I tried this with high profile mkv and it played, except a slight audio/video sync.
which i was not able to play in rock player. Another alternate is arcmedia, but it din't have any control like this one.

Works great...my new default video player.

Yep, that is how I discovered no accleration. I had a short period of time where a combination of TnT Lite, Clem kernel and Rockplayer resulted in high def wmv files playing smooth as butter with accleration. Now HW mode with those files causes the device to crash- stock player does it too.

Cool... looks like we can Load up Faverite Movies on the go .... and play them all
Have a nice one Bro.

The only thing I could throw at it that it wouldn't play were OGM files (deprecated by the Ogg folks some time back); everything else plays fantastically--even over my network.
New default player, bar none. At least until VLC is released.

Player is good as it plays AVC+AC3, however as it is not accelerated it stutters a lot. But as AVC is not playable at all in rockplayer, or Arcplayer this is an improvement. What does the pay version add?

If it adds acceleration- I would be interested.

Vitalplayer install probs
Odd. Install unsuccessful from both Market and Appbrain. Also with APKinstaller from apk on sd2. Running vegan 5.1. Thoughts?

reboot your system and try installing it, current version is 1.2.0 and its running fine for me.

It appears to be a market issue. I had the app installed but when I went to re-install it after a complete wipe for TNT lite 4.2.0 I was able to see the app but not install it. error code -18. none of the fixes seem to work so I am blaming the market as the issue.

Nope. Installation remains unsuccessful. Will try the Market fix and see it that does it.

Even after the market fix - using 3 different build.prop(s) I have been unable to get this app to re-install. I definitely think this is a google market issue not an end user issue.

Thanks.

Agreed. Tried several methods to install to no avail. Will try in the future as its not a priority right now. thanks

cool. gonna give this player a try. if it can really play 720p high profile vids, that will be EPIC. cuz right now on rockplayer, the video will play with the audio sounding fine but the video is super laggy. still wanna be able to play video files without having to convert first. that is my dream.

Hey everyone
Just wanted to post a reference link to my Mizuu Movies application thread, which is found under the Android Apps / Games section: Mizuu Movies - XDA thread
The application has been developed for Honeycomb on the Acer Iconia A500, and should support all Honeycomb tablets. There's a free and a paid version of the application - would really appreciate it if you'd try it out!
FREE VERSION • PAID VERSION​
Thanks a lot!

Works great for me running 3.2... Its an awesome application works as intended.

says it only supports mp4 and 3gp, I have all avi

stevejau said:

Click to expand...

Yes, since Android doesn't support .avi files natively, I have not yet made it possible to use those files. But when I do, they will only be playable if you're using a custom video player as your default player.

This looks great! I've been waiting for an app like this, until now I've just been using a file manager app to pull up my movies. I definitely prefer this XBMC-like interface. I'll give the app a whirl when I get off work.
One request though, which would keep my from purchasing. I'd prefer the option to play the videos through an external video player. I know a lot of users already have their preference of video player (Rock player, mobo player, etc), but this could be a great interface to that. Most of my videos are divx or not natively supported by honeycomb, so this app wouldn't work for me as is. This would also let you focus more on the interface/theming and less on the codec support.
Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm sure this app will only improve, looking through your other thread in the developers forum it looks like you're very quick on the updates. I'll reply with more specific criticisms after I try it tonight.

Hey, thanks for your comments!
The app already uses your default video player, so if you've set a third party player as your default player, that's what it'll use

Great work!
First let me say thanks for this beautifull work, we need these kind of applications.
Well, I have tried the free version in the market, it shows the screen with the boton to scan, as soon as I click it, the application dieds
If you need something from me to reproduce the error, please let me know, I will gladly cooperate in this project

I've just uploaded a fix - awfully sorry about that!
Please refer to v. 1.3.1

I've downloaded 1.3.0, the full version. I start it up and click "lets roll!"... then seemingly nothing happens for 10 seconds, then it says no movies found. I definitely have movies in my /Movies/ folder, playable by rock player. Im on a 3g Xoom 3.1 connected to Verizon 3g.

Hey!
First of all - please update to v.1.3.1
Secondly, is it possible that none of your files are in one of these formats?
".3gp", ".3gpp", ".mp4", ".ts", ".webm"
These are the formats that are supported by Android by default - if you want more formats, you'll have to enable it in the application settings, which isn't available untill you've completed the initial search.
If you can, please try renaming one of your 100+ MB files to one of the above mentioned extensions temporarily. Then search with Mizuu Movies, enter the Settings and check "Include non-supported file types". Once that's done, you can change the extension back to whatever it was before and do an update in Mizuu Movies

Fixed!

Doesn't work for on ics though (presumably due to lack of Flash support - has this been reinstated in JB?) - media support installation says "file corrupted". But I seem to have achieved the same functionality with the TVCatchUp app (via Play) for live streaming (which seems to work fine).

well all i can say its a great phone for the price only apps not working is skygo but then again its not just this phone its not working on loads of phones ..only other down fall is you cant put apps on the sd card but you can if you root it but 8 gig is a lot of space for apps so no big deal but like need for speed is like 1.84 gig so you can soon take up the space but how many games do you need to play at time i do think 8 gig is ok but i do think it was a mistake not to allow transfer to sd card ..i have a 32 gig card so plenty of room for films pics music and i have 100 games on stand by on it for when i need to install ...what i will say is this phone is fast no lag internet is way fast did a test with a friend with iphone 5 and also luma 800 and yes the razr i 1 every time lumia 800 was not far behind and yes iphone 5 was last every time on the same net work the iphone was at least 3 to 4 sec behind loading pages with the lumia about 1 sec if that ..camera not great in low light but great outside has played all games so far again with no lag battery life great i can go a hole day with using it a lot ..thats with great setting like it turns of wifi when you leave home and when i get back it knows im home and turns on wifi so save on battery life :laugh:

[HOWTO] Chromecast Mirroring (screen mirroring)

Hello everyone,
So I got my Google Chromecast today and after a bit of messing around I found this cool neat feature that allows you to mirror your entire display to the chromecast device.
This is how you do it.
1) In Google chrome browser on your computer click the Google cast extension and then click the little arrow in the extension and select "cast entire screen (experimental) I've attached a screenshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) after completing step one select your chromecast device and walla you see your screen on your TV
This seems to be an experimental feature so let me know how it works for you, so far I've tested it on my Linux Mint 15 laptop and it works nicely there is a minor delay but at least its something

Nice Find!!
It would be great if the audio also worked it streams xbmc great but not audio

FYI: Need Chrome Beta for this to show.

This is really cool, nice find.
I hope audio works through this in the future!

Make video please

Chrome beta allows you to shoot to your tv? I am looking for the option but dont see it !

Do you see the arrow in the upper right corner when you press the chromecast button in chrome?

lol my TV IS my computer monitor actually. I just use the Chromecast for when I dont want to start up my pc ,,,but I will check shortly

You can cast just audio from that menu too.

How good is the screen mirroring? If it works well with no lag, I may use this to cast some PC games to the TV!

Have yet to try a game but there is definitely lag, (~ a half a second?) just scrolling the web page but audio is good, video is good, and the audio/video sync seems to be fine.
Right now I'm casting Google Play Music from my average, 1 year old, Toshiba laptop, to my cheap-ass, Insignia TV, listening to Taj Mahal tear-up the guitar.

oh, fair enough.
i don't think it's any laggier than the tab projection so you should look up videos of that on youtube for an idea.

There is a half a sec up to 2 sec lag so I don't think it's suitable for gaming unless someone finds a way to lower the lag somehow.
Also I use the stable version of chrome on Linux and it works so I don't know maybe for windows the beta version of chrome is needed.
The biggest down side for me is that audio is not working in the desktop cast mode

it doesnt even work for me.the CC doesnt respond to me clicking the cast entire screen (im on chrome stable)

Well when I use Netflix off my phone there is a real slight delay and it takes a few seconds after that for the proper resolution to kick in.. So if your game is lag dependant like a shooter etc.. I would be hesitant

Nexus 6 background video playback

Buddy of mine has stock uprooted Nexus 6 and all his videos (including YouTube) keep playing with screen off. How is this even possible ? He doesn't even have music key with YouTube and no background playback settings, other vids on websites etc also play with screen off for him

Does he have a Google Music subscription? I do and that comes with it. Pretty handy at times.

yea it is, love that feature! but yea, you havs to subscribe to google play music, that feature is a bonus part of it

Like I said, he doesn't have any subscriptions and she doesn't even have those additional settings in YouTube app. ALL videos in ALL apps play with screen off for him

Could be an xposed module. Namely "YouTube Background Playback". But it's not currently working, in need of an update.

There's no setting in youtube. It's not designed to play in the background. The fact it does is probably due to some app or something.
A reset will fix it but all data will be lost. Otherwise, remove apps 1 at a time until you find the culprit.

theres not a single issue posted anywhere about youtube playing in ths background. as far as i know, having the google play service, either free or paid, is the only way to get it to play in the background.

I'm sorry, if this sounds rude, but I don't think you've been reading the thread properly and you keep repeating the same irrelevant thing.
The OP is not asking HOW to get all videos to keep playing in the background as a request.. The OP is asking for help BECAUSE all videos ARE playing in the background, when they shouldn't be.

Well I am not really asking for help. Its my buddies phone and he is totally fine with this glitch. I just wanted to know how it's all possible. I do have Music Key and with that subscription Play Music settings look a bit different and YouTube App settings as well have extra options, his phone doesn't have any of that.....and I repeat, its not even rooted, its been working like this for him since he purchased it new

It's a glitch.
The only way to get YouTube to do that is xposed.
I guess I owe @simms22 an apology. Seems it's me not reading properly.

It is a glitch, but its just very weird

hey, does your buddy get a notification in the status bar when he has a video playing in the background?

and i bet he can listen to any band or any song using google play music, thats what happens when you either use a free subscription or a paid subscription for google play music.

No, he can only do screen off with whatever app in foreground, background playback doesn't work

Funny my YouTube background playback recently stopped working and I do have the subscription.
