Hi Folks,
Just received one of these S7 Slim tablets at the weekend for my son who will mainly use the tablet for watching kids videos.
I use mVideoPlayer on my HTC Flyer and think it's probably the best feature set of all the apps I've used to date so downloaded that for the S7.
Once I got all of his videos loaded onto a 16GB SD card, I tried to playback a couple of episodes of Bubble Guppies and Dora the Explorer.
The video quality was absolutely dire.
After fiddling around, I changed the settings to software mode and the videos looked clear and crisp once more.
Does the S7 Slim have a problem with hardware decoding or is it something to do with the file extension?
I loaded up RockPlayer Lite which works very well in software mode but the standard ROM does not allow me to browse to the external SD card for some unknown reason?
I have to say that overall I'm very impressed by this tablet - the only real let down is perhaps the screen quality but it is certainly a much nicer unit than I expected. The built in mic is pretty much useless too but the audio quality using Skype video calling via the supplied headset/mic is perfect.
