I just want to know if there's any media players that can support both MP4 video formats and AAC audio formats on a smartphone.
I just got a Samsung Omnia, and I use coreplayer, which can play MP4's but it says AAC is not supported. I use the latest version which claims it can support AAC, but still no dice. Not much luck on google either.
So if anyone can help, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
not 100% sure what you mean by acc
if you mean what you buy in itunes these days
as in m4a then coreplayer play them all
if you mean old encrypted itunes stuff then you can
make them normal un drm m4a which coreplayer plays fine
for free now that itunes stop'd drm
you can do it from inside itunes right click menu
if you don't want to do that you have to use pocket player
or whatever it's called which you have to pay for it's plugin
which play drm encrypted acc m4a stuff from itunes

Sorry if this is not strictly on topic, but I am having problems playing video files on my PC which were recorded on my TC. Has the format been changed/tweaked since the Trinity (my last device)? I can't get the files to play using latest versions of WMP, RealPalyer, Quicktime or DivX player (all with -I think- appropriate Codecs; Sherlock utility lists bucket loads of Codecs residing on my PC).
The videos play OK on WMP mobile on the TC and the files were copied direct to the PC using a card reader in order to keep ActiveSync out of the equation.
Thanks
For me, the only way too see videos on my PC is to use Media Player Classic.
I've tried with VLC: video plays but...without sound.

MP4 is now a fairly common video format on the net, and is now becomming a standard format for mobile video recording, takeing over the place of 3gp. If you have troubles whith it, you have several options.
1. You can download the VLC Player, a free, open-source player that plays all videofiles whithout the usage of installed codecs (plays *.flv files as well).
2. If you do some video coding too, then you can install a Codec pack... I recommend K-Lite for that, but ofcourse there are several choices.
3. WMP11 supports it...
All solutions are free... but next time try this:
1. Google
2. In the search field: "How to play MP4 files"

I recomend checking your settings, because VLC works for me. Did you try the latest version? Does this no sound occur whith other file types aswell?
Installed VLC, but like Jules got no sound?
I do however get sound from MP4 files (and other video formats) from sources other than the TC.
So what comes out of the TC does not seem to be normal? (Hence me posting here.... yes I googled (lots) before)
The source of the problem is, that VLC does not recognize the audio stream of the mp4 files created by the TC. The coding of the Audio stream is GSM AMR-NB... so the only option is to get the AMR codec.
The reason VLC plays it for me is because K-Lite is installed (and it contains the audio codec for that).

I use the last Vlc version and KLite Standard version.
And no sound, just with Cruise's MP4. No problem with others MP4.
But Media Player Classic plays these videos with sound.

Klite Mega Codec Pack is the magic solution. Playing TC recorded video fine in WMP11 and BSPlayer Pro
I have tried Pocket Player, Pocket Music, and CorePlayer. But none of them plays ALAC m4a. My previous music device was an iPod, so I have all my CD's encoded into ALAC m4a format. Do I have to transcode them all? Or is there a salvation?
ALAC require a lot of juice to play as they are allmost like old wav files
it were always a bit of a silly thing for portable players as no headset would
not be bottleneck compared to 256k/sec
even the ipod touch offical forums are full of ipod owners compalining about skipping when it comes to ALAC
I totally agree with you that no portable player + headset is any lossless audio worth. 256Kb should be sufficient enough. But I have a huge collection of ALAC audio files at home, which I rather not convert everytime I want to carry some tunes on my Xperia. My long time portable music player was iPod Touch, hence I had my collection encoded in ALAC. However, I never experienced any skips with my Touch.
M4a is pretty much all apple and somewhat new... the simplest thing is probably a batch coverter (select the files and let them all convert over night)
Here is a google search to let you choose one.
Hi there,
I have been desperate searching for a stream player that can play an Ogg stream.
Tried PowerAmp, WinAmp ... nearly every popular player for android ... still nothing that can play an online stream in the Ogg format.
In Windowsmobile the Coreplayer plays everything! My playlists with online radio stations are being loaded and played there, mp3, ogg streams no matter what ...
I see the Coreplayer project for Android reaches its prefinal stages and hope it will play m3u playlists and Ogg streams aswell!
Do you have any experiences with Ogg format streams? Which player would play them?
Thank you in advance!
Hmm, my thoughts about the Ogg issue seem to be confirmed ... there is to date no app to play Ogg online streams!
Let´s hope the Android version of the popular Coreplayer will play them all
Cheers
I have created simple library which might help you: https://github.com/radzio/AndroidOggStreamPlayer - it is simple Ogg Stream decoder based on JOrbis library. On my Nexus 7 everything is working great and I can play Ogg live streams.
Cheers
App: Internet Radio Player
Hi,
I searched for an android app which plays ogg Streams + save own streams as bookmarks.
I have tried so many apps and found it.
Internet Radio Player, Musertech

Hello all. I see that the pre-install music player does not play WMA files. Does anyone know if it's possible to make the default music player work with WMA, maybe by installing a codec or somesuch? Alternatively, can anyone recommend a tablet-friendly media player app to replace the default?
Nope, no such thing as installing "codecs" under Android.
Quick search on the market for "wma" shows that poweramp can play wma. Software decode for audio should be pretty easy so there are likely to be a number of 3rd party audio players that can play other formats.
Media Player for tablets

I reccomend XBMC media player. Beta 2 is out and is reasonably stable, and it is easy to install a touch friendly skin. Go to xbmc.org to download.
Hi guys, right now I'm using playerpro to play .flac songs. But the problem is the player can't detect .flac format. I can only play it using file explorer (i.e es explorer). So I was wondering is there any ways to allow my sensation detect those .flac format songs?
Thanks in advance.
I believe if you have the VLC media player available on the market, that will detect and play FLAC format. If you don't, I am unsure of the capabilities of the music player that is included with the Android OS. I believe it to be MP3, and MP4 but nothing else. That is why I recommend VLC. Also if you have the new WinAmp app from the market that also supports FLAC file types.
