Hi, i've just ran into a bit of a problem. I was planning to watch Avatar (1080p) (.mkv format it is in) on my Nexus 7 to see how well it would cope. I started using mxplayer but it had no sound, dice player would play the movie so i then use BSplayer FREE and it worked. Job done. Until i found that i forgot to enable subtitles for the na'vi speech so i could understand. In BSplayer Free when i press in the top right, then select subtitle, then select active subtitle it doesnt find any, but when i use my computer there are 3 subtitle tracks within the video. I've also tried putting the .srt file in the same place, called the same as the movie, but it still wont find it.
Any ideas?
Try Moboplayer?

Moboplayer is laggy and doesnt play the sound. Wont use hardware decoding, attempts to use software decoding and sucks. Bad.
Vplayer Terrible lag.
QQ player Terrible lag.
It seems that only MXplayer and BSplayer play it fine, but MXplayer has no sound. Oh, forgot to mention that Mobo player found the 3 subtitle sets fine so it has to be the apps >.>
did you try SW decoding for MX?
Also, the full version of DICE player was made free last week. There is an option to manually select your sub file.

Dice player (yes i got the full one) says "sorry, this video cannot be played"
In MXplayer i get the 2 S/W options S/W and S/W fast. Both laggy and no sound. Going to try another method of coding the subtitles to the film.

MX player works beautifully for me.. no lag at all
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
MX works perfectly for me, just remember to keep it set to S/W mode and not S/W(Fast mode).
hmm. That sucks. I haven't run into the AC3/Tegra issue yet as SW mode has been able to handle my files, but I've only tested 720p stuff for MKV. 1080 MP4 was fine.
I'll check if I have any 1080p MKVs later tonight. I have a feeling most if not all my 1080 stuff is mp4 though. I really try and avoid MKV since it's a PITA for 360/PS3 and i've never gotten those "on the fly" converting media servers to work. Curse you MKV!

11gb of download son, glad my internet recently got buffed for free though!
At the minute using mkvmerge and Avidemux to see if either will hardcore them into the video itself properly and not softcode.
I spent almost 45minutes today getting the subtitles to match up with my copy of the film. Really frustrating getting that to work properly.

you should use custom plugin and libffmpeg.so on sdcard.
it may be a DTS issues.

Fixed it, by default subtitles are disabled in BSplayer, for whatever reason that is, and then it worked :/ I had to spend ages altering the timing of subtitles though as the subtitles werent the ones for the copy i had Works fine now.

I'm a bit disappointed with the mplayer. I have several clips which I could play with the Toshiba Mediaplayer and these did not work very well in the mplayer.
I should mention that the clips were 720p and 1080p, but when played with the Toshiba Mediaplayer (which use hardware acceleration) the Folio plays them without breaking any sweat.
I think we have to wait for a video player that use the Tegra 2 hardware instead of using the CPU to decode mkv.
Yes, I did some testing myself and I was disappointed with the quality. Normal SD AVIs from web were pixelized. There was no antialias or smoothing. The pixels of video were just magnified.
Rockplayer with HW support produced much better output.
Maybe for some formats not supported with rockplayer. Lets hope that in some future release it would be better. I didn't make any changes into config file maybe if I applied some filters, the result would be different.

Did you use a usb disk to play the clips from or did you try from a UPnP server? I am asking because I haven't been able to play any mkv from wifi connection with clips on my nas as the toshiba player always crashes

It's not possible to play mkv-files with the Toshiba Mediaplayer.
The clips I played are either in MOV or MP4-format.

I haven't managed to get any player to play HD x264 mkv's properly. Mostly they don't even start or are just really choppy. Some have options for HW/SW decoding, but still nothing.
Tested so far (latest versions): Vitalplayer, Vplayer, Yxplayer, Rockplayer, Act1 player, Default gallery, ES file manager movie player.
Any suggestions? Running Foliomod 1.3d

No not at the moment, but there are a few which in time could be intresting.
CorePlayer is one that I think will be able to play MKV, this due to the fact that they have their own codecs which are very effective and they use the hardware better. But its awfully quiet in the CoreCodec Forum.
They showed of their Android CorePlayer at CES in January.
Another one is the Video Player for the LG Optimus 2x which should support playing MKV in 1080p using the Tegra hardware. The problem here is to port the application to our Folio which has not been that successful. But this is something that could change over time.
More and more manufacturers are using the Tegra platform so I think it's just a matter of time before we se MKV support i several of them and perhaps they could be ported to our Folio.
As mentioned before you could use the MOV format and play video in 1080p without any problem using the Toshiba Media Player or the video player which comes with the Gallery.
But you would probably need to convert your video-files to the Mov format and that is one thing that I for one find a bit tedious.

Yeah, that's not an option =) I'll just wait or sell the Folio for another Tegra 2 device probably. Thanks!
Using FolioMod 1.4 and the Toshiba Media Player I can play MKV (720p, [email protected]) with almost the right speed. So there must be room for other improvements.
I really don't want to transcode every episode of all series.
Don't have any problems with quick rewrite to another container format (mp4, m4v), because this is fast and I need to get rid of AC3 in favor of ACC, otherwise no sound
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.
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA App
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.

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.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a media player for the TF? I would love it if it did the following:
Hides the taskbar - most important
Plays most common codecs - very important
Uses the docking station controls - important
Gesture controls - not too important
I downloaded MoboPlayer and it is great with the exception of not hiding the task bar. QQ Player for some reason is laggy on a 480 DiVX rip I made, but MoboPlayer is silky smooth.
To answer my own questions:
* There is currently no media player that removes the honeycomb taskbar
* I have yet to find a media player that uses the docking station controls other than the default
I guess I'll keep MoboPlayer until something better comes along.

My issuw with moboplayer is that it dowsntfollow the system rotation. Ie using the Asus case, sometimes the image is upside down depending on how you place it.

rooted with you can at least get back the stock hc buttons. the white ones are too harsh and distract me when reading or watching movies. not a perfect solution but better than those frikken bright icons.
I have found moboplayer to be the best one so far. Vplayer advnace following second
does mobo player plays formats like mkv with subtitles in srt extension , avi and original dvd untouched rips?
I can confirm avi - no problems.
Mkv - well, high profile h264 is very slow. I didn't try subtitles.
The quality is somewhat strange, I noticed a strange grid of pixels on the video. I'll check if it's on every one. Also HDMI quality is very poor (looks like 256 colours).

Does anyone know if you can play the subtitles on the hdmi output screen when i have downloaded the .srt seperatly (so not with burnin option from handbrake).
Very anoying that the subtitle plays on the screen of the tablet!
I tried moboplayer and rockplayer at first. And i managed to play MKV's smoothly, but only when started from the gallery. When I open the same mkv directly from moboplayer or rockplayer the movie didn't play smooth at all. So I tried mVideoPlayer. After i installed mVideoPlayer my mkv's play smooth anyway I open them. The best part is that the stockplayer plays MKV's as well after installing mVideoPlayer (but doesn't have support for subtitles).
But the main problem is that most mkv's have 5.1 sound, this is not supported, you can convert the soundtrack with mkvavi2mp4 or convert the whole movie with handbrake (takes a lot longer).
stuttering rubbish
Hi, whats the best settings to use in Handbrake for this device, I have an SGS2 and it plays 720 and 1080 content fine (HW decoding?) but as soon as I stick the same vids on the TF its appalling.. any tips what settings to use I am thinking of sending it back and waiting for something with a decent video player as I am not impressed my phone does a better job..
Found the settings in a differenmt thread, will try
I like Moboplayer but it does not play AVI files correctly, so I ended up installing QQPlayer as well.
QQPlayer does not play the AVI as smooth as Moboplayer but it displays the video in the correct color.
Anybody that knows which player that can play AVI file smoothly, I would appreciate the input. My AVI files are mainly captured from my Canon camera.
I know I can convert it to MP4, but this is not practical when we on the road.
quick question
whats the Best format to use for playing videos on the transformer, at what resolution, and whats a good piece of software to re encode existing movies to this format.
thanks!
Does anybody else here watch downloaded videos directly off the LAN? i can't get the video to play cleanly. I get about 1 frame every two seconds.
Streaming from my network works great to the ps3 and the tv, and the Gtab plays my videos smoothly when they are copied to its internal memory, so i'm struggling to figure out why i cant play these vids on my tab from the network. Throughput does not seem to be the problem either as the files copy onto the tab at 20Mb/s.
I have tried selecting the videos via an SMB share in ES and any DLNA media player, the results are the same.
Does anybody have this working properly ?
I use bsplayer from market and have no issues. Everything up to 720p plays.
Use Qloud bro, stream at 2048mbps.
Not sure why yours isn't working. I just tested playing some of my TV show downloads from EZTV off of a shared folder on my windows 7 PC using Moboplayer and it worked fine. Movie rips that I encode specifically for my tab play fine in stock video player over wifi as well.
Your streaming to other devices is over wifi as well?
yeah, streaming to every other device is fine, thats why i cant figure out the problem.
Seeing as you all have it working ok i'm going to keep trying different things.

I had all the problems you described too, just tried Qloud based on someone's recommendations in this thread, and that is the only one that works without stopping every few frames
Has to be something else since other such as myself are able to play things just fine with other applications. As I've started both the stock video player and moboplayer are working for me. I have mobo set up to default to software decoding which gives me smooth playback of TV show downloads from eztv. For my bluray rips the stock player works fine.
Out of curiosity what kind of wifi security are you running?
WPA2 on a Linksys E3200 but i doubt that should matter.
Tried Qloud too but my NAS requires usr/pass to connect. Qloud does not support that.

This should solve your problem. Try Moboplayer and set it to software decoding in the settings. That works for xvid HDTV shows, 720p will most likely not work with software decoding.
Yep, only other thing I'd look at is the way the videos are encoded. As gokpog stated for stuff like xvid rips software mode in mobo works great at long as the resolution and bitrate is manageable. For h.264 stuff baseline rips with no bframes work for me at 720p. If not that then im at a loss as to what to suspect next.

Of course. Sorry i missed that one.
Playing my videos off network with hardware acceleration turned on gave me the usual 1 frame per second. Turning off hardware acceleration FIXED THE PROBLEM ! My videos now stream perfectly.
I cannot understand why this is the case and dont expect a fix to ever materialise, but damm am i happy
Thanks to all for your help. Now i just have to deal with this bum 3.2 update i installed last last night !
To clarify...
I'm sure this is considered "old" by now as you've resolved this back in November... but I'm unfamiliar with disabling hardware acceleration... I can't seem to find a suitable guide either no matter where I look.
Simply hoping to have the same stroke of luck you were in disabling it for the purpose of streaming video.
Just install MoboPlayer or RockPlayer. Both have hardware acceleration as a checkbox in the options. By default it is on.
Uncheck it and try again.
I use bubbleupnp and bsplayer with accelarated hardwaredecoding. Plays almost anything without problem. In addition I am now able to seek within videos, which is not possible with samsungs allshare-app.

Hi, I just got my galaxy tab 10.1 and all 720p video files (trailers, music videos, movies) I put on it lagg really bad. I tried moboplayer, rockplayer and MX player. Has anyone been able to play a 720p file on it without lagg, and how do you do it? Thanks.
I'd do a search if I was you. there is either bsplayer lite or diceplayer on the market. those play them OK. that's your only choices.
Agreed, Diceplayer works without any lag at all. All my 720p mkv episodes run buttery-smooth.
If you only buy *one* app from the market, make sure it's this one (you also have to install the Diceplayer Tegra 2 plug-in).
yeah diceplayer is good. just that there is only the trial version on market with 3 day trial. waiting for the paid one
Diceplayer is still a little bit laggy. Tegra2 suckz big time btw. My singlecore galaxy s handles all kinds of hd-videos without problems.
Bsplayer works best. Almost no lag.

Thank you! Bsplayer was the only player I found that handled 720p with only a little lag. When I overclocked to 1,4ghz with the task 650 rom the lag was like 99% gone on bsplayer. Tegra 2 did not run 720p videos as good as I thought it would, and I guess battery life while watching hd movies must be pretty bad if it needs 1,4ghz OC to run it smoothly.
Edit: It was only able to play trailers smoothly. When I tried a 720p movie it was really choppy. I think I have dowloaded every video player there is and none actually play 720p mkv movies smoothly at all, even with 1.4ghz OC it doeson't work. If I can't get 720p to work, I think I will return this and get the transformer prime instead.
Threads like this come up every couple of weeks. Yes, hardware accelerated codec support on tegra 2 is limited. Those looking to decode just any old file they get elsewhere should look elsewhere for a device that supports the random codec settings that are found on video and movie "distribution sites". Those who do their own encoding can find encoding settings that provide great playback quality on these devices at 720p resolution.

If you copy files on without file extension (this also allows files greater than 2GB to be transferred) and then use androzip or similar to add .mkv to the files Default video player picks up the files and plays them fine

With "pick up," do you mean adding to the library? Because the files actually are in the library in my case, the player just says the files can't be played.

Sorry, yeah they get added to the library. Must just be the encoding used within the mkv frame in your case. Either audio or Video codec not compatible within the mkv for the Tab. In the case of the 2GB file I was using it's AVC and AAC audio.

Remove the file extension on your computer. This can be achieved by opting to show file extensions, in Windows' folder options. Then, when the files are on your tablet, use a file manager like ASTRO, IO or AndroZip to re-add the extension. That's it. Depending on the video files, this may or may not work.
Here's the answer to you question

The best solution I've found to play 720P locally or stream via SMB is using diceplayer or BSplayer. I use both. Dice Player kinda sucks at skipping timeframe, only great playing 720P video from beginning to end. BSplayer is awesome because I can skip to any and plus it has its own SMB file browser. That alone is not enough though when playing 720P smoothly, you have to overclock it to 1.4Ghz. I'm using Galaxy Task 8.0 ROM and it plays buttery smooth. Use tasker and setcpu to create some custom condition when to overclock. I set condition in tasker to overclock to 1.4Ghz when BSplayer is active and in SetCPU, I set 800mhz when screen is off and set another for 1Ghz when screen is on. Hope that helps. ^^
Don't use Galaxy Task v9 or v10 because I was having WiFi issue, i dont know if its just my tab or not...
1. In Handbrake load your video.
2. Choose the profile for iPad.
3. On the Advanced settings tab unclick "8x8 Transform".
4. This step is optional if you don't really need a 720p video. iPad resolution videos looks exquisite on the Tab anyway.
Resize your video to 1280x720 by clicking on the Picture tab on a Windows machine. Mac users can click the Picture button to change the resolution. Leave all other options intact!
5. Hit convert and wait.
The resulting file will be less than 1GB for a 1h40min video! You can push it with ADB or copy it through MTP without reconversion!
On stock ROM and with Galaxy Task, I've been able to play 720p with no lag using diceplayer with the Tegra2 add-on. No overclocking. I think it's going to depend a lot on how the file was encoded, though. It just happens that I have no problem with the videos I play.
yeah i've been playin with .mkv files on my day old stock rom (but rooted) tab...
my experiences...
transferring 720p mkv via std mtp mount on win7 pc = file copies fine,
1080p mkv wont transfer (it copies for an 1hr, gets to 5 secs to go & fails lol)
stock player can't play mkv for shjt
mx is laggy as hell & hw decoder doesnt work
vplayer does a good enough job with 720p, when using a buffer & hw decoding
i realise there's a lot more to a movie file than its extension... but that's all i realise ;-)
did kinda expect better from the tab tbh... my old cheapa$$ arnova a9 g2 (that i took back to the store & put money too, to get the tab) could play 720p on the stock player.... (exact same files i'm testing on the tab)
i might check out diceplayer that y'all raving about or even BSplayer, my preferred mkv player on my laptop
cheers
