I hope this isn't a really stupid question....but...I have a movie i ripped from a dvd, and when playing it on the phone, I cant get it to play through the speakerphone...just through the phone as if I were talking on it.....what the heck am I doing wrong?....I want speakerphone....lol.....TIA....DIrtylarry
sounds like a codec problem, what media players have you tried the file in? I'd recommend you try vplayer if you havent already.
Have you also double checked that the file played correctly on a PC? Just to confirm the file works
Maybe I should rephrase this....I can play the movie just great....looks good....sounds good etc.But I have to hold it up to my ear to hear it......I'm trying to figure out how to play it through the speakerphone so I can sit the phone down and play the movie.....not a codex problem....thanks again.....

I did some searching, but all the posts appear to be older, and are discussing downloaded players. At work, we all have Droid Xs. My boss, recently reset his, and was working on downloading some video players. We download a lot of xvid files, and he wanted to be able to play them. Well, it appears one of his downloads has updated the built-in player to play xvid. The reason I think this is because after he dumped about 20 videos on there for transport, most...about 16 of them, had thumbnails in the gallery. I tried playing one, and loads directly up, and even has the little HDMI icon in the top corner. I went through the players he downloaded, and none of those appear to have the HDMI option. I've been trying to figure this out so that I can replicate it.
Has anyone else done this? I don't have the phone in front of me, but I know he got arcmedia and youplayer. I'm not sure what else, but I figure you guys may have some ideas.
I guess I've stumped the minds here. Thanks for looking.
UPDATE:
I just checked my phone, and now I'm able to playback one of the files. The strange part is that after seeing it happen on his phone, I copied the same file to mine, and couldn't play it. Gave the usual unsupported error. But today, I look at my phone, and there's a thumbnail of the video in the gallery. I click on it, and it starts playing, with the little HDMI option in the corner. WTF is going on here? I still have one file that won't play that I put on there. Does the built-in player support Xvid with certain options enabled/disabled?

This only allows you to control VLC on your PC, won't allow you to play anything on the phone.
Zune will convert 99% of the media it can't natively play and it will do it pretty quickly and with very good quality. At some point in the future we will most likely be able to copy/past files onto the device and use 3rd party video software.

every video I have on my computer has played on my hd7. These are mainly .avi files (downloaded tv shows and movies from graboid).

\what about youtube files . flv files ?
youTube files .flv files, I suppose can't, as I usually download the YouTube videos with iFunia YouTube Converter and then it convert the flv files automaticly for me.
There are 2 players that normally can play many file type.
VLC player and Gomplayer, VLC is free~
here you can get: download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html
No dice as of now. Not possible without usb mass storage support, how else would you copy&paste the files over? The Zune software will only sync files it supports.
I'd say convert your .flv files to a common video format that every device can use, like .avi or .mp4 to name a few. I do it for my music videos downloaded from youtube. Those file formats should copy over easily. If not, zune will convert them effortlessly.

thank you all for the reply. but the hell if i am going to back to converting movies before playing them. gone those days when i wanted to put movies on my nokia phone because it couldnt play **** but mp4 or 3gp.
i think i will hold on for a while. plus the fact i cant purchase paid apps because i dont live in the US is a deal breaker too.
i guess i should wait for while. bummer, i really liked the browser and the interface a little of the device.
so .. any updates since then or still nothing yet ?
Nope I wish there was though. I travel a lot and take that time to watch movies and tv shows on my phone. I still have to carry around my TP2 while I travel now to enjoy my media. I completely agree that the days of conversion should be over now. I used to laugh at other devices that couldn't play xvid natively and now I'm in that boat .
I really hope this feature emerges either natively or through a 3rd party eventually.
this is why 3 people I know of traded back to android again. they thought they could just ftp over a movie fike (like on ios) and play it on the phone.
one of them actually said "so my phone.... can't. share a file..... with other PHONES?"
then the other guys shook their heads and continued moving music around between themslves. no computers, no chords, and no transcoding.
the one guy bought a galaxy tab along with a thunderbolt, and tried to craigslist his samsung.
all because there is no fole support. wow.

After reading your post I decided to tinker a bit and found a semi-convenient workaround.
I tested downloading video releases for the iTouch and found that if I transfer them using the USB Device Enabler into the Storage\Video folder on my device choosing 'Don't convert just copy' when you transfer the video, then it shows up and plays back fine on the phone.
Obviously it would be ideal if i could playback any codec but for now this will do.
Hi guys, I put last night some OGG files in my wife's sensation and all i can hear is a high pitch noise out of the songs. I put the same files in the g2x i have and it played them fine. I try to use winamp and the other music programs( that don't came with the phone) to see if there is a just the htc player but none of them play them. I have also try to play the files in my g2x with winamp and it does not play them either , i can only play them with the player that comes with the g2x. I wanted to exchange my g2x for the sensation because of the screen bleed. Does anybody can confirm if the sensation can play OGG files for a fact. Do i have to go to settings and do something? thank you.

The first time I use the stock app to record a video, i happen to run a music app on background. It turned out that the video included the background music. I think this is amazing. But when i did it again and again, i didn't get the music in the video.
Does anyone have any experience on this ?
no one ever try? just run any music app (tune-in radio, pandora, whatever) and make a short video and see how it goes. I want to know anyone got the same problem as me. Thanks a lot!
Same here, its not just you. I want to be able to do exactly what you said you actually did. But no luck finding an app that will do it yet. All I need is it to play music while it records video. I only have one device to bring with me on a trip and I want to listen to music, while shooting the sunrise ANNNND have the music playing in the video. SGS2
hello,
like in the topic of my post said do i search an app, that can play the sound of a movie file, without
playing the movie.
all movie players work only with display on. i often listen to podcasts. and also often to discussions
or explanations brought in movie files, but the pucture is not important. only the voices.
and when i want to listen to such files, i want to have my smartphone in my pocket. listen over headset.
but with unlocked display, often buttons are unwillingly pressed and display needs toooooo much energy.
is there an app that can play movie sound with display of ???
thanks for answering
Try poweramp.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda app-developers app
You can also try Vplayer or asti media player. Both of them will play the video with the screen off. However, my vote goes to PowerAmp...
Qqplayer also can play video (sound-only) with screen off...
thanx for the answers...
ive tried poweramp...is not worth the money, for me! i understand others, who like the app,
but i realy dont like the interface. ill try the other, named above...
