Media player doesn't seem to read wmv files (at least the video part of the file). Any suggestion for a good replacement software?
try beta player
Media Player definitely plays wmv files, are you sure your wmv isn't corrupt?
I've noticed that Windows Media Player 9 on the Pocket PC is not capable of playing .WMA and .WMV of all bitrates, I'm not exactly sure which bitrates its not capable of, but try re-encoding your file to a different bitrate and try it again n the device.
To no1: the file is not corrupt, media player on XP reads it without problem.
To ZeroXtreme I'll try it. Thanks everyone
What possible solutions are there for streaming content whether it music or video from a PC to the htc Sensation, i have a lot of movie content and would like it if i could choose video files and play them (stream) so i dont have to download it to the sd card via USB.
Thanks.
I use VLC Stream & Convert, VLC Direct seemed to be very choppy when I played avi's from my PC.
You open VLC on your computer and add a Web Interface for it to work.
The buildin video stream player worked out of the box with my home NAS. I can stream 720p avi's over wifi. All I needed was ES File Explorer for access to NAS.
That is using standard UPnP protocols I think, so it should work with your windows media centre. You will have to enable sharing of your files and actually point the WMC to the folders that you want to share.
Try it and report back,

PS: if you have lots of MKV files, I'm still looking for streaming options...
Thanks for the info, using es explorer did just what i needed, it does play choppy like you said but i think its to do with the player and not with the connection. I am able to play high quality blu ray files 10-20gb but its even more slower so will need to find a better video player i would say...
Whats the best video player out there ??
we need vlc for android
How does on download digital copies of movies to the TF or dvd versions? I downloaded a digital copy and moved it to the TF and not able to watch. Is there a format that is needed or a viewer? Or a website I can download?
Step by step instructions would help. Thanks in advance.
Do you tried MX Video Player? It plays all sort of files. You have to download the Codec for ARMv7 as well.
MX Player
MX Player Codec for ARMv7
Other than that I would've to know the file type and probably the source as well to give a better answer.
That's..will give that a try. I've downloaded a digital copy of a .wva file (windows media?) And wouldn't play.
Is there an app that can play windows media file?
Try with MX Player. It's from what I know your best option at the moment until VLC Media Player will be released for Android.
If it doesn't work you'll have to convert the file.
How to convert and to what format? Sorry newbie to this.
Do you already tried it with mx player?
If yes just google for something like
convert .wva to avi
I never used that file type myself so I don't know exactly what program you have to use.

Hi everyone. Recently I bought a new GT P5113. In all the tablet reviews they say that it can play easily almost all AVI, MKV, MP4 etc video files, but when I try to play them with the stock video player I get a message that video is not supported. I dont think that this is normal.
My tab is running the latest firmware update from Samsung ULGB2 4.0.4 or sth like that. Any ideas, except installing 3rd party players? Somebody else with the same problem?
Thanks!
what files exactly wont play and are they stored locally?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
try bsplayer, it should hardware playback files with a HW onscreen to let you know.
It plays all my upnp hosted video files just fine, i had some issues with streamed files with the stock player. assuming my p3110 uses the same decoding process.
Thanks for the info. It wont play divx and xvid avi files, also it doesnt want to play mkv and mp4, which is completely strange. The files are stored on the externsl microsd. I wonder if i need to make a hard reset...
Edit: BSplayer plays videos only in SW mode

Click to collapse
yeah something is not right mp4 should be the tester as they always play no matter what. try it and let us know
I fixed it with a simple restart. Firmware bug obviously Now we are OK
why not give Dice Player a try?
I used to have MX Player but switched to Dice Player.
The MX player app, doesn't recognize .vob files, as a video file. Where as, my UC web video player recognizes and plays all .vob files perfectly.
I am using the Pro version, and I think, it should be updated/built to play the .vob files.
