Plays in "MOVIES" App but not in "MOVIE STUDIO" - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something very strange is going on.....
I used my new Camileo S30 camera to record a 720P , MP4 video. It works fine in Movies App on my xoom....But "Movie Studio" says "The Video Clip Cannot Be Added to your project".....Im baffeled to as why it cannot be added??
I used a different camera to record 720p , in mp4 format and its works in movie studio...I opened gspot and the codecs are almost identical...
Can anyone Please help me make it work!!?!?!?

hi did you find a solution to this? I have the same issue. cheers

Same problem here on Asus Transformer running Honeycomb 3.2
Hopefully Google/Asus will sort it out for ICS and make it so Movie Studio is a proper iMovie alternative...
Right now, the only thing it seems to be able to edit, is it's OWN footage, and I won't be holding my tablet in my hands whilst Skiing..... That's what the Kodak ZX5 is for....

Hi ajeet,
thanks for the effort, i noticed some bugs on my htc desire (oxygen rom , android 2.3 )
it skipped the first 30 seconds of my video
audio/video wasnt in sync (maybe cause of the skip? )
subs didnt show up
some infos about the video:
video: MPEG4 (H264) 712x480 29,97 fps
audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo
Subtitle: Advanced SubStation Alpha
//edit:
forgot to extract the mplayer subtitle folder ><
subs are working now, even though the progress bar makes it impossible to read them ^^
best regards
Kemo
Great job, I tried an MKV BDRip with MPEG-4 video and AC3 audio. Works flawlessly on my [email protected]
However, in the subtitle there are "á é í ó ő ú ű" letters and instead of these, there are some weird symbols shown. I tried this with SRT and SSA subs saved as UTF-8, but no luck.
Atm, this looks promising, so keep it up.
+1
Edit: please, for heaven's sake, avoid RapidShare. But if you like RS, then use multiupload. Thanks
Option key will hide the statusbar/seekbar
i try avc + aac mp4 (640*360 + 44Khz/128kb) on my milestone eclair
it too slow so not sync and i try the stop the play it crashed
Nice work. I only have flvs on my phone right now, but they play very well. quite responsive too.
Could the controls hide on screen tap as well as menu button?
Also, how mplayer is this? I realize that the frontend is going to be original work, but wonder how much porting you had to do for the player itself.

You can use option key to hide menu(s) . I have used sdl ported by Pelya(commander genius) for audio output and written video driver for android from scratch.

So due to some bug neon acceleration is not working with this version. I will fix that then you can watch h264 w/o any issue.
screen shots would be cool and if you can get some of the gpu/cpu accelerations combos working on higher end devices like Hummingbird and Powervr.
Very nice it works even on the archos tablet and without any stutering or delays. Keep up the good work.
This is the first non stock media player that works good for general use.

great player, best i've found on the market yet.
It's perfect for my Legend ! the best player for the video quality.
And subtitles work fine. The only "problem" is that I always have the interface at the top and bottom of the video. So, I can't read subtitles.
I tried to open settings but it does't exist.
Great job anyway
The best working video player on my X10. Just one problem I am from Slovenia, any chance for Slovenian, Croatian,,,,letters support.
Thanks
OK, I have tested streaming from an URL (Mpeg-TS-stream - dreambox)
1) on my HTC HD2 running HD Desire: works although there are some delay/lag. Also problems with syncronization of video/audio
2) on my Samsung i5800: I get pictures and then it pauses for 2-3 seconds and I get new frames and then it stops again and so on. Audio works without breaking. Perhaps its processor is not fast enough to handle a stream with a ratio of 1:1?
3) the preferences button seems disabled.
I look forward to next releases.

can somebody tell me what does it mean to stream a url? help
Streaming from an URL means playing (therefore sending) a file (be it video, music...) over the net on a remote device.
(Trying to keep the definition simple).

Plex works on the asus transformer

just wanted to let everyone knows that Plex is now fully working on the asus transformer.
I cant get it to install, just sits downloading with no info at all :'(
Left it downloading over night, was installed by morning, must of been some weird issue on google's side
Plex is awesome, especially on this Transformer
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
How do you get it to buffer the video? Mine just sits a 0% and then kicks me back to the media selection screen. Do you have to set port forwarding on the router?
Does it lag when playing 720p MKV files? I don't have my Transformer yet, but I've tested PLEX on my HTC Desire HD and it's lags pretty much when playing the 720p MKV's in 5 Mbps in the settings, changing the settings to 1,5 Mbps works fine but the quality is like crap.
Maybe it's just because of my Desire HD, or my broken graphics card
I couldn't get plex working, installalled the server side app on my Windows 7 x64 pc, installed the Android app.
Set it all up, port forwarded on my router, transformer sees all my movies but each time I select a movie it just shows a black screen for a few seconds and then bombs me back to the selection part again.
MP3's on the other hand all work fine, its just movie streaming that I couldn't get sorted out, all divx/xvid movies.
If anyone has any suggestions or pointers i would be greatful
thanks..just updated it from the market and it works great.. streaming 720p High profile files without any lag
this app is amazing.
just got it from the market....works perfect!
Does this work over internet or just over the LAN.

Have you tried enabling 'direct play' in the options, in the tablet app, not the server?
What's the difference between direct play and direct stream ?.

you either downloaded from Amazon or pirated it. Neither versions are the correct one for Honeycomb.

I don't know.. but I doubt it. It seems that all the work for show titles, cover art, and synopsis are created by the server app.. not the client app on the tablet.
Getting really bad quality on apple movie trailers and so so on local stuff. Definitely not HD. What settings do you use? Think I will ask for refund.

AFAIK Plex uses Direct-stream which downgrades quality based on its detection methods for the device. I've noticed definite quality downgrades on some of my stuff, but at least they play. Plex has been the only streamer that I have gotten to play hi-profile files, but it does downgrade them. Some people think it's a hardware problem with Tegra2, but I have not gotten any player (moboplayer, vplayer etc...) to play hi-profile mkv's without immense lag.
Now all Plex needs to do is get working on doing mkv container subtitles over streaming and it would be perfect!
Plex works amazing. Can't wait for Hulu and Netflix support.
Apple Trailers are bad quality but that was the only thing I coud see. But then again who cares, its Apple.

[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

Videos on TF700 from Canon HF M40

Hey guys,
Newish TF700 owner, also own a Canon HF M40 video camera ( I can't post a link-yet- to the camera - Canon HF M40) and a Cannon Rebel XSi. The photos from the rebel display beautifully on my TF700, however, I am having difficulty playing the AVCHD files from my video camera.
I have downloaded a few viewers from the store, and have been able to see some very "stuttery" footage with "stuttery" sound as well. Or other players only allow me to hear the audio (perfectly) yet see no footage.
I do not have the tablet with me, I know MX player was one of the viewrs I dl'd, I did try a few other (names escape me at the moment).
Anyone have any luck/tips on what I should do - or the process involved. Really appreciate any help !
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried BS Player?

Not sure, but I will tonight.
Is there a convertoer I could use that anyone is aware of ? Also, This was occuring both while trying to stream from my network as well as fully downloading to the tablet. I had not tried copying and installing it (although I'd assume d/l'ing it to the tab would be the same).
damn noobs eh ?
Thanks again !
for converting, you might want to try dvdcatalsyt or handbrake.

Nexus Player new Soap Opera Effect w/ v5.1

My Nexus player has been struck with the dreaded Soap Opera Effect. Essentially it's a motion blur type effect that affects streaming video. Netflix, Plex, etc.
This has been happening since updating to v5.1. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
This video will give you an idea. To see the effect, I had to run at 720p 60fps or higher.

Isn't 60fps going to do that every time? Go back to 24fps and enjoy...
Maybe I'm confused...
Yeah sorry, I didn't explain clearly.
On the Nexus player we're not watching 60fps content. Just regular 24 or 30 or whatever.
I posted the youtube video so that you might see an example of what we're seeing on our TV. When watching that example video, I was only able to see the motion blur when I was watching it at 60 fps.
If you're getting any sort of frame-interpolation on video playback it is more likely that it is being done by your TV (if you have a 120Hz+ television) then the Nexus Player itself, because as far as I know the player does not have the software or hardware capabilities to do so and even if it did it wouldn't showup as a bug it would have to be enabled with some sort of third-party hack or application.
tl;dr: if you're seeing frame-interpolation in your videos, check your TVs settings and ensure "Smooth Motion" or "True Motion" or anything with that sort of name is disabled.
We're looking into that. It's an old POS TV that does 1080p, and not much else. We looked through the menu's and online, but found nothing about motion or any sort of video processing.
I'm going to test the Nexus Player with another TV and see what happens.
can confirm
It's not the TV can confirm after the update the nexus player is experiencing soap opera effect. are there settings to disable the effects?
The same thing is happening to me since the Android 5.1 update on my Nexus Player, but only under certain circumstances. The tv it is attached to is 1080p 60hz.
If i cast from plex to the Nexus Player, I get the soap opera effect, however if I use the plex app on the Nexus Player itself, I do not get the effect. Its infuriating. Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?

I have the exact same issue. And my TV is an old Sharp 60hz which has none of that Motion/Flow technology. It only happens when I cast. No issue if I use the app. I am not sure I like this effect.
Ok....well this brings up my question....
I installed showbox via air share. ...I was seeing how well it works (testing it) it I notice on the whole horizontal bottom...2inch thick it's black/white. .........all of the movie is colored but the 2inch thick whole bottom is b/w. ....I also notice after 25 to 30 min into the movie it buffed and went to the beginning of movie (played on movie) haven't tried a different movie yet
It seems the soap opera effect only happens with apps that use the native android media player (i.e. Showbox, Starz Play, Encore Play) and it is in fact, VERY ANNOYING. I know Chainfire has a tweak that allows you to change the Hz for playback, but I haven't tried it yet.
i actually would like soap opera effect on my android tv box (mk808b plus)..any idea how the nexus player does it?

I'm also keen on trying to port it to my device, I did some digging and found the SDK responsible for it, sadly it's intel, so unless it can be ported to some other system it's essentially useless to us.
It seems to rely on some sort of ISV lib, probably standing for Intel Smart Video, so I presume it'll be a lot of work bringing it to other devices.

That is the only reason i prefer watching stuff on my pc(with SVP interpolation) even though my nexus AMOLED is awesome(on srgb of course)
