So can the G2 play WMA files or should I start to convert to mp3? If it can play WMA, what are the settings needed?
Thanks in advance.

Rockplayer..plays most codecs. AVI being the biggest for me. Vplayer is cool because it has gestures but rockplayer is most stable for me. Plays wma too just to clarify. They both do

Yeah its good times being able to throw any rip on phone to watch at work and not bother having to shrink and convert

Any third party player should be able to handle most if not all media formats. The stock players often won't support rare formats like .m4a but if you really don't wanna convert them then stick to something like WinAmp.

Is there a way to play video on CM7? I have Rock Player installed to play .avi movies. But they don't seem to be working. Does anyone know a solution.

You should try arcMedia on the market....I can play .avi files with it
I downloaded and tried it. The video still won't play. It's like something is blocking it. It looks like it's gonna start but then it kicks me back out of the app.

VPlayer.
How fast is your MicroSDHC card? I know I have problems with high-def video on the card that came with the phone. I hear that faster cards have better results.

I'm trying to play .avi files. They usually play fine with Rock Player.

Can not play any video in CM7
If you use rockplayer in software decode mode, it will work... I was having the same issue..

What codec? What resolution? What bitrate?
I'm having the same problem, it looks like its going to start then back to the root of my SD. video format is not an issue because the same videos worked with the same version of rock player on MIUI, CM6, and stock.
So what's the best player that plays avi format files with CM7 rom?
VPlayer works fine for me. Been watching DivX DVDRips all the time with it.

For some reason I can't get Real Player for my g2. I'm using CM7. Can someone give me a real audo player for the g2?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Vplayer plays real files no problem... if not try rockplayer
Hey guys, quick question. I have unity, when i first started using it the prompt would come up asking what player I wanted to use playing movies off the net. Now its just a player that i hate. The one I liked was like the stock player from the g2, you could press forward and it would advance in 15sec increments. Any idea where I can get that one or one like it? I think it was called "es player" or something when it would come up. Thank you in advance.

Try rock player. Stock video player on non sense roms suck balls. The sense video player is so much better and you can play more than 3GP or .mkv. for example with stock non sense player you would have to convert avi ti .mkv which is pointless when you have other players like the ones I mentioned that can play the correct codec without converting and dithering of quality

Your talking about "es file explorer". It plays video files as will. Just go to market and get es file explorer you'll be all set.

Hi.
Problem is with HQ videos (movies etc).
Mostly HD videos have NOT the sound (experienced with MX Player, default 4.0.3. & 4.1.1 version players). Playing them with VPlayer (paid version) it force closes sometimes without any notification or something. Probably force closes because of RAM (not ROM).
BUT videos which haven't sound playing on other video players have sound on VPlayer.
The issue is on any ROM.
Please help me if you know the answer.. Thanks anyway
have a nice day..

Did you try using the S/W or S/W (fast mode) codec other than the default H/W codec? It's located on the top right and me and my brother have been using MX Player Pro and we play MKV files all the time.
(just dropping by on HoX section to check my brother's thread)

of course. anyway it isn't working.
p.s. just found out that the issue isn't only with HQ videos but with several formats..
yesterday watched a HQ video on MX Player and it worked. Now tried different video on MX Player, and again. There's no sound.
With VPlayer the sound is always but the player uses (probably) too much resources so it's force closes. Or VPlayer is stupid (hate paid apps that fails)
p.s.s. Just changed the sound_effects.conf file from system files (/etc) to the original one. Anyway it's not working.

Just found out that MX Player doesn't play sound for the videos that H/Q Decoder is NOT supported. How can I run them on MX Player with sound cause S/W player and S/W (fastmode) have NOT the sound ;(
and I don't want to use that freaking $#@$^ #@%$# @ %^ &#@* [email protected]%#^! VPlayer (+paid version).. (hate the refund policy)
Anybody have the same issue with H/Q Decoder for several videos?

I second the use of MX Player - been running it on both my phone and the Nexus 7 and it's great. I like that it was gesture controls as well as on-screen buttons.
The app called 'MX player' is the best player I found. It plays just about any type of video format you there.

I used MX player since I purchased the N7 and i found it almost perfect. For everything else, you can try the nightlies of XMBC. Probably once it will be polished will be a good alternative.

I did not know about this one, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!
So far I've been using MXplayer, however, and ideally, I wish I could solely use VLC as I'd prefer to rely on open source software.

Diceplayer works well for me using hardware decoding.
MXplayer stutters for me using hardware decoding. Software decoding works fine on MXplayer, but uses more battery than h/w decoding.
Nothing I have found gas played 1080p video with DTS audio add well add bsplayer. This is very important to me add I rather not have top convert or download different versions for my mobile device

No one here uses "Super Video, Floating and Popup"? This and Mobo player have been ole faithfuls for me. For one Super Video has gestures, (turn volume up and down while watching movie), Also after one video ends, it automatically plays another. (Works very well when watching saved music videos, and don't want to have to click on another video after the last one ended.) It also has minimizes to a small floating video so you can see your home screen in the background while you continue to watch movies/videos.
If MXplayer does this also, i might need to give it a try.
The stock gallery app is easily the best for playing videos it supports.
I don't think other players support the LPcore and stuff, and they use waaay too much processing power. I have tried 3rd party ones but they all use more than one core at nearly full freq most of the time. This is why I'm using stock
Feel free to prove me wrong though
