Top Surface Video Player App- Playing Your Own Media on Your Windows Tablet

To handle the tedious conversion of video for Surface, just download the video players from the Windows Store that can work with a variety of formats. Here we are offering 5 best video playes for all Surface Models.

Surface Tablets tries to wean people from storing and playing their own songs and movies. For windows devices users, they may want to stream their music and movies from the Internet. Internet streaming works fine, but only if you have a strong Internet connection and you don’t mind paying to watch movies and listen to songs.

So, millions of people already own plenty of music and movies, either created themselves or downloaded from the Internet. Usually, it’s stored in a variety of file formats, and Windows 8/8.1’s rather anemic Music and Movie apps sometimes can’t handle them. If the Music and Movie apps have let you down, try some of these video players to play your own media on your Surface tablet:

1. Windows Media Player: Found on the Desktop app, Windows Media Player comes bundled with Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro tablets. It’s the same version found in Windows 7, and it plays the usual gang of media. However, Windows Media Player can’t play DVDs, and it’s not available on Windows RT tablets.

2. Upgrade to Windows Media Center: Available for Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro, this boosts your tablet’s capabilities in two ways. First, you can plug a portable DVD player into your tablet and watch DVDs. Second, you can plug a TV tuner into your tablet’s USB port to record your own TV shows and movies from your cable provider. Or, if you’re already recording shows using Media Center on your desktop PC, you can copy the shows to your tablet for viewing. Media Center’s big buttons, optimized for big-screen TVs, work fine with your fingers. Tablets running Windows 8 Pro can upgrade to Windows Media Center for $10, but tablets running Windows 8 must pay $100.

3. VLC Media Player: This free jack-of-all-trades media player plays DVDs, movies, and songs in many more formats than Windows 8 can handle. VLC Media Player is available for Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro tablets, and a version for Windows RT is in the works.

4. Netflix and Amazon: Don’t forget that you’re not limited to Microsoft’s media offerings through the bundled Music and Movie apps. Netflix offers its own app for viewing streaming movies, and Amazon offers movie rentals (free to Prime members) on its website, available through Internet Explorer. There are other online video players like Hulu Plus, Dailymotion, TBS for Windows, and Flixster you can also choose.

5. TuneIn Radio app: Available free from the Store app, TuneIn Radio lets you listen to Internet radio stations from around the world, as well as from your home town. The program opens to show Internet broadcasts from your local AM and FM stations, as well as your local police and fire scanners. You can also search music by genre, tuning into your favorite types of music or talk shows from nearly any part of the world.

If you want to discover even more videos, check out the apps in the Windows Store. With apps like these, you’ll discover something new to watch every day. For more info about apps in the Windows Store, see the apps page on Windows online.

PS: With a powerful third-party media player you can play more videos on your Surface Tablets, however, this does not mean it can play everything you throw at it. If you find some formats like MKV, AVI, VOB, Tivo, MPG, etc. and some Blu-ray, DVD discs are unsupported by these Surface video players, you should turn to Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate.

Overall, this program is an all-in-one converting tool to convert all Blu-ray, DVD and HD video to all Surface models friendly videos without quality loss. Then transfer converted videos to your Surface RT, Surface Pro, Surface 2, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro 3, etc. and enjoy them anytime and anywhere as you like.

How To: Run Battery Report on Surface Tablets

Surface RT and Surface 2 use an internal lithium-ion battery designed to go everywhere you go. The amount of time your battery lasts varies depending on the kinds of things you do with your Surface. Here gives the way to run Battery Report on Surface Tablets. 

Have you wondered how your Surface tablet’s battery is doing? Has it seemed to be going dead more rapidly lately but, you don’t know for sure?

Well, if you’re having problems or just curious, you can always run a battery report against your Surface tablet.

A battery report is very helpful for helping you figure out how your battery(s) is performing by showing you things like…

• A 72 hour graphic usage history including charges and drains
• How much power (in mWH) your battery(s) is holding
• Capacity history (good for seeing if your battery is failing)
• Estimates on how long the battery should last

As you might imagine, this can be quite helpful in determining if you are having a problem with your battery and may be requested of you if you contact Microsoft tech support with problems like:

• Short battery life
• Frequent reboots
• Overheating issues

OK, now that you know what it’s good for, you can follow these steps to run a battery report on Surface RT/2 or Surface Pro/Pro2 tablets.

Run Battery Report on Surface Tablets:

• Bring up the search charm
• Search for cmd  
• Chose Command Prompt from the search results
• In the Command prompt window that came up on your desktop, type in “powercfg /batteryreport” and hit Enter
  
• It will generate a report file and tell you where it is located. Usually it will be placed in the c:\users\ folder and it will be named battery-report.html
  
  
• Browse to that location and open the report

I hope you found this procedure helpful.

Personally, since it only goes back 72 hours for most things, I recommend running a battery report every month or two and keeping them so you can compare trends over a long period of time. It could be very helpful if you are trying to determine if your battery is starting to fail at some point in the future.
