[Q] Nexus S Avi Playback - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My nexus s isn't playing back AVI videos regardless of what application I use. Is this abnormal or do I just need to get an avi codec somewhere ?

I've tried:
Rockplayer
Mvideoplayer
arcMedia
None have worked. Rockplayer began to play a file and then stopped.

Avi is just a container, you need codec support for the video file inside. Try Rockplayer.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not having an luck with Rockplayer either. As stated above when I use rockplayer to open the avi files, it plays a second or two of audio and then quits back to the file select menu. Are you sucessfully using rockplayer to play back avis ?

Yes, you can play avi's depending on what codec was used on the video file inside the avi, an avi file can have any type of video file inside of it; h264, mpg4, divx, etc...

rockplayer probably needs to be updated to work with 2.3 like allot of other software
need to port codecs from galaxy S then we could play anything...with hardware rendering

FLV player..?
wuzhenhua
i use wuzhenhua player... it can play flv... but very slow...
vital player, rock player, but of course, it's a software decoding, so don't except playing hd file fluently. A tip, if your video come from youtube there is a great chance that inside the flv container it's h264/aac. So you can use a soft like xmediarecode or super to convert only the container in mp4 and keep video and audio has is. It's fast and with a mp4 container, you can use phone video player with hardware acceleration.
Here download this player..
It can run almost anh format..

(Q) Is anyone else having issues with rockplayer and vplayer?

guys for some reason i cannot get either of these media players to play any videos, they both go to open a video, then jump back to the file explorer i started out trying .AVI videos but decided to try .3GP as its a native codec in android, even though the default gallery app can play the .3GP videos, rockplayer and Vplayer cannot anyone else having the same issues or is it just me
Can't help you with those players.
I use mvideo player and that works a treat.

will it play all my .AVI videos? i cant be bothered converting them all to .3GP haha
No it won't
Rockplayer latest version is working perfect for me...
Even with placebo streaming from my pc
Use moboplayer. It'll allow you to watch everything, including mkv files that have subtitles. I use it for anime and movies.
Although, some of my files won't play right if they're mkv in 720p.. the rest are fine

I had loads of issues with Rockplayer and Vplayer. I'm using ArcMedia now, works flawlessly. Plays flv files downloaded from YouTube etc. Also plays srt subtitles.
Moboplayer will also play embedded .ass subs.

MKV subtitles gone when converted

I've recently downloaded a MKV file with subtitles but i can't find the srt file however when it play it with VLC player its there. My problem is that when i convert it to mp4 for my phone the subs are gone! Is there anyway to like make it reappear.
The subtitle (using mkv merge) shows S_TEXT/ASS (ID3, type: subtitles) when i put the mkv in. I tried muxing it but it still doesn't show up when i convert it.
Is there a solution?
I dont think WP7 supports subtitles yet, to tell you the truth subtitles on a mobile device would be tiny and i dont know why you would want to, but that's just me. If you really want the subtitles your going to have to hard encode them into the video which means re-encoding the whole thing again, which means diminished quality.

Did you thought about Hard-Subbing the movie?It's fast and easy.

Can Galaxy Tab Plus play videos with subtitles on TV?

Can it do it with the HDMI adapter and a video player like mvideoplayer ?
It is possible if you have the player in Software (S/W) Decoder mode, for both .avi files with external .srt files and .mkv files with the subs muxed in. Subtitles will not display if you are in Hardware (H/W) Decoder mode. It should be the same with MX Player Pro.
Hope that helps!
It should handle the 700MB avi in Software Decoder mode ?
It should. I tried with a 1.5 gb avi file in software and it worked
you can, just rename the subtitle as the same as the video file ex: theraidredemption.mkv --> theraidredemption.srt
tested with stock video player app and dice player app (both in H/W decoder mode)

How did you get the stock video app to play subtitles? It does not have any options for it.
You just have to rename the .srt the same as the video file, video.mkv and video.srt, when you play the .mkv it will auto load the subtitle, you don't need to change a single setting, it works on my tablet too using the stock video player.
Ah, good to know. Shame the stock player doesn't handle subs within mkv files.

MX Player and hw decoder

I have a bunch of mkv's I decoded myself from some dvd's using a free software for windows, but when I play them with mx player on the note 10.1 I can only use sw and not hw.
Anyone who knows what the problem may be?
No, but I have the same experience. Many video's need SW b/c HW will either not play, or produce audio mismatch.
I use hw for video and sw for audio... Works fine but doe go out of sync when just using hw...
Why do you convert dvds to mkv ?
You can convert them to mp4 or avi with ac3 audio.
The files are smaller and the video quality is the same.

cos it's an easy software and process: put in the dvd, select language and subtitle, click convert and in a few minutes I get the movie ripped to an mkv file.
