and failing to get xvid and divx codec movies to reliably play on Coreplayer or TCPMP, I decided to find a good converter, and used WinMenc to convert the files to .mp4 x264 format so I can play it natively on the device using the Windows Media Player built in, HOWEVER the Media Player looks like it;s going to load the videos, i.e. showed 'Loading...' with the white circle, but then it never moves on. The device is not crashed, as I can just exit out, but the movies will not play even in a format that the HD2 recognises. This is really annoying the hell out of me now, as all I want to do is play video on my phone, not really asking a great deal.
Has anyone got any advice for fixing this problem with Media Player 'getting stuck'? Cheers
Any ideas? Can WMP even be reinstalled or repaired? Seems a bit strange for an app native to the device to just not work.
what settings did you use for the encoding?
also, see kr00t0n's profile for winMenc, its the best soloution ive found IMHO
did u try this?

Yeah I'm using his HD2 profile buddy, saved as an .ini.
I think it's WMP to be honest, as it does the same on any .mp4. Currently, I can only get a very small number of films to run through TCPMP, but I can't identify what's causing them to work/not work. But WMP does not work at all!
I'm wondering if a hard reset might work on it. I'm getting seriously fed up with my HD2 though, far too many things wrong with it. I'm starting to think about flogging it now.

I converted a few films with a crappy free verison of some software can't remember the name tho. So far all have worked on all the media players I have used WMP, TCPMP and Core player. Are you on a custom ROM? Not sure if certain ROMS may have bugs in causing this.

I've used the normal HTC ROM and Artemis ROM, happens on both. I've tried all sorts of conversion software. Nothing ever seems to reliably play.

MP4 on Xoom?

Anyone know of a program that will play MP4 video files on the Xoom? All my video files are in the format and I'd prefer not to convert them all when I put them on the Xoom.
I couldn't find the VLC Media Player for Android...
Any suggestions?

Not for me. It plays the movie choppy and the volume sounds like a voice changer on a bad horror movie.
Comical... but not watchable.

Make sure you are using the universal one, not one for a specific device.

Yeah I tried the Universal one and hardware decoding. No luck still.
i have a question.....how are you guys transferring your files over to the xoom? i tried to drag and drop an mp4 to mine but i get an error message saying "this type of file is not supported on this device". is there something i'm missing.

Ignore it.
I thought mp4 was a supported android format? What format is needed for HD playback via the xoom's video player?

You get the same error transferring mp3...think it's because of the way the pc sees the xoom. Just hit ignore.

there is no ignore option....i only get "skip, skip all or cancel", no matter what i choose it doesn't transfer the file. i can transfer mp3's fine but no type of video file will transfer. i'm pretty stuck right now.

This is what i get, i just hit yes and they play fine.
you can also try arc media from the android marketplace.
No special player needed. I just use root explorer, select the movie and it just plays... Natively...

Try renaming the file .zip then rename after the copy.
no luck renaming it zip.....i had to rename it .mp3 and it allowed the transfer. i renamed it back to mp4 but the video is choppy. i'm using rockplayer lite from the app market for now.
Can't you guys just open the movie in the Gallery and have it play using the built in video player?

I haven't found a single video player app in the market that work properly and I tried vplayer, Rockplayer and another one, I think it was called qqplayer.. The native player will recognize and play MKV but no sound and very choppy. I successfully played a couple of MP4 files though. Tried an AVI and it gave me the same error message and even though I got is copied to the Xoom, it never showed up in the Gallery.

MOBO I use it works very well and is available on the MARKET

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.

All share port?

Just wondering if anyone has tried too port the all share app from the gingerbread Rom on the galaxy tab so it can be used on a custom Rom like cm9 or 10.
I have tried just pulling the apk and installing on jelly bean but wouldn't work. I know there are tried par dlna apps from the market but they don't work as smooth as Samsung's all share.
Anyone have any ideas on porting this over to any Rom, or what media sharing app do you use that seems to work well?

Which video player do you use with this? I tried MX Player but it doesnt seem to play any of my movies. Not sure if it is a CM10 Jelly Bean issue or issue with BubbleUPNP. MX Player use to work on CM9, so not sure what is going on.

Im using bsplayer on cm10 eighties and it works fine, 720p files play no problem. How are you streaming content?
I am using ps3mediaserver on my media pc which, after adding the necessary folders to share, does all the necessary coding needed.
