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.

yxflash is good ..

Best video conversion tool to put movies on phone

I was wondering what everyone is using to convert movies to play on your captivate. I tried handbrake with no success. (probably just don't how to use it). Any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Why, pray tell, do you even need to convert videos? Just throw them on this puppy. That is one of the major selling points of this phone.

You are probably right. You are using Handbrake wrong. It works great. Just look over the web to find some walk throughs. Make sure you use VLC with Handbrake. You can also use DVD Fab decrytor Use it for the trial but You can always rip your dvd's for free.

I am trying to get movies off dvds. I also have some movies I ripped from dvdfab in my computer that are in the weird dvdfab format
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I also had no luck with handbrake so I started using mediacoder. Only thing I really do is scale the movie down to the phone screen size to reduce the file size by a bit. So far it's been really easy to use and all the movies work great.
If I'm going to watch the movie on a bigger screen then I'll copy it over as-is.

I use ripbot264. Works perfect so far and its also easy to use.

I used Handbrake recently to load two movies on my Captivate (Big Lebowski & Trading Places) , I put in the DVD in my iMac and it took about 40 minutes per video to convert the file and then I moved it onto my SD card. I used store purchased DVD's and everything went perfect. Do a Google search for "How to rip DVD on Mac and convert video for Mac using Handbrake"

Does anyone one know how to convert from a movie file already saved, i cant get the sound working properly, picture is magnificent. when i convert the sound is garbled, when i put the source 720p video on it has no sound. anyone else having this problem?

I like divx converter, works well and is free

search youtube for winx dvd ripper platinum & serial

I use EncodeHD and choose the Nexus One profile for the few files which actually need conversion.
http://dcunningham.net/media-tools/encodehd/

For ripping I use DVD decrypter... For encoding DiVX encoder or Media Coder.
Though I have never had to "convert" any video for use on the Captivate. The video's that I have on my server run just as well on my Captivate as they do my 42in LCD.
Just drag and drop and watch.

This. You can slap a 2GB file on your phone and it will play, but that's taking up valuable memory. It would still look just as good if you shrunk it down to a workable 800mb.
I tried using Handbrake and ran into audio issues where the audio was severely slowed down. I switched to DVD Fab and had success. I have used mkv format successfully.

I too use DVDFab - the quickest way is to just tell it covert for iPhone and bam it is done and works every time. There are ways to optimize it, I am still looking for the best settings.

[Q] Playing Divx on HP Touchpad

Hi guys,
Waiting for android on the HP Touchpad, is there someone knows how to play divx (moovies) on that tablet with webos with a free application.
It seems that there only one soft who do that but not free.(around 7€)
Thx for yours advices.

find a video converter and convert to a supported format.
Probably mp4 is supported, don't know really.
A free one was called Format Factory.

as you say there is a paid app that can do avi, divx, xvid etc but nothing for free.
the best advice i can give you is to use the handbrake template in the following link to pretty much guarantee compatibility when converting video files.
http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html
also, if you have mkv files, you could use something like gotsent to convert them to mp4 and they should work.

What's the name of the app?

Kalemsoft Media Player...
http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/products-WebOS-KSMPlayer.html

Thanks for that.... other question I have is I have put credit card details into the webos app store and I still can't see any paid apps? help anyone?

nevermind ... seems Australia is failboat on the paid apps...

yeah paid apps doesn't work for australia at the moment.
probably never now.
easier to just convert them.

Yeah, KalemSoft works for all my stuff.

I actually just installed a new app from homebrew called Touchplayer it is supposed to support all formats, however it is all CPU rendering

perfect... Worked a treat.... Preware is fun too! Really impressed with webOS actually.

i'll check this app out.
it'll be interesting to see how my overclocked TP handles the extra cpu load.
most of my movies aren't HD anyway so there shouldn't be much load.
EDIT: doesn't seem to want to download.

The preware build seems to have a problem that prevents it to install.
Download the app from precentral.net/touchplayer and then install it by using "Web OS Quick install" App.
It worked for me.

Mine installed but I dont get any sound Tried both .6 and .3 versions above.
Tried .avi and then converted to .mp4 no sound but movie plays. .mp4 plays with the native video player but doesnt scale to the right aspect ratio

Just reboot, app icon should appear in the launcher after that.

so is it actually a player or just a codec pack?

[Q] Hulu and 1080p

I'm considering dropping my iPhone and moving over to the Infuse. That large screen is calling to me.
I have a Nook Color that I have rooted and installed Gingerbread on (thanks to this site) and I really like it. My first question is about Flash and Hulu.com. On my Nook I was able to install a cracked version of Flash that allows me to go directly to Hulu.com and play the videos there in browser. Is that possible on the Infuse?
And my other question was is this phone capable of 1080p playback. My old 3Gs just can't handle it and the Nook will chug along but playback is very slow. I have several videos that are 1080p that I would like to play without having to convert them all first. I saw another thread that the device could play them but not after it had been rooted. Which I guess I'll have to do if I want to play Hulu files.
Thank you.

Yes it has some ability to play 1080p. Actually more than some Tegra2 dual core devices.
So despite the year old processor it is still able to compete. And Samsung has been putting in multiple codec support and support for mkv sinse the original galaxy s 2 years ago. Multimedia is their area of specialty on phones. Not every 1080 p file will play but you may be able to transcode them to a lower class or bitrate or change the audio encoding which I find is most often the problem on files that don't play.
Also the browser while not the smoothest has a user agent setting accessable in the address bar by typing " about:useragent" just replace the lib for the flashplayer with one that is hex edited to look like the windows flash player and set useragent to desktop ( you can even make your own if you have issues) and clear your cookies and enjoy.

Oh. I thought Hulu had plugged that loop hole/browser trick. At least it didn't work on my Nook.

I thought so too but there are still people with hulu threads. I think when new versions of flash come out they need to work to identify the illegal users again. Also you need to make surecookies are cleared. And it may have something to do with the device as well. They may have a block list but some new devices may sneak through provided the flash player look right but I'm not sure what their servers can actually see.

Guess that puts me in a wait and see category. I was kinda hoping I could just install something like the CM7 mod and then a cracked version of flash like I did on my Nook. That works perfectly.
Thank you for the advice.

You should know that 1080p video playback only works on official AT&T or Froyo-based Infuse ROM's. The current Gingerbread ROM's don't have 1080p support (although the leaked KI3/4 supposedly do, they're not custom ROM's and may have other issues). Also, non-Samsung ROM's like CM7 won't have any of Samsung's hardware-accelerated media codecs (ie. MKV). Even so, playback is going to be affected by bitrate: if the bitrate of a file is too high, you'll either have problems seeking or it won't play at all. If the audio track is an unsupported format (ie. FLAC in an MKV container), you can use MX Video Player and set it to use S/W audio decoding.
As for Hulu, you should be able to get by with hex editing the version in your Flash libraries to the latest Windows/Chrome Flash version, and then setting your useragent in your phone's browser. I haven't tried this recently, but it was still working on my Captivate a month ago.

Well that's cool. If I can get Hulu to work without rooting then I'll be happy. I'll probably leave it stock then so I get the most out of video playback. Thank you very much for te help.

You'll need to root if you want to modify the Flash libraries within the system Flash apk. Otherwise, you'll have to reapply the modified Flash library every time you reboot the phone.

[Q] Choppy video playback issues?

I just got my Transformer on Christmas. It was a Black Friday model, and I updated to the latest OTA since, at the last I had read, the root method asked for "the latest firmware." Oops. No root for me. Anyway, I have loaded up multiple episodes of multiple series of 720p subtitled anime MKVs. They all run terribly, stuttering and stumbling along, not keeping up in the least. I've tried using both QQPlayer (my old standby) and every other MKV compatible player on the Market. My old single-core Droid Incredible could handle these will significantly fewer stutters, and my new Rezound dominates them. Heck, even my Android-rigged HP Touchpad didn't blink. So, what's the deal? Is this normal?
EDIT: I've tried this off internal memory and the dock's SD card (class 10). No discernable difference. Tried on a fresh boot too for maximum available memory. Still no difference.

Video playback is disappointing for me too
I tried to view a video in tegra zone and couldn't even play that... Even tegra zone is making this tegra device look bad lol
Then I tried to find a game called Real Racing 2 HD and it's not compatible....
So much for one of the top Android tablets.. .

Give BSPlayer Lite a go. It has hardware decode for TF. It plays 720P mkv on my TF smoothly. It is free too.

Can you try to view the video preview for The Dark Meadow in the tegra zone game section with bsplayer and let us know how you go.
I couldn't watch it and it's an mp4 video

Cannot find the preview video. Only found a few images in there.
Note: I am using the Revolver ROM that has the Tegra Game Zone removed, I went to the Market to re-install it. Don't know if it is the reason for not seeing the video.

Did the game you selected show a black icon?
Would be good if we can find a common 720p video we can all test to confirm if it just doesn't work on any Transformer regardless of ROM, h/w version, viewer, etc.
My TF is rooted and I tried with CPU at normal level then up to 1400 and it was the same

Yeah. Black icon, coming 2012. Is it the one?
If you can upload the video to one of the file sharing service, like rapidshare or fileserve, I can download it and let you know the result.
Alternatively, you can just install BSPlayer and the ARM7 codec and try it yourself. It is free.

Ive possibly posted this a squillion times .. and im suprised it doesnt offer a more obvious fix but as ^^ above says "BSPlayer" is THE ONLY player ive used that will play 99% of movie files without hitch ... Including mkv's
IMO the only player youll need... and it is indeed free .. however i'd recommend a nice donation

Yeah I tried BSPlayer, Mobo, MX & the stock player and none of them would play it.
I'll see if I can take a video with my phone and try downloading the video somehow.

I appreciate the response(s). I'll try BS Player soon. Note that we can again, I'll be rooting, ROMing, and overclocking soon. We'll see how that helps. I just wanna use my tablet mostly for anime, internet, and some gaming. Basically, a bigger screen than my Rezound lol
