Just curious, are you running one of the over clocked kernels?

I am running the stock speed undervolted kernel and haven't had a crash yet.

i'm running an oc uv hydra kernal and i've had no issues with it other than it won't play the audio on my mkv's, but that's a codec issue.

I have an OC UV kernel. It crashed at one spot in a video and then after i reopened i tried to fastforward to that part and it crashed again and then it finally played through that part.

For some reason, my rockplayer only sees my sd card. can anyone access their phone memory?

[Bxsteez]

I can only see my SD card as well

There also isn't a wakelock so the phone goes to sleep while playing a video. I must say though this is a EXCELLENT beta. It works better than yxplayer.

You're right, I always keep all on my video on my SD card so I never even noticed.

Mine does not sleep during playback either.

There are some things that need to be addressed but I am just happy to have a decent player that plus multiple formats and quit well at that.

i found divx and xvid work great on my Dinc. hidef mkv files are slow and choppy with delayed audio. this was expected and am not complaining about it because there is no reason to fill up my sd card with large mkv's. i was just curious to see if the player would even be able to read the file. which it did.. so this gives me hope for the player to play mkv files with froyo well. for now, i'm just now glad that i do not have to handbrake my avi's before i move them to my phone.

excellent beta release!

Love this app! Haven't used it a lot, but it will prevent me from having to convert my entire video collection just to watch them on my incredible.
