Anyone find or suggest a video player that supports AVI (Divx) files for the Nook Color?
Act 1 video player i think
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
No, Act 1 player does not playdivx. Rock player plays videos rather superbly. I watched a 720p video with only occasional lags.
there is another media player called Arcmedia that can handle xvid/avi videos. I used it to watch a few episodes of an SDrip of Avatar the last airbender, no noticeable lag.
I haven't tried on my nook, but on my evo hands down the best (smoothest playback) divx player I've seen is yxplayer. If you want to "try" it before you buy it search around filestube.

Alternatively, there's a 2 hour refund window on the app market...so how about we not condone piracy for any reason at all, shall we?
Isn't it only 15 minutes?

My bad, you're correct. But that should still be plenty of time to see if it works.

Actually.... I personally couldn't verify within 15 minutes for most launchers, and other various programs. I get why google implemented this policy but for some apps I need at least an hour. As for the yxplayer 15 min may be enough but be sure before you buy you have however many files you want to test, on the sdcard, READY to go, 15 min goes a lot quicker than you think.
I can confirm Arcmedia works with normal xvid avis with no lag whatsoever. However, it seems to be a microsecond out of sync. Guess that's to be expected.

tried a reset
After reading a few other forum posts I even tried a full factory reset still nothing appears.
Did you get the £15 credit & the book or none of the extras?
You're on the "Personal Videos" tab, it wont show up there as it is not a file on your device. Click films at the top and you will see it, then you can click in the bottom right hand corner to make available offline.
pics
I got the £15 credit but nothing else this is a screen from the other films screen there is nothing in there either :s
I would see if you have the software update available for jellybean and also for the play store. I had to go into the play store to see mine. Go into the movies part of the play store. Mine isn't stored on the tablet but is able to be streamed.

There's nothing in software update and nothing on the PC on the play store when I go to movies .
Is it anything to do with I can't even find it on the play store to buy ?
UK Market
Can anyone else living in the UK see the Transformers film in the market? As I only get only get a movie called "leader" when I search for it.
Anyone got any idea where it is stored on the device after download?
I want to back it up so I don't lose it when I flash a new rom

When I bought it it came "pre-installed" but it was just streaming and I had to make it available offline.
I did a factory restore and it was not in the market ON MY PC, however it was on the market ON MY TABLET.
Make sure you are using the market on your tablet or it will not show up.
nm-Looks like you've done that....
I thought would start this post since I didn't see one where people could some of there favorite video apps that don't come stock on the N7. Her is my list:
1. Netflix - pretty good app and greatest availability of streaming movies you will find from a monthly service.
2. Xfinity Player: Nice updates to the UI for 7 inch tablets and really good for catching up on old episodes of Spartacus.
3. Crunchyroll: The premiere app for watching animes that are subbed and best of all they have a free option that works over Wi-Fi. Doesn't work over Bluetooth tethering, but ICS built in Wi-Fi tethering is just fine if you don't mind the ads.
4. HomeDia: A nice free app that allows you to stream videos on your home network. I paired mine up with plex media server since you have to pay for tversity and it has worked well. If it doesn't play a video just use a third video player app like rockplayer.
5. Dailymotion: To be honest the only reason I use this app is to catch up with subbed anime episodes of OnePiece, outside of that nothing really else for me.
The good thing about these apps are they are free to download and numbers 1, 2, and 5 have apps for the Xbox 360. Well those are mine, so what are yours?

Crackle has some good free movies and tv shows. I also like to browse vimeo using the app, there are lots of cool videos on there.
If you like to watch current TV DROID TV Primetime actually works very well on the N7. There are quite a few free shows but for @$9 for three months you can get shows like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Greys Anatomy, and dozens of others. I have used it for over a year on my DROID X and it sizes up really well to the 7inch for factor.

Are you doing this on a N7?
I had problems with it on my N7 in that I couldn't get it to lower/hide the info when the video was playing. Unless I am missing something .... On my phone it worked just fine.
UPDATE
Now if this isn't stupid on my part..... if you touch the video when it is playing, a icon shows on the bottom left to make it Full Screen... thought I had tried everything...

Thanks I didnt know that Crackle would work with the N7 unless I installed flash. So far it looks pretty good, I just dont like how the UI doesn't work that well in portrait mode. Hey that's what updates are for.

Why is it a joke...... Spotify charges the exact same amount for mobile devices.
If Google can get the deals in place and match their library, there is no joke about it, especially if you get in early on for the $7.99 price.

It's 7.99 a month if you sign up for the free trial before mid-june I think? http://www.androidcentral.com/google-play-music-all-access-unveiled
I'm a long-time Rhapsody user, but I've got to say, being able to combine the music I already have or have purchased with a subscription service is awfully convenient. On the other hand, only being able to use it on the web/my phone instead of also on my xbox for living room listening is less wonderful.

Yea I signed up for it because it would be nice as you said for streaming plus songs I already have. But with so many companies offering music services it's going to be hard to have a single solution across all platforms. With this and my xbox/win8 set up I'm pretty much covered.

i really want to subscribe to this but im outside US any ideas how i can achieve this?
I've been on Spotify for over a year, tried MOG, Rdio, everything. So far this has the best interface, with more music in some respects, with notification bar controls, and landscape mode, for 7.99. Great job Google! Just won me
I ditched MOG for All Access. I don't use all of its expanded features, but it does exactly what I need it to do.
I've not previously subscribed to a music service, couple of questions some of you may be able to answer... I have some guesses. Let me know if there are other use cases:
[Q-1] Why is there an option to still upload my music library when I've already purchased all access? I can play anything I want already, on demand or radio-like.
[GUESS-1] Is this to upload music I write, or music that's not licensed through the service (like a certain artist I want is missing, or not commercial yet)? Anything else? Should I "upload" music that I own that is available for streaming play? Will that impact anything like the quality? I'm guessing not, and I'm hoping if it detects a match it won't waste my 20,000 song space, or bother shoving up data it already has a better copy of.
[Q-2] Why can we still "buy" songs when we're all access? I can already play anything Google has. Why are you showing me this? I have seen a few comments (while searching for these answers) of people actually saying they wish their $7.99/mo. subscription came with 10 free songs... Why? That doesn't seem logical.
[GUESS-2] So I can still play it if I drop the subscription?

1) It's a holdover from when Google Music was upload/purchase only and didn't have a streaming option. I already had most of my albums uploaded to GMusic for streaming purposes. Now, though, I guess it's only if you want to upload stuff that isn't in Google's catalog.
2) For when you unsubscribe.

You can't download all access music on your pc, just purchased tracks or your own. Also, Google doesn't have licenses for every label and every artist/album. Uploading your own supplements this. I also suspect their purchase library is larger than all access streaming but I can't confirm this, just guessing.

It's there, you sure you are not looking hard enough?
I checked on my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 10, it's there under the settings. And I am willing to bet if it is one my Nexus 10, it should be on your Nexus 4.
The one thing I LOVE about Google Music/All Access is that it displays the song playing on my car's radio, Spotify doesn't. Spotify is also finnicky with headset controls...sometimes when I hit play the stock Android players kicks on.
But what I do give Spotify props for are the nice little features - the desktop program is really easy to use, easy to create and modify your playlists, easy to see what's new and trending, and I really use the Popularity feature a lot. Also the app has crossfading, which is a little but awesome feature, it's also an easier interface.
I'm really on the fence with this one.

You can download the mp4 file but the GVR doesn't seem to see it. Does it need that .pvr file?
You need to move file to oculus/360videos folder
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
I did. Videos still don't show up.
Use stock video player and try to play that video. If is playable then oculus player will play it too. If not then you need to reconvert it to mp4 with mp3 sound. Easy way to check: use stock file manager, go to oculus -> 360videos and if tumbnail of video in question is visible then video should play, if has basic icon then needs to be reconverted.

They will play. If you noticed in my screenshot there are some videos without matching pvr file. I believe pvr file is tumbnail for video. Videos without pvr will have blue square as tumbnail in 360 video but they will play once selected.

Thanks. That worked but I'm having the same problem as with all the 360 videos, the focus is terrible. Is that the nature of 360 videos or something else? The focus seems to be really awful compared to still images or even regular video. Perhaps because 3D video captures less information for each view than regular video?
You can find some sharper videos. A lot has to do with compression and file size. They never going to be completly sharp on our screens. Each eye receives information from less than half of phone screen and magnification itself will blur picture. It may change with 8k displays Higher resolution 360 videos may have dimensions around 4k x 2k pixels and quality is better.
