For some reason only about half of my videos on my sd card are playing properly. They work fine on my computer but once transferred to my phone either crash instantly or I get a prompt that says "This video cannot be played". I have multiple file types, mainly .mp4 and .avi Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Download a player from the market that plays the codecs you listed. The reason some files are not playing is the lack of codec support

Correct, the default video player has limited codec support. My favourite video player is MoboPlayer (available in the Market). Most of the videos I watch are .avi format and MoboPlayer works great!
I already tried that. I dl'ed moboplayer and qqplayer. Neither worked. It did the same as the default and just crashed as soon as I tried to open it. (The video not the player)

I am having a hard time trying to play SD files in Xvid codec. First, it doesn't show up in any of the player's list. And if I try to play the file through Astro or included file manager, I get an error message saying "This video cannot be played! Please contact to the Phone maker!" Anyone have issues like this?
All I can see/play is MP4/M4V files encoded for IPAD. I updated to latest FOTA.
use rockplayer
So I downloaded Rock/Mobo/Vital Players and all played fine using software decode(ffmpeg). So I assume hardware decoding of xvid is not supported by tegra 2?
it has no integrated support for AVI/MKV/RMVB,check the manual for details.
if you want to play these video files,use 3rd party video players instead,e.g. moboplayer,rockplayer...

It does but it hasn't been integrated into honeycomb yet.
i tried VitalPlayer 1.2.3 and it won't play and XviD files...crashes out when trying. Tried VP 1.2.7 and it won't even open .
haven't tried Mobo or RockPlayer yet...gonna try them tonight.
guys for some reason i cannot get either of these media players to play any videos, they both go to open a video, then jump back to the file explorer i started out trying .AVI videos but decided to try .3GP as its a native codec in android, even though the default gallery app can play the .3GP videos, rockplayer and Vplayer cannot anyone else having the same issues or is it just me
Can't help you with those players.
I use mvideo player and that works a treat.

will it play all my .AVI videos? i cant be bothered converting them all to .3GP haha
No it won't
Rockplayer latest version is working perfect for me...
Even with placebo streaming from my pc
Use moboplayer. It'll allow you to watch everything, including mkv files that have subtitles. I use it for anime and movies.
Although, some of my files won't play right if they're mkv in 720p.. the rest are fine

I had loads of issues with Rockplayer and Vplayer. I'm using ArcMedia now, works flawlessly. Plays flv files downloaded from YouTube etc. Also plays srt subtitles.
Moboplayer will also play embedded .ass subs.

Okay, this is a two part questeion:
1. Does the TF have a default video player? I tried to play a .avi file and it said that it failed to open (i navigated it using the file explorer)
2. If not, which is the best video player to use? Most of my files are in .avi format
It does have a video player. If the stock one did not play it then install moboplayer.

But when i click on oneof the videos after i installed mobovideo, it goes to the video mode and then goes away. What do i do?
A lot of video players can't run hd. Rockplayer(lite) works for avi files.

Change the decoding setting from hardware to software. Then moboplayer will work. Moboplayer settings.

Has anyone tried streaming an xvid video over wifi via a samba share using ES File explorer? Mine will not play. I'm on the stock kernel.
I've not tried to stream from ES but ive done it from splashtop browser no problem.

Samehere. Ended up using allshare..works great.
I just set up a share in Ubuntu 11.04 and copied a Sherlock (tv show episode) xvid video to the shared folder.
I am using a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with stock rom and NOT rooted - NO mods.
Oddly enough, when I click on the video using es file explorer it gives me the choice to run Mobo Player OR Mx Video Player but NOT the player that came with the tablet.
I couldn't get the video to play with the Mobo Player. I was able to get the Mx video player to stream and play it perfectly BUT only after setting the Mx video player to software decoding. It would not play with hardware decoding setting activated in the Mx video player.
Mx video player is free on Google Play apps.

annoyingly I am having similar problems. Hardware decoding only seems to work properly when I am playing a file locally. Whenever I am streaming a file via dlna it turns into a glitch fest.
What is strange for me is that nothing worked at all not even mx player until I had installed v player. Prior. To installing vplayer i was having errors about filetypes. Eg 'unsupported filetype video/x-msvideo.
Now vplayer is uninstalled and still everything functions correctly however I am still left without hardware decoding when streaming.
I am currently using minidlna server because its cli based, simple, light and faSt.
Anyway I hope someone has some answers as to why this is happening
The audio format might be causing probs. Also hw decoding does not like variable bit rates.

Hi.
I still haven't decided to buy this tablet yet. So I was wondering if the built in player displays subtitles embedded in mkvs, ass or similar files? I normally use moboplayer in order to play my soft-subbed videos on my cellphone since only a few players support this feature.
If this is not supported, is there another video player that supports this but also allows it be floating like the video player?
Thanks!

I believe that the default video player only accepts SRT subtitle file. MKV playback starts off a little bit slow but picks right up at normal speed after a few seconds.
In most of cases, it support srt. I had no problem on most movies, included mkv.
Try a app call BS player,its in the play store, I love it and it will search for the subtitles any movies you are watching..for you.

Use DICE player . It supports all subtitles and floating screen , and if subtitles are not synced properly but you don't have choice , this player can slow down subtitles or accelerate them during play .
