movies - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ive treid 4 different media players and cant find one that will play my movies,ive converted avi-mp4 and back again with still no luck anyone else have this problem,if so did you solve it,love this tablet apart from this problem

Last night I tried an .avi file just for the hell of it, and it didn't work. Was quite surprised actually, but I've yet to try other file types.

Mine play fine. Usedjust about every format. Need to download a good media player that will work with them.
I use vplayer. There are others out there as well.

i use MX Player to play AVI files. it'll play some MKV files too.
but for MP4 and M4V files, the standard Google Play Movies app plays these for me.

Very strange I know. Because my ancient Galaxy S plays most things without the need for 3rd party software.

For future reference you should likely list the apps you tried and as much about the video as you can. Is one of the 4 you tried MXPlayer?

Problems playing avi files?

Transfered a few avi files and the sound is well out of sync tried playing on in built player and real player. Spec does say avi files can be played hence why I've not changed the format. Any ideas?

Download Rockplayer and try that.
yxPlayer should be ok. Didn`t try it yet but heard it is one of the best.

YXPlayer isn't worth the time or effort...... Rockplayer all the way! Imagine TCMP from the WinMo days albeit without the functionality. Plays practically every format you will ever need it to at good framerates.
Regards.
Rock player on software decoder perfect just shame you have to buy it to get rid of nags will test it out before I fork our $9. 99

I tried both the player, I like the quality of vplayer more...the only annoying thing is it go back to home screen after playing the video.....
How is the paid app for vplayer, is there any difference or it is same as trial version...
Ive tried Rockplayer and VPlayer, but although they play most formats they have severe limitations related to power consumption, video stuttering, and general ease of use.
I really recommend arcMedia player. Have beem using this for months with no problems. arcmediasoft.com/arcMedia/index.aspx

You can also try iMPlayer, it's using HW acceleration if video is in the right format. It has only 3.5 stars but it works very well on our DHD.

Lol, I forgot to subscribe my own thread and missed the message by long time....
Anyway right now I am using RockPlayer and it is working fine...at least played all the movies which I threw at it......will try Moboplayer.....from the screenshots UI looks good....
Try MoboPlayer, it has now been released in public, and works very very well
Ya, I tried 2 movies with Moboplayer and they played well... good ui also which is missing in most of the player...

Mobo player is really good. plays nearly all formats and has a really good UI. Vitaplayer also plays most formats but the adds kind off kills it.
I been using Moboplayer for over a day now and it's played everything i can throw at it! I've switched from using RockPlayer now. Thanks to who suggested this player, never cam up when I was looking for a good player.

HD videos on atrix

oK is it just me or we all have the same problem, downloaded HD videos from youtube and it wont play. Anyone??
??? anyone?
Try a different video player. If that doesnt work then there may bot be the correct codec available
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Try Mobo Player. Also, Atrix hasn't had 1080p update from Moto, so if your videos are 1080p they likely won't play if I am thinking correctly.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app
I believe your attempting to play baseline or highline x264. Unfortunately our nvidea chip will not run that. But, I'm not sure if it is a problem that can be fixed through software. Anyone?

i have done some research on this matter, yes the tegra chip won't play any high profile x264 HD movie (either 720p or 1080p). you have to convert it to main profile x264 and it will play fine.
u can try "handbrake" to convert it and our beloved Atrix will play. you can make a google search to see the tutorial for converting using "handbrake"

Try using arc media player, out is available on that market for free. Let me know if out works for you

I have not come across a video, hd or otherwise, that I could not play on my Atrix. If one player doesn't work, I go to another one.
The best player for atrix is moboplayer with codec pack.
I can play most of my movies without problems in HD but I have great news for HD mkv viewer.
Power DVD are developing a application which can play HD mkv movies and more.
I read it on androidpit.de

So I tried mob with all it's codecs avail on the market, also tried arc both of them are lagging as if im playing HD video on some low end cheap phone. Man o man what a disappoinent e'h. So much hype for the qhd but really its crap.
Try it for ur self I downloaded and tried to play transforms 3 trailer and metallicas nothing else matters hd. And they both played like crap. Dunno about you fellas but I never expected these results from my attic they are calling this the most powerful phone.

Another thing you could do which some people have tried is to change the file extension to mp4, which will play with the native player. I think DivX is just a 'container' format which contains MP4 video so it should work in theory, although I haven't tried this on my TF myself.

Tried that, wirh this video specifically it plays the first 3 seconds insanely fast and with no audio and then finally stops playing.

plenty of players out there for DIVX/XVID. I think some manufacturers just bundle extra players or codecs. i dont think support is in 'native' Android.

+1 Rockplayer. They just had a release solving Android 3.1 registration issues, works like a champ!
I'd go with MoboPlayer.

+1 for MoboPlayer, I've found it to be a bit smoother than RockPlayer in my experience. That's just me talking however...
thanks guys... yes moboplayer and rockplayer seem to do the job!

Can anyone test an divx 1080p video? Being software rendered I'm kinda not much confident, i feel it as a workaround rather than a solution...

1080p video encoded using the DivX (or XviD) codec is really inefficient. It's going to be a lot larger file size or of lower quality than a more modern codec like h.264. If you'd like to play 1080p video on your transformer, you'd be best to transcode your video to an h.264 video stream. Not only will the file size be much smaller, but it will play back using hardware acceleration which is much more likely to be smooth than software rendered DivX.
Rockplayer, Moboplayer, etc are all the same thing. They're just containers for ffmpeg--which is the best free software decoder available. Pick the one that has the best interface and is free. Paying for any of these is actually against the law, and while you're not going to get in any trouble, it's stupid to pay for something that should be free.

Video player for 4.3?

After I updated to 4.3, Non of Video players such as MX Player Pro or VLC or Mobo player are working, MX player says unsupported android and VLC just plays Audio for MKV files.
Any suggestions?? Really disappointing

email the developers, let them know that they need to update their apps for android 4.3. if their app users dont tell them, they might not know that it needs an update until much later on.

I have seen in other threads that VLC (nightly) now works with 4.3. The link below says the fixed version it is not yet available on the playstore.
See: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=112549
I'm still holding out for MX Player Pro hoping that it will be fixed before the OTA gets to my machine. The OTA has begun to rollout on Jul 26th late at night on US east coast (Florida was one place mentioned).
Vplayer has 4.3 support, but give it a few days for the rest

video players not working android 4.3
the same happen to me. vlc beta plays only audio but no video, mx player pro unsupported android version. Hopefully they will fix this.
So VLC only plays audio for me, and VPlayer is really really laggy. Like, videos are only showing half of their frames.
Are there any actually functional video players on 4.3 right now?

Guys, sorry to derail this topic, but
How do you send mkv files to the Nexus 4?
When I connect it to my PC there's no option to use it as a traditional drive copy/pasting files from my computer.
Thanks in advance.
