Hello,
On my HOX+, I downloaded some Game of thrones episodes in 720p, uploaded the files in the "Videos" directory in the device and when I go to the Gallery and then click one of the episode it says it cannot be played.I looked it up in google and I can't seem to find the thing that I want.
Also, usually the HOX+ CAN playback subtitle files like .srt right?
Thanks in advance!
Try "VLC beta for Android" from the market.

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.

Another vote for Rock Player.
Can someone help me and find out why my.phone won't play a .mov file or video sent from my girls iPhone. She took a video of my step son. Sent it to my gmail account. But when I hit info to play, it says, " no app can play this file or open" any advice? And the phone has flash player is installed. But when I scroll through the applications menu, it's not there. I thought it was at first. I had to do a factory reset and erased internal storage as well. does doing this erase preloaded apps? And the phone is new. Never rooted..I'm sure being the latest and greatest phone out there it should play a .mov file attachment from an iPhone. Thanks for the help

flash player won't play .mov files, because, well, they aren't flash files
if the gallery app won't play it, try something like this

You must enable flash player from drop down menu of browser. Just tick it. To play the video, try mx player free from market.
I had the same issue with my girlfriends iphone. I just used Vidcon from the market to convert the video to a better format. Conversion is so fast on the HOX.
Could always use an alternative video player. MX player or even BSPlayer lite.
Either way will work. I usually convert them because I like to lol

Sorry. I'm new to android.. is this normal for a phone like this not to have a proper app for movie files? I will definitely check out a few apps to download. Thanks.

For the same reason you cant play some files on your Windows Media Player PC.
If our phones could do everything right out from the box, we wouldnt need the Market (Play), right ?
If you cant do something, just download a app.

It does have a proper app for playing movie files. The fact apple use their own format instead of a default .mp4/.avi or any other standard format isnt androids fault. Use MXplayer as above or google 'videolan android xda' and that will play everything.
Thanks guys for all the help. Downloaded mx player. Works great. U love that's site

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..

nah, for me mostly without sound. but I prefer it the most. maybe something wrong is with my phone after rooting? cause before it worked incredibly smooth and good.. and then BOOOOOM! your videos will work only without sound.. cool >.<
what could be the problem?
oh. some time ago I installed VolumePlus..? and I had it wanted to change one file in system files.. maybe that's the problem? but I don't know how to solve it :s

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'm having trouble playing some videos on my phone. They are .mp4 videos and I'm trying to play them in MoboPlayer. The video opens for a second and then closes and I get a message saying the video can't be played and to try soft decoding. When I try soft decoding, the video plays but it's really slow or choppy. Any thoughts about whether it's a codec issue? I can play .wmv files fine. I've tried other players. Could it be an HD issue, the videos are 1080p? I'm running the latest Viper ROM.
Thanks.
Yeah it's the 1080p part. Have you tried MX player though? Wicked sweet player with tons of functions. I would get a file converter n bring it down to 720 honestly.

That worked. Guess I don't need 1080p on a 4" screen

doesn't make sense, he said it does so with every video
Try using ' MX Player ' or ' Mobo Player ' they both have hardware and software support, you could alternate.
