Can't play RMVB video files on Honeycomb

---

Just got the A500 this week, extremely excited. Coming from my EVO the Honeycomb works similar, but different than my smartphone (CM7). One thing I'd noticed, is that none of the current Froyo/Gingerbread video player will play .RMVB files on this tablet.
Does anyone has a solution? Or I'm just whacked out? Thanks.

The general consensus is that as of right now Honeycomb on these tablets is only playing certain profiles of media and file types. For me, mp4s encoded at 1080p and under play but some are stuttered while others aren't. This has to do with profiles which I don't know the details about (there's a post somewhere around about it, either in here or in the Eee Pad Transformer section).

Now personally (so this is speculation), I think Tegra 2 can play everything so we just have to wait for updates to enable it all. Forget playing anything right now from your collection OR you can always encode your stuff to the specifications of what the tablet will run nicely now...which is, /shrug.

I've been using MoboPlayer and it seems to play every format I've thrown at it, but I don't have an rmvb to test.
