[Q] How to play WMA files? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. I see that the pre-install music player does not play WMA files. Does anyone know if it's possible to make the default music player work with WMA, maybe by installing a codec or somesuch? Alternatively, can anyone recommend a tablet-friendly media player app to replace the default?

Nope, no such thing as installing "codecs" under Android.
Quick search on the market for "wma" shows that poweramp can play wma. Software decode for audio should be pretty easy so there are likely to be a number of 3rd party audio players that can play other formats.

I reccomend XBMC media player. Beta 2 is out and is reasonably stable, and it is easy to install a touch friendly skin. Go to xbmc.org to download.

Same here. I need a videoplayer with m3u-support.
Hast du schon eine Lösung gefunden?
WinAmp
I'm not very sure if this will work but try WinAmp, you can use it for free from the Android Market, but because WinAmp is a computer media player then I guess it may be able to play it.
ANY1 any solution for this? I have exactly the same problem, apart from the receiver which is Kathrein instead of Dreambox. I found Mobo Player, which is supposed to play the stream, but it does not show any video nor audio, although showing time running, as if playing. Any developments on this matter?
thanks,

Any ways to detect songs in flac format?

Hi guys, right now I'm using playerpro to play .flac songs. But the problem is the player can't detect .flac format. I can only play it using file explorer (i.e es explorer). So I was wondering is there any ways to allow my sensation detect those .flac format songs?
Thanks in advance.
I believe if you have the VLC media player available on the market, that will detect and play FLAC format. If you don't, I am unsure of the capabilities of the music player that is included with the Android OS. I believe it to be MP3, and MP4 but nothing else. That is why I recommend VLC. Also if you have the new WinAmp app from the market that also supports FLAC file types.

[Feature request] AVRCP bluetooth metadata

jackleung said:
Hi, I made a feature request on January but got ignored (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!s...avrcp/mx-videoplayer/6DZi_O3O9Vw/G-SX_Luc0uwJ). And seems like there is another user requesting the same thing (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/3JVFC214-Ds).
Basically, there are song titles, artist, and album info inside the mp3/mp4 files and those info can be display on AVRCP devices like many car audio systems, and bluetooth headset like Sony MW-600. I have no problem in getting those infos displayed on my AVRCP devices by Poweramp (even mp4 video file). But this feature is missing for MX Player, I wonder if this could be added to the future feature list. Thanks.

Since Poweramp can already do this for mp3 files, I assume you want this for mp4 music videos?

Both mp3 audio and mp4 video files. Poweramp can handle both, but I prefer MX Player since poweramp is just an audio player after all. Thanks.
AVRCP bluetooth metadata
I've got "smart" bluetooth speakers. They are so smart that if the AVRCP status says that the playback is paused, that means that no sound is getting through. So it would help if MX player would at least set the status to "playing" so that the speakers would allow for sound to come through. For now if I want to use MX player, I'm forced to connect the audio cable and loose the media control functionality (play/pause, next/previous).
P.S.: I'm using MX Player Pro from play store

[Q] playing additional audio on mx player.

I have a movie on my phone, but it's audio quality is really bad. I have downloaded an additional audio file for the movie but I am unable to play the movie with additional (later downloaded ) audio file. Is there a way to do that on mx player or doe's any other app on play store support this feature?
The easiest way is just to remux the video with the new audio using something like mkvmerge.
