[Q] Media player recommendations for HC that can play mkv's

Hello all,
I have finally made the jump into the honeycomb hideout from my rather comfortable gingerbread house (deck's stable evo build). On GB, the qqplayer was/is the perfect media player for most of my needs, plays mkvs,ogm,subtitles. On the newest update on our 7.0+'s, the player installs fine and can play videos that are placed on the internal storage (the program doesn't see the microsd for whatever reason), but the settings cannot not be accessed to change anything. I thought that the bottom status bar was hiding the options, but even with the bottom bar hidden with Honeybar, no options appear. I installed Rockplayer too, but had the same issue on not being able to access any options. At least Rockplayer sees the microsd and can play from it, although it won't find/play the embedded softsubs, like the qqplayer.
So, what media players are people using that work? Or can anyone think of a workaround?

I've been using MX Player, though I just picked one and it worked for 1080p mkv so I didnt bother looking further

found one!!!
I tried MX, it plays files, but didn't support internal subs. I have found a damn near perfect player, "mvideoplayer" version 2.91. Plays 720p mkv's with internal subs no problem.

Also there is Dice Play which let you play additional format regardless of system codecs

Have you tried Mobo?

[Q] Video player with variable audio delay?

I'm having problems with audio being behind video while using bluetooth.
I can't find any video players on the market (play store now) that enable a programmable delay - wondering if anyone knows a player that can do it?
I'm having problems with avi's, specifically XviD video, mp3 audio, written with Nandub v1.0rc2. A few years old. Although pretty much every video I have gives delay problems.
I'm running a TF101, Android Vers 3.2.1, bluetooth vers 6.24, kernel vers 2.6.36.4+ (1.2GHZ accelerated), build HTK75.revolver-3.11.1_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216.
And using MX Player Pro 1.6B. Tried a few other players, tried via Skifta, tried off the micro SD card, and confirmed no audio delay via Windows Media Player on my Win7-64 box.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dice player has it, but it´s limited to +1 sec or -1 sec. I´m searching for a player with at least +5 sec or -5 sec... Did you already find it at this time?

I know this is an old thread... but I finally sorted it out. I reset my tf101 to stock HC, then let Asus update it by FOTA to ICS, v4.0.3, and build number IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615. Which looks to be 6 months old... maybe it's Asus' last update for the TF101.
Anyways, I still got the bluetooth audio delay. About half a second. Making movies unwatchable. After a bit of trolling the net I found out BSplayer has a variable audio delay in a recent update. Tried it, and it WORKED, after setting delay to 550ms. So I've dumped MX player that I've used since the start, and as soon as my credit card gets replaced I'm paying for the full version of BS player. I found MX player to be great, over the 12 months I've used it, but it hasn't fixed the delay issue, so it's gone.
Now it's time to try a Revolver ICS ROM... I miss being able to close background apps, and I miss having a charge indicator for the dock battery.
And I still can't play 720p .mkv video without converting it to baseline profile .mp4. - maybe I'll upgrade to a nexus 10 one day.

What to do with my music library

I recently bought a tf700 32gb. I have a roughly 25 gb music collection and a couple movies I want to put on my infinity from my old laptop. I have all of the media saved on a 32gb sd card, the problem is that the stock music and video players don't like some of the file types ( it won't play. WMA music or .mkv or .mp4 movies). What would all of you recommend as far as players that handle more file types or ways to convert the files?

I can recommend BSPlayer.

BSPlayer is what I use too, seems to play everything under the sun...

BS player won't do it. Sometimes it'll play about a second of the movies before crashing, mostly it just t fails to open the files. Could it be that the files are too large? All of them are larger than two and a half gb's. I'm pretty sure my card is formatted correctly because i can play a 700 mb .avi video from it.

I have not had any issues in playing movies in excess of 4 GB with BSPlayer

PowerAmp for audio. DICE player for video.

I have the free version of the app, could that cause the problem?

BS player has played everything i threw at it. Im watching n 11gb 1080p blu ray mkv of Avengers right now, with no issues.

I would copy some media files to the internal storage and try it again, this would rule out sd card issues...

While I'm at it, can I ask how your sdcards are formatted, or where the media your playing is saved?

I haven't had any issues with it. Granted I have only played mkv (with DTS audio) on it, either from local storage or streaming from a Twonky server. It can't be the file size, the movies I played were 10+ GB.

Ok, so i wasn't specific enough before, I had my music and movies on a 32 microSD drive, mounted to the tablet. I tried putting it into an adapter and using it with the keyboard dock. Now everything is working exactly like i should be. I took the files from my laptop with the card and adapter combo too, but i dont know if that has anything to do with this solution working. This is different from the original subject, but does anyone know why this might be, or how I could get it to work with just the microSD?
And for the record, Im liking BSPlayer for movies, and Player Pro for music.

[Q] how to get write-protected WMV on TF700?

So I got digital download from Paramount and Universal a while ago. I was force to use this Digital Download manager http://www.digitalcopydownload.com worst call ever!!!
So the movie plays just fine on window media player, but now that I was able to buy a TF700. I try transferring the movie to the table, but it wont even transfer. So I though I could transfer to a micro sd card, but now it tells me its write-protected.......
I got on the web page for help and this is what it gives me......
"Portable Device Requirements:
PlaysForSure compatible portable media player with video playback support of at least 796 Kbps and video playback support of protected WMV files
Enough free storage space for the video"
Anybody got a solution to remove the write-protection so that I can get it playing on the tablet???
UPDATE: I guess its call DRM......freaking cant find a decent software to take it off......

Check out Audials Tunebite. I use it for my audio files but they make a video and pro version that does both. I have used it for years. Works on the same principle as the DVD backup software out there. It plays the file and records it in another format of your choice. I turned all my music into standard MP3 format. Can do the same with the video version, make all videos MP4, which is a format that works with pretty much every device known and works with HD as well.

problem viewing avi via microSD?

Hello all,
I'm very new to Asus and Google OS but not new to the tech scene. I wanted to watch avi movies on my transformer so I loaded a few tv episodes onto a microSD (generic, 32gb class 4) but not all the files will play. I'm using MxPlayer and DicePlayer and neither are doing the trick. I've also tried MoboPlayer, BSPlayer and Rockplayer. None of these will handle all the avi files. Only selective files will play.
The plot thickens. I understand avi's can have a wide assortment of codecs but for one tv show (Friends) I personally ripped all the episodes myself from a DVD collection using Handbrake, with the same settings for all episodes (which now I forget because it's been so long). SOME of these episodes play perfectly without a hitch while others won't load at all.
Can anyone advise on troubleshooting? Could it be there generic microSD card? Do I need to download additional codecs from the internet or search other media players?
Thanks in advance!!

It could be that some of them didn't copy over correctly. Check the file size of each episode to see if it matches on your computer ad the SD card. If it doesn't, that's your problem. If they do match, try playing them from the SD on your computer. If they don't play right, delete and copy them back over (or re-rip). If they all play fine, find someone who knows this better than I do. Oh, and MX will tell you the codec under Tools->Properties->More when you're watching them.
