[Q] Video Playback bug (answered) - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
So I have had my TF300T for a week now, and I have the screen time out at 2 mins. I am using the app Mx Player to play .avi's. In the mx player app i have it set to keep the screen on. But after like after a random set of mins it stops the video and shows the last screen (video selection screen). Then the screen turns off after two minutes. This is probably an app bug, but are you guys having this problem? Do you think it is the app, the video file? If you have had this problem how did you fix it? I really like mx player... Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit: found out that the video wasn't in the right format
Supported video format for the Transformer Pad TF300 is: MP4 h264 and the audio needs to be AAC.

it is well known that video stops in middle..sometimes
it is unfortunate that mx player, dice player and bs player still cannot play all the videos well...... especially some full HD files like 1080p,720p MKV, MTS, M2TS videos due to the TF300 video format limit ( AVI, DivX, MPEG4, WMV, QuickTime, H.264 ).
to transfer MKV,MTS,TiVo,MPG movies to TF300 for enjoying in 720,1080p with these video players, you need a third party software to convert HD,full HD videos MKV, MTS, M2TS, FLV, TiVo, MOD, 3GP, MPG, etc to Asus Pad TF300.

Thank you so much for the help! I was starting to get worried that no one would help me.. thanks for the heads up that this is normal. So you say i need to convert the video to a better format. What is a good format? And what software are you talking about? if you need to send me a pm, go ahead. Thanks for the help!!

So with a lot of googling and a lot of time spent. I figured this out:
Supported video format for the Transformer Pad TF300 is: MP4 h264 and the audio needs to be AAC.
I tried MP4 h264 but using mp3 audio and it wouldn't work with the normal gallery but worked with MX Player(as it seemed, tested for an hour) with no problems or hick ups.
But i just tried a MP4 h264 using AAC audio and it does work with the normal gallery. I hope this helps someone else with the same issues i was having. I used DVDFab 8 to convert the file.

If you are having sound issues with mx player.. Use sw decoding
Better option is using dice player...

How to play video on Kindle Fire

I have some file video hd 720 on kf. So what the soft for play that?
Thansk
you an try VLC Media
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275179
I use Moboplayer. Works well with all formats including Matroska.
yeah, you could try the MOBOplayer, works on many video formats well.
For playing videos onto Kindle fire, you should check the Kindle Fire support formats first:
Audio: AAC, MP3, MIDI, OGG, WAV,
Video: MP4, VP8
Best Kindle Fire video formats for playback:
Video Encoder: H.264, Audio Encoder: AAC
Resolution: 800*480 , Video Bitrate: 2500 kbps
If you can't get any apps to play the videos on Kindle fire correctly, maybe you could try converting with tools like this:

How did you get it to show up in your "Videos" listing? I copied a couple MP4 files to my "Videos" folder after downloading them into the "download" folder but it's not showing up when I hit the devices tab of the videos library. It still shows empty movies and TV tabs.
MoboPlayer!
Have Moboplayer installed but it's very laggy when playing 720p video clip, any idea ?

Love Mobo on my Nexus S. I can't get videos to go fullscreen when I sideload it onto the KF. Anyone else have this problem?
mx player is good for playing mkv/mp4 files you copy to the fire, but you have to get the apk from the android market. bsplayer is awesome on my phone but I tried it on the fire and it won't stream across smb

The videos in that folder are recognized a little differently; mostly that they won't be polled as library videos in the way you (and I) have tried. If you're using the native KindleFire launcher, you'll have to put them in a different folder and use a file browser app to locate/launch them. I've gotten them to show up on the shelf in the 'Photos' folder, coincidentally.
Bummer that BSplayer doesn't work on the Kindle -- it's the only app that can play all my high res videos on my phone, without trouble -- wmv, mts, avi, mp4, mpg, chews through any of them...of course 1080 doesn't count for much on a 3.5" screen, which is why I want so badly for bsplayer to be updated to work on Kindle Fire.
Maybe if more people emailed the developers asking for Kindle Fire support...
I think rock player is one of your best player...

BsPlayer does work on the Kindle, i use it, had played through 720p .mp4 , 720p.mkv and .avi
all of them worked fine..
I tried Moboplayer and MX player and both lagged as heck playing a 720p on KF.
I personally like Mobo player, i used it earlier for lower quality movies but for 720p its unusable...
Any other app that runs 720p without laggs?

Someone already did it:

While Kindle Fire not brought to Europe BSPlaer will not work. Or we can wait for the developers added the support for the OMAP 4430 ... Probably will work on our devices ..
Have any of you guys tried Diceplayer?
Dice Player don't support Kindle Fire yet. And if you load some video this crash system and reboot device. Oh and thumbnail must to be off.
Hello,
Did you guys manage to find any player that works good with 720p mkv? (interested in HW decoding)
I am on CM7 and struggling to make mxvideo work in HW decoding mode but it works only for some files, for the majority it still uses SW decoding and that is heating up the fire and eating up battery faster.
Movie playback is one of the main reasons I got the fire so if you guys have any suggestions I would appreciate them.
Also, BSplayer lite seems to fail completely on CM7, it crashes after opening. The same with dice player, which runs great on my HTC Sensation, using HW playback on almost all the formats.
Any feedback from those of you who still got stock rom or CM9 and tested video playback with mkv 720p? I didn't have a chance to test on stock as I installed CM7 almost right away.
Thanks
Thank god I am not the only one still looking for this..
I really need some App that runs smoothly in a rush, so if anyone have any app in mind to try out, don't be afraid to suggest!
On CM9 its pretty hopeless for now, as hardware accelerated graphics still doesn't work... ( i think )
I just switched back from CM9 hoping that I will be able to load some movies for trip...

[Q] Medium bit-rate HD h264 playback

Hey folks, I was trying to watch a video on my TF101 that I made with my Galaxy S II today, it's a 1920x1080 17Mbit/sec h264 video file. MX player won't play it in hardware. Any way to fix that?
Try Dice Player with the tegra plugin.
Freemake Video Convertor
Easiest converter I've used....take your 1080p file select 720p mkv or what ever other extension and press convert. Might look into the audio settings a bit more tho. (I haven't yet) but the audio comes out not as loud...
Then use MX video...with HW video and SW audio.
Also this might save you time if you try the converter...don't use the Android setting...didn't work for me...wasted 4 hours (slow laptop).
Swyped using my Pinky
I really didn't want to have to transcode the video.
Diceplayer didn't work, even with the plugin. It was a stuttery, frame dropping mess. At least in MX, it plays in super slow motion.
For me, BS Player seems to be the best for playing HD mkv files.
It's not an MKV file. It's h264 in an MP4 container recorded by my Galaxy S II phone.
Did you try playing it in S/W mode? I've had to use it for 1280x720 videos on my TF101 and Captivate with MX.

Argh, sorry. I really suck at multitasking.
I was just transfering a mkv file over to my Transformer when I wrote that comment. lol
What I meant to say was that BS Player seems best for me to play HD movies (with big file size).

[Q] Video Convert configurations

Guys I have HTC sensation,
Can any one tell me the configurations to convert the video to play on my phone..
like wise,
video size
bitrate
frame rate
aspect ratio
etc
video codec
I use imToo video converter..
I need HD video..
everytime i convert I see quality is gone worse..
Help././
Just use some more advanced media player, like MX Video Player. Streams mkv, mp4 and avi seamlessly over upnp - So ill guess it plays most others as well.
I'm using DicePlayer. It plays everything so far.
Either use MoboPlayer

Or convert your videos to be 960x540

[Q] Whats the best video format for a Flyer?

Hi all, I've got a Flyer 10.1 which has been upgraded to 3.2 Honeycomb. What is the best format to convert a movie to, is it MPEG or MP4? any help would be much appreciated!
Basically you are referring to the same format since .mpeg is MPEG-1 and .mp4 is MPEG-4. These are just different versions.
I think there isn't much of difference in which one you use.
Put any format, like mikpel said over me
But for watching the movies try to use the MX player... for the PRO version, just google it
If you get some lags on the video, switch to S/W and its gonna work better but just if the video gets lagy
There is a difference as an mp4 can be in various codecs such as h264 or xvid whereas a standard mpeg video cannot.
Most common mp4 formats use xvid or h264 video codec with mp3 or aac audio.
Flyer supports mp4 in h263, h264, divx and xvid codecs with mp3 aac or wma audio.
Best for quality yet smaller filesize is h264 video with aac audio but an xvid avi mp4 with mp3 audio can be played on pretty much any thing and is similar in quality though produces slightly larger filesizes.

mkv playing with no sound :S Player Suggestions that don't lag ?

So playing mkv files with original videoplayer and mx player streams the video really well but with no sound :/ Do you guys know any good video player that doesn't lag, run smooth and support sound. ? btw Vplayer is lagging but sound works.
in this section, look for the thread regarding blu ray ripping. the answer is in there.

There are some posts already about this. I use BSPlayer.
bsplayer ftw
ffmpeg is the key
With BS Player or Dice Player, you need to use ffmpeg library. You need to copy a file named libffmpeg.so to /mnt/sdcard/. Sorry, but XDA rules forbid me to post URLs (not 10 posts yet). If you need the file, i can send you a dropbox link by MP.

MKV is a container format, meaning it can contain multiple tracks for video and audio in different formats (even subtitles and chapters are supported). The sound track probably is in DTS format. There are only a few players around for android that can play DTS encoded audio. BSplayer and VPlayer.
Depending on the bitrate of the video, VPlayer does "lag" on some movies for me, BSplayer hasn't done that yet.
edit:
If you can to know what tracks and file encodings are in the mkv check out MediaInfo (windows) or mkvmerge GUI from MKVToolNix (cross platform).
BSplayer streams all my 1080p from my server flawless. The fact that it gets subs auto is amazing. Best player i tried so far tbh
