is there any media player that will rotate playback with the device?
reason being, I just got a case for my NC that has a little stand to keep it upright in landscape mode, but its upside down!
I've tried vitalplayer, mobo player, rockplayer and none of them will rotate.
it's annoying as heck, but the player is not the only thing that encounters that problem. it happens with games as well. it's too bad that feature was not integrated with cm7. seems like a no brainer. I just flipped my nook, so it opens like a lefthanded device. annoying, but works.
so, its a systematic thing?
I hope this gets fixed at some point
Havent tried others but the stock player rotates and so does moboplayer if you turn it on.
Get the leaked music player. Works for me.
ya the stock one works, and also the "honeycomb" one rotates too.
Moboplayer flips in any direction for me, so you probably just need to go into your settings and turn some stuff on. As far as games go, that's really up to the game, sorry =\.
But all of the video players you have listed, do flip for landscape on either side.

Hey, all of a sudden I can't play videos in full screen(landscape mode with windows media player. I don't know why this is happening. The only thing I have done to my tilt recently is install the spb mobile shell. Everytime I select full screen the video remains the same size and also has the wrong orientation remaining in portrait mode. I have also encountered another problem when I watch streaming videos from my computer through orb. The videos would not be in full screen. But I just assumed that was because the stream from orb doesn't support it. But as I stated my main problem is that none of my videos play in full screen or landscape mode.
Try use TCMP or Coreplayer. I gave my less trouble. WMP is troublemaker and user not friendly...
I really like Core Player for videos. The videos are very sharp, and it's a clean, easy format to use. No problem watching in full screen.
I only use WMP for audio.
KaiserTweak has a fix for this under the "User Interface" section (second to last tweak in this section).
IMO, i think you should migrate from WMP to TCPMP (or core player I suppose, though i don't know much about it.)
TCPMP is my favourite, as it can play pretty much anything you throw at it, there's a mass of options to tweak to get the video and audio just right for you, if you're interested, check this thread
YouTube works fine in Opera and the Streaming Manager app but in Coreplayer Mobile it just constantly brings up the loading symbol when selecting a video.
Anyone else have this or know a fix? I am on Jacks 1.3 Lite ROM with the YouTube registry fix installed.
That's strange. Youtube works for me in Coreplayer. I am also using Jack's Lite Rom 1.03. I did not try if it works in Opera though.
You got to activate networkaccess in corplayersettings for youtube

It is ticked already
I can't get Youtube to work in Streaming Media
Have you tried ticking flv box in the file extensions/
I got an email from CorePlayer makers saying there is a bug and they are fixing it in the next release
I have come across a problem with Coreplayer and its YouTube, so I have decided to use this thread instead of starting my own using the same title.
Coreplayer plays YouTube movies. No problem with that, even more it plays them in excelent quality (setting h264 medium quality, flv high bandwidth). But for some reason it cannot stop them. When the video is over the loading sign (rotating circle) appears and the screen freezes. After a couple of seconds I hear audio as if the video started to play all over again, but the screen is still frozen on that last frame. When I press any button the audio stops as well and that is that. There is no other solution than removing the battery, which annoys me greatly.
Does any of you have the same problem and have you been able to solve it? Coreplayer plays youtube with the highest quality by farand would really like to see it work properly.
Anybody else with this wierd Youtube problem?
Except that it freezes my phone like, every 5 minutes, it works fine i guess.
Too bad I have to reset my phone every time, because if i wouldnt had to, it would be a good piece of software.
Using Coreplayer 1.3 btw.
Well I am pretty disapointed as well. The video playback of original divx files is jerky and if I have to encode I might as well encode to a file media panel recognises. And now the youtube thing. There are still podcasts, I hope I will not come across a problem there.
huh?
i dont get it... my coreplayer plays youtube great, and divx great... i did have the youtube option dissapear mysteriously, but i re-enabled it in the network setting and its worked great ever since...
ive watched 2 movies in divx - one was a fast paced action movie and it played absolutely perfectly the whole time. maybe you need to have certain settings ticked, or maybe the fact that ive used the various tweaks in this forum to speed up my sd card, and to optimize my cache settings and such is helping...
more info may help resolve this...unfortunately i dont know much technical jargon.. i fiddle until things work.
I got my core working again with an update, but the standalone youtube player and panel is MUCH easier and better to use.
Hi, i work with an HTC Touch Pro 2 and on it with the newest CorePlayer. But i can not watch any Youtube Videos. I can search, and browse the different categories. But when i want to start a video the player gets back to the starting screen.
The "normal" video playback works fine.
Why? Anybody else with this problem?
PS: I have activated the network settings.
Youtube has made a change to how their protocol works. CoreCodec knows about the isue and they said they have alreay fixed it on an internal build. Sadly we will probably have to wait a very long time for the fix to be released.
here, some videos work, some others not, like the 70% of them, just try to open but stop downloading without image
Anybody else getting this problem again?Youtube videos stopped playing for me since tuesday,i'm running coreplayer 1.3.6 windows mobile.
Yes same her, my CorePlayer 1.3.6 stopped playing Youtube end of July.
Is there any update out there?
Yep, doesn't work...lame
I just don't get it.
It plays videos but I cannot get it to interact period.
Most videos I have encountered on the internet will pause when clicked.
I cant' 'tap' on the video to pause it and I cannot interact with the seek or buttons on the player either.
Simply put, the 'container' with the flash player in it never takes the focus.
I can tap the screen twice to get the phone to center on it, but that's it.
What am I doing wrong here?
Is it meant to be non-interactive on phones?
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. ?
I am trying to stream my anime using DLNA BubbleUPNP. My computer is running PS3 Media Server because its been a reliable DLNA server for me for quite some time on many different platforms. It is hosting over a terabyte of anime.
I am having issues with divx/xvid playback strangely. All my videos that require hardware acceleration (1080p h264s) work fine but older encodes using divx/xvid in an AVI/MKV container do not work. I've tried MX Video, dice player, rock player, and bs player. Only BS Player would seem to actually render the videos at all but it strangely cuts to the middle of the video.
I watch tons of anime so pretty much my older anime episodes do not work but newer ones do. I am running the latest CM9 nightly (3/29). Well any insights would be helpful. I would think any recent player would play my old anime without a problem but it just freezes and crashes. Sometimes it would play audio before it does that.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forums and I haven't had much luck finding an answer while searching.
Problem solved.
I am not entirely sure what I did but I did a few changes to the ps3 media server client and fixed everything. It may have been related to me changing the number of transcoding cores to 4 instead of 8. It somehow thought I had 8 cores. I also added avi to the streaming extensions of the Android.conf in rendered and that may have done something. (I actually dont know what that did but I just wanted to try)
So it seems I am able to use Dice Player, BS Player, and MX Video to watch my videos now. BS Player seems to be the most reliable but all the players seem very fickle. Dice player likes to try HW acceleration on everything then crashes. BS Player knows when to switch between SW and HW so it seems to be the most compatible. I really don't like BS Player because I can't seem scroll through the video which is pretty bad. I've also noticed my video stops for no reason after a while which is frustrating too.
I would like to know if anyone has a better setup with a particular combination that works for them best.
I'm also using Bubble pnp, but with TVersity and also Samsung's All Share. Both seam to work, though All share adds metadata to all your media files for thumbnail generation. So if you have a large library, it takes a while to generate the extra files the first time you start the program. but having thumbnail previews is really nice.
I've also been using Dice player, but on a different tablet without any issues on most formats. I'll try it out on my TP and see if I can get it to work.
One thing I've done, which is probably something you might wanna consider at some point if you plan on continuing to stream, is doing a permanent transcode of your video files. Handbrake is a free tool that allows you to transcode almost anything into almost anything else, and it has an Android setting. I really like how that works, personally. I have all of my video files (TV series, anime, movies, etc.) all transcoded into M4V files, and they all play gorgeously on everything - my PS3, my ATV2G, my tablet, my phone. Beats the crap out of the AVI files, and they're slightly smaller, too. H264 is the way to go, and this changes everything to work great for that. You can even soft-code and hard-code subs into the shows if you want.
As I said, my favourite part of all this is the files are universally accepted on everything. My TP, my Android phone (running CM7), my PS3, my ATV2G, my dad's iPhone, everything.
Hah, I am firmly against re-encoding all my anime because I have a lot and it just bothers me when I change things from its original format.
I wish these DLNA browsers software like skifta and bubbleupnp were more customizeable in their UI. They all function perfectly fine but sometimes I want to try some different layout once in a while. I can see thumbnails fine for everything but I think it would be better if there were more modern 3d effects to sort of flip through all my anime playing small clips. Overall, I really have no complaints of my set up and have just minor stability issues with certain anime encodings.
Using ES File Explorer and MX Player, I can stream XviD flawlessly with no transcoding of any kind. 720p MKV mostly the same. 1080p does naturally buffer quite a bit due to the high bit rate.
My PS3 media server method has stopped working for whatever reason . It seems anything with mencoder avi files just crashes any chance for playback for some reason.
I've looked into SMB file sharing via ES File Explorer + MX Video player but for some reason everything refuses to even run. I can browse my windows shares fine but I can't play anything. It actually worked at one point but I am not sure what changed. Streaming my anime seems so fickle.
I've tried using TVersity + BubblePNP and everything also worked flawlessly at one point. Then TVersity refuses to even load itself and crashes right away. This is getting a little sad.
I've tried Windows Media Center and shared my videos but it magically refuses to show all my folders containing only mkv and ogm files. These are apparently unsupported formats so they won't even show up in my bubbleupnp browser. Somehow everything that did show up worked perfectly.
I've tried and gotten a lot of different ways to work...but somehow it magically just stops working. I am hoping someone has like some magic bullet solution to all of this. As of now I can only play stuff that are hardware accelerated. Maybe I shouldn't be so stubborn about re-encoding all my anime but I really like it the way it is now lol.
Has anyone tried Serviio? I'm getting ready to upgrade my home file server and was searching for solutions when this popped up.
It seems to support transcoding and the like but would be interested in informed opinions if any are available.

So I reinstalled TVersity a few times and now it mysteriously works like a charm. I really like it now. Seems to reliably play all my stuff fine. The really cool part is I can host my files online and access it while away from home as long as my computer is on.
I also tried Serviio. It seems to really surprisingly well also. Its a little bit user unfriendly without a default GUI. I just used the Serviidroid app to configure the Serviio server so its fine now. I think its actually pretty good. I guess it lacks the polish of more mainstream programs but it seems to do the job just fine. I'll have to play around more to see if it chokes on anything.
For now I hope TVersity is my last stop because it seems to work pretty well when it works.
