Playing video on CM7 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Also what type of video are you trying to play? I've had some issues with some formats...

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.

Watching videos on Evo sent from iPhone

Im having a problem watching video emailed to me. It's being recorded and sent from an iPhone, I download the attachment to my SD card and try to view it using rockplayer but it won't play. I'm obviously a noon to android so any advice is greatly appreciated

probably not the right codec. You may need to convert it first to h264 baseline if it doesnt play with any player.
I use Best VPlayer Pro1.1.2 from the market and it plays the *.mov files taken from iDevices without much problems and it is free

Can you tell what format the video sent to you is in? I personally feel that MoboPlayer is better than Rockplayer and it may be able to handle the video.
Conversion is never the best solution. Sometimes, Apple names them with a particular file extension, which is really another. I know that is confusing, but if you can tell us the format of the video from the iPhone, we can help you more easily.
My girl sends me txts with videos from her iPhone and I use handcent sms to watch them with no problems.
Best video player pro works great! Thank u!

Google an apk called tubex. It works like a charm.

I've always wondered does anyone know of an actual Youtube downloader and converter? All of these just save the video as an mp3 file.

Jetvd.apk 1.2.2 has the most save options, you can do 3GP MP4 and FLV video formats and of course MP3

Ill try it out.
Are you sure it doesn't just save the video as an mp3?
Sent from my SPH-D700
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.

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.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
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

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?

[Q] MX Player to Buffer Web Videos

HI,
I shifted to note 2 a month back and noticed this issue. On my atrix 2 whenever i buffered a video (say from IMDB) it used to play in mx player. But in GN2 that is on jelly bean it starts up in some some crappy player imbedded in the website i think. Even the imdb app plays the videos in some absurd player. Videos from the facebook app somehow go to MX player.
So the question is: Is there any way to make the mx player play these videos. The other players lack gesture controls and thats a must for me.
I have already tried clearing the data of the default player but it didn't help at all.
Yeah go to app manager and select video player. Then click clear defaults. Now try to play video.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Utkarsh bhai.. as i already said i have cleared all the data. There are no defaults set right now. Can u give IMDB a try on your phone and see which player it chooses?
Thanks for replying though :good:
