Anyone find or suggest a video player that supports AVI (Divx) files for the Nook Color?
Act 1 video player i think

No, Act 1 player does not playdivx. Rock player plays videos rather superbly. I watched a 720p video with only occasional lags.
there is another media player called Arcmedia that can handle xvid/avi videos. I used it to watch a few episodes of an SDrip of Avatar the last airbender, no noticeable lag.
I haven't tried on my nook, but on my evo hands down the best (smoothest playback) divx player I've seen is yxplayer. If you want to "try" it before you buy it search around filestube.

Alternatively, there's a 2 hour refund window on the app market...so how about we not condone piracy for any reason at all, shall we?
Isn't it only 15 minutes?

My bad, you're correct. But that should still be plenty of time to see if it works.

Actually.... I personally couldn't verify within 15 minutes for most launchers, and other various programs. I get why google implemented this policy but for some apps I need at least an hour. As for the yxplayer 15 min may be enough but be sure before you buy you have however many files you want to test, on the sdcard, READY to go, 15 min goes a lot quicker than you think.
I can confirm Arcmedia works with normal xvid avis with no lag whatsoever. However, it seems to be a microsecond out of sync. Guess that's to be expected.

Hi guys, just thought I'd share my findings. Not sure if many here use veetle but here goes.
So it was the FA Cup final (soccer?) over in england and I can't get a decent steam over here in asia. Thus I turned to veetle. Veetle plays on my g tablet with flash 10.3. But video is a bit choppy. I'm on tnt 4.4.
To overcome this, I searched the net and found a "fix".
Heres what you need to do:
1) Get dolphin hd browser (not sure if setting user agent is available on stock browser)
2) Get vplayer from market (if not available, search online for apk)
3) Go to settings in dolphin browser and set user agent to Iphone (not ipad).
4) Visit veetle.com and stream away. The video should open the vplayer and stream the .m3u8 format from there.
Note: vplayer is a paid app. Free version is a trial for seven days. I bought the app on my desire hd and ported over. It did not appear on my g tablet market. (using olympus build prop). And watching on copy righted content on veetle is not strictly legal but I'm a poor student and theres no decent feed here.

Plug in then unplug headphones.
Hey dear XDA peeps!
I have some videos, music videos, comic shows and so on, that I want to be able to listen to when I turn off the screen on the phone. Ive checked out options and havent found a way to do this yet. Anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Another question, are there an app that which makes it possible to save youtube vids as mp4 format? Like the addon to Firefox
Btw, does flash movies work for you guys? Youtube and other web pages flash movies doesnt work with the built in browser for me..
LEBUMP! Noone Wirth any information?

Hi all,
I've looked around but I guess we will have to accept the fact that the N7 falls short when it comes to media playing capabilities.
The other day me and a friend were comparing 2 awesome devices, my N7 and his S3.
The S3 handles most formats of video without any issues and even features an amazing PIP feature that lets you see videos on desktop or over other apps without lagging the system.
The N7 on the other hand can hardly play any worthy media formats. I downloaded some HD YouTube devices in mp4 format via tubemate app but couldn't play any of those with hardware and software rendering.
I couldn't even play my 720p movies that the S3 or the galaxy tab handles like a baby.
I'm guessing there might be some way to watch movies otherwise it seems an awful waste of the multi core processor and gpu.
Looking forward to your feedback / comments
Not really sure what's happening on your end, but I can play all files perfectly smooth. Though only up to 720p mkvs so far. I'm using BSPlayer by the way.
I've yet to find a video file I couldn't play, though I also haven't pushed past 720p mkv files. Mostly using MoboPlayer and the VLC Beta. What are you using for a video player?
Yeah, you have to install bsplayer litehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free

Just got my nexus yesterday (first android device ) and tested a few media players, there are a number that have hardware decoding and can play pretty much anything.
I've settled on using "DicePlayer" as its the only one I found that still supports DTS, it also supports smb natively so no file manager needed.
You need to install "DicePlayer" and "DicePlayer Plugin" if you want DTS then you need to follow the advice in the thread below (simple process)

Having no trouble at all playing 1080p mkv over smb very impressed
OK now on sure there's something wrong at my end. No wonder I was so frustrated. I have tried all of the above players but not able to play high def files. My device is stock, unrooted and otherwise running awesome. YouTube HD works great but if I download the same video, it doesn't play past a few seconds on software rendering. On hardware rendering there's no video.
Do me a favor, download Katy Perry's Wide Awake video using the tubemate android app. Select a high resolution and see if you can play it. Thatwill answer a lot many questions
Agree on DicePlayer, it has always been the best for me on tegra 3 devices.
The video playing capability on the nexus should exceed that of the s3. Thats where the quad-core comes in handy.
If you want the "PIP", or floating video window on the nexus look for Stick It on the play store.
There was a video on youtube that I cant find now. They tried to see how many stick it windows they could get opened before the prime was out of memory and gave up. They got to somewhere around 14 or so seperate windows all playing different videos. good times.

I'm not installing an app I don't want but I did download "Katy Perry's Wide Awake" in 1080p from the KatyPerryVEVO channel, played it over smb from my pc in dice player and it worked fine and was hardware decoded.
Of course you need "DicePlayer Plugin" for HW decoding

If you mean you can only find "DicePlayer plugin for tegra2" that's what I was referring to.
I cant post links yet on here due to my low post count
Yup. OK installing the tegra 2 plugin and retrying. Will update in a bit

OK, installed the tegra 2 plugin and still the same issue. The player stops at exactly the same spot, around a minute or so. Tried with 2 different videos. I'm guessing now that there is something wrong in the app that I'm using to download these videos since its difficult to imagine that such a great device would lack here.
Funny thing is, same videos are playing flawless on my Desire HD

Sounds like you have an app installed that is causing problems.I know the ultimate rotation app many use to get a tablet ui caused the same effect on my n7.Once I got rid of it I have never had another problem with any video.I use the BS player and it plays about anything I have come across. jmo
I dont have ultimate rotation. I use adw to get landscape home. Tried BSplayer too but let me try again just to be sure

I suggest you look at MX Video Player with the ARMv7 codec pack. Both are free and available on the market. Plays everything I've ever thrown at it. Every once in awhile something looks funky and to resolve it I switch it to S/W decode mode.
Anyways, I hope that helps.

I'm not sure about netflix but I've got same stuttering/laggy HD videos in the youtube app as well after the update to ICS. It no longer streams HD videos smoothly. Switching HD off makes it play fine. I'm running stock ICS, and on HC it was smooth. Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2YJggBVdeI
in youtube app. The stuttering is quite annoying, every 5-10 seconds.
It's not my bandwidth. I don't know if this is an ICS issue or the youtube app issue, but my phone with ICS has no problems playing HD videos in youtube app. Does anyone know a fix ? Thanks.

I'm getting the same problem too! Pretty frustrating. I'm happy with the ROM otherwise. Can anyone help?
Same problem myself. Downloading the YouTube video with Tubemate and there's no problem. No clue how to fix it. :/
Same here
HD videos in youtube that used to play flawlessly now stutter as mentioned above after the update to ICS. Is their an official samsung grievances forum where we can all go and put this as a bug?

Isn't the YouTube app from Google? Anyway, yes I do get the stuttering on some hd videos mainly those with a lot of action. I bet there is something wrong with the codec used by the YouTube app.

I bet not. Using AOKP it is fine, no stuttering. Samsung released something half baked.
