What application do you recommend for viewing photos (slideshow) and movies within a folder?
So far I haven't found one that will handle both functions.
I'm using VLC and MXPlayer apps for watching movies.

What method do recommend in playing movies and other videos on the Nexus One from what files to play, how to transfer them to the phone, and how to play them on the phone.
I browse my movie files on Astro file manager or the stock Gallery app. NemoPlayer browses music nicely too. However, a dedicated movie player would be nice.
I also noticed that it doesn't play all of my videos. It's probably because of the resolution.
I use the paid for version of Act1. The program from what i see only plays video. The program tells you what time it is ie. real time. it also tells you how much battery power you have left as well. When you open the program it tells you what files on the phone/SD card that can be played. What i do is make sure the video file i have is already in HD most of the time 720p or 1080p. I use WinX Video Converter to convert the file to MP4. I set the res to 800x480. The video file plays with no skipping and no problems. The picture also looks really nice as well. If i had to answer your problem about it not playing the file i would say that is before the file is not support by the N1. I believe just MP4 and H.264 are the only supported files. It plays the same thing a Iphone can play and a Itouch pretty much.
Is there anyway to play files other than mp4. Such as wmv?
Someone knows how you can watch a full screen video in the stock video player without the black bands?
Other phones (HTC Hero for example) have a button on the player to resize the video.
Thx

The default player won't do it. Act1 has a full screen option and it's a great app, as the previous poster detailed.
Thx! good player
is there a way to use that video player as the default player for videos?
If I recall, associate your video files to the HTC_VideoPlayer.exe
How would i go about that

yes, how would you do this? I prefer the HTC Video player over the 3rd party solutions but I can't find a good gui to access the videos aside from the ugly File Explorer
Total Commander perhaps?
The pictures and videos tab
Go to the pictures and videos tab.
Go to albums lower left.
Go to albums again on lower left and this wilol bring up a list of all of your pics and videos on both device and storage card.
Click the one you wish to play and from there it will use the HTC player by default.
Ugly route, but it works.
I use upn play and mobo player to stream video over home network.
hello
I use also iMediaShare, and Skifta (both DNLA)
why wouldn't my streamer apps (UPNP, Skifta, clear.fi etc.) not detect the mp4 files I am putting into my servers shared video folder? The apps see a my other video files, like the avi files and mpg files, but none of my mp4's show up.
Does that make any sense? Does UPNP ignore mp4 files? yet it seems like everyone converts their files to mp4 (which by the way play ok on the device if I attach and play through usb.).
I just want to convert everything to something that I can both stream and put on hard drive and take with me...
I was wondering if there is anyway to have thumbnails for videos show up in gallery. I've tried Metax to write the thumbnail into the metadata, but still no luck. I would like to use gallery to play my movies if this is possible since it plays all formats (that I've needed so far...) and has a clean interface. If not, does anyone know of an app that will accomplish this? I've tried RockPlayer as well, and don't particularly like the explorer interface, and have also had issues playing certain MP4s.
I think that is a huge problem on kindle fire, i mean, we can stream our music for amazon cloud drive but not videos or other documents.
I know it's possible to get to amazon cloud drive on silk (or any browser) and download files from there to kindle, but still these ones will not appear on video library but yes on galery app.
Only purchased videos will appear on video library.
Also if i upload videos for my fire they will only appear on galery app and not on video library.
I want to know if there is any way to get my videos on video library on kindle fire.
anyone?

I've looked into this fairly extensively and I haven't not found a solution that doesn't involve using a third party syncing service that can stream. I use Sugarsync, I know that Dropbox will work as well. I just use SS to store my vids in the cloud and then download/stream them to the Kindle and view using the Video player or Moboplayer.
It's a kludge, but it works fine for now.
So basically, I use:
Sugarsync to store/stream
ES File Explorer to view/delete/move
Gallery or Mobo to view
and using subtitles?
