Hi !
I'm currently trying to make FLV videos work flawlessly on my G Pad 8.3 with the stock Lollipop ROM. For some reason videos with this format don't work well (many frames are skipped). The video players I've tried are : stock LG player, stock Google Photos player, MX Player, VLC Player and FLV Player.
Do I have to install some kind of codecs ?
Thanks

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..

Spec sheet from SE states device will support wmv playback
Does not work.
Should this work without an additioanl player installed? (rock player etc.)
It works with Rock Player, didn't try on the default player.
But you can't Fast Forward wmv files on most player except for Seaman Player but wmv files aren't smooth ........

Thanks for the reply.
Default player does not work.
Puzzling why SE spec page states it supports this format.
Just to finalize this thread.
Bought Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 6
Converts files to .mp4, flawless.
I installed the alpha version of VLC media player and was able to directly play a 1080P WMV file which is not currently supported by Amazon media player. Playback wasn't entirely smooth, but not sure if this is due to a alpha software that may not support the video accleration features of the Fire. In any case, this shows that VLC will allow us to play other formats than what Amazon is supporting.
Anyone try TetherGPS?
Has anyone tried a simple .AVI file?
yea, the bundled dash limits showing most video files moved to the device in the videos tab. This being said if you install mxplayer or any other relevant vid player and use root explorer or even go launcher playing most divx / avi videos is a breeze.
Well doesnt the nook Tablet have the same processor and stuff that the Fire does. I know the Nook Tablet can play 1080p so why couldnt the fire?
The VLC app for Android is in Alpha version so maybe trying another fully tested and released player known to work with Nook at 1080P is in order to compare apples to apples.
I wasn't able to play an XviD encoded AVI, but sideloading Moboplayer (com.clov4r.android.nil-1.apk) works great.

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded moboplayer pro (free) from the Android Market and it played the 1080P WMV much smoother than the VLC player alpha.
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?
on my Droid3, Droid4 and Huawei Ascend Mate i am using the MX Player Pro to play MKV files.
On the G Pro i can not play MKV files, not with with MX Player, not with the original Player on the LG G Pro.
Anyone knows a player ?
cheers ...
VLC
What? Can't play MKV?
LG Flagship have most powerful codec than the other.
Stock player handle everything except hi10p format (snapdragon fault).
I play mkv files on my GPro with MX-Player.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
my standard-player is the mx player pro, i have 7 mkv video clips and only 1 will play. The tip from here use vlc the same result.
For me its not important .. but i thinks its very spooky coz on my huawei ascend mate and droid 4 all 7 files are playing with the mx player.
thanks for helping ... i think i will convert it.
cheers
UPDATE: Sorry, my fault !!!!!! the mkv not running are defect ....
