video playback help - Nook Color General

I am new to the site and let me say wow I just started this post and i was given similar post list to bad it didn't have what i was looking for but wow
now to my question i have rockplayer universal installed and it will not play my dvix
1. what format is recommended
2. should rockplayer work did i do something wrong should uninstall and reinstall via app store
last but no least does nc support the flashplayer.apk ?
tired install on my nc 1.0.1 and i get sdk orlder error
I didn't want to make multiple post but i like my movies thanks in advance for any help and direction i will continue to search thanks

Flash is only available on Android 2.2. Nook Color 1.0.1 is still on Android 2.1.

I tried Rockplayer as well. I did manage to get it to play a good many of my divx/xvid's with sound, but it was choppy and quickly lost audio-sync. I think because I was forced to use the software player.
mpeg4/h.264 inside an "mp4" wrapper and less than 720px wide seem to work quite well. Best bet would be to convert your files to that format - I've used "Any Video Converter" with good success (I know - it's a pain)

thank you both how do you give thank you rep

TCPMP & flash bundle error

I've installed tcpmp & flAsh bundle to watch youtube video but I get this error when I try to play or save any video...
"Videoloader"
youtube swf args not found
Please Help
same error here.
I'm getting youtube vids fine, and i use TCPMP with the FLV 0.4.2 plugin (not sure if that's the same thing, but if it is, you can shoot me for my lack of knowledge)
I Use the one from Dutty, and it works good.
I uninstall and reinstall also the dutty but it gave me same error.
Is the program should be installed on the pda memory or on the sd card?
Are you viewing them on the website or YouTubePocket?
No, i use normal www.youtube.com

Uninstall any versions of tcpmp & flash bundle, then Install the versions below - tcpmp first, then flash bundle, then soft rest. That's it - full youtube vids will work now.
is it working now for you? I mean, at this time. Isn't possible a problem on youtube? Isn't it?
I've got always same error as above... It seems it cannot handle video with the core player

Wow, I thought this was impossible. I've had Flash installed once and it froze the hell out of PIE and Opera. Maybe I'll try these and see what happens.
I should probably also ask what browser you are using? Opera Mini isn't cable of Java and flash right?
**UPDATE** Gave it a shot in Pocket IE ad it says Media file type not supported. I got Tcpmp installed as well, leats I think its a current version.
I'm using IE on wm6.
Hi,
I experienced the same problem with the same configuration.
I think youtube's currently modifiying its way to display the video through
the desktop version of the website.
Unfortunately, the Htc device's owners (maybe the others mobile WM6 owners)
would not be able to display the youtube's video in the future.
I hope it will not the case !
I'm using WM6 with explorer on my xv6800. I removed all other TCPMP and Flash bundle versions and installed the ones that agrif78 provided earlier. Still sadly no dice. I still get the same errors whether I choose "play file" or "save file".
please bookmark this page
it updates whenever youtube changes its files
http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?t=148801
then just possibly, we may have fewer posts about youtube and tcpmp
Ok I installed the newest version of vTap This little app will allow you to search specific videos and play them, so if you happen to know the title of a video clip you want to watch, this works great. It also displays the web address of where the video is located and I have successfully played some from the youtube. However it will not allow you to play videos directly from the website.(or at least if it does I have not figured it out, maybe someone could shed some light on that tidbit of info?) In short, you can seek out specific videos by title and watch them, but you still can not watch them directly from your web browser on the youtube site. But at least maybe I can still watch some of my favorite funnies until someone smarter than me comes up with a better solution. I'm pretty new with the whole smartphone and pda scene so if I have left out anything then please feel free to correct me. I hope maybe this has helped out some folks.
sorry about that ekw. I just noticed the post. Thanks for the info!
flash bundle
i got it to work. the main thing is to remember to do a soft reset after installing player and bundle
Help Plz!
plz, i'm installing the flash video bundle on my WM6.1 and i have this error:
Failed to install. Could not install the program or the configuration because it does not have the necessary permissions system.

Finally A Working Android DIVX player

Here it is folks, on the market, yxflash, Check it out!
Its about time!
Believe i had this running on my 2g iPod touch. Currently doesn't playback videos smoothly, but hey, it's a start ^_^
didn't seem to work!
Worked for me, but some pauses in places and lag on the DivX moivie I tried. UI very rough. Pause/Play only in portrait mode. No menu options either while playing. Not worth paying for yet...more of a beta version.
Doooh....pauses after 2 mins because not registered! Still, UI needs work!
works fine with some glitches but 15$ for full version is insane
i'll stick with my encoding my videos
hi
how you get full version ? i havent tried this yet ... anyway besides this does anyone know when there will be an actual divx player available or is this the only one there is etc
Heeeeeeeeeelp,

Market->Search->xyflash->Install ?
does it support .srt files for subtitles?
It's still pretty poor! Very laggy and crashes occasionally.
Does anyone know of any decent video player for Hero
Can't wait for Coreplayer to be released for Android.
doesnt show up when I search for it in the market
I couldn't see it either when searching on Market, but it did come up when I searched for "divx"...
go figure...
Can anyone tell me wot the performance of this app is like on the HTC HERO? Can it play the standard 700MB movies you get off the net. 512x384 resolution etc or do you have to convert it to a lower res?
THANKS
It's ****ty. I tried episodes of 180mb, and it lags like hell.
Waiting for Coreplayer..
Lol
I thought something had finally come around that works when you resurrected this thread and I saw "finally a working divx...".
This player is aweful and you'd be best sticking to converting your videos.
full version doesn't work well too... still need improve before it can start charging. i done a crack for testing as request. it seem buggy & doesn't support all divx format. please do support paid version if you think the apps worth your $$.
On a similar theme, can anyone recommend a decent wmv player?
Or more info on iPhone/Zune/mp4 compatibility of the Hero?
Thanks

(barely)Working Flash lite on Nook Color Rooted

Ok, I hope i'm not regurgitating info, and if I am. Please kill this thread. But I was pretty sure i've been paying attention and no flash was working yet. I hijacked this info of of this thread : http://android.modaco.com/content/z...295/flashlite-working-with-stock-android-2-1/
so the credits not mine, BUT , I did install the .lib files, and then load the apk and guess what? Flash!! It doesn't seem to work in Dolphin, but it did load and work in the native browser. It's choppy, doesn't seem to look very good, but it's a start right?
Ok, so use root explorer to move .lib files to system/lib, then install the apk and voila. I've included a screen shot for proof of concept. Either way, it's in your hands now guys. I'm not even close to a dev, just a googler. I was thinking about how flashlite worked on other devices but not ours and figured there would maybe be dependencies we could move over, obviously someone else had already done the work for me on a seperate device.
EDIT: alright, this is weird. I probably should have done some more testing before I jumped the gun. (sorry, I was excited) Apparently I also installed another version of flash player prior to the instructions I posted. Nothing seems to work unless the lib files, and both versions of flash are installed. This can't be right, nor does it make sense, but i've tested both versions with the lib files and without each other and they don't work...so anyone else who cares to mess around installing different versions of flash with the lib files, maybe we can get better results. I've attached the other flash file I used below.
Pretty cool, I wonder what other browsers this works in. I'll have to give this a try, it'd be nice to watch some of the blog videos or such.

the guy in the other thread said it would work with xscope so i'm trying it now...i haven't found a site where I could get a video to load yet, but newgrounds did load a game (useless I know) ...
I just tried it in Opera Mobile, didn't seem to be working there (I went to the 'what's my flash version' site and nada)
It actually worked in dolphin. About as well as it did in the standard browser, choppy stuttery, newgrounds game, no sound. Seems like its trying to work with videos, but its just missing something.
This thread needs the attention of revs
Move to book devlopment maybe?
I actually started the thread in android development, and it was moved by a mod to general. I'm not sure i'd want to waste too much dev attention on something like this when I know they are close to finishing 2.2 and i've read gingerbread might be coming soon too with CM. Right now the only reason to use those apks on the original post is if you'd like to be able to see more ads on web pages than you were previously able to.

Nook Color can only play these video formats: 3GP, 3G2, MP4, M4V, and OGG. And supports MPEG-4 Simple Profile up to 854×480, H.263 up to 352×288, and H.264 Baseline profile up to 854×480. So if u want enjoy your video on Nook Color, u must convert video to these Nook Color compatible formats. I suggest u try XXXXXX , which can convert all format videos to Nook Color with the optimized format (MP4, H.264, 854×480).
U can try it, good luck!

Sorry all.... but dude every post you have on here is the same. I have to assume you work for the video converter you keep mentioning considering some of the posts you've replied to are stale and haven't bee touched since Dec.
Not sure what policy here is, so I'll leave it to the mod's. I'm new here myself but these types of posts are annoying. **EDIT** sorry, didn't' see the report button till after I replied. I've submitted for the mods.
I'm new to getting a NC and rooting it, but I'm interested in having flash on mine.
Have you guys experienced any problems with your NC after pushing this Flash on it?

Testing request of the aplication Tv Shows Stream

TV SHOWS STREAM (v3.2 or +) DOES FULLY SUPPORT MOTOROLA XOOM
THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELP, SPECIALLY TO "Xezuka" XDA MEMBER

Hi,
We have been working on "tv shows stream" android aplication and we whoul'd really like to know if it is working properly under Motorola Xoom using android 3.0 stock .
This device is not being sold yet at Europe...and we can not wait to know if the aplication will work fine
You can find the full thread of our aplication here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
The lite version is free and you can find it on market by searching "TV Shows Stream"
Thanks in advanced for the testing, we will really apreciate.
what does you app do? is it just a streaming site client?

I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.

[Q] Yet another n00b thread; new Nook owner, very lost. tl:dr it for me?

I know there's a lot of threads like these, but everything I could pull up seemed really out of date, or didn't have the information I need. The Wiki was good, but just gave a list of all the builds out there, and I can't sort out which one is currently best for what. I'm hoping someone can give me some quick answers:
tl:dr: Have a brand new Nook Color. Video will be 95% of what it's used for, little to no web browsing or games. Would like to use it to watch movies/TV shows streamed from my NAS or off the SD card. 5% of use will be viewing photos directly off my digital camera's SD cards (using converters in the cameras).
Tell me what OS/Software to use. Most files are .mkv format, usually 720p.
Currently, I've got Nookie Froyo installed on the SD card, and after a lot of frustration of how the heck to actually get files onto the SD card while also having the OS on there, I found that bootloader NookColorUMS thing, which even though it seems like more steps than should be needed, has allowed me to copy files to the SD card with the nook connected via USB cable.
I'd like to have the OS installed internally, so I'm free to swap SD cards around to quickly move data around. Also so I can pull the SD cards out of my cameras, stick them in the nook, and browse the photos.
Currently I'm using Rockplayer Lite, which plays the 480p files fine, but craps out trying to play 720p. It also is very annoying in that it it has no back button in the UI that I can figure out, so you have to use that tweek to force the status bar to always be on top, which is annoying. If there's any way to get the stock player to play the files, that would be best. I know it should be possible, my Samsung Moment plays all these files naively with the build-in movie player. But the Gallery player won't play them on this version of Froyo that I've got on here.
My questions boil down to:
-What OS should I use if I'm going to go through the trouble of figuring out how to install in on the internal memory?
-What's the best video player/codec pack?
-How do I browse/play files off my shared drives on my computers and NAS unit?
Thank you for any answers you can give, or any directions you can point me in!
Hope this helps.
-What OS should I use if I'm going to go through the trouble of figuring out how to install in on the internal memory?
CM7 - try phiremod nook
-What's the best video player/codec pack?
I've been using handbrake to convert all my video to MP4 using these settings.
-How do I browse/play files off my shared drives on my computers and NAS unit?
PlayOn works pretty good. Depending on the source video type i get some sync issues.
Easiest install method
#1 Install Clockwork Recovery Mod to internal memory from your bootable SD card.
#2 Drop your desired rom on the root of a non-bootable SD card
#3 Restart into Clockwork Recovery Mod by powering on with n button held down
#4 Backup!
#5 Flash zip from sdcard
Now as far as video... I think you might be disappointed. You are going to need to reencode each video for the nook to get best results.
I recommend Phiremod Nook 6.2
Thanks for the reply's everyone. I'll get CM7 installed tonight.
I'm REALLY hoping to not have to convert videos to be able to play them on the Nook. That was basically the reason I DIDN'T get an iPad, I don't want to have to convert videos into a specific format to play them. All of these files played fine on my Moment, I guess I made the mistake of assuming they'd work fine on any Android device.
Is there no way to just be able to browse a network, and view/play videos and pictures on them? It seems like it should be such a basic feature.
What other good video players are available besides Rockplayer? Or, how would I install additional codecs to get the build-in video player to work?
I think Vitalplayer Neon and Mobo player are pretty good for the nook.
TL;DR; ?? Reaally?!?
Not reading (repeatedly the same instructions over), being impatient and rushing headlong into things is the easiest way to muck things up. We're just lucky NCs are impossible to be permanently bricked.

CM7 latest nightly (n86 onwards) has the newest fix for audio and video, while being on the .32 kernel and have support for an Overclock kernel. Smoothest vid playback I've ever seen, without any mucking about in re-encoding in Handbrake, etc.

I use moboplayer. 720p vids are a touch-n-go, some are OK, some are not. But if the HW acceleration (of the .32 kernel) doesn't cut it, moboplayer has the soft-decoding option.

Cifsmanager.
Just install, no other tweaking necessary. All extra files (mentioned in older thread abt this) have been in the CM7 ROM since n30s or n40s (or n50s, I can't remember really ).
