playing mp4 files - Windows 8 General

I have some mp4 files(movies 1080p) that worked fine on Windows 8.
Now I have windows 8.1 and my files won't play in WMP, nor the metro version called "media player" and it causes Itunes to crash.
I had win 8, upgrades to preview, then to 8.1
Any help would be appreciated.
it sounds like a codec problem, but wouldn't windows 8.1 already have the codecs for mp4

Have u tried VLC media player?

No I haven't.
My end goal is to steam the mp4 using iTunes to my 2nd gen apple TV
It's really weird that it would randomly stop working

thanks. is there anyone else that has tried and succeeded to play avi files on WP7?
This is one of the reasons not to switch to WP7. The other one is lack of a decent navigation program.
So then are there any programs in the WP7 app store that can play AVI's ???

i dont think so. Zune can transcode it. Zune convert it when you sync. But you cant open avi files.
In the wm6.5 you can play avi files in HD2 ??? I think cant. So convert him to mp4.

That would I also like to know.
Edit: Mostly for the .sub files. I have tried Mobo, Rock, QQ, and Vitalplayer and none of them supports .sub files as far as I can see.
I use rockplayer for my series n movies, srt files are working well.
Yes +1 for the mobo player.
I use dvd Fab for all my movies,it also gives you the option to hard encode subtitles in the movie file.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I can confirm Moboplayer supports SRT subtitles. As best I can tell, it looks at your video's filename, and then looks for the same filename except ending in .SRT. ALL CAPS file extention was the only way I could get it to work. Good luck!

Try Mx player from market. It has an option to play in full screen and also to employ hardware acceleration /software acceleration.

dice player is good too!! give it ago!
If you get Freemaker video converter, which is free, for your PC you can convert your videos.
I use Act 1 Video player because it let's you zoom the size.
Qq player work great

mx video player. Avi file with srt greek subs. works perfect.
another person for mx player
I've tried about every player available -- BSPlyer Lite, VPlayer, MoboPlayer. MX Player is all around the best - the only player that streams avi movies from SMB share (used with FS File Explorer). I also like MoboPlayer.
I believe the best player for Tegra 2 is DicePlayer - paid ARM 7. It sucks that the paid version is not available and who knows, may never be available from Android Market. VLC is still in beta - looking forward to that one!
Does anyone know what's going on with Dice? Seems like they pissed someone at Google off...
+1 to MX Player, plays everything I have thrown at it, if not in H/W then in S/W mode. Loads subs, dims buttons and resumes play even from LAN.

Mp4/m4v videos on android?

Is there a way to play mp4 and m4v videos on android? If so how?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
if the file doesn't play natively, you can always convert them using a program like handbrake.
Mx video player
Mx player works great for the videos ive ripped. What can I use to play or remove the drm from videos i've d/l from itunes?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
There is no hack for drm (not to mention that to post one here or anywhere else would be highly illegal). My only suggestion is to sign up for Netflix and play your Apple videos on an iPod Touch.

Does any1 know if nexus 7 support avi/flv/wmv? i have alot of avi movies and i was wondering if i need to convert them all into mp4 or is there an easier way like installing codec or certain type of players on google playstore?
I dont have the tablet yet but will get it end of this week. i was wondering what my options are so I can prepare for it. Thanks in advance
I've played avi, mp4 and mkv formats on it so I know it supports those. That was through MX Player though

Just install dice player from play store. It will play avi fine

Seems not easy to play AVI/WMV/FLV on Nexus 7 directly. Although, I have MX Player/Dice installed, but having a problem since a few of AVI files won’t play. I searched widely try to find the solution. How to import and play AVI movie files on Nexus 7 is the solution I've found and tried, which helped me resolve the AVI to Nexus 7 issues.

I am curious what .avi files Mx Player fails on for you. It works on every movie I own.
Also - report any failures to the Mx Player author.
There is also "mobo player" wich works exellent for me.

[Q] Streaming media from iMac to Ativ Smart PC?

So basically, all i want to do is stream my mkv's to my windows 8 tablet.
Would be awesome if there was a plex client in development for the store. I did try an app called media8? But has limited file/codec support (but did detect my plex media server).
Anyone have any suggestions?
