what format for movie player?

Hi
Just got my nexus 7 today and trying to drag and drop some xvid movies on to it but they won't Play! Does anyone know what format the movies have to be before I can drag and drop files from my PC on to the nexus?
Cheers

Just download MX Player or something similar and it should work.

They have to be .mp4

Thanks chaps - MX player works well but couldn't get mono player to work!

VPlayer and VLC Player work great for all types of media

TV out, Miracast or anything like it?

It's driving me nuts. The only thing that stops the the Nexus 7 being nothing more than a toy or glorified ebook for me is the fact I cannot find any form of big screen streaming for it. My 2 year old phone has MHL abilities which is okay but someone must know if there are any plans for the Nexus 7? It seems to be ridiculous to have such a powerful device and not be able to use it on a bigger screen.
I've searched back 10 pages on this subject and found nothing so welcome any fresh perspectives on it.

BubbleUPnP and make a DLNA server, I use it to connect to my TV and Xbox.

+1 to BubbleUPnP...
Though screen mirroring is not possible in BubbleUPnP, you can throw any media from it to your TV or other
DLNA enabled devices...
Luckily, my TV has WiFi dongle and Wi-Fi direct feature...
so, once my device is connected to the TV via WiFi-direct, launch BubbleUPnP and select the TV as renderer, I can
throw any media to the TV...
I'm also hoping and wishing for the screen mirroring...

Hi I will look at BubbleUPnP, I've been using Skifta for the time being which does DNLA quite well.
I use my PS3 as a receiver but it doesn't support many file formats.
It's a real shame the Nexus doesn't at least support MHL.

Except mkv files, right?

With a raspberry pi and tassadar's android transporter rom mirroring is possible with reasonable response times

Fling with the Chromecast

My Chromecast will be arriving in the mail the 28th and I cannot wait to play with the sucker. Now my question is this. Will I be able to run Fling on my Chromecast without rooting it or does it need to be rooted? Does this apply with AirCast as well?

Nope, it will work fine without root. Just don't expect miracles with Fling. It can run mp4 videos fine but MKV's and AVI's are a mess. The transcoder used is complete crap and unless you are running a beast PC and don't want 1080p video you will be ok, otherwise those file types are unplayable as is. MP4 streaming works because it doesn't need to be transcoded. It's just being played natively on the Chromecast.

Stream local unsupport content yes. Mp4 files will work fine. So will Mp3's. Just not AVI's. I think AVI's are causing the most problems actually. MKV's can get playback but it's so laggy and quality of picture is very low. AVI's just seem like they wont play. Still this device has been out for about a month now. You can't expect hacked features like this to be complete. If you buy a Chromecast now you are buying it for what it will do not what it can do.

I'm able to play avi just fine.
mpg is also good.
mkv does have problems that they're still working through.
The latest update earlier today fixed the discovery issue I was having. Now I've finally been able to play with fling and chromecast. Very satisfied and excited with how it's coming along.

Try putting Fling in VLC directory on your PC.

Video_TS folders on Chromecast

The subject is my question. Is there anyway to play a video_ts folder on chromecast? I have a bunch of video_ts folders from some dvds I have that are currently on my media server. I'd like to play them onto the chromecast. Any chance of this? I am I going to have to rip them all to another format and play through plex (like I'm doing with many other movies right now)

Chromecast can only play H.264 encoded videos (mp4).

You would need to covert your DVD's to a mp4 video file.

Two options:
You need to encode your videos to a CC compatible format with the likes of Handbrake. Or install a server like Plex/Bubble onto a machine that is transcode on the fly capable. Being that you're doing Video_TS your server will need quite the beefy processor afaik. Either way though, I recommend setting up a media server (Plex fan here).

Could you describe how you got your VIDEO_TS folders visible?

I agree with this...I can't see the folders at all...I have taken to converting them all to mp4 files for now, but if I could play the native VIDEO_TS folder files that would be best.

Plex library browsed in BubbleUPnP, drilled down through the folder until I've got to the video files
