Ill try re-installing the app or something

Can utell me what rom ur using or if u have any theme?

Are you using the stock player on a stock rom? The stock epic video player supports a plethora of video codecs and contaniners, if you aren't running stock, perhaps it's something that was removed.

I'm on ics
So what if I just extracted the stock video apk from a stock rom and installed it.. think that would work?

You could try that, but honestly, I'd just grab a 3rd party player from the market that supports your video format of choice. That'e a bunch of options, and it would be easier.

im using the stock deodexed eh06 leak. one thought i have is that maybe the .avi is corrupted? did you try multiple files?

Rockplayer plays avi. I think it actually plays most video files.

The .avi file is a container for various video formats. Thus some avi files may play while others won't, the best player I've found was Vitalplayer.

Been my fave for quite a while too.

I have used doubletwist, which works most of the time. Sometimes, it doesn't and I will use QQPlayer. That thing plays everything

Well I happened to flash randoms hawk v.3.1 and the stock video app in that rom plays .avi fine
Thanks everyone tho

Playing video on CM7

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

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.

MKV player with .ass support

Could you please tell me app that can play mkv files and show .ass subtitles? I like to watch anime so that's very important.
I have mVideoPlayer and it works great but it doesnt show subs that translates for example signs.
I tried many others (moboplayer, Rock player, arcplayer, Meridian player)
but they all have the same problem)
Moboplayer works well for me.

mmmh...mines are mkvs with hard-subs generally so have less problems than you i think.
if i remember well long press on the files let you choose the subs.
another way could be to set the encoding characters in mobo options.
UTF-8 generally solves it for me

I dont think that you understand my problem. I can play ass subs.
When i watch anime and song starts playing it shows me lyrics of sonfs trnaslated in english but than it doesnt show subs of what are they talking because it shows lyrics. Lyrcs should be on top and here it shows on bottom. I hope that you understand.

ha yes, i see ^^
had the prob too with some subs in MOBO and haven't found any solution for that.
As far as i know, those kinds of probs came from lazy subbers
i'm already happy to be able to play my files on my phone (saves me the pain to bring a laptop + hard drives at work lol ) so generally i don't bother to much for that on my phone when all is good at home on my computer with CCCP

Are you sure it doesn't just save the video as an mp3?

Tubemate!! They give you the option to download in MP3, FLV, SD, & HD if the Youtube video has it. I've had it since forever. Its great. Google search it. I think the link is tubemate.net Its like tubex except that tubex is a rip off copy. I've had tubemate since before tubex came out and yeah, tubex is a copy.

I haven't tried the options out myself but they are there for most videos. It also allows you to play all yotube video in mp4 format or 3GP (high or low quality) even if they aren't suited for mobile phone, I have used this feature before.

I've been using TubeMate as well and have had no issue's downloading YouTube files and with great quality and choices.
I still like keepvid better, it does everything you guys stated, and isn't limited to just YouTube videos as its source.

Movies?

Does CM9 have any issues playing movies? I put a couple movies on my phone but can't get them to play. I'm on alpha 5 still. The movies used to work fine on CM7 but says they can't play now. Is there a trick or certain folder I should use?

I've never had an issue with movie playback. Running cm9 beta0 at the moment. But I never had an issue with alpha5 either. Could be a codec?

QQ Player is good too actually plays AVI files unlike Double Twist, MX, etc...

No HW decoding?

On MX Player there is an option to pick hardware decoder for a video. But on this phone its locked, and I can only pick software. I am running Skyraider Zeus.
Im running CM9 and I have the option and it works. Did MX prompt you to install the neon codec?

What is the point of your "bump"?
I guess it depends on the video format. I have come across some videos that I can use HW encoding and then some the option will be grayed out.
