I have problems installing market apps -- I always get a notification that Installation is unsuccessful. I was trying to install video players like Moboplayer and VPlayer. Previous installs like CNBC worked fine.
Also, I was not able to find the stock video player. Where is it? Like to add a video player which support more type of videos like DIVX.
I did found out that I could not install any apps from Market when I have connection with my PC.
Thanks for your help.
ps: my new tablet, contrary to XOOM, is not supporting synch book marks with CHROME! Anyone know how?
where are you located at?
For movies, the Gallery app is the same as the movies app. If you go to File Manager and look for the movie you wanna watch (it can be saved on the TF hard drive or the microSD card foler), just tap on the movie file name and you'll get prompted to which application to use to play that movie. It will show "Movies" and "Moboplayer" as the options if you have MoboPlayer installed. If you don't, it shows as Movies and you click on it and you can start watching it provided it's a format that is supported.
I strongly suggest downloading MoboPlayer though.
I can't install moboplayer as it fails installing. Any idea why?
Found problem...
I ran out of 16GB file space....
Anyone let me know how to use CHROME bookmarks with browser....
Hi, I just bought the Iconia and I've been playing with its clear.fi app. It's not perfect, but nice for music, and I would like to use it for movies as well. Unfortunately, it won't show me any of the movies I have on my hard drive (.avi's and such, mostly whatever I have show with digital cameras), nor will the usb transfer let me send files over the wire. So what's going on?
I thought it was a format issue, but I've converted several avi's to mp4 and neither clear.fi, nor the usb connection would let me see them / transfer them, respectively.
thanks
oh, and just for clarity sake, i have a 501 and stock rom (for now)
Hi, as I understood using clear.fi or Acer movie you can play only DivX (MP4...) and H264 movies.
For a lot of other format try MX Videoplayer, it'free.
Download from market both the app and the armv7 codec.
thanks for that, but any idea why i can't transfer them via usb?
Sorry but I didn't understood your USB transfer problem...
I use astro to transfer from USB to internal memory with no problem.
i don't have a micro sd card so far, that's why i'm wondering why i can copy certain small size-files via the usb cable between the computer and the tablet, but i can not copy large ones. is there a limit imposed by the FAT/NTFS systems or..?
thanks
Ok, now it is more clear...
I have transferred from pc to tablet movies file bigger than 1gb but less than 2gb; the pc (win7) just warn me that the files could be not reproduced.
I don't know if tablet has limit like Fat32...
it finally worked with copy and paste, drag and drop wouldn't work. Avi and played flawlessly
Me too use copy and paste.
Enjoy your AVI files !
Ciao
I'm not sure why this is so difficult, or if I'm missing something entirely easy, but I have no idea what the problem is. I've got two videos on my 64 GB flash drive right now, one is an .mp4, one is .mkv. I have Stickmount pro, and I'm not sure if it's working properly.
As of now, my file explorers aren't showing anything on the USB drive (though they were earlier), however VLC will show the files and play them (sort of). The .mkv lags slightly (it's only 720p), and the .mp4 plays a few frames then stops changing frames. The .mp4 played just fine earlier on a different player, but that player doesn't handle .mkv's. MX Player isn't recognizing anything on the drive at all, even after I've added it to be scanned for media.
From what I can tell the flash drive and OTG cable are working fine, I'm just not sure how to proceed from here. I'm tempted to try NMI, but I don't want to buy another app for this if I don't need to since I already have stickmount.
You need to be rooted and have a custom ROM/Kernel.
You'll need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998585
Stickmount isn't needed. It probably hasn't been updated yet.
I am rooted, and the drive is FAT32 (if that matters). However, a custom ROM/kernel is 100% necessary? In that case, what will I have to do to play videos? Will the players and file managers not have issues reading the drive and playing them?
Try this, and look around on this forum for it's discussion thread.
Dont need to be rooted. Use nexus media importer and then chose which program to play videos with. I use a nightly build of vlc.

Im not rooted and use one excellent piece of software called "Nexus Media Importer" I think it cost 1 or 2 quid !! But it is one excellent, hassle free way to use external storage. Its also clean to use. It is available on the play store.
I have successfully used it on:
Nexus 7
Nexus 10
SGS 3
OTG cable + 32GB storage!
and NO ROOTING required. Well worth it.
You can either copy to local storage OR stream !
:good:

What I found was that I had to use ES File Explorer with Stick mount for the best results. Usually is use FX File Explorer, but I had to open the app THEN mount my drive for it to show anything on the drive.
As far as playing movies direct, your flash drive may not be quick enough. I usually move the movie to my device from my flash drive prior to playing it and delete when I'm done. This way I eliminate the speed issue.
You can also flash craiggomez's ROM and have native OTG support without need for stick mount. It actually works smoother than stickmount IMO.

I have a 16GB N10 and use a 1TB portable HDD to store all my movies... being 16GB it's not capable of holding some BR rips so I play them from the drive... There's no lag or stuttering at all so moving a file isn't needed unless, maybe, if the device being used is a USB 1 device. My HDD is USB 3, but I believe the OTG cables are 2 and the N10 may be 2 as well.
Also, as a note to the OP, keep in mind that you're limited by file size when using FAT32 so you won't be able to put videos on the drive that are high enough quality to really show off the N10 unless they're under 3GB (i think is the limit)
I formatted the drive to NTFS, however the file explorers and now VLC still do not show anything on the drive when using Stickmount. Decided to give NMI a try, and it worked flawlessly. MX Player streamed the 720p .mkv with audio (had to use s/w decoder for audio) without a problem.
Glad to here its working, should be able to use VLC too, i had to for 1080p.
Fat32 max file size is 4g (2^32). So you will Need NTFS for good quality .mkvs.
Youre only able to read files in NTFS AS far as there were no updates. But for streaming mkvs there shouldnt be a problem. The reading speed of i think every USB 2 stick is faster than 5mb/s so its Speer shohldnt be a Problem either. Also i read multiple times that there is no Problem streaming 1080p via otg. For me it Loks like a Hardware issue. At least i cant think of anything else starring At the working devices trying with the same setup

Iv tried moving videos Iv recorded from my phone on to my computer and also onto a usb drive and both times the video copies over but when you play it there is only a blank/black screen on the computer/usb copy but the audio plays. The video plays fine on the phone. I was just moving them from the folders. What am I doing wrong? :crying:
what video player are you using? try downloading Videolan player and check.
Still same result. I tried windows preview and windows movie maker originally.

Video codec missing on your pc.
Try another versatile player like VLC or MPC-HC.
And check if your graphics driver is properly installed.
I tried check that everything was installed and updated. I don't know how to install or add a codec so I ended up downloading a pack and now the video is working so hopefully that was an ok fix. Thanks.
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
