[Q] Can anyone play all kinds of music files and video files from their Asus Pad?

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?

Divx.. how to register?

So clicked on the Divx vod in about phone and is telling me u must register your device to play Divx bla bla. Once u click a pop up shows giving u a serial number and a website to register. I tried the website so I can register my device but no way I can see where to register. Website tells u a way to do It but I can't either find the Divx player on my phone. Lol. This. Stupid but just wondering... or our phones are registered already?

Divx player is for playing divx video formats. It uses a Divx codec that compresses lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality.
If you need more info. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX)

Some are running custom ROM's with the functionality removed. Follow this post to get it back.

Still don't understand what this is for...DIVX plays fine on the stock player without registering anything. What am I missing?

This is for playing back paid DivX files that have Digital Rights Management (DRM) included.

Did all this and the vod registration "transfer video" interface did not see my G2x even though windows popped up a "what do you want to do with this" so I closed the divx file transfer interface and copied it over using windows.
When I tried to play it on the G2x it said I'm not authorized. Tried deleting and re transferring and it didn't work.

Kinda suspected that's what it was...just wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation. I try to avoid DRM, but I guess being able to play the stuff could be a plus. Thanks, again.

Ive never seen Mobo Player go out of synch.
Did you try changing hardware/software mode and trying that?
Mobo player is the best so far imo.

I agree. Mobo Player is the only one I've been able to find that I can stream video with my Tversity media server. Been able to play everything I've thrown at it so far.

Im using rock player, it played EVERY video file i have asked it to run.

try diceplayer
Rock/Mobo/Vital/vPlayer can not use hw decoder when playing file that isn't supported by system like MKV(+DTS/FLAC).
Diceplayer can play MKV/M2TS files using HW Decoder.so
diceplayer use almost same power as stock player. sw codec base player need more power.
Xperia Play have QSD8255. it can play 720p High level 3.1~4.1

I had issues with RockPlayer on my XP, can't remember if I tried MoboPlayer.
I'm using arcMedia Player and that has played everything I have thrown at it.
Android's media playing capabilities definitely seems to be weaker than that of iPhone and Windows IMHO.

You just access the media server address in your browser and use the web interface to find the video you want that way. Then choose Mobo Player to play the video.

Thanks for mentioning of diceplayer - i tried it and seems good for everything but cannot play WMV files - it has an option to play them stock but regardless of what I set it too does not play them.

you dont need a DNLA server such as ps3media center or tversity to stream your media.
Install the cifs/tuns modules (or flash my system.img with it all built in) and use cifs manager to map your pc's network drives to your sdcard.
You can now stream video,pictures and audio over your wifi network without any extra software running on your PC.
and if you wanna get tricky you can run a vpn to your pc and connect to it and stream music while away from your house ;D

Thanks for the recommendation on arcMedia. It worked flawlessly with .avi, .div, .divx, .srt subtitles in spanish failed with accented letters and non-english characters but japanese subtitles worked perfect, and they look really sharp.
Even though MoboPlayer was recommended by a lot of people and someone reviewed it (I searched for that thread but I couldn't find it again), .divx wasn't recognized as a video file, .div closed after a split second and .avi's audio was out of synch like hell. I didn't even check if subtitles were supported.

Mobo has worked the best transfered plenty of BR Rips from PB and they look amazing on the xplay. People at work are like wtf.

Someone mentioned this to me, how do you go about setting a vpn up, would it work for network connected storage?
Also how safe is it to use?

don't know about vpn but get "File Expert" from the market and you can map network drives (including NAS drives, i.e. PC can be off) and stream video via wifi (dice player or other players supporting your formats will be needed, otherwise your are limited to MP4 format) - I mapped my NAS device using internal IP address - don't know how secure it would be if you enable external web access to it through external IP and not sure if it would work as an FTP or something for downloading only not streaming possibly.

I use upnplay for streaming over a network in conjunction with moboplayer works great (probably the 2 best free apps iv ever come across).
Im interested in setting up a vpn to access my content whilst out and about or through someone elses wifi. Might have to invest in a sling box

I use Wyse PocketCloud from the Market to access two machines at work - one via remote desktop to take control of it, one with UltraVNC to share with other people on it. But if it's file sharing not just using your PCs' desktops - one of the guys here uses remote desktop to put files he needs into the Dropbox remotely, then picks them up in the Dropbox on his mobile. I don't use Dropbox yet - want to try setting up external access to the network files first to see how they work in File Expert if at all. Maybe TUN/CIFS modules are better for that but I haven't tried them out either.

Mobo Player the best!
and for audio FYI, i'd go for PowerAMP!

I'm using rock player, no issue for me so far.

[Q] Media Streaming to Phone

I have been trying to find an app that will allow me to stream music and video's to my phone. I found the GMote app and it worked well for what it is, but it will not play back to my phone any video that isn't .mp4 it seems. AKA - .avi and xvid. Is there some other app that I haven't found that will allow me to steam these to my phone? I did a search through the forums and couldn't really find anything. Thanks in advance.

Bump ^^
Anyone know anything about this or does an app like this just not exist?

Wait for VLC media player

Orb live or plex will do it with a server app installed on the PC. The Android app costs money but the service is fee.

Well Skifta was a damn bust! Only single folders unless you load that CRAP called XMBC on your system and than it's such an awful interface I could not even get a single folder added to the videos.
Has nobody found a good solution for this yet!

Best stream/video player?

What's the best video browser player to use for you? You know how when on browser and says "complete action using" and you choose a player depending if you have any installed..the default one on cm7 is not something I like. i want one that loads it and keeps that load so if I go to the beginning oof the video it wont need to reload.

The best media video player that i have come across so far is MOBOplayer can play pretty much any file format you throw at it, i was introduced to it by a friend and never looked back.
It should be on the market if you search for it.

I usually use coreplayer.

Mx video player
Hit thanks if it helps....
Hackdroid...

My vote goes to MoboPlayer.

i recommend QQPlayer...its nice

I like MoboPlayer. Also has a handy screen lock feature if you want kids to watch stuff on your phone.

So does mobo player work with online videos?
"Edit: doesn't work on online videos.
