Hi everyone, i'm new at using a smartphone and am really glad i came across this resourceful forum!
I recently got a HTC HD and managed to figure out how to install coreplayer on the cell, but can't get the video to play at full screen (when the phone is sideway and horizontal, like the PSP)
could someone please help me figure this out? does it have this function? or do i need another player that has this function? i can't seem to find the answer anywhere....please help....
Personally I just tap the video on the screen twice and it goes fullscreen, other than that I think Menu > Options > Fullscreen will do it.
does the video have to be converted or encoded a special way? because i put a normal .avi file in the sd card and played that but it won't go full screen. when i double click or select full screen, the video stays the same. what should i do?

WM6 WMP11 Video Fullscreen Problem
Whenever I choose to go into fullscreen while watching a video on windows media player... it turns the video sideways... so it's the correct viewing if you turn the phone to the right if you're holding it in front of you. any fix? this wasn't happening in the beta... i remember there being a fix for the mda... but u could always change the orientation of the mda...
help? thanks!
i've had the same problem wondering if anyone knows the tips to fix it! appreciated!

I'll let you know if I find a solution for it.
yeah man, please let me know if you find a fix to this. no one else is having this problem? I'm using orb too btw... thanks!
I'm having the same issue. WM6 downloaded off T-Mobile's site for the Dash. Win Media player orients fullscreen video vertically.

It only happens with streaming video. If you play a local video (storage card) in full screen it works fine.
question about Video!!
is it possible to view videos on websites such as youtube on wm6? I don't see why it isn't possible just was wondering if im not seeing the correct method to it???
Regular videos can be viewed no problem, are you having issues with them? YouTube uses flash to display the movies, so it's a little different. You can try downloading the Flash Player Lite :

I haven't tried it on the Dash, but you'll need something like that to watch YouTube videos. Backup your Dash before installing as always. Good luck!!

I don't think anyone's been able to get youtube to work on the Dash yet. The FlashLite adobe product only works for sites that are explicitely written to take advantage of it...and the number of sites any of us has ever found that do that: zero.
You can stream in and/or download videos from tinytube.net. That site seems to be some sort of proxy that reads/converts video from youtube into a format that can be viewed on the Dash. Works well.

Glad you found it -- if you'd attempted a quick search here, you'd find that info had been posted weeks ago, and, you're just a quick search away from a wealth of info on how to edit the registry.

i searched, and still cant find out how to do registry edits. i'm really not interested in doing registry edits, just that one to fix the landscape thing, so if somebody could please put a step by step directions on how to do it, i'd appreciate it. btw, i just downloaded total commander, thanks
omar
ok, i'm playing around with total commander, and i found HKLM\System\GDI\. so wat do i do now? do i scroll down in that folder to the add value selection? or do i go to file and then edit? and where do i add the landscape=0 thing? under that new folder that i just made, rotation? and do i put it as:
"landscapemode"=0 or landscapemode=0? thanks guys
omar
this cab will install the registry entry
you tha man, thanks a lot

anybody know how to fix this? thanks...
btw, when looking at the file on file explorer, the symbol for it it is a white paper with a flapping window inside...
Hi guys,
I am lokking for the video player app from Samsung Vibrant where I can look the screen during watching videos.
I haven't found any other player with this feather
Does anybody know the correct name of the app or can share it!?!
Thanks
Don't think anyone had successfully ported it yet
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Get mVideoPlayer from the market.
It's free, plays 720p downloaded mkv's without converting, not a problem, and supports external (only tried .srt) and internal subtitles. It's fast too.
I am searching for the look screen option, because when you would like to watch a movie and hold your phone in your hands, you may push a button.
And I think at the moments its the only app that have this feature.
So maybe anyone can port it

You can lock the screen with the power button (default videoplayer).
Locks screen and softkeys.
When you use the power button by Samsung Galaxy S the phone switch to sleep mode!
Thats strange. Mine locks the screen. Lock symbol appears in one corner. Pressing powerbutton again unlocks the screen. No matter if video started with videoplayer or through gallery.
I'm currently running JM5 firmware. Same behavior with stock JF3.

same JM5, same behaviour here, no need for third party app. the mVideoPlayer with subtitle capability is interesting though...
ionutz6: I think it's faster than the stock one, and has some "library" functions like bookmarks, remembers the time when closing videos, and mark the ones viewed (great for TV Shows).
And did I say it's free?
can this player do variable speed playback ?

Works fine with .ass subtitles too. I can't get it to play mkv internal subtitles though, I've got to use mkvextract and stick the files in the folder myself. Still can't find a player which will deal with multiple audio tracks either . Pain in the bum - means I've got to use mkvextract to rip out video, subs plus the audio track I want, then merge the vid/aud and keep the subs separate.
my default video player app supports has the lock feature by pressing the power button
and mVideoplayer also have a "lock controls" feature under the "more" menu
I have researched all over and have downloaded and tried several different ripping software, but I cannot get movies to play full screen. I also can't get mp4 to play, the only movie I've been able to get playing on the defy is one that I converted into 3gp...but it wasn't full screen and was crappy playback.
Can anyone please help! Right now I am on the stock 2.1. Thank you!
I reckon you could try 'super' as it has some wide options to choose from to fit your creteria. Google it should find the download site.

I googled 'super' 'super media player' 'super media player for android' - not finding a specific app called super. Is it a media player, or an app to customize other apps (such as the stock media players)? I saw Super Manager...is this what you are refering to? Thanks...
Go to market and search vital player which I am currently using. it comes with a software codec so in most cases, you dont even have to convert them. Note, Defy doesn't come with a hardware codec so it will be sluggish compared to say galaxy S
Sweet - works great! Thanks a bunch!
Hi, don't know about Droid players --> but it seems that you found one that works for you anyway.
But regarding re-encoding softwares, I strongly recommend "handbrake".
IMO, it is the best one I've tried by far because it is really easy to take a 4:3 format video files re-encode them to 16:9 mp4s. So cropping is very easily done and videos will be played without stretching on your phone.
If you want to try it for your Defy, select the "iPhone Legacy" format setting on the right side of the main screen and uncheck "large file size".
To crop:
look at the source format let's say it is 480x360, uncheck the keep aspect ratio box and replace the 360 value by 270--> [16/9=1.77] so 480/270 also is= 1.77 meaning you have to crop [360-270] 90 pixel vertically
--> so choose "custom" cropping and then remove that much from top and/or bottom.
Choose where to save the reformatted video and start - done!!
This software is awesome and fast; it keeps my two cpu usage at 100% (for the 2 cores...) so no time wasted for conversion. And there is batch conversion as well..
Hope you try and enjoy!

I recently shot a video at work using my oneX but stupidly held the phone the wrong way up, so when viewing the vid you have to turn your head to view it the right way up. i have tried using windows movie maker on my pc, but although that rotated it ok it also made the image really small?!? (i shot it at 1080p and converted it to the same before bunging it on windows). Can anyone suggest a video editor (preferably free but not nescessary) thats easy to use and will not shrink my vid when its been rotated please?
heres the vid so you can see what i mean...

Tried searching but didn't find this question.
I have made picture video with music of my little girl to leave with her for one day.
I have used DVD Catalyst 4 to convert them. It says the specs are converted to 1280x720. When I watch them on the phone the pictures are cropped at the top and bottom so I can't see all the picture.
The video looks perfect while playing on the computer.
So does anyone know of a different, ????x???, screen size so the pictures match my compter?
Thanks so much if you can help.

Hi Antonio,
Thank you for using DVD Catalyst,
Check the player you are using on your Samsung Galaxy S3. It could be that it is set to some Zoom setting that cuts off the video.
The files that DVD Catalyst 4 creates should play in all the video players, so you might want to try the Gallery app and/or the Google Videos app as well, and see if that makes a difference.
If that doesn't help, it is probably easier to just send me an email directly. Just tap on the "email us" button in DVD Catalyst, or use dvdcatalyst at gmail dot com.

Thanks,
No matter what video player I tried, BS Player, Stock video player, Rock Player, the zoom button did nothing at all on all 3.
Could not get it so I tried the drag and drop and let the phone convert it and it turned out perfect.
I just read some people are having issues with this method about the video not playing so I never tried it.
