Rock Player (Demo player) not working?

[gyedema]

I came from Winmo 6.5 and missed my dearly Coreplayer.
So found and installed Rock Player (which is called Demo Player after install?) but no matter what I do: no video whatsoever is played. I have .wmv files, .avi, .mp4: I tap the filename and rock player goes back to the dir view.

Anyone else know about this issue? Or did I miss something?

You should use Meridian. It's very nice but only plays mp4.
Xvid and wmv is not hardware supported but you can use xyflash to play them. It just lags. You will have to wait for coreplayer 2.0 for android.

No, he doesn't. Rockplayer Beta works wonderfully with divx, xvid, mkv and the likes.

same here i cant get rockplayer to work on my legend.

As far as I know Rock Player is an old project of getting vlc to work on android. Only problem is that is isn't designed to be running on the mobile platform. It works for some but I tried every apk I could find but never got it running on my Legend.

I myself am looking forward to CorePlayer. It is going to do all that is missing in videoplayback on android.

Thats just my 2 cents.

If it shows "Demo Player", then you are installing the logo hacked version of first close beta of RockPlayer. The later URL posted is the official public beta which is much more stable.

I strongly suggest you to have a look at the release announce at www . diffthink.com /forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4 , it helps to understand why some phone cannot run it.

It's terribly sluggish on mine.

 

[Darkchaser]

The latest beta for Rockplayer now supports the Legend, excellent! And the performance is superb with very little slowdown, if any.

doesn't work on my Hero (2.1) as well. It just keeps on going back to the file explorer window. Samsung Galaxy Spica has DivX support and it works like a charm.

Working great on my Evo.

[cryshop]

Yeah, the lastest version works really great. Btw, yxflash is screwed.

Keep getting Installation Failed on my 2.1 Hero (ezHero v5.0)


Works on my friends hero, same firmware, any suggestions?

NEVER MIND, think my original download was corrupt, after re-downloading and installing it worked.


GREAT APP!

Can anyone please reupload or send me a link to a working version of Rockplayer ? The link here is dead.

I have the Demoplayer version and it keeps crashing everytime I try to play a file (tried avi video, and mp3 music).

edit : I downloaded a version from the market, but it doesn't play my avi files (tried a random episode of BBT, 175MB) - it says it can't play in system mode and freezes in normal mode. This version can at least play audio, which couldn't be more useless to me.

@grandioso

Which Rom do you use? I think that if you use Azure rom, the rock player won't work. It has something to do with camera library, if they change it so that the player would work, then the camera doesn't work. So the devs decieded that most users prefers working camera. I must say it's a right decision, but maybe some one will find a solution to this problem.
