Anyone know which media player can play encoded RMVB on Honeycomb? I tried Moboplayer, VLC, all the fairly well-known player but not one seems to work.
VLC.....? What?
Rockplayer works for me with rmvd
Moboplayer ftw

They don't work. The search goes on....
Moboplayer and rockplayer both work with .rmvb files.
I have noticed that Some files do not work. Most of my .rmvb files work open up perfectly fine.
Isn't there RealPlayer for HoneyComb? I mean, at least on 2.x it's in the market.

Where to get the RMVB format file? I have a converter, I hope I can convert the RMVB file for you.

You do realize VideoLAN will be releasing VLC Player for Android very soon.
Re VPlayer ~ since the dev went Paid only with this App it's caused quite a bit of negativity.
So, whilst waiting for VLC I would also recommend Rockplayer.
I used vplayer on the tablet, and noticed it was struggling with 720p MKVs, while the native video player was coping just perfectly.
Have now discovered mVideoplayer, which does handle MKVs perfectly, and is now my preferred video player.
Anyone tried QQPlayer???
http://android-apps.com/applications/media-video/qqplayer/
Mobile QQ player is one of the best video player application running on Android smartphones that supports all the popular formats of videos on the market, including RMVB, AVI, FLV, MP4, 3GP, MKV, MOV and etc. Its smart core technology auto detects video formats and makes it much easier for you to enjoy smoother, better quality videos with limited resources and smaller screen. Download from the Android Market for free now!
Mplayer was just ported to Android 1.6+. It was on XDA's twitter feed this morning. Haven't tried it yet on the Tab, but it should support pretty much every codec and container out there.
M player feels ok not really happy using it.

I am not able to find good video player which can play 720p mp4 files. I have tired vplayer, rockplayer which does not work for these files. Default player and QPlayer work fine but no audio .
How do i get audio back on default player or Qplayer.
i watch 720p video files that are in the mkv container just fine on the sgs using rock player what are the video and audio codecs inside of the mp4

I have tried rock player but it cant play videos properly. BTW here is the codec details
Video codec:- H.264 / AVC
audio code:- MPEG-4 AAC audio
Google it. To compile it you need the sdk

factory player not play multichannel aac this is true and there are lot of such in typically mp4 container... the other problems is vplayer and rockplayer not use hardware accelerated decoding in native mode so with strong files you will in trouble... more over these I simply don't know that fir the original player seems to need just some correct splitters as seems the decoder is very good for almost everything... maybe core player will play everything with hw decoding... hope...
What´s the best player for dreamdoid? With vplayer de-interlacing does not work very well and i have FCs
tried it but didnt play mkv file, may be the file is bad as nothing else plays it well either.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
would recomend mVideoplayer,, it plays my 1080p files, i can get subtitles from mkv files too.
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

AVI is a container, xvid and divx are codecs.... even myvideo.divx is in an AVI container.
OP is seeing a codec issue, just needs a player that supports the codecs he's trying to use.
Rock Player Lite or Mobo Player works fantastic.

speaking of moboplayer.... they have so many codec packs optimized for different chipsets... which one should we use?

ARM7 - but MoboPlayer will install the proper one by himself.
I use Moboplayer, Vplayer and Rockplayer. They all play divx, avi, xvid and the occasional mkv.

Just got my Transformer yesterday and overall I like it but one of the biggest issue that I found is that I cannot stream mkv files from my HTPC to it (or haven't found a way to do it).
Is there a player that supports streaming of MKVs ? Also, other than using Plex is there any other option to do streaming ?
DicePlayer can stream MKV files, on a CIFS/samba share. I suggest you try the trial.
While Dice player can't play a single MKV I've thrown at it (and I tried a LOT of different files) and is, IMO, a complete waste of money I second the CIFS mount suggestion. that's the only way I found to reliably and painlesly watch movies from my NAS.

I tried Dice player and it did not even play my AVIs so I don't know why it is regarded as such a great player.
Is there a noob friendly guide of using CIFS somewhere?

Dice player works great on my htc sensation, i can play all my hd stuff, was rather annoyed to find out that my phone can play video better than my tablet though. Apparently tegra 2 struggles with high profile h264.
DICE plays all my anime mkv's, It's by no means the perfect application but it does a good job with support for certain audio streams. I don't regret the purchase.
No problem with Dice Player playing mkv. For streaming from HTPC i use Bubble UPNP or UPNPlay but i think Bubble UPNP is more userfriendly.

I just download the two apps. Bubble is more honeycomb friendly, but it will be a paid app in september.
But, Dice Player through Bubble or Upnplay can't show the subtitle included in the mkv movie file. I have to download the mkv file in order to have the subtitle. Is there another way to do it through UPNP streaming only?

After a lot of trial and error I was able to stream mkv with the following combination
TVMoBili + Bubble + DicePlayer/Mx Player
Only with Dice player, the video does not shutter but Mx Player is the only one that shows embedded subtitles and unlike DicePlayer, I can skip ahead the video.

I use PS3 Media Server which work for ps3 and the ASUS tablet!
But MX Player (free version) is laggy when it come to play a 720p mkv video file. Dice Player is perfect with 720p file. It is a shame that Dice won't play subtitle when it play streaming videos.
Just saying. I'm watching a 720p video on my transformer right now using mxplayer and the armv7 codec for it and its running perfectly and no issues whatsoever.

Streaming wise, I use Qloud and it is awesome.
I still cannot stream MKV.DICE was lagging even for normal videos when Rockplayer was able to make it work well. Will try mxplayer.
Please remember that MKV is just a container, inside that container you can have almost any combination of video codec and audio codec. MP4 is also a container but it has a very limited range of allowed video/audio codecs, so it's much easier to support.
If you are using the Android system video decoding (The only way to get hardware accelerated playback) you will be able to play some 720p h.264 video streams. If you are just using the CPU to decode then 720p will never be smooth.
All these video players can do is try to unwrap the containers (Like MKV or AVI) and _maybe_ do soft-decoding on the audio if the android system doesn't support the audio codec (Like AC3/DTS)
If the player does full CPU decoding for the video stream you won't be able to play HD content smoothly, ever (Things that claim "Optimised for the Tegra 2 CPU" are still just doing the work on the CPU).
This means that there will _never_ be a Tegra2 Android app that can play _all_ MKV's it's simply not possible. This is why people are saying "Plays my MKVs fine" and other are saying "Won't play any of my MKVs"
After spending many frustrating hours trying to stream my mkvs, the only 100% working solution that I have found so far is to use MyCloud app an remote desktop into my HTPC. This way I not only have access to all my movies/tv shows I can play them with subtitles.
I know its not the best solution but at least it is a working one
I'm using Plex to stream movies, but I can't recall if I have tried any .mkv files. Can anyone confirm? If so, OP might want to try Plex... it's pretty slick.

Plex re-encodes on the fly so it'll play anything that the server can transcode in realtime. But the quality will be notably lower.
For SMB streaming I use ES File Explorer.
MX Player for avi's (SW).
MXP loads subtitles from the tablet.
Dice Player for mkv's (HW).
