Hey guys
I want to use the whole screen when I watch video on my xoom. Is anyone aware of a player that hides and expands video to the WHOLE screen while watching?
thanks
I usually use mx player.

Vlc for android is available in beta. Works perfectly on the xoom, make sure you download the tegra version...

I just tried mxplayer and it doesn't go full full screen. (ie: the bar is still at the bottom even though its reduced to the 3 dots)

The bottom bar is going to be there forever no matter what app you are in, especially if your xoom hasn't been rooted yet. If you have root, there are a few apps that let you toggle the bottom bar manually. And if you are running a custom rom, there are options too. In the EOS and AOKP roms, you can toggle the bottom bar through the power menu and in Cyanogenmod9, you can have the bottom bar auto-hide every time an app goes full screen.
I downloaded a few SBS videos, but the video player doesn't recognize them as 3D...
Anyone have hints or is there a setting to forve 3D mode?

Found this a few weeks ago;
play the movie using the Gallery app. Click on the little 3D icon at the bottom right of the screen. The movie will still show side by side, but will enter 3D mode.
Click the Android options button (the icon looks like a solid box inside a clear box at the bottom left of your phone) and you will get the following options:
Click on the 3D Formatter option. It will provide you with a number of 3D options including Left/Right, Right/Left, Top/Bottom and Fullscreen 3D. Select Left/Right (first option on the left,A message will appear that says: “This 3D data is saved as valid 3D contents with the formatter which you’ve chosen“. From that point on, the phone will recognize this movie as 3D and the little 3D icon will appear at the bottom of the movie. The good news is, as soon as you launch it, the movie will run in 3D.
Enjoy your movie!

If you remove your battery or hard reboot, you have to repeat this procedure as the phone "forgets" this setting.
Good luck, keith
This doesn't seem to work for me. Neither Gallery nor 3D Gallery has the option to go 3D for the movies, except movies I have shot with camera itself.
This is frustrating

If the sbs videos are compatible they will display as side by side videos i.e two identiical frames. While the video is playing touch the screen press pause and press the 2D/3D on screen icon, press the menu button on the bootom of the phone and from the pop up select 3D formatter. touch the sbs icon on the bottom of the selector and all should then be O.K
Yep, this is definitely what I've been attempting to do.
The video appears side by side (for reference it is a LG Demo video) but alas, no 3D button...
Like none. No button.
Would this be a resolution thing?

So I finally got some time to screw around with this and nothing works.
I mean literally nothing. I'm starting to think I have to upload the Video to Youtube, then re-download it to get it to work on this phone, and that's a far stretch.
Can someone actually post screens on how this is done? I am starting to think that the 3D capability of this phone is just B.S. if you can't import files to it.
One other thing I'd like to mention, the programs to which the tutorials suggest aren't the same version or appear to have a different UI and/or presets missing from them.

Are you running FROYO? Stock ROM?
I am running this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963847
Maybe it is a different Gallery/Video Player?
The ICS video player seems to be unchanged from the gingerbread version. I have Used the method I described in earlier post to get sbs video to work correctly on stock rom . The ROM you are on may be different, maybe if you post a thread in the rom's own thread some help may be found there. You could ask for a download for the video player from there or a link to a compatible player. Sorry I can't be more help.
Good luck.
3d vids
I use 3dvplayer to play all of my 3d content. It's superb. Even plays top/bottom 3d vids. It may solve your problem.

Thanks for the replies, I haven't given up quite yet. I'll try this otherwise I'll revert back to stock.

This App works well. Way better than trying to mess around with trying to make the stock junk work.

Happy to be of service. Have you checked out the video section on the app ? Lots of vids to watch and download. :good:
I did. Interesting. Lots of them are in Chinese (obviously).
They need a good crowd sourced translation team to get their program up to snuff.

When I watch a video through YouTube or chrome/Facebook it distorts with white and color lines. If I watch a video through the play app or watch a video already on my phone it's fine. Has anyone had this issue it kind of sucks trying to show off your new phone and you can't even play a YouTube video clearly
Also b4 anyone suggests it I unchecked the nuplayer option in developer settings and it still does the same thing
I guess no one else has had this issue?
