video on pola100 - Touch Cruise Android Development

Hi everyone!
I have one problem with my device.
I'm using FroYo rls 10 from Touch CDMA Android Development
And i can't run any video on my polaris.
Just 1 player yxplayer (ex. yxflash) open video's but after about 5 min freeze.
Standart player don't work at all.

As I know, this is a problem of Android ROM's for our devices. As i know...

Maybe the recent app Rockplayer could help? It uses its own libraries, not the standard video decoding API.

HTC HD2 - CorePlayer Audio Codec (AC-3) support

Hi....
um running coreplayer v 1.3.6 build 7427 on my HD2.
The player almost plays all files I need, including .AVI files.
Anyhow,,, while playing some .AVI files the player displays the following message.
player: Audio Codec (AC-3) not supported by the player! (0108)
After this message, the file is smoothly played, but to my very big disappointment, without any audio.
I like not to convert my files into other playable formats.
So, if anyone can help me,,.... please.
Somebody, please figure out a way to play .AVI files with AC 3 audio codec on the coreplayer.
I have the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Same problem here!! but there is any player that can play ac-3 sounds?
I'm using a patched version of TCPMP support to play movies with AC3 audio on my HD2. (cab attached)

You need to set Options > Video > to GDI or Raw FrameBuffer to get video to display properly. Playback quality is great and no different from Core Player, except AC3 now actually works!
I should mention that I use a WM6.1 ROM on my HD2 instead of the stock WM6.5, so YMMV. Of course, I could also boot into Android and use an AC3-audio supported media player (many do). See my signature if you'd like to know more about running WM6.1 or Android of your HD2. The HD2 is a great phone but WM6.5 is just plain awful. Cheers.

[Q] YOUTUBE and Bowsers

Hi guys.
Is it possible to make Opera or other browsers open Youtube videos in an external player (like Core Player, the Youtube application, else)?
Actually Opera is unable to play them by default, there's an unofficial working plugin, but frame rate is very low and video is oversized...
Thanks a lot!!
You can get them to play in core player; the key is going to m.youtube.com. If you go to the desktop version (with the newer versions of PIE), then the embedded flash player will play the videos (with so-so quality).
With Core player, you need to set the file associations for RTSP protocol (and also .flv files).
HTC Streaming Video will also play youtube videos and some types of streams. Core player is better, though.
With Opera, I browse m.youtube, my Core Player is configured for flv, rtsp and all other formats, but Opera doesn't call Core Player like it was doing up to version 9.7.
About PIE, what's the last version?
I've just tried to setup Streaming Media, but I cannot launch it, because it returns e certificate error.
Do you have a working procedure to make it work on WM6.5?
Many many thanks!!
HTC Streaming player just worked for me when I cooked it in; I stopped using it when I got Core Player.
I'm using 28242 now, but all the 6.5.x PIE's work with Core Player. I don't use opera, so have no idea how to get it to work with it.
If you will browse with IE (in my case a standard one in 6.1) you can view the YT videos without any additional programs. The quality is low-medium.

My IE doesn't play any youtube or flash video.
Ooops, sorry just checked one more time and noticed that the address is m.youtube.com (so mobile version of YT)

video player optimized for honeycomb, or just tegra 2 optimized?

Hello guys at xda
This question may have been here before, and if it has here it is again.
Is there a video player that is optimized for honeycomb, or at least a player that take advantage of the tegra 2 cpu?
Otherwise i like to know if there is an video player that support dlna devices, so i can browse the dlna server directly from the video player app it selfs, sonthere is no need for a second app to do that.
Last thing, and i dont know if tisnis redicilus, but is there a player that support iso files an so on ?
Hope you can help le, and sry for my english !

moboplayer is tegra2 optimized now. though be warned, like all other tegra2 players, HD mkv files have issues playing.
http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
so which codec pack should we use, the NEON?
and what do i do with the .apk file?
sorry, i'm a noob
edit: nvm, took me 2 seconds on google...
Vplayer was updated for tegra or honeycomb I forget which, but it works pretty well for most file types on the eee pad.

i've tried every notable media player out there, but i still haven't found one that plays my hd .mp4 file [1280x720 3000kbps @ 29fps] smoothly...

As a workaround, if you have firmware update1 installed, it means you have splashtop. Run the file on your pc and stream it via the splashtop app to your tablet. Should be fairly smooth if you have a good wifi connection. Doesnt help if you are nowhere near your pc of course, but good if you want to watch it in bed or something. You can even switch your pc off remotely this way too.
yea, i gave splashtop a try just to see how it works and all, but it's not too useful for me... i'll wait 'til these media players get updated.
I ave tried rock player and mobie player but, they kinda work. Subtitles dont appear while the files plays
my vote goes for moboplayer
i used to use rockplayer, but too many FC's
I love how moboplayer saves where you last left off on multiple videos

Just to be clear about this:
The Tegra2 CPU is a fairly standard dual core ARM v7 core, This is a fine mobile CPU but nothing special and it will _never_ be able to soft-decode HD main profile h.264 video.
However the SOC includes a general purpose GPU that also includes hardware to decode h.264 in an accelerated fashion. This _should_ be able to play 720p main profile and 1080p main with limitations. However the only way to use this acceleration is via the Nvidia OMX plugins that are part of the "StageFright" media system that Honeycomb uses. This system is not exposed to the NDK, and is only available via the MediaPlayer object in java. (It is also limited to baseline profile and under-performing compared to the froyo version for these libs)
The MediaPlayer object is what the default player uses, hence you either use something virtually identical to the default player (With all the limitations it has) or you decode 100% in software (on the CPU not the GPU) and thus can't play HD content due to a lack of horsepower.
Optimising a video player for the Tegra2 CPU will do very little (Like compiling for SSE or 3DNow), perhaps make it a few percent more efficient but nowhere near enough to play HD content.

What profile and level is your video file? (MP4Box will tell you if you don't know)
So, which is better? moboplayer or vplayer?

moboplayer is free and much more popular based on download numbers and ratings

So...long story short...the GPU can handle 1080/720, but right now players aren't taking advantage of it because the required code/plugins aren't in the NDK. Right now all the players are forced to use software decoding which uses the weaker cpu.
So release the damn plugins!
I'm tired of stuttering video.
Sorry to revive oldish thread... does anyone know if DTS audio is not supported on the TF? I was trying out some sample mkv in 720p and 1080p to see how they looked/sounded. After the 3.1 update the 720p videos are smooth, but I am not getting any audio on the videos in mobo or rock or stock player. In Rockplayer I opened the video with software support instead of hardware and got audio, but mega choppy playback.
Any ideas?
Unfortunately AC3 audio (used in most rips) is not supported by the TF chipset (and the tegra2 chip in general).
This means either fluid video and no audio in hardware mode, or choppy video and out of sync audio in software mode. Very disappointing actually but afraid there aren't any alternatives out there yet.
You'll have to transcode the audio to AAC but that means an extra step in the process. The original galaxy tab seems to play everything, but well... that's not really an option either.

No, that's not what I'm saying. The "plugins" are exposed using StageFright which is used by the standard MediaPlayer object which moboplayer (et al) can and does use but only for the normally supported codecs/containers. There will never be anything better than that.
Any app that "adds" either a container or a codec to Android will be doing it via pure CPU decode, that will _always_ be that case (for the foreseeable future).
That said, the 3.1 update has improved h.264 playback massively, I can play high profile 720p quite nicely now. But if you want MKV container support _and_ h.264 hardware accelerated decoding you'll have to get Google/ASUS to add the MKV container into StageFright at the platform level, no video player app will fix that. (Or wait until we get the platform source, there is already a Matroska container parser in the AOSP repo that could be ported to Honeycomb, hell Matroska parsing is needed for WebM playback and Honeycomb already does that)

Additionally: AC3 is patent encumbered so it costs money to include even if the chip supports it
Honeycomb optimised video player
I have found MX Vidoe Player the best player to use on my Vega running HC 3.2 Build 9n Update 2. Unlike Mobo Player the screen image can be zoomed to any size to fill the screen, not just stretch the image.
Do not know about HD, but depending on your video file resolution the image quality is great.

Mpeg video playing app?

ive been using arcmedia to play mpeg / avi / wmv files ever since my first android device a few years ago. Just downloaded it on to my chacha but it doesnt seem to work at all - not sure if tis a gingerbread issue.
Any suggestions for an alternative video player?
Have you try moboplayer ?
I dunno on chacha because i wont play video on this small screen, but moboplayer play nice on my gtab running gingerbread.

[Q] Is MX Player a good choice for live video?

Hi,
I have already had a look at the forum but couldn't find a similar question.
I'm using an evaluation kit with a wifi module and a camera that sends out video from the camera over wifi.
For Android there is a wrapper for the MX Player app that connects to the evaluation board and displays the video from the camera on the android device.
So far there is no problem except that the video has a delay of a few seconds.
Is it possible that the MX Player produces such a delay because of its buffers?
Best regards,
scienzguy
