I have the Verizon TP2, and I just put a movie on my memory card, but when I go to play it, it comes up saying "Cannon Play The File"
I have it on my computer, so I know its an .avi file, I just thought that the TP2 could play them straight out of the box.
Does anyone know of a good media player that will play just about anything, including .avi and DivX files?
The best player is coreplayer, its not free tho, using the legal ways.
good luck on finding a player.

So I want to convert all of my video media to MP4 so I can play it back on my Evo. Any good tools, free or paid, that can do this as a batch? I have over 2TB of media and would like to make this as much of a stream line process as possible.
I have found and used Handbrake before, but I'd like something faster if at all possible.

I'm going to give you the tools you need to do that, but I'm first going to suggest that you google rockplayer. It's an open beta app that will play your movie files like xvid and divx similar to VLC. It works amazingly for me. But if you insist on converting then here's a link to help.

I'll check that app out and look at the link. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Seems like rockplayer, doesnt play some of my videos.... Any ideas? Plays, but no sound.
I don't know about you guys but rockplayer is really bad at playing 720p which is all id watch on this screen..
Swyped from my Evo 4G
Damage Control 3.2.3
Brought an .avi movie over from my hard drive and when I click on it, I get options to play it via MixZing or Movies. Select Movies and a black screen loads but the phone locks up.
Is this the right formats to play with an Evo?
Nevermind.
Just found my answer.
just so that when people search they have the answer. By default .avi isnt supported with the movies player, You can use Rockplayer (from market) and play .avi or if you want to play a video on your EVO movie player you need it to be MP4

Thats what lead me to rockplayer too! It plays flv and avi i mean what else do you really need ........
nothing having a nice emergency porn ready just in case!
I was wondering can .swf files be played locally from my microsd.
I'm not sure how many times this has been asked, but I've done some searching and all I've found was postings for some third-party software that would convert the said file to mp4. I choose not to use it. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/tips on solving this pain of a problem. Thanks!
*bump* Still hoping for a response...and not a ban.
You can use Rock player or YX player. Both player plays almost any format you throw @ it. YX player even plays Mkv files...
I'll try them both & see what happens. Thanks alot!
No good. Neither Rock Player nor YX Player will recognize them.
Thanks anyway. Maybe just have to wait until someone decides to build a true app for these.
I love how video looks on the kindle fire!
Most of my ripped movies in my "Movies" network share play, but VOBs don't (DVD MPEG). MX Video player and ArcMedia player claim to play VOBs, but they don't. ArcMedia can access the share but won't play the VOBs. Neither ArcMedia or MX will associate with the VOB extension, so Android doesn't know what player to launch if I access a VOB via network share in a file browser.
Anybody tried playing a ripped DVD with an android device? If you had success, what player did you use?
Has nobody tried or wanted to play ripped DVDs?
Your best bet after ripping them is converting the format if the video is unsupported by android if possible and the only ripping I do with DVD videos is with iTunes and movies

Oh and I'd try to convert to a more common format ex: mp4

VOB files are not really uncommon. That's the format of every DVD.
I use Daroon Player to play VOBs that are locally loaded on my Fire. I don't remember if I sideloaded it or not.
ok, i really have the lg optimus L9 from tmobile. but no forum yet for the L9 so here i am. just got the phone and am new to andriod, have ice cream.
just want to play a frickin mp3 and avi files that are on the sd card. if i use file manager and naviagate to avi video, i see a small thumbnail. but when i try to click it i get 'try again after scanning media file'. no idea how to scan media files. navigate to mp3 and click get a choice of google play music or music player. music player gives me again "try again after scanning media files'. now all of a sudden the google media works for my mp3 - no idea why.
guess i am trying to understand how to scan media files. and which program will use the library, google play music or music player. and how can i play video. i am ok with even purchasing a player as i really like to play just about any format without having to convert. what is the player out there that will play the most formats?
thanks
For media searching use the SD Sync app from market. Works well.
where is the best place to go to download apps?
Google Play ofcourse
ok. guess i am trying to figure for now
1) if i copy a media file to my storage card, how can i play it right away, without having to update my whole library. i want to download, point an applicaiton to it an play it.
2) what is the video player that can play the most formats?
1)Open the file with file manager. I prefer the root explorer.
2)LG stock player supports everything, at least no problems even with .mkv packed files.
Oh, you got the L9. Not sure about yours but must be same i think
Also if the file was downloaded from web, you can select/open in directly in the download manager.
Just Figured this out M'Self
OK, just had same issue (same 'system message') trying to watch videos using the built-in Video Player. Maybe it was the first time I used it, but I was actually trying to figure out how to use the new 'Q-Slide' feature to watch a video while doing something else on the phone.
I actually pulled up the manual PDF (downloaded from LG, here), then <CTRL+F> (searched the document for similar system mssgs), and got a 'hit' on Page 49 of the OEM manual (my search, BTW, was 'media files'--'scan for' never found it).
You have to let the system do this for the 'FileShare' app also (I'm sure it's about 'indexing'), so I did, and it worked.
Not so much a 'system error', as a little 'systemic quirk' (much like a cosmic queef)
