Try DoubleTwist for Audio and mVideoPlayer for Video
Rockplayer wotks with most codecs, but is still in beta.

What about the video player? I can't get some of my mp4 videos to play on my EVO. I will get sound but no picture.
Hello all. I see that the pre-install music player does not play WMA files. Does anyone know if it's possible to make the default music player work with WMA, maybe by installing a codec or somesuch? Alternatively, can anyone recommend a tablet-friendly media player app to replace the default?
Nope, no such thing as installing "codecs" under Android.
Quick search on the market for "wma" shows that poweramp can play wma. Software decode for audio should be pretty easy so there are likely to be a number of 3rd party audio players that can play other formats.

I reccomend XBMC media player. Beta 2 is out and is reasonably stable, and it is easy to install a touch friendly skin. Go to xbmc.org to download.
Ok, I've been struggling with this and doing all sorts of research, but I can't seem to piece together a definitive answer. This is what I know (or think I know anyhow)
1) H264 will play just fine from more or less any video player as long as you have the decode mode set right. this seems to be why so many people swear to their particular player (and I've tried so many, moboplayer, dice, etc etc.)
2) H364 is just pure crap because Tegra2 just can't handle it. Something with proprietary codecs or some such.
Now, experimenting with different HD files over the time I've owned my TF, some play and some don't. I've heard others claim otherwise. If anybody can guarantee they can play ANY , really ANY HD mkv file (H364 without re-encoding included) I'd like to know what ROM/app you're using (and I'm sure a lot of others would too). I'm sick of having to pick out/convert my movies all the time.
I'd really like to put this thing to rest.
I hear ya I dont want to re-encode my library either but becuase I cant stand not knowing I have been doing some testing to see what the problem is with not being able to play all files. I have discovered that that the Transformer does not like 5.1 channel AAC audio. I can encode any video to MP4 and it plays great when I set the audio to stereo but when I try with 5.1 AAC MP4 files it no worky. 5.1 AC3 seems to be ok. I too have tried many players from the market and get different results with each one using the 5.1 setting (such as stuttering or lagging or I think it was BS player would only play the rear channel audio) but setting my encoding output to stereo they all play fine. I was on the Google Android Developers site and it stated stereo only was supported for honeycomb so maybe the ICS upgrade will fix this issue? In the meantime I plan on continuing testing different bit rates and audio settings to try and get to the bottom of this. Sorry in advance if this did not help you.

I like very much the MX player and it is true it plays mkr videos fine but I do not have sound... I have the ARMv7 codec pack (only this one) do you get sound?
Instead, to play and hear mkv I use DicePlayer Ad. with Dice player plugin for tegra2.
(I am unrooted)
Use software for audio (but hw for video)

The problem with this is that most players out there only let you use one decoding mode for both video AND audio. what player lets you do what you're saying?

Mx video with the codec pack as said previously.
I'll be sure to try it once I get home.
MX player will play the movies just fine but the issue is with the audio. The Transformer has a problem playing audio encoded with 5.1 & 6.1.

It worked great! thanks a lot!!
I can't figure out how to play a video file with alternate audio, such as DVD commentary, on the xoom. I'm sure the mp4 file has the alternate audio tracks embedded because my brother can play it on his ipad
I have the stock player, moboplayer & rockplayer lite... is there any way to do this?
thanks!
Seriously is there no way to do this? I hate to concede to my brother that the iPad is better in some way.

Hi, I made a feature request on January but got ignored (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!s...avrcp/mx-videoplayer/6DZi_O3O9Vw/G-SX_Luc0uwJ). And seems like there is another user requesting the same thing (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/3JVFC214-Ds).
Basically, there are song titles, artist, and album info inside the mp3/mp4 files and those info can be display on AVRCP devices like many car audio systems, and bluetooth headset like Sony MW-600. I have no problem in getting those infos displayed on my AVRCP devices by Poweramp (even mp4 video file). But this feature is missing for MX Player, I wonder if this could be added to the future feature list. Thanks.

Since Poweramp can already do this for mp3 files, I assume you want this for mp4 music videos?

Both mp3 audio and mp4 video files. Poweramp can handle both, but I prefer MX Player since poweramp is just an audio player after all. Thanks.
AVRCP bluetooth metadata
I've got "smart" bluetooth speakers. They are so smart that if the AVRCP status says that the playback is paused, that means that no sound is getting through. So it would help if MX player would at least set the status to "playing" so that the speakers would allow for sound to come through. For now if I want to use MX player, I'm forced to connect the audio cable and loose the media control functionality (play/pause, next/previous).
P.S.: I'm using MX Player Pro from play store
