I have some videos in my phone. They are mp4,avi,flv,vob etc format . But most of the videos are not showing in gallery, some shows but not playing any sound or video. I replaced gallery with quick pic but the problem is same.
All the videos are displayed in MX player and working fine. But why the are not supported in gallery.
If its a limitation of our phones hardware then how it displays are play in MX player.
Is there any gallery app that shows and plays all type of videos ?
Or is there any other way to display all them in gallery .?

These 3rd party players have their own codecs and decoders. They can play these formats where as native android codecs don't support .MKV .MOV.... file types.

You can use MX Player. It supports almost all video formats and you can browse media files from its inbuilt file browser. I don't think a gallery app would support the codecs.

I read everywhere that people are using rockplayer to play various video formats such as xvid & divx.
I also thought I would need the rockplayer to play my videos...
While I did try rock player, most of my videos were lagg/choppy and most videos were well out of sync, many files didn't even play and this resulted in a crash/freeze...
Not long ago, I was browsing through my media and saw my videos as well as the preview!
I tried them all with the default player on the dell streak and it played ALL videos smoothly, clear & in sync...
If the default player plays almost everything, why are people moaning about software needed to play video's?
The default player does not play AVI FILES that' why we need Rock player

Ahh, I see, so the default player plays most formats but does not play .avi?
That's fine as most of my videos are xvid...
Also, why does every single video I have lag and the audio is out of sync with rockplayer or even yxflash player?
That's why I use the built in player for the time being until Android 2.2 is out as it should fix & improve the functionality of the phone as well as make it even faster/smoother and if were lucky, improve battery life!

avi is a container which can be used for the xvid/divx codecs amongst others.
i have different video files (avi, mkv, mp4, etc.) and i usually use rockplayer since i don't have to convert the files..
avi files on rockplayer is awesome.. no lag, no errors..
but when i play my mp4 files, it lags and in some parts the sound disappears and then appears again..
and then i noticed that mediascape 'recognizes' the mp4 files and shows them on the 'recently added' section. so i played it and voila, it works perfectly without any lags or skips.. HOWEVER, i couldn't get the sound to work at all!
so does mediascape not play mp4 videos? or is it just my mediascape having problems? if so, can u guys recommend me a better player that will play mkv and/or mp4 without lags? thanks!
avi, mp4 and some other video formats are actually wrappers. what matters is the video and audio format inside. the mediascape player is actually quite nice, no lag, even play wmv straight out of the box.
yeah the only problem being that my mp4 files don't play any audio on mediascape..
Must be the video cause I got lots of mp4 files and they run perfectly in mediascape.

Check which codec was used to encode the video... could be an unsupported codec.
Mods: shouldn't this (and 10 other threads) be moved to the q/a section?
Hi everyone,
When I play 720p.BluRay.X264 mkv file on my Galaxy S2 there is no sound. I tried the integrated player, mVideoPlayer and MoboPlayer. The sound track on MoboPlayer is shown as 1:6CH, 48000Hz. Do I need any audio codec to play the video with sound or there is nothing I can do to whatch theese files on my new Galaxy S2? Thanks for your answers in advance.
there is a test done before for mkv files playback..
dice player plays it the best..

Thanks sumeshd,
Unfortunately it is a trial version and not free. Do you know free player that will play the audio?
Check if it has DTS audio, the S2 has some trouble playing DTS audio. You should probably convert the audio to AAC or get video files that don't use DTS.
Yep, its probably DTS audio, in which case Diceplayer is what you need. Its well worth the price I think.

Most likely the audio-stream is encoded with DTS, which isn´t supported by the Galaxy S II.
It can play AAC, MP3 or AC3.

You can´t install any media-codecs on Android, like you can do it in Windows.
Obviously mediaplayers can bring their own decoders, but this means decoding on the CPU, which is slow and eats much more battery-power.
So it is best to encode the audio-stream in one of the supported formats
Thanks everyone. I will purchase Dice Player, tested and the audio works great.
Lol, but dice player is lagging... tried to watch another movie with dice player.. it lagged again

You mean video and audio is not synchronous?
That´s because, it plays video and audio separately. Basically the Player uses the media-framework to play the video without sound, so it can use the DSP.
Then it plays the sound separately, using a built in software-decoder.
This most likely also means reading the file twice, although some caching maybe prevents the need to actually read it twice from the permanent storage.
So it is a quite inefficient way to play the video. The player doesn´t know the internal timings of the media-framework, so it doesn´t really know when to play the audio. But most players should allow to set a custom audio-delay.
It is also possible that there simply isn´t enough CPU-power left to do the decoding in software.

could you post your movie file info? and what is the diceplayer's version?
There are some known problems to play HD MKVs.
1. 24bit Flac Audio is not supported
2. microsd card class ( transfer rate ) issue.
3. Wrong MKV time stamp issue.

i think that lag is not sync problem.
As in object Dlna on Tab 2 don't reproduce many files as .mkv...
How i can solve this problem?
Thank you
hmm not sure what your asking.
to play mkv via dlna I use
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free
for the playback and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dbapp.android.mediahouse&
that as the dlna browser. this gives me mkv with hw acceleration and no sound sync issues.

Thanks, I'll try this. I also have problem playing .mkv files using default samsung video player and mx player.
About the upnp/dlna browser, how's the mediahouse compared to other browser like upnplay?
Your problem with mkv playback is most likely related to running stock Samsung Rom and software. I used to love the stock dlna player until I realized it does not like mkvs. I recommend dice player. It lists and plays all the files on my media server, including 1080p mkvs. And its great because its just one app instead of 2.

upnplay was giving me weird audio issues on mkv+ac3 and this is the combination that seems to work just fine.
As titled, the video player on my note 3 doesnt play some video files properly. It just plays the sound of the file but doesnt show the video.
This is weird because these files played fine on my note 2 previously.
Please help thanks!

Note 3 supports *MP4, AVI, MKV, 3GP, WMV and FLV format. Check you video file format. Alternatively try mx player

The new versions of MX player dont need the codecs.
Simply install.
Go to Settings > Decoder > enable HW+
Even without enabling its one of the best apps ul find for video playback
It has gestures, as well as keeping track of the position you stopped at

Or just use VLC or Dice Player, those play everything.
MX doesn't play certain audio codecs because of copyright issues.

And yet it plays a heap of videos with sound in software decoding that other players won't...
I tend to use 3 players for allround coverage. I've only ever found 1 or 2 things that don't play and that was because of encoding errors...

Yes, same here. I have VLC, Dice, MX and Archos installed. Mostly I use DICE because of the 400% volume boost and the fact I have yet to find a file it can't play. (And I download, so.. loads of different formats.) VLC secondary, MX is usually my 'If it really doesn't work, might as well try it' one, as it usually crashes on the files the others can't play.
VLC plays literally everything.
Worst videoplayer ever is Stock... I've seen Windows Media Player do a better job...
It seems that there is no correct video codec on your devices to afford AVI videos. Have a try to encode AVI into MP4 format.
