Hi all!
I've bought a Nexus 7 for my mom.
Now I've installed Dice player in order to play video files such as .mkv with subs. And, it actually works pretty well.
But then I noticed that, once it's been installed, you can open 'Google Play Movies' and open a video file with the video player you've installed (Dice Player in my case). If I do so, the file opens but it plays slow. The thing is that I would like to use Google Play Movies because it seems easier for my mom (and it looks very good IMHO).
Summarizing, I can watch videos fine if I open Dice player but I cannot watch videos properly if I open the file with Dice Player through Google Play Movies.
Any ideas how to fix this?
PD: It's a Google Nexus 7 vanilla, I mean not rooted or with another ROM.
Try clearing default in settings-apps-dice player. Or even clear the data there besides clearing default. Then open Google play movies again and see if it will ask you again for a player you want to use as default.

Nah. I removed the data from DICE Player and Google Play Movies but it's the same.

I've been searching for a great video player for the TMO TP2 but some don't do it for me. Is there a way to set the installed video player that plays the Youtube to play all video including streaming. It might not have all codes to handle every media type but maybe there is a hack or cab to solve this waste of a great player.
Yea i love that player too. the only way i can watch the movies on my media card with that player is by going into the media album and when i open a video from there it uses the youtube player. would love to watch streaming videos with it as well.
How do I get to the other video player? Everytime I open a video file it opens with wmp. Ive been searching for a free good video player to play all my files.
I buy Downloadable videos from Amazon pretty often and they are in wmv format. I already know It doesn't work with the video player, so I tried others like Rock player. But when I tried playing it, it shows me a mess of colors and no sound. Also I tried to Play another wmv file and got the video to play but got no sound. Does anyone know of a better video player replacement other than rock player that will play files like these with success? Or maybe even a way to get Amazon videos to play On android?
Does anybody know if the xoom has limits on to what type of videos it can play?
I have the xoom and galaxy tab and had due date in avi format and played great on my tab
But when I load it on my xoom won't play for some reason
You should be able to play that file in rockplayer or a similar app. Natively i am not sure if the xoom can play avi files.
thanks that worked tried other players and they wouldn't play
Completly forgot about rock player
One of the main reason's I bought my TF was to watch movies on airplanes. I put a handful of movies on my SD card, popped it in, and some of them don't play at all and some only play sound but no video.
Is there some kind of file type I need to use to watch movies? Is there a suggested movie player? I'm using Act 1.
I used Vplayer unlock version to play mp4 movies for my recent trip to Korea w/o any problem.Maybe you can try the Vplayer free version from the Market.
I use handbrake as per the thread below to encode and the movies play great.

I use the default video player.
Vplayer seems to be playing all my movies. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've got rockplayer on mine it's running anything and everything I throw at it as well.
MoboPlayer is another alternative
VPlayer, Mobo Player, Rock Player are all essentially the same thing.
They use a software foundation called ffmpeg to decode more video formats than the built in video player can handle. While they will all play most anything, they use your CPU to do the work rather than the much more efficient GPU.
Basically, if it plays in the stock video player, use that, otherwise use whichever V/Mobo/Rock player you want.

One of the main reasons I bought the Nexus Player was so I can watch videos from my network hard drive. I have been doing this in the past with my WD TV Live but it's now very slow although still does the job well.
I just got the Nexus Player today but after playing around a little I finally figured out I can access my network hard drive with ES File Explorer, although it's a little cumbersome, and load the videos there. However, the built-in media player along with Archo and MX all can not play audio from MKV files. VLC was able to play audio from MKV files but for some reason it refuse to load external subtitle files, only those built-in to the MKV file.
Anyone have any suggestions to alternatives? On my Nexus 9 I use BS Player to both access my videos on my network hard drive and watch but unfortunately it isn't available for the Nexus Player AFAIK.
Thanks in advance.
Kodi is in the Play Store now, it works quite well as UpNP.
My main solution for this issue in my house is to install Plex on my server and pay for the 5 bucks for the Plex app on the TV.
Also after you do this you can set an external player (like MX player) to be the player instead of Plex.
MX has been playing MKV files for me after You turn on hardware+ encoder.
Thanks for the replies.
After trying a few apps, I ended up using Archos Player with the extra codecs, all free. Essentially it works like BSPlayer like I'm used to and works perfectly. :good:
