to my amazement there doesn't seem to be anythign on stock that allows me to play video - other than - i'm guessing the gallery for video i've recorded myself.
seriously?
Nexus is pure google experience, so it assume you to use youtube
there are tons of free apps, the best one is MoboPlayer
The gallery app does scan for videos stored in your SD, I guess you are just meant to play videos using the gallery app. Sounds counter intuitive I know. But keep in mind it supports very limited number of formats, which I know of only mp4 and 3gp. To play other formats, install a video player from the market as suggested.

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?

currently you can't by reading most forums. best to convert until something comes up.
I have purchased an ePad 2.2 android tablet for my nephew. I've successfully loaded songs and music videos from my iTunes account to a micro sd card. I have been able to play them on the tablet with no issues. I also downloaded a couple of movies but I've been unable to get the movies to play. The odd thing is the file formats for the music videos are the same as the movies, (.m4v). Yet the music videos play and the movies do. I didn't convert any files to different formats. I'm only using the "My Video" app that came installed on the tablet to play the music videos. Yet the "My Video" app won't play the movies. I'm guessing it's because the movies have an index whereas the music videos are just plain videos. Also, to get my iTunes files from iTunes to the 16 gb micro sd card I simply did a drap and drop in folders I created called music, music videos and movies.
I've searched all day and have found nothing to help. Does anyone have any clue how I can get the movies to play? Is there an app I can download? I don't have access to download thru the Android Market. I've been using Amazon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! U can email me at [email protected]. Hopefully I've included enough info to be helpful. Please ask questions if I haven't.
Thanks so much,
Dgj
The standard video app is rubbish but most video players like mx video player for example will play your files. Just try a few free ones and see what you prefer, you may find some at getjar.com which gives you free apps and is a respected site so you will find a lot of market apps free there.

play itunes videos on Android tablet
itunes videos are drm protected, you have to get a DRmare M4V Converter to help you remove DRM. check this: macobserver.com/weekly-sponsorship/sponsor-drmare/
Does anybody have a YouTube app or client that allows video playback while screen is off?

Try Play Tube free. It plays videos in background and screen off. Even let's you create playlists.
Its in the play store.

Ahhh here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213945
I've used a few modded youtube apps and I love this one by far the best. The developer, OsamaGhareeb is amazing. Constant updates and is usually very active in his threads. It's calld OG Youtube Downloader. It allows you to download youtube videos to your sd card, also has the option to download it in MP3 format if there's a song on there you wanna keep. However, for your purposes the screen off playback option works great! I use to use it all the time listening to youtube videos and falling asleep lol.
Good morning,
I would like to ask, why I cannot choose to play a streaming video (like youtube videos) with mx-player and I can only play the stream with the browser built-in player. I use opera browser, but I have already tested a lot of different browsers without seeing any difference; the browsers don't give me the option to use another player, they don't see mx-player as an appropriate app.
Also I tried, to copy and past the videos URL into Network Stream box, but it doesn't work anyway.
Thank You for the support.
I use tubemate to watch youtube videos with less res.
Instead of downloading you can select watch it and select any player you want.

I still would like to figure out if there is a way to stream/play youtube video's automatically to my MX player...
The reason I want to find out, is that youtube is fast becoming the new music player of today... just type in a search for a band/artist (ie. "michael jackson") or general selection like (ie: "salsa music") and you'll be listening for hours to your favorite music.
But using the youtube app or the native browser is not satisfactory, because they will both stop playing/streaming once you lock the screen of your phone.
So if I want to listen to my favorite music while running, I can not use these sources.
MX player has the ability to keep streaming/playing music while the screen is locked...
And that is why I'm looking for a way to stream from youtube to this player.
Help!?!

Hello, are there any alternative YouTube apps that anyone could recommend? The most important functionality I'm looking for is the ability to play mobile-restricted, age-restricted and site-restricted ("This video contains content from xxx. It is restricted from playback on certain sites") videos. Optionally, I'd like the app to allow me to:
play audio only
watch videos on 60fps (I know that Google app allows it but some other apps I've tried don't)
either use my Google/Youtube account or save videos in other ways (playlists)
