I thought that the Inspire supported .avi.... Am I wrong? I don't know much about media files, but I know that they generally have a video and a audio stream. Some of my .avi files are standard def videos but don't play. Some have .ac3 audio and from what I looked up, it's not supported (at least for CM7). Okay, that much I figured out, but other videos with different audio streams don't work either. Usually, the video stream is xvid or dvix (that's what Gspot says at least).
P.S. Tried Rock player (both the lite version in the marketplace and the optimized arm7 version online), but the frame rate still seems bad (17-25fps).
Any ideas? Or am I wrong thinking that the Inspire supports avi?
Yea I saw a couple of "mouths" claming it supported .avi a few weeks back.
I have had no luck personally with avi that is placed on the SD. However if you are in a position to stream from windows it works fine. I duno if we are both missing something hahaha but yea no go on a couple of .avi files i tried....
maybe its a sampling / BR thing.(?)
I see you are having "streaming" problems. I ve had no problem streaming except on some avi's the sound/picture wont sync no matter what i do. Sorry i missed the streaming part of your post. my bad.
the lack of a proper file explorer and video player are the only two things that suck so far... I can live with that.
Try arcMedia or VPlayer Advance from market. It's free.

it plays all the formats it claims to? wow.. you haven't had any issues with it at all?
It works really well, .mkv files play choppy, but any of the .mkv files I converted to mp4 play great. Divx rips play really well, they often look clearer on the small screen than on my monitor!
Been using it for weeks. Plays the most formats I've ever seen of any android player. Best part... Its free!!! Wish I could find a stand alone player for .swf format movies.
Now they want 10 bucks for it!!! Not worth it. But you can still use it. NAGWARE
ROCKPLAYER plays all avi files....
Its all I need )
doesnt work with hdmi out
If its not in the market I won't buy it.
never tried it yet, might in a bit though...

It now is and is out of beta
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
beta version gave me a bad humming buzzing sound when it got quiet in all my .avi files hopefully they fixed it..
that's weird.. i haven't heard any humming sound, although avi audio and video lags. i don't know why.
oh and i tried an mp4 720p video on it, such lag... i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's an otherwise good player.
Yeah, I downloaded the new release today, they changed it to ad/support or pay if you don't want to see ads.
Videos I had encoded into mp4 that played pretty well before, and flawlessly through the phone's video player, now are laggy, especially when you skip through the video.
mkv's still lag, avi/divx still plays well.
I hope they fix all this soon.
I've been using it since it was leaked awhile back, love it.

I don't have any except for when seeking through the files or playing after pause. For a few short seconds audio is choppy or there is none. Also so far I can't get subs to work. Oh and I forgot about HD, well you can fahget about it. 720p vids of bleach, in mpg format, that also seem to have low bitrates since its only 300 plus mbs didn't work. That was with the beta though for the latter.
It only supports .srt UTF-8 subtitles currently.
The application definitely needs some polish. It can't play most HD files yet, and needs more support for other subtitle formats and audio types, but it's the most capable player on Android. One of the only ones that'll play divx files flawlessly.
I love it used the beta for ever but yes it is out of beta and on the market get it while you can
One thing I like about rockplayer that I haven't seen posted anywhere is that it plays flv's. I have ton of those(I had a love affair with youtubedownloader for a while!)
How do I associate it with video files to make it the default video player?
Should I be able to open a file on my LAN via the wireless network in ESTRong explorer and play it?
Is it possible to play .avi videos on Transformer? I have tried to play videos on MicroSD but have been unsuccessful.
Try using rockplayer?

Moboplayer, free from the Market, does a nice job.
Rockplayer seems to work, thanks!
AVI, the container, is fine and Android should have no trouble with. But, there's also the codecs that the video data is encoded in, as well as the codecs for the audio data.
Those may or may not be supported, especially if they're older files using some ancient and crappy codec.
Edit: Bah, OP responded as I was writing this
I know this is an old thread but hopefully someone can still be patient and help me out.
I just recently got the TF101. I think it's the plan TF101, not the "G" version. I got it through a Groupon deal so it didn't have a lot of technical details.
I'm brand new to Android and I want to watch AVI files on the Transformer using a microSD card. I've downloaded a bunch of the usual suspects (MoboPlayer, BSPlayer, Rockpayer, VPlayer) and so far I like MX Player and Dice Player the best.
Here's the problem:
I've formatted the microSD on my iMac as FAT32 and added tv show folders. **Only SOME of the avi files play without any "read" errors** I know avi's can have all sorts of codecs but for my collection of Friends tv show I personally ripped all the episodes from a dvd set using Handbrake and used the same setting for all the videos. So why are some working flawlessly and other videos can't play at all?
Is there something that I'm missing that I need to do to make all my avi's compatible? Do I need to download something else aside from the ARM codecs req by each app? Is it because I'm using a non-brand microSD?
All help is appreciated... Thanks!
I want to move avi files from my laptop to my xoom and watch them is that possible? if not what kind of video files can I play on the xoom?I wanna catch up on rescue me before the new season starts
I use MoboPlayer. Works great for most file types.

I use this one as well.
I'm doing the same thing with Fringe . I have some episodes that were recorded in HD (each episode was around 350-400MB) and they looked beautiful on the Xoom. I was also able to play MKV files using Rock Player, but it was pretty laggy. I think that may have to do with them being close to 2gb files though.
vplayer also seems to work well
and also I am now using Plex to stream them from the laptop (acting as a media server) to the xoom without having the files on the xoom
Hi all,
Interesting reading as for some reason RockPlayer wouldn't work on my Xoom much to my horror but i am now using VPlayer instead and so far it hasn't let me down or diaspointed me with its performance. Using Opera Mobile i am actually downloading my new US Tv shows straight to my Xoom and then either watching them on it or using the micro HDMI to HDMI to output it to my monitor that is also hooked up to my JBL speakers and powered subwoofer and the results are nothing short of stunning IMO. I have only had my Xoom for a little over a week and am really happy with my purchase but of course looking forward to the upgrades it will get.

Glad it's working out for you - i only had issues with mkv's with vplayer that were juttering and stuff but was advised to try Plex streaming them afterwards as they may work
Out of interest - any good US TV shows we should be watching out for? I'm finding most shows I was interested in are being cancelled and have nothing to replace them...
What kind of shows do you like? I watch mostly TNT, USA Network, FX (mostly cool crime/spy dramas), Science, History and History International Channels.

i think if u have xoom, u can transfer your avi files to it for tring. from user manual of xoom, we know xoom supports H.264, H.263, MPEG-4, MP3, AAC, ACC+ Enhanced, OGG, MIDI, AMR NB, AAC+.
it can't support avi file. u can download a player or use a converter to convert avi files to xoom compatible formats. good luck!

xoom don't support avi format. some player can play avi videos such as qqplayer. another way you can use a video converter to convert avi to xoom playable formats such as H.264(mp4), H.263, MPEG-4, etc.
I am playing AVI files via a couple different players and experiencing the same issue - after an indeterminate (but short) period of time, the audio drops out and the video continues. I have tried Mobo, Meridien, QQ, and the player that launches from Astro. I am not sure what Htc app to use (if any-they seem designed for music or their video store) or if anyone else has seen this problem. The AVIs played fine on a vibrant, so I suspect it's not the files. However, YouTube works fine, so I am at a loss for what to do next. Any thoughts?

Thought it was just me!
Yeah, I am on my second device and still within my 14 day return time frame and have had the same problem on both. I was unsure if it was a glitch in the phone itself at first so I had it replaced in-store, but now I think it may be due to the Sense 3.0 UI. I have until next Friday to decide if I want to keep it and unless HTC opts to unlock the Bootloader, I think it will get returned!
This topic appears on HTCs forum and was created by a different user. It looks like it is affecting some users, now I am curious whether it is widespread or a fluke.

AVI sound issue
Hi, Im on a UK Vodafone branded sensation and am getting this problem. Ive tried the following players:
V Player
Stock
ES Strongs player
Rockplayer
And the audio seems to drop after 30-50 seconds, was playing a 800Mb ish AVI of the hangover. Video carries on and audio returns if I move the time slider, have played .mp4 files with no problems.
dice player
i have same issue - try DICE PLAYER, its working for me
This happens around 1:38 into an AVI file, it seems to only happen if you are using the hardware (or system) decoder, if you use a player that has software decoder available then there is no problem. I use QQplayer and let it do QQplayer decoder or auto in the settings and AVI plays fine. This does chew up extra battery though so I have just been converting files to MP4 using Handbrake LOL
Try Diceplayer.
Dice is the best player for Sensation.
Diceplayer can play 720p H.264 + DTS/OGG/FLAC MKV file.
longer battery life.
How is the Video playback on our Sensation?
I'm currently at Android Revolution HD Rom.
And I can run some 720P 600MB MKV BDRIPs
But when I tried a 1.5GB 720P MP4 File it won't work and the phone seems lags/freezes. Black screen no sound
Btw I'm using Mobo Player
Anyone can recommened a better player?
I just want to test the power of Sensation plus the large screen with qHD Resolution is really a great treat.
Diceplayer is the best

i made a thread about this a few days ago. I hate to keep comparing this phone to my hd2, but this one does not handle simple processes fluidly like that one did. the hd2, once you had the right player, handled all codecs properly and it did not matter how big the file was. I played a 2 gig Watchmen .avi movie and had NO hiccups. I have gone through 5 players to try and find the one that will handle movies smoothly. None works as it should. I did not have to convert movies either. This is really irritating me.
Try arcmedia. It's the only player that won't cut off sound when I watch a movie for nor than 5 minutes. Ive tried 11-12 players and this is the only one that worked.
Hope it helps

i am using DicePlayer 1.1.3. It is hardware accelerated and I can play 720p TVShow mkv (1,09GB each) flawlessly. 720p and 1080p mp4 can play in default media player app. I have even tried 1080p mkv, file was source.code.2011.BluRay.1080p.DTS.x264-CHD DicePlayer handled it wery well without any lag and video & DTS audio in sync all the way.
I dont know if I am allowed to attach apk's, if I am I will attach the file later...
HW Acceleration don't work. Using Dice Player 1.1.4, Just blackscreen but the seek is still counting, with no sound. With Software Acceleration tried it on MoboPlayer. It got video but the sound is ugly fcked up
newset diceplayer version is v1.5.2
try diceplayer trial version.
I bought vplayer at first, but because it only used SW rendering the quality was far from great. Then I bought Dice player, as it supported HW acceleration. I've had my share of problems with it, but it was definitely worth it. Updates almost daily removed the crash after 5 minutes, improved the interface, added better subtitle support. I don't understand, why people mention the version 1.1.4, which is quite old. If you base your decision on such an old version you're making a mistake. There's really a huge difference since then and the program is updated very often.
Picture quality is just awesome and I managed to play everything so far. Didn't try HD yet, as I only have limited card space.
so its not just me....
From looking at all the responses it appears that some of us are having a problem with the way the Sensation is handling video playback. I have already paid for apps that worked on a lesser phone. This is a real concern to me.
