Hey guys, i downloaded rockplayer from market but cant seem to run it right. Every time i run avi video it crashes. Im running Froydvillain 1.7.2
does anyone have a clue whats wrong?
It seems that it doesn't work properly in froyodvillain....
try flashing latest floyo 1.2..
seems this helps you.
Same with the FROYO_2.2_Special_Edition_RC1_update1 (elelinux)
i suggest arcmedia player. i tried almost video type from my pc, all playable (high bitrate =laggy)
Or you can also try QQplayer, I have been using it for a while and there is no lag whatsoever, pretty excellent player made for low end devices.
i suggest you try using seamanplayer it works great on my hero. i had problems with rockplayer.

This is a great place!
I have been reading all the threads that might have anything to do with video playback.
I've installed those 3D drivers and graphics were improved on that hologram thing and "light 3d"
Still, video playback is choppy and im grinding my teeth seeing it!
I have converted videos in all kinds of formats in all kids of FPS and KBPS and kept VGA resolution and still no use.
Have i missed something?
thanks!!
what media player are you using dude? ive been using TCMP for the longest time and i have no problems on playing my videos/movies...
i tried using the built in windows media player, coreplayer, and i have used tcpmp once but the bottom taskbar was black so i didnt know what problem that program had.
anyways, the tcpmp didnt play smooth. maybe i had a bad version?
Have you tried viewing some other content other than your own converted files? try using the attached sample avi with all 3 players and see how that goes.
ive tried the videos that came with the phone.
windows media player handles videos much better than coreplayer but still no smooth video.
this is weird, on other ppc's that ive had (a few) coreplayer/tcpmp played videos much better than wmp.
over here its the exact opposite.
how come?
what ROM are you using?
original ROM that came with the diamond.
in my case its 2.o3
israel orange
help? anyone?
I don't know anyone here who is on the same ROM. you could try upgrading the ROM??
what ROM should i use?
can i extract the hebrew that comes with the ROM currently on my diamond?
i kinda need it
well of course that the built in WMP will play the video smoother than the core player. It`s because only WMP can use the hardware accelerator in the phone.
still the core player don`t have the proper drivers to access to the GPU.
ya it plays smoother, but still not smooth.
and theres all this tearing.

make sure you use qtv
With TCPMP set Video to GDI.
i installed tcpmp and when i ran it it came up with a message "crashed"
and it won't run.
i used Qtv with the coreplayer and it was still slugish
Be sure you use the version on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519543&highlight=TCPMP
It works great on my Diamond.
Ive installed a tcpmp from another thread from this forum.
It works and plays videos but its still slugish.
Is there a patch or a fix i was supposed to install?
Smooth video playback
Hi all,
I was having problems with jerky video playback.
I did some searching and found this link-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
It works a treat really smooth and in 640 480
WELL DONE
I saw this too...
It doesn't play smooth on my device.
still, this is the program i use to convert video if i wanna play something on my diamond
even tho it stinks (the diamond not the program!)
Hi idandavid,
PM me your email and I will send you a mov video of my Diamond playing a smooth video.
Or send me a video, I will conver it and try playing it on my Diamond. I can then send you the converted file to compare on your Diamond.
Hope this helps

So yesterday I was playing around and tried to get some porn clips to play on the phone. I downloaded a video (using a greasemonkey script) and then I transfer the .flv to one of the cards.
It says something like: "filetype not admited" ("tipo de archivo no admitido")
Does it have to do with the flash version? I have stock jf3 root and lagfix app.
Youtube is ok, spankwire or xvideos, are not. You can see it's a REALLY SERIOUS problem
However, sgs media player is supposed to get along with .flv right?
Is there a way for this videos (or others .flv) to play on the phone apart from converting?
i had something similar happen to me
but of course mine was an almost 4GB file with surround sound all channels and HD but it was on 720 mkv, but it gave me the same message
now i loaded another similar mkv file but it was only stereo and that worked fine
seems like the phone can't support HD audio
I see. So it probably has to do with the audio then.
I can resemble this situation
Like all original, un-modded Droid owners, I was looking forward to Froyo and Flash player 10.1. Well, it finally got here. Sites now work, (e.g. Kongregate) and others. Works with Youtube and such. Does not work with .flv files, haven't tried .swf files yet, nothing seems to play from the device, AFAIK.
I would speculate that what we see when things do "play" on the device is the streaming variety of the media.

One of these days I will get around to rooting my Droid and my Eris. Someday....
I have similar problem. I´ve downloaded Megavideo application and when I try to play the video from app with stock player (and I beleived that Galaxy S stock player must handle .flv without problems) so it starts to play, but only with black screen and no sound. In Rockplayer or others it works just fine. Any suggestions how to help it? Thanks a lot
I think the best option is to just use RockPlayer for this.
I've tried using video converters but it's not worth it because audio/video quality can suffer or even get messed up badly. RockPlayer is just more convenient and simple.
I've installed RockPlayer on the NC and it seems to run standard def video (avi) that I've got in the 20-25 fps range while hd (720p) video is pretty much a slide show. What are the NC's capabilities video wise?
I ran quadrant and can see that the 3D performance isn't good compared to my Samsung Captivate but does that apply to video as well? I've played the same videos on my Captivate using RockPlayer and the stock video player and the stock player works much better than RockPlayer on the phone with much smoother playback. I've tried to copy the video player to the NC but get install errors every time so I'm guessing that it's incompatible.
Are there better video players that people recommend?
I am using mixzing to watch my movies. Works great!
Anyone else getting out of sync audio on... Everything? I've tried lots of sw player and not a one was in sync (avi, mp4, sd, hd). From what I've read, 2.2 should fix this, but bummer if it doesn't. I've got an ipad, and want to want the nook instead since the ipad isn't the laptop replace I thout it would be.
EDIT: Looks like MP4's are in Sync, so I assume it's the FFMPEG software decode that these players are using, as the MP4 should be done in hardware. Hopefully this thing'll get 2.2 before Jan. 3rd when my B&N return is up!

I'm having the same problem and hoping someone figures out why. I can't imagine it's a hardware problem...
What exactly is the point on watching a HD file in a non HD device? With the Nook's screen you can get away with a 480P video and it'll look fantastic. Lower resolutions will look pretty decent too. Pixels are all nice and good but there's a time and a place for everything... well, in this case only a place and that's your living room big screen TV
Using the stock player on the Nook I am having no issues with audio and video staying in sync.
Mixzing is great, but won't play avi files. I don't want to have to convert all my files just to play on one device...
act 1 video player works fine for me no sync issues

Per your post I checked this out and you are right...it does work great with more options while playing. I think the only way to "back" out of a movie is to use the "n" button though. ?
Hi there. I've had my nook color for about a week, and I'm having quite a problem getting my videos to play with the audio and video properly synced. I've done quite a bit of reading, but I haven't been able to find anything about this, so I'm hoping you fine people will be able to give me a hand here.
The Problem - The video is consistently about a quarter of a second ahead of the video. That is to say, I will hear what's being said/going on before I'll see it. Another interesting phenomenon is that this same issue occurs within Angry Birds, except that the video moves/plays first, and then the audio plays catch up.
About my nc- I rooted using Autonooter, I have working gapps, and my software version is 1.0.0. I have flashed the "Screamer" 950 Mhtz kernel, and most everything seems to be working except for the above mentioned video. Angry
What I've tried - A better question is what I haven't tried. I've tried converting the XviD AVI video files to M4V, I've tried playing from the internal memory, microSD card, and approximately 6 different video players ranging from ArcSoft, to VitalPlayer, to the dreaded VPlayer. All yield the same result with 3 different video files.
So, what do you guys think? Would upgrading to 1.0.1 or even 1.1.0 help with this? Or am I doing something else wrong? Any suggestions are welcome at this point.
Thanks ahead of time.

Are you using Handbrake to format your videos for the Nook Color?
The best format is mp4 with a resolution of 624x352 with the video codec at H.264.
You can download Handbrake here: http://handbrake.fr/
The built-in video player works fine for these videos.
Thanks for the reply.
I was converting videos using Freemake to m4v, and the converter has an Android preset. These playback just fine on my computer. As soon as I move them to the nook, playback is out of sync.
Do you think it would make any differnce to update to 1.0.1 or 1.1.0?
Just loaded Xboxexpert's BuildsFroyo 2.2 , everything seems to work just right except the video performance. I have a video I took with my G2x that won't even play , and a mp4 video that plays very choppy. Normally I would ask in the original thread but is has been closed.
Is there something else I can do to smooth out the video choppiness , maybe try a different rom....a better video player...
Please let me know
Try out Mobo Player Neon, but frankly, i would say ditch Froyo, and go with the more modern CM7 (Gingerbread). Support for Froyo is all but dropped, with all active devs (devs, not themers) working on Gingerbread or greater.
If you do go CM7, i still suggest MoboPlayer (with the Arm7Neon codec if needed)...
