Hi,
I found a flv player (tested) and maybe divx (haven't tested yet)
You can get it from here : http://www.mobilesoft.kr/files/yxflash.apk
Have fun with it
It has ploblem with auto-rotate. I recommend to turn the auto-rotate off when using it.
To put the video in landscape just slide your finger on the screen
Nice, I'll have to check this out....
Lets hope it works as advertised....
EDIT: Plays WMV files that my previous Video Player would not. Excellent.
Hmmm, interesting. It forces closes as soon as I try it. Literally as soon as I click on the app to start it.
Did the same thing to me, just hit wait. It'll get through it.
Pretty buggy app though. But it worked
it works only on cupcake

Why you gotta bust chops? lol
tried it with different worked.
Did not work for AVI, mp4 video is very choppy but audio is fine, did not test other types
I ve tried it with :
-flv worked very well from dailymotion
- avi only 1 frame then it quit...
- mp4 worked better than meridian with files with resolution higher than 480x320 but very laggy
They have to worked on it. But it looks promising.
Non embedded codecs (audio or video) will be stuttering messes owith Android because they have to go through Java to work. It beats the cpu to death and is the reason Coreplayer have bailed form trying to port their app to Android- at least until better hardware access is provided.
People are wasting their time trying to make these apps.
i just convert some videos files from .avi to .mp4 using handbrake basic settings. When i transfer my files to my sdcard it plays via gallery but it has no picture? just sound.. i dont understand it
Windows mobile can´t read out the mp4 files ! There always is sound only.
Try to convert to 3gp
This is a nice 3gp converter:

Take any 3gp converter that runs on your System and then convert your vids to 3gp.... Then you can watch them on any Windows mobile
Dont worry, if your PC doesn´t show the Picture, your Phone will...
Not playing video means you've set some setting wrong.
Don't convert to .3gp, .mp4 works perfectly fine on Nexus One. The HTC Touch HD Video Converter works quite fine for me even though it's made for a WinMo device. It's a Windows program.
hello I just bought captivate three days ago and yet haven't figure out lots of it yet.
I love this device, but only problem that I got now is that it plays regular .mkv video files without converting it but I can't skip or fastforward it. I tried to dl some other video programs, but that wasn't helpful.
and you know you can't just finish the 3 hours of movie at once.
If someone knows how to fix this plz tell me
thx
let me throw an mkv on my phone and test it!
I played it through the stock player, and all I did was tap the screen and I was able to move the seekbar. My guess is that you have a broken MKV file.
I tried 3 different movies.
Pirates.of.the.Caribbean.3.2007.Bluray.x264.720p.AC3-WAF 4.5gb
King.Kong.2005.720p.HDDVD.x264-BKL 8gb
You might want to try RockPlayer but you have to side load it to use the ARMV7 version.
http://www.anplayer.com/index_en.html
It could be the format of the movie. I've got some ctrlHD movies that are working.
yea i tried rock player, but it didn't work
ty though

If you play your MKVs on your computer using vlc, can you seek? And most likely this is going to be moved to the general or app thread once a mod sees it.
but isn't it kind a weird? I can skip and fastfoward w.e i want to do with on my comp, but not on galaxy when it plays flawless

VLC will only temporarly repair broken movies. I think it prompts you when it does.
I have my Blu-Ray backup of avatar on my device and it seek works.
I had to split my movies into 4gb chunks bc of FAT limitations. Are you running a different file system? How did you get an 8gb file on your phone?

Oh I didn't know I have to split, and yea it didn't work when I tried to put them on with samsung kies. so I just put them with regular method just by putting directly into the folder. I will try to split the movie and try again maybe that was why it won't work properly. what kind of program do you use to split the blu ray movie though? mine takes forever to do that
alright I just split my videos with mkvmerge with less than 3 gb which works fine on my computer and run with vlc before I put on my phone. Somehow, movie doesn't even play at all.

I didn't even think about it being too large. What filesystem are you running? FAT32 can not handle a file larger than 4gb. If you are streaming from your PC it would cause seek issues.
1) wrong place
2) Format/container/encoding/size
just because it's an MKV does not mean with will work the same as there may be any number of differences in the stack of details that make up the file.
(! Personally, and forum wise, I say rip your own legally owned copies !)
Let me ask a dumb question, do you have the screen locked? Pressing the power button when playing video locks the screen.
I may be under-thinking it but I fear people are over-thinking it.

HAHAH No that's not the case here.
I just won't be able to seek the movie if I put mkv files in it
I got my device today and loving it .. used mostly for youtube/play music and was able to cast chrome tab easily and also fullscreen HTML5 videos
However I got this trick from one of the site .. navigate from chrome browser to say D:\ drive. type this and enter
file:///D:/
you will see you the list of files.. by clicking on them, I was able to play avi and mkv files and cast the same in fullscreen.. only one of my mkv file failed to play (may be issue with codec)..i think the prereq is to install VLC player (who doesn't :laugh: )
can't stop loving my chromecast .. only issue is 720p setting in chrome browser is kinda lagging so switched to 480p , thats ok for now

welcome to the known info party lol jk. im glad you realized how to do it on your own though I and many others have had issued with avi. will try your vlc workaround later
any idea how to get avi working? mkv and mp4 work for me, but not avi.
Is this really a way to get AVI files working? I'll have to try it if it really works.

I started using wondershare ultimate video converter (you know where to download), I converted all my avi files to mp4 and now i dont have that limitation of playing any type of files.

I would do that but I have A LOT of files and it would just take way to long to convert them all also I would be converting then deleting the originals. How long does it take to convert the videos?
I use Ctrl & O to get the chrome file browser up. I can't play *.avi files (it tries to copy them to d/load folder instead) is there a workaround? besides converting them all to a different format, is there a reason why Google/Chrome don't natively play *.avi? It's not like I can't play the files using VLC for example.
If you click the down arrow in the upper right hand corner on the chrome extension, there is an option to cast the entire screen instead of just the tab.
@sungod88
It takes about 3-5 min for a 700mb file, by the time you watch 1 movie you should have atleast 15 - 20 movies converted to mp4, its a lot easier than what it seems.

doing this just gives me black screen on tv.
Any idea why I can't play avi files in browser? I installed both DivX Plus Web Player, and VLC Web Plugin. I had to disable Quicktime plugin to get MPG, and at this point I seem to have everything (mpg, mp4, mkv, ...) but avi. I see the the avi file extension is listed under the MIME type for VLC plugin, bug chrome still just downloads it. My chromecast gets here today or tomorrow, any ideas about how to get chrome to just play the file?
Also, along the same line of thinking. How can I identify which plugin is playing a given file?
Drag and drop works just fine too..
nice to know you can cast local files. Anyone tried casting video from ubuntu?
No audio in chrome when playing local files
I know that i am not the first person to experience this but i have not been able to find a solution. When playing an MKV file i have no way in getting any audio out of it at all. Not from my laptop and not from my chrome cast. Nothing at all I have a little slash through the audio speaker that wont go away!

If the audio is DTS or AC3 it won't play through Chrome. I believe AAC and MP3 will play. To avoid re-encoding your videos I would recommend installing plex and using their Web view to play the videos, it will transcode the video/audio on the fly and cast that way

Have you checked the mkv files for Compressed Headers? I had this problem, with trying to play mkv files in my theater+. I used a tool called mkvmerge to remove the compressed headers. That fixed my issue.
Plex works for .avi and mkv fils.

PLEX is not working. If you did get it to work, please go into more detail in how you pulled it off. Simply installing the software does nothing and it is so unstable that trying to do anything with the software causes it to lock up.
How can I change audio source and choose subtitles, when playing an MKV file in chrome browser?
I've tried to search for a plugin or extension, but couldn't find one.

Hello people.
Im trying to transfer FLAC files to the phone but it doesn't let me, does the phone not support flac?
What does it support that got the same audio quality as flac?
I realy enjoy flac over mp3 320kbps, i have very high quality earphones and speakers so i hear the difference.
Thanks ahead!
Are you unable to transfer or unable to play flac files? Can't you download Flac audio players from the Google play or apps that support such format?

Well it seems like Nexus 6 doesn't support FLAC or lossless files at all.
Like the hardware doesn't come with special coding for lossless support.
Also i couldn't find any player that got built in encoding for flac.
There is PlayerPro and PowerAmp, while they do support flac, but only if the phone supports it from hardware, they dont have built in encoding as they will not find installed flac files. What do i do? anyone help me please :/

Oh well i found the problem, well i was sure i transfered .flac file, beacause i downloaded full flac album but this specific file was m3u which is not supported and was able to transfer, i still get this weird problem when trying to transfer .flac files.
i used bittorrent sync, and transfered this way, it works now.
The link you guys gave me to fix the weird flac transfering problem via cable is.. well a link to halloween costumes? Lol
