But ones with H264 compression have issues as they show as 0 MB in size and don't play but they are good as I can play them on the PS3 from the same server. I didn't have a lot of time last night to work on this but will try and capture more information in regards tonight. But wanted to at least share what I have learned so far.This profile is built to avoid transcoding as much as it can and let the PlayBook render the video at max quality with their own drivers. If you find something not working check the debug log and see what codecs mediainfo detected in the movie file, then you may add them in the bottom section of supported codecs/filetypes (and share your findings in hereThanks!

I have 3 playbooks still in regular daily use. I charge them every few days and they seem as quick, loud and bright as ever.
Purchase
My wife and I are childminders and these have been dropped and sat on and left uncharged occasionally but they look better than the ipad we bought 4 years later than these. They are poor at youtube playback which used to be one of their main uses but for games, video capture and Web browsing they are still functional. I have been looking around at other uses for them such as car mounted media screens or wall mounted interactive calendars to keep them in use after the kids stop using them, but I don't think that will be soon. Not fantastic, but it exists. The stuff I know about:.- UPnP DLNA Media ServerAnd there are a lot more apps if you converted/ Android apps to BAR files. BubbleUPnP works, and I believe my dad used to use both Plex and VLC. (Sideload with DDPB or the.)Most stuff I got working was from the era where there was a lot of confusion between the DLNA servers, browsers, renderers, and control points.
About
Even now I find it hard to find software that does more than one of those things well. I been trying to use two old Android tablets running BubbleUPnP at my studio, and things get flakey. I'm hoping that the audio extensions to DLNA (driven by the techie audiophile community,) will help that along. Google Cast (ex-Chromecast) and Apple's AirPlay seem to be farther along. (Easy when you control absolutely everything, like Apple does.)I use Twonky as my DLNA server. (Doesn't run on a Playbook, as far as I know.).
