I attempted to add a movie to my Nexus 7 (2012). Using DVD Decrypter I saved the resulting files to the hard drive on my desktop computer. Cyberlink PowerDVD9 played the movie from the hard drive. Especially important to me as I am deaf, the subtitles were there. I then copied the files to my Nexus 7 by USB into the SDcard/Movies folder. I attempted to play the movie. The files are in .VOB format.
Navigating to the files on the Nexus 7 I clicked on the VTS_01_1 file. I chose MX Player from the available list. The movie began playing but couldn't find any subtitles. I tried Mobo Player and BS Player. Mobo Player simply didn't play. BS Player played the video file but said it couldn't find any subtitles. Audio appeared to work.
Perhaps I'm overlooking something simple?

maybe i missed it, but I cannot directly play .mkv files from the stock media player in Omnia i8000. Is there a way to make it compatible? I am currently converting .mkv to .mp4 or .avi to play them on my i8000. BTW this player is really good. no lagging or screen tearing or anything.

i'm also looking for proper mkv player.
TCPMP is very lagging
It would be great if we can play mkv files on TouchPlayer. It is one of the good player for video files, but really frustrating to use with large number of audio files.
I have MX Video Player on my Note. When I tried playing avi movies, i get stuck in the middle after going back to the player.
Example: I am playing Big Bang Theory avi on MX Video Player, I browsed the movie via ES File Explorer and played thru there. After let's say a few minutes of watching, I click the back button several times until i am now at my home screen. After a few minutes of doing nothing (screen switched off), i went again to file explorer to find the avi file i watched before (in my MX video player, it continues the movie where you stopped), when I clicked the avi file, it gets stuck, I cannot do anything but to long press the power button and restart my phone.
I am experiencing this problem with 4 episodes now of big bang avi files. I tried playing other files like mp4 and i have no problem with the continuation of the movie. This mp4 movie is 2.5gb worth while the avi files are less then 300mb. So i guess it is not a file size issue.
To further filter out the problem, i tried to paste this same avi files in my internal storage and same thing happened. It still get stuck. So internal or external storage are out of the question.
What is the problem then?
Thanks!
I think maybe there is an error on the file, i have no problems with any hd video on mkv, mp4 or avi on Mx Video
sounds like bad files, you could walys try a different player such as dice player to see if it does it with that
Sometimes it loads well but most of the time it gets stuck. I thought if i played it directly on mx video instead of browsing it in es file explorer the problem would be resolved but same issue persists. I will try other players. Would you recommend any other than dice? I will try that one as well.

Use Bsplayer lite. Very nice movie player.

Mobo Player its as good as MX
I use MX player and havent struck any issues with it yet. Could it be dodgy encoding of the files?
I tried mobo player and i haven't encountered my note getting stuck.
What i should do next is to try another avi file, maybe the big bang theory files have bad parts.
Thanks.

I found dice player free version to be the best. Some files audio was not playing on mxplayer pro or I would need to select software encoding etc, sometimes should get audio lag but with dice player same files would play without issues without needing to select software encoding etc. would have bought pro version but no longer available on market.
Moboplayer plays everything. If some files don't work then put the software rendering on.

hello xda!
i am having a hard time streaming 720p .mkv rip video to my nexus from a seagate goflex satellite mobile hard drive. i was able to install samba on the drive. i use es file explore to view and mx player with dts codec to play the video. only problem is i cant get the hardware decoder to work and the video is choppy with the software decoder. i get the error "cannot play this view with h/w+ decoder" and when i use the normal hardware decoder i get a grey screen. I dont think this is a bandwidth issue because this thing says it can stream 3 hd movies at once, i could be wrong wouldnt be the first time. im thinking i dont have something configured correctly on my nexus but i have no idea what to look for. any help on this would be amazing
H/w+ doesn't work on the nexus 10. You need to use the regular h/w decoder. Alternatively, try bs player.
Will MX player play the video when the hard drive is plugged into the nexus 10 with an otg cable? If it doesn't, then it is probably a problem with the mkv file. You may need to trans code it to mp4 with handbrake.
I can wirelessly play transcoded 1080p mp4 files easily with my hacked go flex satellite. (But not ripped mkv files from my bluray discs.)

im such a dummy, it was the container. moved it to mp4 and fixed the issue
there is update for nexus 10 to support H/w+ , check latest version of the MX palyer and ArmV7 codec .
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:
Hi All,
I have a Nexus 7 (2013) for many years i've played video files using MX Player or USB Media Explorer without a problem .avi .mp4 .mpe4 .mkv .wma. etc.
For some reason MX Player no longer sees the (OTG connected) Flash drive at all.
For some reason USB Media Explorer says it cant find the files needed to play.
I have deleted both and re-installed, no change.
Thinking it was an Android version problem I upgraded to 6.0.1. But they still wont play.
Any thoughts?
Thanks Al
