The title says it all, I saw on Motorola Developer site that it's able, but when I try running one, it doesn't work! Is it a bug, or only me?

You're gonna have to be a little more specific when you say 1080p playback...
Download tube mate, download a 1080p video, try running on your device

The point is 1080p is very vague. What video format, container, etc?
Historically, the xoom has always had issues playing high profile h264 content. The container doesn't really matter. Using known software decoders provides low framerate playback at best. Its likely we'll have to wait for next gen hardware to get some decent high profile playback.

This is the only app that I've found that can play just about everything. It has played mp4, avi, and and mkv. Just wanted to let everyone know about it.

Does it play rmvb? I just placed an order on 32GB Transformer, waiting for it to arrive now.
Cool, I'll check it out tonight! Thanks!

Also try Vital Player. It has played everything I've thrown at it (AVI, MKV w/ subs) with no lag and better picture quality it seems. All of the other programs QQPlayer, MVideo, etc that used to work fine on my other tablet all have a serious lag issue and the video is pixelated badly. Of course these are high quality vids (which I was told Tegra 2 tabs won't play well if at all), but Vital Player seems to prove that wrong.
I've tried vital player. Still getting lag tho. I've read it's because the android os doesn't work fully with the tegras hardware acceleration.

I tried this and Vital player and both of them stutter on 720p MKV files.
After further testing, yes it does. I wish VLC would release an app already.

So I'm thinking of getting the AT$T HTC One X. My dad got one when it released and has been really happy with it. I tried it out and I like it too, but there was one problem I had. I was trying to play some music videos that I had which were downloaded in 720p H.264, and they wouldn't play well at all. They stuttered, the audio lagged, overall it was unwatchable. I tried a few different apps like Diceplayer, BSplayer, and a few others, but it was the same on all of them. Now, when I look at the specs of the phone, it claims to have H.264 support. So I am wondering if this is similar to the ATRIX 4g(my current phone) in that it can hardware decode H.264 content, but not if it is encoded in Hi-profile H.264. I really don't want to bother with converting media files before I can play on the phone, especially since I watch a lot of things with subtitles, and its a huge pain to make encoders keep the subtitles.
So if anyone can give me some info about how to get H.264 and specifically Hi-profile H.264, I would greatly appreciate it. If I can get this working on his phone, I will go out and buy a One X tomorrow.(I tried searching but I haven't been able to find anything.)
Try using MoboPlayer or MX player to play x264 videos (or any videos really). They both have hardware support and don't have a problem with any of the x264 videos I made.
Got it to work with bsplayer with the armv7 support codec

Mx player for the win, simple interface, executes any video you throw at it

This. Try going to software decode if you run into issues with hardware decode, but between both modes, it has played every video file I could throw at it perfectly.

use mx player, hardware+ works for almost every format including mkv and be sure to use the arm v7 codex with neon acceleration for better battery life and performance.
Hey guys i just want to ask if any of you have tried playing 1080p or even 720p videos on the nexus s because im running on slimbean 3.0 marmite kernel and I used bs player to play HD videos but it will not be a smooth playback... does anyone have any idea on how to make the playback be smooth? Poor maybe this is hardware limitation?

Use MX player. 720 is fine.

Try MoboPlayer

If you haven't come across any solutions, I'd suggest Dice Player.
I've tried VLC player and it runs HD videos smoothly and amazingly. It's still in BETA but it's amazing. I'd give it a try, it's free so you won't be losing anything. It also plays any format and you can use it to listen to your music. Another cool feature is it allows you to stream videos on it.

I don't know if BS Player has the option but use MX Player and while your video is playing, choose SW Decoding, since HW decoding makes the video stutter

Whitch kind of videos is best for the J??
Hd? Mp4 HD? Mp4 720p?

well you can enhance the quality (not resolution). if you are interested see my thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121645
Just share my experience although mine is Xperia Miro.
The device is capable to hardware decode PSP MP4 video(480P), H264 Main Profile @3.0.
720P videos that required software decoding are varies from case to case, it maybe smooth or lag if the video bitrate is high.

If by firmware video you mean the 'Xperia HD Landscapes' video, it was encoded at 854x480 resolution in baseline profile with a good bitrate.
In my opinion, the best settings are the same used in the landscape video.
Main profile skips frames at a high bitrate. So don't use the main profile.
And regarding HD videos, J relies on software decoding which in truth is not enough. So even if you try HD videos, go for a low bitrate.

Can't say I watch too much 1080 video on my phone (do most of my video watching on my Note 8 tablet), but MX Player is what I use too.
The HTC stock player has always been a joke. Its not compatible with a lot of formats/codecs, I've never really made any use of it aside from watching the videos I've taken with the phone's video camera. In general, I've never been much a user of stock players from any manufacturer. There is always going to be incomplete format support and/or performance lag. I'm guessing its due to licensing of various proprietary formats/codecs. Good 3rd party players are the way to go on Android.
Why the stock player lags now on Sense 5, when it didn't before, I can't say for certain. Lots has been updated in Sense 5, but HTC seems to break as many things as they fix sometimes. So this may be one of those cases. I haven't read about this issue before, so there is likely no easy fix.
