wmv playback? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

WMV isn't playing in H/W mode. I purchased MXplayer and I'm having difficulty playing back WMV files. They play, but the audio and video is not in sync. The video is slowed down and I noticed that the videos only play in S/W mode. Any way to fix it? I'm currently playing back multiple types of WMV files mainly school lectures in WMV format.

Did you DL the A7+Neon codec plugin?
Also, can be supported natively, but you have to add a few lines to the media encoder xml file. You can find a guide in the N7 forum somewhere.

Is this the thread you are talking about GSLEON3?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517925

That is the thread for native. Also go to Play Store & download the MX A7+Neon codec app. It enables MX to handle more formats. Above will just allow them to be HW rendered, or played in the stock gallery app.

Video playback?

Can this phone playback AVI videos? Or just MP4? What software should I use to convert videos from AVI to MP4?
Thanks!
Yes it can, if you want to play a divx avi though, I suggest coreplayer, it works great with my touch pro 2 (although you have have to do some playing with orientation.)
There are lots of settings (easy to use settings) so you can get the most of your screen size.

Anime Video Player (MKV with subs)

I miss watching anime on the go. I am trying to get away from having to convert my videos to the psp. I was hoping there would be some way to do it on my EVO. The videos are MKV with subs.
I have tried
Stock - Does not play
RockPlayer - MKV plays but no subs
Mplayer - Does not play
YxPlayer- MKV players but no subs (and stupid advertisement in the middle of the video)
-------------------------
Anyone know any apps that play MKV with subs? Also if I were to convert with handbrake, what settings should I use to make it look good and have subs?
I know vplayer supports mkv, no idea about subs. Also, it's very much an alpha release.

thanks for the suggestion but Vplayer does mkvs fine but no subs.
Any other suggestions?
rockplayer's site says it has subtitle support but to what end i'm not sure, i would love to check for you but all my anime's subs are hardcoded =P
I downloaded a divx player named "demoplayer" and it works fine.
Havne't tried it, but this player:
http://mvideoplayer.info/
Touts a bunch of subtitle format support.
I tried it. I posted the results in the OP. It doesn't work for me the HTC evo because it doesn't originally play mkv files
its not a video player, and you still have to convert them but this works great.

vPlayer plays subs fine, just extract subs from your mkv using mkvextract (gui version if you prefer) or other extractor. if the sub isnt srt you can convert it with subtitle workshop or other app. ASS and SSA subs dont work, I tested, but
a 720p mkv enconded in h264 and audio in aac with the srt in the same foder with the same file name works like a charm on my evo.

Rock player also support srt, but I still prefer something that can play the files without having to convert / extract anything, if possible..

Important videos won't play back anywhere 720p

I recorded several very epic videos in 720p, they won't playback on my phone or pc! I used
Kingdom b1; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547
and this camera app; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084195
I've tried vlc, windows media player, quicktime, and on my Evo I tried astro and the stock htc gallery app.

*edit*
Click the following link and if you have quicktime installed your browser will attempt to play the video.

not sure what your prob is. People running the same set up are having no probs. I did notice that the format looks like its 3gp. If it is 3gp that may be your prob and u need to either use a 3gp video playerthat can do 3gp like vlc or convert it to avi or mp4 format. The evo stock records in mp4 so maybe the camera app you are using can record in diferent formats.

Try playing the video yourself.

Yeah tried playing it myself and does not work. Like i said b4 the video format that you have is 3gp and quicktime and most other players do not play that video format. If u want to play this with quicktime then u need to find a 3gp to mp4 video converter. I do not know why your video format is 3gp but that is your problem. Quicktime native compatible formats are AIFF, WAV, DV-DIF, MP3 and mp4, Also with addon components it can play ASF, DivX Media Format, Flash Video, Matroska, Ogg. So like i have said about three times already u need to convert the video from 3gp to mp4 or one of the native file formats quicktime supports. Here is a link to a pretty good converter http://download.cnet.com/AoA-iPod-PSP-3GP-MP4-Converter/3000-2194_4-10531870.html

My video's have always recorded in .3gp format. I can play back videos recorded in WVGA in .3gp but not 720p. Seems Kingdom b1 won't record 720p on my phone.
HW 004, if that helps.
And the video won't convert into anything else, renaming to .mp4 or .avi and so on doesn't help either.

video playback

what kind video does nexus play? I tried a avi file, it days there is a problem playing the file, would not open.
I'm wondering this as well. I have all my movies ripped as avi and wanted to put one movie on my device just in case I'm somewhere I can't stream. Apparently takes MP4, H.264, H.263 so we'll have to re-rip for the wider screen. I bought DVD Catalyst 4 for ~$10.
I use mx video player to play avi&wmv files. You have to use the software setting to play the videos correctly.
DICE Player for me, works 100% for everything I throw at it.
dice player is for trial 3 days.
rock player lite works. I tried avi, flv, both playing fine.
I could not find the menu in mx player.
why default built in video player can't play any video?

some movies won't play with audio.

I have a problem with some movies/series I'm watching on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5, the audio wont play at all sometimes. I'm using MX Player. I was watching these series (The Mentalist) and episodes were playing fine (MKV files), until I ran into one that would play but on mute, I tried playing the file on my PC and it was fine.
I looked around and apparently MKV is not supported by this tab? but why can I play a lot of other MKV files without any problem?

MKV is supported, AC3 is not. I don't know why samsung exclude AC3 audio codec from firmware. You can either try to enable software audio encoding in MX player or use VLC player, OR if you have a root acces, u can install AC3 codec. search here on XDA about how to do it.

Playing MKV without audio probleem. There is a special codec you can download somewhere on the net, just look around.
I use allplayer to play some movies that aren't supported in the default player.
