Samsung galaxy tab as DLNA client

**Paul** · 10-24-2011, 10:15 AM

Dear Dejan,

I'd recommend just using the shipped "Rock Player" device profile for your Galaxy Tab. When you try to play files listed in iMediaShare, do you select RockPlayer as the default player?

Dear Dennis,
I have change to RockPlayer.prf to be profile for my Samsung Galaxy tab. Also, I check Transcode incompatible media files.... Now, mkv and vob want to play at all (tab write message that it can't play mkv). I didn't succeed to make RockPlayer to be default player...
Any idea?
Dejan.

Dejan,

You need to set the RockPlayer to be default, otherwise it won't work. I think there's a setting somewhere in the system to reset the default players, so perhaps try doing that. I don't remember where it is, but do a quick Google on it.

Dennis,
RockPlayer is my default player. When I move check to "Transcode incompatible media files..." it can open all files but mkv movies are slow, video is often corrupt, audio/video is out of sync. Also, subtitles don't work if they are not hardcoded into video. When I put check to "Transcode incompatible media files...", then most mkv and vobs can't open at all.
regards

Most likely external subtitles aren't supported by the device.

You need to transcode the files to make them compatible with RockPlayer - if that fails, please enable logging (see this thread: http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...nostic-logging) then try playing one of the failing files and once it fails, stop the server and send the logs to support.

One more time. When I disable transcoding....everything is working but mkv movies are slow, video is often corrupt, audio/video is out of sync. Also, subtitles don't work if they are not hardcoded into video. When I enable transcoding...I can't open mkv and vob. RockPlayer tells me that it can't play mkv. You want me to enable transcoding and try to play mkv and when it's fail to send you log ?

When you disable transcoding, the files you are trying to play may be incompatible with what the device/player can handle, thus they appear corrupt or out of synch. Transcoding is meant to create compatible files. Yes, please enable transcoding, try to play one file and once it fails, stop the server and send in the logs.
