i downloaded 2 digital copies to movies i bought recently and of course their in .wmv format. god forbid android will play them. i have tried every video player i can find and tried 3 different converting software apps including handbreak with no luck. is there any way to watch .wmv files on the droid charge?
Try Act1, I'm pretty sure that works.

If that doesn't work, just convert it to mp4
~John
google format factory (a free and very handy program that'll convert pictures, videos, sounds to whatever you want), download and install it, convert the movie (preferably to mp4) and put on your phone then it'll play fine

Did you try MX Video Player?
I tried a bunch of different players for my collection of various formats/codecs and it plays the highest percentage of my videos.

can you attach the screenshot?
If you are not getting audio & video is playing, then it might have dts audio track.
If it's so kindly read http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254

It's a kind of scam. The message shown in screenshot is not from mx player. A video can't raise any message, warnings & popups. It's not the warning/information & it's the actual content of the video. Even you can check it with PC. It will show the same.
One more important thing is that the website mentioned in the video is not the official Yify's one. So, It's completely a spam. Don't download any codec or player from the website mentioned in the video. It may contain malicious spyware programs.

That's a scam YIFY site. I would consider uninstalling whatever you may have installed, and/or wiping the device if possible.

Even i downloaded from that site ...
Had exact same problem
I had exactly the same issue with two movies i recently downloaded from the so called official yify website. And after struggling a lot for 'missing codecs', i l realized i wasted 1.5 GB of data usage
Definitely a scam.. The file compresses with a ~50% ratio (800MB -> 400MB), which clearly shows the file was artificially inflated (using some unusual compression flags on the video I'd guess)... So the info is simply not there..
Definitely it´s fake!! I downloaded 2 movies from the site, both with same message when playing it.
IF you listen 1 or 2 minutes on each movie you can hear the same audio, so it´s purely fake and they maybe are getting money from those websites advertising the site.
I would unnistall the "codecs" they offer inmediately and scan with an updated antivirus the whole machine.
I hope this helps.
I did it too... damn... I feel like a moron now :crying:
Thanks

Just got a Nexus 5x and when I select a video file (total commander + samba) I don't see MX player in the list of applications. Not sure if this is MX player's fault or if it's something else.

... just to be clear with what you are saying, you are using a file browser app on Android, navigating to an SMB share, and when selecting a video on the SMB then MX is not offered as a playback option?
May want to first check your device app defaults then.
I'm having either the same issue or a similar one. Everything works fine on my Nexus 7, but this is a problem on my Nexus 5X. If I select files with certain extensions from network locations, MX Player is not listed in the "Open with" popup where you select the app you want to open the file with. Only Media Viewer and Podcast Addict are listed in this pop-up. Trying different file types out, MX Player is listed if I select an mpg or wmv file, but not avi and mp4. I'm selecting the file in an app that let's me browse files on my NAS. If I save the video locally on my phone, there is no problem when I select the local copy, MX Player is listed in the "Open with" pop-up. When the file is still on the NAS, I think the format of the link it's trying to open is hxxp://192.168.X.X:XXXX/Folder/filename.mp4 where hxxp is replaced with http (forum rules don't allow new accounts to post links).
It's weird that I have the exact same setup, apps, OS version, files, network, etc. on my Nexus 7 and everything works fine. The same setup also worked previously on my Nexus 5. I've had this problem since I got my 5X, which was shortly after the phone was released.

The issue might be only on marshmallow.
Can you check the actual url forwarded through any other app available in openwith list?

I'm not sure it has anything to do with it being Marshmallow, because I have Marshmallow on my Nexus 7 where everything seems to work OK. I'm not sure how to check to see what the URL is with the other apps. I was only guessing the URL with the NAS app because there's a "share" feature in that app where it lets me share the file with a friend and it displays the http URL I posted when I do that.

That's strange.
Just open mpg or mkv which can be opened in MX Player. Then check the properties in mxplayer. The URL pattern will be similar to that only except change in file/directory name.

I opened a MKV file and the path is pretty much the same as I said previously, but ends with "...mvk?_basic=lotsofletters=".
Playing around with it now again, I notice that even though I have VLC installed on my phone, it also does not show up in the "Open with" pop-up for the same file extensions that MX Player is missing for. It seems like my phone is just handling files with those extensions strangely. I think the apps that are listed in this pop-up are determined by the "App links" assigned by each app. In the list of apps' "App links" in my phone settings, MX Player and VLC both only list "*". I looked up Podcast Addict since that app is listed in the "Open with" screen for AVI files, and that has about 10 or so youtube and soundcloud URLs, but also "*". It never single-outs AVI files specifically. This whole thing just confuses me. I think it's just a bizarre bug with the Nexus 5X.

But, still wonder how it was working in Nexus 7 with marshmallow. Probably you might have changed anything in app link settings
I don't have a device with marshmallow. I will forward the issue to the developer. He may find some workarounds.

Hahah, well, things just got weirder. I was about to reply to your post and went to double check that only "Media Viewer" and "Podcast Addict" were showing in the "Open with" pop-up, but now... everything works fine. MX Player and VLC both show up when I select AVIs and MP4s. Maybe when I was tinkering around in the App Links section I changed some setting? Or maybe just looking at them "woke" the phone up somehow? I have no idea. I don't recall ever doing anything with the settings on the Nexus 7, either, but who knows. I think everything is fine now.
I had to get my phone repaired and got it back today. Surprisingly it works now. I can select MX player from Total Commander when I click a video file. Only problem now is that MX player doesn't see any subtitles. It works from ES file explorer, but not from Total Commander. It's over samba btw

When MX Player gets a remote URL it will try to find the subtitle with the same name in assumption. When the local host denies or returrns with 404, it may not show the subtitles. Either Total commander has to fix the issue or you have to wait till mx player gets native SMB support.
Yes it does indeed seem to do that. I just tested a video that had a subtitle with the same filename and it works. It doesn't work however with subtitles that have language codes in them like video.en.srt. This did work with ES file explorer.
I seem to have the same issue as the OP: playing a video file from samba or FTP (tested with Solid Explorer and ES File Explorer) only returns the default Video Player app and nothing else.
This is true at least for files having wmv or mp4 file extensions. Avi or mkv files can be opened by MX Player, VLC player and Yatse, which should actually work with all kind of video files.
I checked the "App links" section in the settings, and MX Player and VLC are defined as being able to open * links and have all permissions set.
This is on my Moto X 2014, which worked as expected in Lollipop.
Any idea what I could check to fix the issue?
Thanks

Bah, I installed "Intent Intercept" app from Google Play to try and provide some additional information to help resolve this issue... and lo and behold MX Player now appears as a valid target for playing remote WMVs and MP4s...
Have no clue about what happened, but the issue seem to be Android-related, and has nothing to do with MX.
Thanks anyway!
I've this exact problem on my moto x force. Both MX player and loader droid don't show up on the apps pop up. Was fine on 5.1.1 but since update nothing

Devices: Samsung Galaxy S4, Google Nexus 7
Filetype: mkv (Yibis fansubs)
I am encountering a strange syncing issue with subtitles after updating to 1.8.3 (w/ arm v7 codec, I believe the issue began at 1.8.0, though). The subtitles are displaying a few seconds after the audio, but it is not a consistent delay so I can't just offset it. It appears to be displaying the subtitles after the 'current' audio finishes, so for example if someone says "Hey!", one second later it will display the subtitle. But if someone says a long 5-10 second speech, it will only display the subtitle after they are done speaking.
The previous version (1.7.32) did not have this issue. I've gone back and checked previous video files and they have the same subtitle issue now when played on v1.8.3.
I have not seen this issue posted anywhere else, and it appears to only affect mkv's from "Yibis fansubs". I have asked on their forums and have confirmed nothing about their encoding process has changed recently.
I would greatly appreciate any help resolving this .

I don't think I can post urls, but if you type 'yibis fansubs' into google, it should be the first result.
I posted the issue to their forum as well and one user has reported that they don't encounter any problems on their Nexus 5. As mentioned, I am currently using a Galaxy S4 and a Nexus 7. I have done clean installs on both systems with the same result.
edit// the above user has checked and he is currently running 1.7.32.
So i recently signed up for amazon music hd, and tried it out on my pc first.
You can click on the 'hd' button while a track is playing and it'll give you info on that track, shown in the attached picture, it shows device capability of 24bit/96KHz, which is correct for my pc.
But when i tried on my Xperia it shows device capability only 24bit/48KHz
Why isn't it full 96KHz? i thought the XZ Premium can do up to 192KHz?
Thanks for any info anyone can give me.

If i use Poweramp, i am able to pick HD playback, and it reports, from the device, it's playing back at 24bit 192KHz..but the Amazon music app still says the phone is only capable of up to 48KHz?! strange.
