Try "yxflash" from the market. It claims to be able to play WMV, DivX & Xvid... Haven't tried it myself though.

It's a $19.99 app that has to be purchased outside the market though... I don't like the way they're trying to conduct business.

Try meridian from the market. Haven't tested xvid yet but seems to play things otherwise built in on my mytouch couldn't haven't gotten that far.

Yea. They're kinda shady since they call it free then charge you to use it.

I'm guessing, if it does actually work, he doesn't want some rooted dirtbag downloading and refunding to add to the plethora of pirated apps. I haven't seen the app yet, but I figure if allows google checkout, it should be as safe as any other purchase via google checkout.
isn't there a samsung android phone with divx support builtin? I'm pretty sure I read that some where. Wonder if someone is working on some sort of port...

there are two android phones which play divx/xvid out of the box. one from samsung and the other from lg. getting the drivers/media player ported from either of these phones would be a big plus from me. i know i could convert media before hand, however i use my memory card as a "memory stick" which i bring in to work to watch on the PC during lunch. being able to play the same files on the phone when i'm on the bus/train would be so much easier.

try doubletwist if you're on Windows/Mac... no linux version yet
it will convert them to play on android by just dragging them over to the device...

I can confirm that yxflash works on my G1. I just download a divx movie (about 700 mb) and play it. Unfortunately the frame rate is about 15 f/s. Hope on Nexus One it will be much better.

btw, they still have xmas, you can get 50% off while using coupon code "xmas".
Still too expensive for my opinion, but hey, they come from the apple universum where all have too much money.

Now this post isnt going to be of much use because i couldnt find all the links i was after..... however
There were people requesting the samsung xvid/divx player be ported out back on the G1. Seems that one of XDA's members lbcoder has some decent incite on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566591&highlight=divx
He posted
divx is just an implementation of iso mpeg4.
So...
to make it play you need to;
1) ensure that bitrate and resolution are low enough to be properly handled,
2) package it in a compatible container (mp4 works)
3) ensure that the AUDIO is encoded in a compatible manner (vorbis is great, but others also work, mp3, aac, etc.)
4) ensure that there is no crap in the file showing that it is divx because it simply doesn't know what divx *IS* -- make it read as mpeg4 -- this does NOT require reencoding the file, just using a SANE header.

I thought $10 wasn't bad. It plays awesome on the N1. It takes me 10 minuted to download a Divx movie, but 30 mins to convert. Over the course of several months, I would save a ton of time converting movies. I can download directly to the SD card via browser and play with yxflash.
Yes, having to purchase outside the market is shady, but I have contacted them several times with issues and they resolved them within one day.

Found the app via market at first glance i thought nah **** it because of the bad rating.. at second glance i actually took the time to read the comments, turns out most of the comments where bad/laggy playback, witch was partly due to Magic / Heros hardware, and the resizing requirements..
ive installed the trial, and it plays beautifully.. although sometimes i do get some lines across the screen, but they are hard to notice...
Price is still a bit high thou! :/ im gonna give it a month or two to see if a cheaper alternative shows up, and hopefully by that time Google will have opened up the market in Denmark.

used yxflash to play an hd copy of ice age 3 in xvid, ran nearly perfect, every so often there is some frame skip

Any confirmation to any working divx, flv, mkv rm player?

Hi
I would like to know for your xperia x10, which android apps works and which doesn't?
I have only tried the xyflash trial, and it did not play divx nor h294 in mkv.
I don't want to convert every movie (as it take times). Hopefully something work on xperia will come soon. (i want confirmation before i buy the apps too).
try using blapk market (probably find it on the web only) the developer created it so people could try full version of certain apps without having the feeling of being robbed! but if it does what it claims it should, then out of respect, you should buy the full version from the developers!
ive tried a yxflash version from that market.. not sure if theres a more recent update to it now but it worked ok.. i gues! not sure if it'll be the same for everyone but from what ive tested, avi and divx files worked which is cool but unfortunately i noticed that around 10 minz (im guesin here) the video would freeze (just the clip not the app), yet the audio would continue as normal.
hope any of this helps!!
Well I can confirm that the latest available update for this program has fixed the issue of video freezing! Divx worked well and as 4 avi you can see it reacting slightly slow but some people may be able to live with it for time being until an update can address the issue.
Use YXflash. it work g8t.
I use yxflash, its not bad, i wish i could get the full version free though.
Yxflash still very slow on divx.
I tried many apps so far, i still have yet see a functional H.264 mkv one.
at the back of the phone it said quicktime enable, isn't h.264 apple's ? and mediascape as usual, useless.
Yxflash played divx quite smooth 4 me

How do you use the blapk market? i have installed it but i cannot see any apps...tried adding repos, wouldnt work? does this mean it has been shut down again?
Once you put repos you go to main screen then menu and hit update..
If that doesn't work you can visit the site at www.blackdroid.net, there forum is useful an all..
Hope it helps!

try to use Wuzhenhua Player v4.1, it has support for a wide range of audio and video formats incl flv & rm. it's in Chinese but few buttons are easy to understand
http://mobiputing.com/tag/wuzhenhua-player/
within link above there is a ref to a thread in xda, post 76 you'll find english ver
I checked it out since i am chinese myself, i even got the chinese market place apps. I can't find anything better. yxflash doesn't seem to work for some divx (anime one) and more anime fansub are in MKV/H264 these days.
Wuzhen does play some divx yxflash doesn't play and vice versa. I guess i will just read manga on the subway.
I use RockPlayer, which works a treat... I don't have a heap of movies, so I don't know exactly what it plays, but it sure plays more than the inbuilt media players... and it does it better - no lags, etc...
RockPlayer, search no further, app is amazing, YX Player is a joke compared to this one.
it doesn't seem to work as well as it thought to be, it does move and all but i see big lags.
I think it have to do with the size of the anime i am trying to watch.

Couldn't have said it better myself!! lol
whatz the size of this file? and are you talkin bout these issues on rockplayer, not yxflash?
Cause I have rockplayer and i've used a 1Gb file and framerate was running near 25 frames/sec and had no lag whatsoever!
There's someone who's played a movie (1080i) at 30f/sec without lag..
Maybe something on ya phone is blocking its true potential?

Another vote for Rock player.
I seem to have problems with Rock Player if I use my MW600.. But only when I'm playing divx/xvid.
I hear a crackling sound. If I turn off my headset, the problem is gone.
Am I the only one with this problem? Should I start using Wuzhenhua ?
I use Rockplayer, it is by far the best one out there, no lag on my XviD collection

This beta only work till July 15th, but I hope they will release another one before that.

Pretty non-obtrusive ads for us in countries without a paid market, good call by developers.
Been using the leaked alpha up until now, but replaced it with this version
Could somebody explain to me why this app needs permission to read phone state and identity (heading: phone calls).
Seems odd...but curious!
The beta was cool as fook, but now the audio lags then catches up. Joke app now...
Reverted to mplayer as i don't have avi's anyway, and has brightness memory, cool

So it knows when you are getting a call so it can pause the video.
Does anyone know if the paid version has the R logo, or is that removed, along with ads, when you pay the $10?
I used the alpha without the R logo until now, but this looks better (better scaling mainly), though the R is a deal-breaker for me.
App has been updated to fix lag issues.
The paid version does not have the red R logo
I don't understand why they can't just have a Paid Version on the market....
*LIGHT BULB*
They want to take full profit from the sale instead of letting Google handle the transaction..
I for one want to support them since I've been using their Beta version
HOWEVER!!!!!... Since it is only registered to the Phone IMEI... *since they are trying to avoid Google Tariffs..... Switching Phones will require you to purchase it again....
I FOR ONE WILL NOT BUY IT OUT OF PRINCIPLE.... What I pay for should be a global one time payment... knowing myself. I will get the *Nexus Two* and follow Google assuming they don't switch Manufacturers.. *COUGH* MOTOROLA SUCKS
OK...
this is crap, or I am stupid
1. i have a few *.m4v videos that show up in the lists of stock player and mVideoPlayer, but don't show up in RockPlayer (although RockPlayer can play them, when i un-check "show media files only" (so that EVEN RockPlayer can see them... and click them in RockPlayer...)
2. when i am in a file explorer, and click on *.m4v the pop up window only offers choice of stock player and mVideoPlayer
3. The option "use as system player" doesn't seem to have an effect.
4. Rockplayer does not offer a consolidated list of videos on its home GUI?????????? I have to click through my file system to find all my videos individually????
5. paypal payment method.... no way to refund???????
... why again is this better than mVideoPlayer???

I have uninstalled the software and have no intention to use it ever again.
Just as I expected my refund request to PayPal was declined by the seller.
In his response to my refund request he didn't even comment on any of my complaints, just provided a simple "i am sorry to hear it" and an explanation of what "use RockPlayer as system player" means (= using the phone's hardware acceleration (not sure whether it's true or not).
Exactly what posters above are worried about: if you are not satisfied, you have no way to refund and for every new phone you would have to acquire a new license because the license is hooked to the phone's ID.
I strongly advise against using the PayPal scheme
i have escalated to PayPal, because I have already uninstalled and since I am not using the software would like to have a full refund.

Paypal will refund you mate im sure,
I think its very underhanded of this company (if its a company and just not a small time dev) to not refund you...
I would not enter into any transactions outside of Google Market as your totally protected.
I would also tell everyone to avoid this app like the plague, and install Mvideo player, its about a thousand times better....
If your bothered about AVI playback, just convert, simples

does it recognize *.avi file as media file? or do you have to disable "show only media files" to see it?
does the audio lag come back when you scroll forward or backward?
mmh... does it show all video media files at start up page, or do we still have to manually sift through our file structure to find the videos individually?

[Q] Question before buying Gtab

Hi,
I am new to Android and I would like to get some help for a few questions before buying a Gtablet.
1) Flash support - I saw it's posted on the official website it has a temp version of flash player. Can I know if it works well? I need to watch high-def flash movies on different websites. I hope it can play smoothly. Also am I able to play facebook flash games?
2) RMVB/AVI/MKV support - I have tons of these kind of videos on my NAS server but the official site does not say they are supported. I heard there is a Rockplayer that can do it, but I went to their App Store and found no such software. Can i know a way to play these formats? If the hardware does not support them, and there is a software does, how is the quality and speed?
3) Local LAN share - I think I already googled there is one called EStrong, can I open my NAS file share folders, and play Video directly?
4) Customization - Can I install apps from anywhere instead of their app store? for example can i install Android Market? or install an app from a file?
That's pretty much what i concerns so far, other than that this is a great tablet!
I much appreciate your advices.
I can help with the first and fourth ones. This afternoon I watched an episode of outsourced on nbc.com. it wasnt perfect, but definatly viewable, and youtube videos all look fine for me. As for the last one, I have the android market installed, and I have also installed .apks that I have the file form so yea they do work.
re. 2, my son user rockplayer to watch some mkvs last weekend. I'm not that familiar w/anime, but he said it wasn't handling embedded softsubs. We did find another player on market that did but I don't remember the name.
re. 3, ES Explorer will copy files over lan (windows shares or ftp), but it's not for streaming.
Mkv support depends more on how it was encoded. I ripped some DVDs to mkv with 5.1 sound using handbrake and those will play in rockplayer using software decode fine.

I should clarify my earlier post. We were able to watch the MKVs (animes) he had downloaded fine with rockplayer. But they had softsubs, and it wasn't showing those.

Re. 1, my wife uses the Gtab to watch Kdramas, on sites that stream flash, and it works pretty well. Served from sites like tudou, qdisk, etc., and works ok, but a lot of those sites sometimes have heavy traffic, and even with a PC, they get jerky, so it's not the Gtab, but the stream server and traffic usually.

According to the specs It will play:
32-bit LP-DDR2, DDR2
S1080p H.264/H.263/ VC-1/MPEG-2/4/WMV9/DiVX 4/5 Video Decode
1080p H.264/MPEG-4 Video Encode
Supports multi-standard audio formats, including AAC, AMR, WMA, and MP3
Not all of those are working currently (some are and some aren't). Get yourself a good video encoder/dvd ripper for your computer and once they are encoded, you just drag and drop onto the gtab. If they are encoded properly with the proper settings, you get descent video quality.
4) Customization - Can I install apps from anywhere instead of their app store? for example can i install Android Market? or install an app from a file?

Yes but you will need to do a couple updates using the developer instructions from here and then do a market fix. The easiest one is the simple performance pack update to the 3389 build with a market fix, however over 5,000 people have gone to vegan 5.1
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/
It is the best from what i can tell, wicked fast. It has two issues curently 1) Micro SD card management/file mgt 2) Keyboard auto correct. Updates seem to come out every 10 days to 2 weeks right now.
Thank you all!

[Q] Thinking about buying a Xoom - can it do this?

1) napster to go - subscription DRM music
2) stream netflix
3) pandora
4) render heavy splash sites well - my daughts is 7 and loves her disney.com, nickelodeon.com, etc
5) have an app (pay or free) that can play almost any video file
1. Yes theres a napster subscription app you can download.
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes, games play fine, a little laggy sometimes, and since you dont have a keyboard while they are running you'll have to work something out.
5. Yes, Moboplayer and QQ Player seem to play everything out there.

Sorry to say but video support is limited.
Eg you download blue ray rip (even in 720p) then it does not play all the time.
In short Xoom plays H264 movies smoothly if encoded with baseline profile.
You can play 1cd dvdrips with Mobo or bs player.
You may be required to convert video.

4)Yes, Disney site works fine, depending on your internet connection, of course
5)Mobo, Dice or Rockplayer lite seem to play just about anything
Xoom is great for most media as you can also load up a lot of fies on your sdcard (or usb drive if you root), so you'll never run out of space.
It seems like your major interest is in listening to and watching media files, andyou may also want to consider that the Xoom does so much more than play media and games---I believe the Xoom is the best overall tablet available. The Xoom is a serious working tablet computer that likes to have fun, too, so hopefully you have plans for it as well. It's also absolutely perfect when unlocked, rooted and customized...
Not sure how I will use the tablet, to be honest. Trying to find justification for it. But I know that my 7 year old will love using it and I love music and video. So those are must haves.

If you mostly want something for simple, accessable media, you should probably be looking at an Ipad, though no flash, no sd card etc. The Xoom is very sturdy, but a smart and inquisitive child can do some pretty funky things to it, especially if you have root (which will give you most of the goodies, IMHO).
cartoon films look very good on xoom like planet51

[Q] How to convert a .wtv file to view on the OPO?

The title pretty much speaks for itself.
I want to use my OPO to store and playback recorded WMC TV content, (Windows 7.)
In a dream world, preferably without converting to different file format.
If not, is there a good, free piece of software that anyone can recommend?
And so on...
I did search for this topic, couldn't find a suitable thread.

Have a look at http://mctvconverter.vivolum.net/ - found in less than 30 seconds with Google
Oh, and this really should be in the "Q & A" forum as it is a question :silly:
Yes, it is a question, but hoping for feedback from those who have used software to allow viewing...
Also, concerned about downloading any software from the web without verification from at least a couple of users who have had good experiences with it.
Thanks for your input.
I can suggest this beautiful open source software project, licensed under the GNU General Public License v2:
MCEBuddy.
IMHO, one of the best WTV converters for Windows systems.
The latest two versions require a small donation, but previous versions are free of charge.
I have been looking at MCEBuddy. It seems as though older versions are free, and the "new and faster" version requires a minimum $25 "donation."
I don't mind paying, after I have had a trial, but don't see that option.
Which version are you using, fastleo?
I'm using the free 2.3.13 version.
Thanks, I am trying the MC-TV Converter as I type this. It looks like about 15 - 20 minutes to convert a file of about 1 GB.
Will try the same file with MCE Buddy, which I expect will be faster, (which will also mean, better.)
OK, showing my lack of expertise here. I converted file to .mpg4 file type, and dropped it in the camera folder of my OnePlus phone.
It will not play, although a preview thumbnail showed up with an image...
Should I be using a different file type for Android to play the video, or drop the video into a different folder, or both?
Thanks...

Try renaming it to .mp4 or .m4v. Also, which video player are you using?
Convert to MP4 or MKV then play using MX Player, you shouldn't have any problems then.
I downloaded VLC for Android, then put the video in a folder on my OPO I titled Recorded TV (in Movies folder.) VLC plays my video quite nicely.
Next, I will try MCEBuddy to see if it is faster than MC-TV Converter.
Thanks, all, for your patience. This will save me from having to carry my OPO and my tablet. As long as I load the right content, can now keep up with some TV on my phone. Things like sports or epic movies deserve a bigger screen, but there is plenty to watch on my phone now!

MCEBuddy is way faster, esp if you have the hardware encoding encoding enabled it blows the rest away. Even without hardware encoding if you're using the latest builds 2.3.15 or 2.4.1 it's still 30%-40% faster. (a little less than half the time) esp for HD and H264 video.

I have been looking at MCEBuddy. It seems as though older versions are free, and the "new and faster" version requires a minimum $25 "donation."
I don't mind paying, after I have had a trial, but don't see that option.
Which version are you using, fastleo?

They are running a promotion on facebook, check out mcebuddy on facebook (I can't post the link here).
I think it $15 right now.
