Seems like some video/music formats can't be played on this pad.
Anyone know a good program to download that will let you play all formats?
and is everyones facebook widget force closing on them? like mine it keeps force closing.
Transformer only opens mkv, mp4, mp3, ogg as far as I know (I don't have the device). To open other formats you need to download apps - look into the apps thread or to Xoom forum for some direction (or search on market for file types you like to open).
for music use power amp. It works.
Rock player works for video, so thats every format covered?
Popular (for music) are also APE and MPC but searching the market reveals many, many apps that play them (and personally I convert all the ape files I get to flac anyway).
And yes, the facebook widget and the application itself "force closes" almost immediately.
I looked for the friend stream widget that I have on my Desire HD rom, but I guess that is part of HTC apps.

vital player ( free ) is also working well for me.
however annoyingly when using MyNet ( dlna ) you cant choose a program to open the video files with so the file just errors with can play this video type
Currently trying to play a 1280x720 -x264- MKV file. Standard player is full of green blocks when trying to run it. Using Rock Player the picture is very clear but it's very jerky like the frame rate is about 5.
Am I doing something wrong? Surely it should play perfect?

yea but is to slow and when you push the full screen botton you only cant see a white screen with the sound and nothin alse not another player ?
Mplayer is nice
Act 1 video player is pretty good. Pause and play with a tap of the screen and ff or rw by sliding your finger forward or backwards. full screen works great on the nexus.
Personally I just use the built in media player, works in fullscreen and gets the job done just fine.

Ok I give, where is this video media player? what is the app name on the N1?
if your movie isnt playing in full screen, then you didnt encode the movie to the correct resolution. encode your movies whether they be rips or mkv's, make sure you encode at 800x480 mp4, 24fps, AAC 96, good to go. if you have no idea what i'm talking about, then do more reading

It's called "Gallery." Your videos are listed alongside your pictures. Or choose a video with any file browser.

Yeah, I should've mentioned where it was, not exactly intuitive in my opinion. As carnegie0107 says it's the gallery app. I had actually installed Act 1 Trial because I couldn't find the built-in one and when I launched a video file from a file browser it asked if I wanted to open it in Gallery so I gave it a go and it worked like a charm. So no need to spend money on a video player unless it adds support for more codecs
Act1 is great. I had a 640*480 video that needed to be stretched to the full 800 pixels for proper viewing and Act1's full screen mode did the trick. It also shows battery level and time without being obtrusive and has quick access to brightness controls.

No. It doesn't work. I hope it has a video player like apple's. After click a key, the picture will be stretched at top and bottom. The left and right side will be cut a little. Note screen is 1280*800, but the 720p is 1280*720. if have this, it will be full screen.
Try MX Video Player it has extra codecs and such. Runs fullscreen, easier fast forward and rewind.

Tried all five codecs, I think the 'crop' mode should work, but it's same as full screen, there has a problem.
like coreplayer on winmo.
what is the best media player for X10 rite now?
dont wanna depend on mediascape default player..as it doesnt stretch the screen on some videos

double-tap the screen? And if they don't stretch out on the whole screen, then I would not like to see it fitting the whole screen. Since then it would look all pixelated and ****.
Yxflash can play most video files. I think that Meridian might stretch them out, like you want. I am not quite sure tho, since I convert them so that they fit the screen.
I gotta agree there.. Yxflash does play other types compared to others such as avi/divx files! If you are after a basic player, I think there's one called act 1 player..

try Wuzhenhua Player v4.1, free and has support for a wide range of audio and video formats. 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
Please let me know if someone would like to have the english translation of Wuzhenhua Player v4.1. Then i will help to do it.
Wuzhenhua 4.1 is already in English ^^x
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a media player collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject?

Media Go - Skyfire
I found that the SONY Media Go application can practically convert anything even old copy protected iTunes if you have DRM on your computer, If you are downloading off the phone browser try using Skyfire as this has built in video codecs for most video formats.

Hey Folks,
Has anyone got Vplayer running on the g-tablet ? I have rooted my tablet, and have access to the market etc. I also have the latest OTA from viewsonic.
Currently, if I try to run vplayer, it just tries to open the file (.avi in this case) and then closes ........ no errors
VPlayer sucks!
It plays NONE OF THE 13 Movies on my G-Tab. Even the listing of the folder is not sharp and clear. Like yours, it just opens and closes and never has any video.
Get Act 1 Video Player. It plays ALL the stuff I have Flawlessly. Just dfownload via the market to your phone, and G-Mail the APK file to yourself and open it on your G-Tab. It will have an "Install" option with which you can easily install the app. (you might have to save the file on your sd card before installing)
Aloha From Hawaii !
Vplayer on gtabletArrow
Thanks, ...... I will try that
Please look in the Themes and Apps section of this forum for multiples of discussions of video / audio players etc.
There are 3 candidates for top billing
Act Player
RockPlayer
Vital Player

My biggest issue with it was that if the device does not support a container (.ts, .ps, .mkv, etc) the player will not play it even if the internal codec itself was supported. ie h264, AVC etc.
Hi all,
I just got my Xoom in the mail yesterday so please forgive me if this seems like a really NOOB question but...
I was trying to watch some movies on my Xoom from a mobile website that I have used / watched without any problems on ALL of my other mobile devices including my SGS I9000M, Nexus S AND my HTC HD7 Windows Phone but when I try to watch these vids on my Xoom I immediately get an error stating that "this movie cannot be played".
I looked in my applications drawer and I do NOT see any "Movie Player" or "Video Player" app listed and this has me quite confused.
If there IS a stock "Movie / Video Player" can anyone tell me where it is hiding on the device and if there is NOT a stock "Movie / Video Player", can anyone tell me what the best app from the market would be that will play videos directly from the web in a seperate media player?
Thanks in advance...
There is not. Videos are tied into the gallery. I use MoboPlayer as a video player from the market.

What website is it? Does it require flash and do you have it installed? Maybe download dolphin hd web browser and try it on that.
Your in for a rude awakening. Multimedia sucks on The Xoom(Tegra2) and you need to 'convert' almost every type of movie file since majority are High or Baseline profile.

This, I'm hoping its a software issue that google can fix. I hope VLC can maybe create a software decoding solution for us too maybe.

Have you tried RockPlayer
Sent from my Galaxy S using Tapatalk.
Using a Nexus7 tablet w/Skifta and an app called DVD Media PLayer by Hadapp.com.
This the only combo of apps I've found that "kinda" plays DVD iso files.
I'm using Skifta to browse for ISO's on my Ubuntu server via Samba, then Skifta hands off playback to DVDMP.
Problem is video opens and either is very distorted or plays at 2X/3X speed.
DVDMP is not even listed on Hadapp.com but is a top hit on Play store for DVD player.
Just curious if anyone is getting same results, has found a fix, or knows of another app.
I know I can encode into a different video format, but would rather not.
Thanks
Heh found that DVDMP was doing Air Push ads as well. So I really need different app.
Anyone?

There are some adds wothe the player, but I do not find them annoying. If you want to remove the adds, the app is only $5...
Let me know if it worked for you?
