yup, works great. Gotta get the codec (but you have no choice, when you open the app it tells you you need it and gives you market link, so you can't miss it!)

This has quickly become my video player of choice; however I'm honestly amazed that it doesn't play *.divx files like VLC does.

Hmm I just re-downloaded Moboplayer with the codec it recommended from the market and now sound isn't working on anything...

I haven' tried a MKV yet but I will in a few, the market download gave me the same issue with no sound so I uninstalled everything and did a manual codec install from within mobo ... working perfect now :)

the problem of your file is the high profile, tegra 2 doesn't support high profil that's all

I think this is an Android limitation rather than a Tegra 2 issue. Either way its hit and miss for me. One enccoder works flawlessly at 4500 while anything encoded by handbrake at that bit rate is choppy.

I thinking the "base only" profile was an h.264 limit...

and got a little confused by the CODEC ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC thinking it was MP4, not x264 inside...

Funny the video plays fine, but the audio doesn't.

The ones I've run through Handbrake to turn into MP4's play a little smoother, at least on the Xoom's screen... HDMI out to my TV is still a little jerky

Can someone mirror the codec file please? I can't seem to hit their site.
As well as the Moboplayer.apk please. I have a serious issue where any file from the market will download and as it comes to install MyApps FC's and the app just won't install. Don't know what else to do, I've cleared data and caches from Market and MyApps, but still no joy.

[/code]

I also have this problem when playing h.264 MKV files. However, there is a work around.

Within Mobo Setting, there is an option called "Default using soft-decoding" under Playback section.

The video will have audio playback, but it might be jerky or there is lag between video and audio depend on video file.

Glad I stumped into the Moto forum. The player works good with my Iconia A500 with RMVB files.!

I'd guess the audio doesn't play because it doesn't support hardware AC3 (DD) decoding?

This works for me, but I don't really understand why it's necessary. I have an mkv file with mpga audio and it plays the video just fine, but no audio. Isn't there a way to play the audio without taking the performance hit?

Yeh the lack of hardware audio decode is a real shame, means we have to switch to soft decode to get audio, hopefully there is something the mobo player team can do about it, maybe we should try get in contact with them?

I haven't tried it yet but a new version of MoboPlayer is available with added Tegra 2 support:

http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html

Just to clarify, this does _not_ use Tegra hardware acceleration, its just optimized for the ARM core (Like using an SSE optimised binary on a PC)

The _only_ way we will get usable 720p+ h.264 (main profile) and/or use an MKV container is if the _platform_ gets updated with support for the MKV container and Nvidia update their OMXs for the platform.

No app will improve of the default playback
