Guest martinhy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) answered many many times last version doesn't work use version 1.5.5.5 not 1.6.1 sorry for asking stupid questions... RockPlayer doesn't support streaming and i lastly used VPlayer instead thank you and sorry again... but is there any method to make VPlayer to replace completely against the system player? coz there'll be problems to play videos outside VPlayer (some apps simply embeds system player inside and don't provide any option for me to change, such as Stream Media Player) i.e will the FFMpeg decoder applies universally to the whole system?

Guest chall32 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I use the simple (and free) command line tool FFMPEG to convert videos to natively play (that is using the built in Video app) on my SanFran. Sure there are lots of GUI based apps to convert video, but I prefer a command line app in this situation as once you understand the command and switches it's dead easy to tweak. I don't have the exact commands with me at the moment, but I can post them tonight. From memory you need to convert them to MPEG4/H.264 for native video playback in Android (same as iPhone).... As I say, I'll dig the commands I use out tonight. - Chris
Guest chall32 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Here you go. Turned ito a bit of a megga post, so stuck it all up on my blog in the end. :lol: http://chall32.blogspot.com/2011/01/video-...-or-iphone.html Enjoy!
Guest martinhy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 i wanna stream the TV programmes to the phone and it's only played smoothly with mpeg2 format with lower resolution (about 480x320 2000kbps) is it the max quality SF can play? SF can't suppprt any resolution higher than that?
Guest chall32 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 2000kbps? The iPhone 3Gs maxes out at 1500!
Guest alanli613 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 You can try QQplayer can play avi also 3gp and also free
Guest martinhy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 2000kbps? The iPhone 3Gs maxes out at 1500! stream with vlc, setting 2000kbps totally including video and audio for mpeg2 but not quite good for mp4 even with low bitrate can SF decode hardwarely for both mpeg2 and mp4? resolution is the greatest obstacle while increasing bitrate doesn't make much problem
Guest chall32 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 can SF decode hardwarely for both mpeg2 and mp4? At a hardware level not sure, but Android as a platform O/S supports mpeg4 as detailed here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendi...ia-formats.html I think mpeg2 = H.263 (not sure thou) which is also listed. - Chris
Guest curl66 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) the blade does nativly support only H264 you can convert it with handbrake http://handbrake.fr/details.php Container MP4-File Picture - Width = 320 - 800 (384 for DVD) - Keep Aspect Ratio = On - Anamorphic = None Video Filter - Detelcine and Decomb = Default - other 'Off' Video - Video Codec = H.264 (x264) - Quality = Constant Quality RF22 Audio - Audio Code = AAC - Mixdown = Stereo - Samplerate = 44.1 - Bitrate 160 - DRC = 0 Advanced 8x8dct=0:bframes=0:cabac=0:nofast-pskip=1:analyse=all:weightb=0:me=umh works for me for avi you can try Meridian player. in a few weeks VLC is available for android.

Guest Phoenix Silver Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 the question was about to stream videos not to play videos rockplayer play divxs or xvids as it without conversion the best solution i have found (there are surely other solutions better) is vlc both pc and android side throuh wifi

Turned ito a bit of a megga post, so stuck it all up on my blog in the end. :lol: http://chall32.blogspot.com/2011/01/video-...-or-iphone.html Enjoy! I'm fairly certain you are not encoding to H.264 using those options, just to Mpeg4 (h263?). IIRC you want -vcodec x264 or -vcodec h264 You can stream h264 to the default android video player using VLC (RTSP), I don't remember what settings I used, but it was very fussy about which options you select.
