Hi folks,
I've just bought the latest version of Coreplayer (1.1.0) after seeing that it supported ATi chips now. But, the playback of WMV files is still slow? ANyone got any ideas? I've tried playing from Storage cards (133 speed) and the Microdrive and no difference.
Im with you just purchased it, and no difference in speed. I bought the one for pda's did you get the one for smartphones. just curious
On my X7500 Coreplayer only works fine in raw framebuffer mode (tools\options\video)
im having issues putting movies on my SD card. i have converted DVDs to mp4. i did have 2 movies i put on there last week(worked perfectly), then installed a 32gb class 10 SD(for more storage) and now i am having troubles. i got 1 movie on there, but the others wont transfer properly. it looks as if it did, but wont play. Even if i try to play them from my phone to computer(via USB). the 1 that i got on there plays fine. any ideas? ive formatted the card.
Edit: The converted movies (mp4 format) play fine from my computer file.

If your running a sense rom,its a bug in the sense OS,if your sd card is over 16GB for some reason,some thing wont show up or even disappear.
After doing more research, I got the new card on ebay. I'm assuming I got some cheap p.o.s. That isn't going to work properly.

it might be how you are transfering the movies. if you are using a sd adapter for card slots it might not allow you too write files, especially big ones ( 1 gig plus.) I had to buy a r/w sd adapter for mine cuase it constantly failed transfering.
I'm just using a usb cable and mounting phone to computer. It worked perfectly with the factory 8gb card. I don't know if I'm running a sense rom. I'm using swagged out. I believe. I reinstalled the 8gb card and working fine now. if it is a rom issue how do I fix that, or will making the card be seen as 16gb work, if its possible.

couple things it could be. The first is obviously if you bought the card on ebay, it's highly likely it's a fake. It's very easy to take a 2gb card, paint a number 3 on it, and make it look like a 32gb card.
Second, the files need to be under 2gb for the stock movie player to play them.
Also, you said you converted to mp4, that's not a format, just a container. What matters is the codec used, which should be h264 baseline codec.
Im using a DVD converter. Ive had 2 of the movies on the 8gb card and worked fine. just after the new card they dont work now. all my movies so far are under 2gb. i was able to get 1 of the movies onto the SD but no more. im assuming i got a fake 32gb card, which would make sense, 1 movie about 1.5gb, plus some apps and pics. try 2nd movie and "NO". gonna try and get my $$ back and return it. then actually go buy a real card. thanks guys...
I have ordered the OTG cable but while I wait I'll pose the question.
I've placed a 3gb mkv on the N7 and it plays like a champ but would like to get a larger jump drive to place movies on (larger than 2gb). Will the N7 recognize a NTFS partition or would I need to format it as something else?

Bump
I just tried a 4.37GB mkv file on a 16GB NTFS stick - it all works fine here
I was going to transfer a few 720p movie files to my Nexus 7 today only to be told by my computer that I can't transfer any files larger than 4GB onto my Nexus 7...
...We do live in 2012, right?
How can I get around the 4GB file size limit (and why does such a thing exist in the first place!?)
I'd use Dropbox. The 4GB limit is based on how the internal SD was fashioned. Google probably figured that with a 8GB or 16GB device, no one would need to circumvent that limit
You proved them wrong.

I really don't see a need for transferring 4 GB at once. Why not move ONE movie at a time
the 4gb file limit is a restriction placed since the internal storage runs the FAT file system for compatibility with more PCs. i may be wrong, but android doesnt support NTFS at the moment, so the 4gb limit wont be bypassed anytime soon.
although you could just use a video file splitter.
You could use a USB OTG cable and thumb drive. Just toss the times you want on the thumb drive and rock with that.

As mentioned, the 4GB limit is a filesystem limitation. I don't exactly know what filesystems Android supports natively though, but perhaps ext3 or ext4 would be a nice choice.
As others have said, if you're rooted you can use stickmount app and a usb otg cable to mount a stick drive to the nexus. It supports NTFS which doesn't have a file limit. It is read only, however, so you cannot move anything back on to the thumb drive, but it doesn't sound like that would be a problem for your uses. Copy and paste to tablet works great, and so does direct playback from the drive with mx player. My 1080p 15gb files play wonderfully from the stick, kind of amazing despite being egregious overkill..
I do wish there was a way to write to the NTFS drives though...
Android uses ext3 or ext4 which permits large file sizes.
Unless there is some special implementation of this file system that restricts file sizes, the actual problem is with Windows not recognizing that the device can handle large file sizes.
You are gaining NOTHING in quality with a 4GB+ video over a 1GB video.
Its a waste on such a small screen, you will NEVER be able to tell the difference.
Re-encode the video with the proper bitrate and enjoy amazing HD quality with a reasonable file size. Takes 25 min on a good modern computer for a 2 hour movie.
Queue 10 movies up before you go to bed. Done when you wake up. Pretty simple people.

Actually re-encoding it to be a smaller file is exactly what I did as a solution and you are right, the process is "simple", but not FAST. Transferring the two movies I wanted to watch would've taken about 6-8 minutes via USB. However, the re-coding took about 12 minutes each video to get them down to about 2GB each. Then I transferred the files which took 3-4 minutes.
So had the Nexus 7 didn't have the 4GB file size limit, the total time I had to wait before I leave the house would've been 6-8 minutes. But because of the file size limit, I ended up waiting a total of close to 30 minutes.
I also agree that I gain nothing in quality with a 4GB movie file due to the size of the Nexus 7's screen. However, I had already downloaded these movies which I originally planned on watching on my 1080p HDTV.

It's actually ONE movie file that's over 4GB
Bienvenue à la vingt et unième siècle mon ami
Just go to thepiratebay.se and you can select whatever filesize and format your heart desires.
USB hard drive on Nexus 7
I just plugged in my 2.5-inch 1 TB USB hard drive into my Nexus 7 USB OTG. It is NTFS formatted. StickMount mounted it. I am now playing a 1080p video that is an 8GB file.
I was pleasantly surprised that the Nexus 7 supplies enough power to run the USB hard drive just fine.
Write?

While that's very impressive that the Nex7 can power the external hard drive, your scenario isn't a very viable option if you ask me. What I am looking for is fully-functional storage. There is no way currently that allows you to WRITE anything to that 1TB hard drive, am I right? You can only read. I currently have a 64GB flash drive, nice and light, and the adapter is velcroed to the back of my Nex7

You should be able to use this kernel to do so, since it supports NTFS read and write:

Thank you, I'll give this a try and update in a minute.
UPDATE:
That kernel worked perfectly. It didn't automatically allow me to write to my flash drive or delete files, but I went into Paragon NTFS, unmounted, then re-mounted, and everything was super. Super as in: I can finally WRITE! =D
Thank you kindly.
The internal storage for nexus 7 is indeed not fat32, one way to prove it is to use a terminal app and concat large files all together, and you will see it bypass the 4gb limit, there was one test done and there's a 6 gig file inside the internal storage for nexus 7
Nexus 7 probably used fuse to display its contents on other oses, like windows or even macosx, using the universal file format fat32 to make it an easy process to mount stuff.
So unless there is a way to bypass and write to the storage natively, otg and a usb stick is another method...
No FTP or wifi xfers, too slow for a large mkv file
So is this an old issue? I just picked up an N7 and transferred a 5gig file to mess around and it plays just fine.
4 GB for one movie... good lord. What are you watching? Watchmen considering that's long as hell and drawn out... lol

I found this thread while searching for video size limit of Android but my dilemma is slightly different and I am not sure why I couldn't find a more elaborate discussion thread on the issue. I am talking about the size limit of the video that you are allow to capture using Android apps. I have tested it with Xperia SP and Samsung Galaxy Grand and both apps STOPPED capturing the video once the video file size reaches 4gigs, regardless of whether the storage media you are recording to is NTFS or FAT32. Is it a known built-in limit of Android OS and if it is so, anyone know of a workaround, custom mod, kernel etc that allow the capturing of video beyond that limit ?
