For AVIs and MKVs, I've always used BSplayer without problems. I've put my first videos on the Nexus 5 today, and AVI and an MKV, and they play perfectly fine, except without video.
I got the impression this is a problem with my Nexus 5, but so I naturally cleared the BSplayer's app data and cache and uninstalled, rebooted the device, and reinstalled just to rule out a bad install as the problem. Sure enough, no video again.
So I go through the ritual of clearing, uninstalling, and rebooting, and tried to grab a different media player from the store to rule out media players as the problem, but this time I don't have the Play Store! WTF? I just reset my device and I'll keep you guys posted, but is anyone else having or hearing about these problems? Particularly the lack of video playback, because I can just side load the Play Store if I don't feel like resetting the device.
After resetting device, still no video playback in BSplayer, even after switching decoding modes. MXplayer is able to play the MKV file perfectly, but crashes with the AVI...
I am having same issue. BS Player is my go to. I don't have video when streaming along w local files.

Is anyone's VPlayer FCing on them? I was using it yesterday morning and afternoon and all was fine. Transferred some files over to the phone just now and now I can't use the app anymore as it keeps on FCing on me. The app is removed from the Market as well so I'm not sure if the two are related.
Also, does anyone have a video player app that they recommend? It has to be able to play RMVB files smoothly.
Gave ArcMedia another try after speeding up my SD card and it doesn't lag anymore, but the audio and video slowly gets out of sync.
As for VPlayer, it continues to FC. Looks like we got shafted again.
I transfered some 720p .mkv files to my tablet (external sd) and the video plays fine in both the built in player and in mx player but I don't get any sound. If I play a smaller .avi file it plays fine with sound in both players. Any ideas?
Sorry if it has been posted before.
try using another player like diceplayer. I used to have this problem when playing mini 720p with the stock player, but not with the diceplayer
I'll just leave this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686675
Long story short: use software decoding for the audio.
Dice player works fine. Can I somehow watch full screen with out the black row with the three dots in de bottom?
Starting to hate this tablet more and more every day..
If you're rooted, get GMD GestureControl from the Play Store, and install Busybox.
Im noot rooted. Will probably root when a good port of AOKP is out

Why hate this tablet? it's the 3rd best atm!
And it's not the tablet's fault! Your video might have an unsupported audio format, or it may be corrupted.. Try playing the video from your tab on the pc. And can you precise what format is the audio?

I hate the lag when i browse the internet, my SGS is faster when scrolling around on internet pages. The internet apps I have tried freezes up ang gives FC at least 5 times every time i on the internet.
And many other things.
The videos works fine on my PC. It worked once with dice player but now I don't get any sound with dice player =/

New device, new fw, new problems. Most will be fixed by updates. The build.prop tweaks, for instance, made my .17 DE internet browsing _in powersave mode_ totally lag free (!).
You should wait for firmware updates, though. I'm afraid of what will happen if you accidentally brick your device.
Sound in players is accomplished by choosing software decoding of the audio.
Picked up the N5 yesterday. Installed Mx Video thinking that everything would work as it did with my two previous EVOs and s3. I would choose MX as the default for video streaming and it would work throughout every website, all local media, etc. Now when I stream through various sites, the default video player or chrome wants to play video. Cleared defaults, cleared data and cache for MX, uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache/dalvik, fixed permissions. Chrome or the default video still wants to take over.
Any ideas?
I think there's a setting buried deep in MX Player's settings area that pertains to default apps for local and network streaming. Check those out.
Went through every option. Couldn't find said option :\
Just set it as the default when you open up a file. It can't be that hard... there are what, like 3 or 4 common video file extensions?
This is what I thought too. Not all apps(chrome) make you pick default. Sometimes they automatically just play in chrome
Hi,
I've got Nexus 5 with stock ROM. I can't stream from Google Play Music to Chromecast. I immediately get 'Could not play' message once I switch output to Chromecast. Plays fine on the phone itself. I also can stream to Chromecast just fine from computers at home/Chrome browser and I can also stream from my HTC Desire HD using that very Google Play Music. Something's wrong with Nexus 5 setup or Google Play Music itself. Any clues? Thanks!

Not sure....works just fine on my N5 to Chromecast.
Hmm... What's strange is that I can stream YouTube from my N5 to Chromecast fine as well, it's just GPM. The only thing that I did to the phone is rooted and flashed Dalvik and Bionic patches. Trying to troubleshoot, I flashed stock Dalvik back, but it did not help. OK, perhaps the next step would be to go clean and flash the whole stock ROM and wipe everything.
brianfields33, are you on stock ROM? Thanks.
This may seem obvious but have you updated everything on Google Play? The Play Services (I think that's it) needs to be latest version. Probably Google Music, too.
I have an LG G2 and have no issue casting GM.
Also, are these local files you are trying to stream? You cannot stream local files from GPM, only ones you actually have in your GPM library. You'll have to use other apps if you want to play local music files.
kimtyson - yes, everything was updated to the latest versions.
korockinout13 - I mentioned that I can play music without streaming. So, this is not type of a file issue. And I actually was streaming from the GPM library.
I figured the issue. I did a factory reset and got GPM streaming working. Then I started adding my apps. It appeared that Kaspersky Antivirus blocks streaming from GPM. That's strange since the same config works fine from HTC Desire HD. Anyway, it works now and I know where to dig further. Thanks all for replies!
Installed W10M on my Mi4 and it's very nice. It actually runs better than my 1520. For some reason I can't play videos with DRM using apps such as Flixster or Netflix. Netflix gives me an error code stating I am using the wrong audio/video drivers. When I use the Movies & TV app, I can hear audio, but get no video. I've tried rebooting the phone and even did a hard reset. I'm running build 10586.36
