[Q] FLAC support in Gingerbread? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does Gingerbread have native support for FLAC playback?
Currently OpenDesire seem to support certain FLACs and players like Andless and Meridian support all FLACs.
But its best if Android itself has native FLAC support.

Hi guys, just to confirm whether GB / CM7 support 24 bits flac format? I have an album in 24 bits flac, can't be played in stock music player of CM7.2.1.8 + aNa kernel. I have to download and play with Meridian player!

Gingerbread does not have native support for FLAC playback. some custom roms do have.
as mentioned before some apps support flac playback. i can recommand poweramp music player. works fine ;-)

+1 for power amp

Is there solution to the problem with films of HTC HD?

Ultimately, what is the best video player for the HTC HD now?
Problem as the phone was out that the core player play good films, but does not support all audio codecs (it is a film without sound) and does not support subtitles.
Free version of TCPMP do play all movies whit sound and subtitles, but movies go very slowly rather than smooth.
So my question is, since my information is from 4-5 months before, are there any new development on the subject. Is there a player who goes smoothly converted video and subtitles supported?
If there is such a miracle, I'll be happy to drop a link?
What is the latest version of core player and are solved the problems there?
Latest version was 1.3 I reckon. They plan on introducing AC3 audio codec support which is the most widely used audio codec for ripped movies etc in a 1.5.x version.
But yeah, Coreplayer is at the moment still the most top notch player imo.
This is a list of the supported audio and video codecs:
Audio : MP3, MP2, AAC, MKA, WMA, Midi*, WAV, OGG, Speex, WAVPACK, TTA, FLAC, MPC, AMR, ADPCM, ALaw, MuLaw, G.729, GSM
Video: H.264 (AVC), AVCHD, MKV, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 part 2 (ASP), DivX, XviD, WMV*, Theora*, Dirac*, MJPEG, MSVIDEO1
Another Coreplayer user here!
Works great for me.

It all depends how you encode the video files... I can play a whole movie without any lag.
yes, but I want to play unconverted video..
The main reason why I use coreplayer is because it can play unconverted video, I have too much video to even be coverted and it's generally just too much of a hassle to me. You can't watch a 4.7 gig dvd unconverted if that's what you mean but dvd ripped avi filea from like 700 mb play without any lag at all using coreplayer.

[Q] wmv playback not functional?

Thanks for the reply.
Default player does not work.
Puzzling why SE spec page states it supports this format.
Just to finalize this thread.
Bought Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 6
Converts files to .mp4, flawless.

Video player with all format compatibly

Suggest me one video player which can play all the formats of video such as .avi, .mpg etc etc.

VLC is pretty great for being an alpha. Stock player is still the best though.
Nothing beats stock player atm. I'm on CM7, so I don't have the flawless Samsung player, hence I also need a replacement. The best I've got so far is mobo player, however it can't handle HD videos that well. There's also Rock player, but to me it seemed even worse than Mobo player. I've also gave VLC player a try, but in this alpha stage it's unusable; it has lower than 1 FPS on HD videos. So, I'm waiting for improvements on either of them.
I use QQPlayer for playing RMVB files. Super I should say
Vplayer, all the way.

Multi audio track in single file.
Single MKV/MP4 file may have 2 or more audio track.
some players like dice,mx can choose audio track.
Ohk. Thanks

There seems to be 2 Mobo players on the market. The original one, and a "newer" one. No idea if the newer one is legit or notably different.
Generally, there is very little the stock player won't handle, if you find something then Mobo seems to be able to deal with it.
My Samsung Galaxy s2 Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 Files with Ac3 audio decoded. I was able to play those using Dice player or rockplayer. But i dont have an option called 5.1 to enable on those players unlinke stock player.
The official Samsung Site or other specification gives the specification (This is from wikipedia)
For audio it supports (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF). For video formats and codecs it supports (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX HD/XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (ASF) as well as AVI (DivX)).
Issues:
1. Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded (Stock Media Player gives the Option 5.1 to be enabled but ac3 not playing)
2. Other players play it Under software decoding, But main Problem is 5.1 isn't working with Head phones
I googled and found some Users were able to Play it with stock media Players. Read something like "I dont have any problem playing those files, I just copy and play them"
I am now confused is this happeneing with my device alone, So guys how do you dea this?
Please reply so that i would be grateful to you guys
Until someone makes video codec for the sg2 Mali gpu, no software codec will be able to handle high res video better than the stock video player, or lower res video with the same battery efficiency.
That being said, audio decoding and subtitle handling don't need that horsepower, and more and more players mix stock decoder hardware features for the video part and software management for the rest.

Something is wrong or missing, can't really give you an answer because I never seen that happen before. Should give more info about the file your trying to play.
Besides that, why not just stick to the 3rd party apps. I stop using stock since it barely plays anything correctly compared to both MX and Dice player anymore. Or is that 5.1 sound effect really that necessary to you?

[Q] FLAC in GB stock rom

can stock rom play FLAC files? (fw 62) GB
was using ICS stock rom, all my FLAC scanned and played smoothly...
but ICS lack of clearbass mod and laggy UI, so i back to GB
someone can port the FLAC codec to GB?
sorry for bad english
I think you'd be better off downloading another music player from the market (Most of them support FLAC).
but another player bad in DSP
poweramp plays flac, but sound like lossy mp3
tried another player, but not good as stock

[Q] Best Video Player - MKV

Hello
I recently bought Note 2 and came from HTC HD2 with windows phone 7.5
I´m newbie with android but at this moment i love it.
I have a samsung micro-sd Pro 64Gb Classe 10 with 2 mkv films installed, but just only have image with sound with:
BSPlayer Free and VLC
No sound with: Daroon player, Mx player, Mobo Video Player, QQ Player, Dice Player, VPlayer, Double Twist... : Choro:
Do i need to install a sound codec or what!?
Many Thanks and Kind Regards
Perhaps the videos/movies are DTS audio, which is removed due to copyrights. You can find a codec plugin to re-enable it. I forgot which site, try to google it.
In MXPlayer, try switching the audio track, or disabling Use H/W audio Decoder. Found that switching the audio tracked worked in MXPlayer for MKV Videos.
Ue mx player, no need for codecs. Tinker with the settings you might have to enable/disable something
I Sir
I made all audio option with MxPlayer and no good results
I suppose MXPlayer does not support DTS audio..
Try vlc player, works for me
---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------
Or get MX Player and use this codec http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831111&page=7
Ive also used this and it works fine
use Dice player...
it is capable of playing dual audio mkv also...
OT.... you come from the htc hd2 ..used wp7.5 on it. ..... but never used Android on it ?... lol
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
What's wrong with the stock player?
I've found that it displays crisper quality videos and also does not have the DTS copyright removal.

I ended up doing this in conjunction with MX player. I believe it was a pack of codecs called NEON.
DTS enabled ffmpeg for MX Player for Note II:

Use H/W for video and S/W for audio.
Tested with MX Player Pro 1.7.7.

Hi, how about you try BS Player. The Player Have codex built-in.
I tried a bunch of players, including Mobo, BS, VPlayer, VLC and the built-in one. I've had the best results with MX Player. Runs the smoothest and also uses the least battery (with HW acceleration), and also can stream from network shares instantly.
If I want to watch a video at accelerated speed, then VLC.
Mx player is the best. Close this thread
