So I've been happily using Mobo Player for a good few months on my Desire, and now on my SGS2.
Now that I have a phone capable of 720p mkv playback, I've put a few HD shows on there as well.
Problem is that some of them are very quiet, maxing out the volume is still too quiet, whereas some of the other videos are fine.
Now rather than re-encoding the lot to boost the volume (defeating the point of having a phone that can play them natively), is there a video player out there that can handle mkvs and also has EQ settings where I can boost the levels or up the gain?
Cheers
Just download "equalizer" from the market and put all the bands to Max when ur watching a film.

Cheers, works a treat!
I am wondering if anyone else is having issues playing HD video on the A100. I have put multiple different HD files on the device itself and tried to play them in MX Media Player, but the playback is downright horrible. Even with hardware rendering. I really want to be able to play my media over my network, but right now, it is just waay too choppy to watch, even with it on the card. Is there something I am missing?
with HD you mean 1080p videos? if so, try Mobo Player, it works really god at fullHD videos (at least for me).
also streaming 1080p is sketchy at best on wifi..

well it is suppose that acer a100 suports fullHD, so try killing processes or cleaning cache. what's your android version? (3.2 or 3.2.1)
What audio s used on the files, I have noticed that 720p mkv movies using DTS for example will outright kill performance.
Try using a 4GB 'scene' release with stereo audio if you haven't on MX Video to see if helps.
Look what i found, it may work.
Link.
I am using BSPlayer lite. This works the best for my MKV's with no audio loss. It loses some frames but plays more than MX Video or MoboPlayer.
You will need to get the ARM7 add on for it.
Try this out. I am able to stream my over 4gb MKV's from my server to my A100.
The tegra 2's only downfall... its horrible at decoding high profile HD video such as H264 video. Should be able yo run 720p just fine though depending on the type of video. I'd say try clearing up some memory.
I honestly don't see the point of playing 1080p video on a 7" tablet, seems like overkill. I can understand that its convenient to have 1 file that'll run on all your devices, but unfortunately that can't always be the case.

So I was googling this stuff and I came across a pretty great media player, it is called BS PLAYER
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
I also installed the CPU Support
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tLmJzcGxheWVyLmJzcGxheWVyYW4uY3B1LmFybXY3diJd
I transferred a 3.3GB .mkv file and it plays perfectly fine at 24 fps, smooth as a whistle, the video only lags when you have the GUI up, once it goes away the video goes back to being 4.8" of HD GOODNESS.
Enjoy. :]
Stock player plays mkv perfectly fine. As for third party MX Player takes the cake.

It does however with a file that has a DTS audio track, the stock player does not decode the sound so you get no audio

Yeah the stock player has worked fine for me directly from the gallery. I was worried about loading .mkv files onto my phone but I figured I would just put them there and wait for VLC to hit a stable release but when I tried it on a whim it was butter smooth playback. (Note, the first time I tried this I was using the TuchMi 5.0 ROM with faux123's kernel overclocked to 1.8GHz)
Diceplayer has played anything Ive thrown at it

Hey I'm considering the S3, I had a question if you wouldn't mind answering. I was wondering what resolutions you all were playing these files at, and also if you happen to know or could check if the .mkv files were encoded in H.264 or Hi-profile H.264. The reason I ask is than I have downloaded tons and tons of anime and other files and most of them are encoded in Hi-profile h.264 MKV. I would appreciate any help, thanks.

According to a review on "anandtech" (I can't post a link due to the 10 post rule), the camera actually encodes recorded video in 1080p H.264 - High Profile. I know it's not mkv but at least this means it should support the format.
1080p high profile is no problem, you can also play back lower res 720p @ 60FPS, assuming you running stock based rom, CM, AOSP won't have media codecs.
Also flash this kernel Sammy ICS version.

Yeah well .mkv is just a file container anyways, so as long as the video is encoded in that format, then that means it does have the support! Thanks for letting me know, I'll go find that review too.
Sorry to keep bothering you guys, just to confirm 100%, I was wondering if you could download the "Serenity – 720p “On HD DVD” Trailer" from this site. This file is giving my Atrix problems, audio wont sync up and video is really choppy. So if it works flawlessly on the S3 then I know this will be the phone I get.

Dude are you serious? Two post up I told you gs3 can play 720p @ 60FPS and 1080p at up to 30fps no sweat.
That trailer is measly 1280×720 (720p), 23.967 FPS, and gs3 plays it without breathing.
Atrix is a gimp.

VLC is amazing.
Downloading it now. I'll let you know how it goes.

Definitely VLC Beta.
It's the only app out of half a dozen I've tried that'll play 1080p h/w accelerated WITH DTS audio & subs.
I've been using vplayer to watch Doctor Who for the past week or so with no problems. And yes, they have the DTS sound track as well. No lag, no issues, all butter
Though methinks its only a free trial, so hopefully these other apps work just as well so I don't have to worry about having to pay for it.
Edit: VLC Beta really is awesome, plays mkv files with dts tracks perfectly. Thanks for the heads up!

Well the Atrix can play other encoded videos at 1080p and even h.264 content at at least 720p...it only has a problem with specifically hi-profile encoded h.264 content. The atrix website claimed it can decode h.264 content, and it can, but not the hi-profile setting. Anyways, sorry I don't mean to sound like I am doubting you, I am just overly cautious. Thanks for letting me know.

Anyone here has the mkv playback problems on S3? I tried the Vplayer, #15 recommended, but the video and audio are out of sync.

have you tried mx player?
Do you reencode HD video for the Note 2? If so, what have you found to be an ideal format and resolution? I mentioned in another thread that the native player and MX Player will play the video for my .MKV's but not the DTS soundtrack. I've fiddled with the settings on both players, but I'm not getting any sound at all for any of my blu-ray rips.
Generally I just grab the 720p version and leave it as is. The native player had an issue with one of my mkv files, but MX played it fine, no audio issues.
I generally download straight on the device, so to re-encode it would require transferring the file twice, plus the encoding time. Not worth it to me.

Look at Randles' two posts on this page.

I tried running a 720p video using mx player (good quality video I think) from a plugged in usb flash key drive and kept getting frozen frames every few seconds though the sound was ok. I was considering asking the same question about how it should be encoded to play without stuttering. Then I played with the player and discovered I could pinch to zoom in or out of the image while it was playing and if I reduced the display a minimal amount it would play correctly. I changed it to 99% of normal size and no more playback problems. I don't know why this is but hope it helps someone...

Thanks. Most of my videos are 720P MKV's with DTS sound. After installing the codec above, I haven't had any issues, but if I do, I will keep your suggestion in mind.
Hey, i'm getting a note 2, should be here tomorrow (yay!) I have a question about playback that maybe someone who has one could answer, i did some googling but sadly found nothing. How is the playback when your playing 720p and 1080p .mkv? Can the stock player do it? and if it can't how is it on 3rd party players? Does it jump or stutter at all? Thanks
I use MXPlayer for almost everything
MXplayer is the way to go!
The Note II is the first Android device I've owned where I've felt no need to use anything other than the stock player (and I've had many, going back to the G1).
Regards,
Dave

For the most part the stock player will play well, but some 1080p videos it will play choppy a bit. MXPlayer plays them ssmmmoottthhhh!
