quicktime movie player?

Hi all,
is there an app that can play quicktime movies?
Even better is there a way of being able to play the movies directly from the gmail app so if someone send me a movie from an iphone I can play it straight away??
Cheers
bryan
Dunno about the email part, but look for Rockplayer to play quicktime movies/clips.

Does the Nexus 7 play 720p or 1080p videos flawlessly?

Does the device play .mkv videos smoothly?
I'm thinking of getting the device for video playback, just want something which can play my collection of videos.

1080p?No problem
hell yes i watched avengers full 1080... so smooth... these days I don't even use laptop for videos any more. Anything I want to watch I put it on my nexus
Nice!
All the more reason to get it!
MX Player with h/w acceleration plays 1080p videos flawlessly. Just finished Cloud Atlas 1080p and it was incredible.
I use bsplayer for playback. It's excellent

AW: Does the Nexus 7 play 720p or 1080p videos flawlessly?
I have no problem with 1080p video playback.It's very smooth.

Plays my BD rips in MKV just fine, but I downsize them for the N7 because there's no appreciable difference in quality and a huge difference in file size.
I usually will use mp4 instead of mkv so my thumb drive will work in my Xbox360 as well. I haven't had any issues with it running from a thumb drive in 1080p

You can play 1080p but the N7's resolution only goes up to 720p
I dunno about mkv, but I've played 1080 mp4 with no issues. Used MX Player.
As long as you use the ffmpeg plugin for your video player... diceplayer, Mxplayer, the archos player... the nexus 7 will play all videos, even 1080p, with HWA using very little CPU. Usually staying in the LP core.

No problem with 1080 using H/W decoding but I loose audio sync with S/W decoding.
If its encoded in Hi10 then no, it will play in software mode and drop frames. This isn't the devices fault, the available media players and codecs just don't support it yet. otherwise it runs other encoded 720/1080p just fine and smoothly.
Seems I am only facing slow problem while playing such HD movies..its not flawless for me..I am using MX player..any suggestions ?

I never bother with 1080p since the screen only displays up to 720p. I change all my mkv files into mp4 and play them inthe stock video player without issue though. Play perfectly smooth. Watch at least 2-3 movies a week. If i'm lazy though i have MXplayer installed for when i don't want to change it into an mp4 format. Sometimes need to use software decoding to play certain files well. But it always plays them no matter what without a problem!

Did you set the hardware decoder to HW+? I because with only HW you can have slow playback.
i would also like to state.
This is a 720p screen, and i have no issues playing 720p video. The screen will not display 1080p resolution, so 1080p video is worthless on the device.
They may work but they are down-scaled versions of 1080p, to 720p.
There is no purpose for 1080p video on this device. Also, the screen is too small to really notice the clarity of a 1080p resolution anyways at 7". 720p looks and plays wonderfully on this device!! 1080p video >.> if you have a codec, it will play at 720p. Dont waste yo space!!!

Casting YouTube Live streams - NOK

Apparently, it's not possible to natively cast YouTube LIVE streams via Chromecast to your TV. Are you serious Google ?! C'mon...
Lolla?
Yeah YouTube live streams are weird. You cant stream them on the Xbox either. Only mobile and straight up pc.

Moto X won't play .moved video

She got a video of our granddaughter from our son's iPhone but it wouldn't play. I converted it to mp4 on my PC, emailed it back but that wouldn't play either. YouTube videos play as well as videos recorded on her previous Android phone. Is there a trick to playing iPhone videos?

I can't guarantee that it will work, but I recommend trying MX Player (or one of the VLC player builds, but none seem to be under development) from the Play Store. I think it supports many more formats that the stock video player, and I find it better in other ways as well.
