720p Playback lagged

Hey guys,
I'm using the MHL Adapter from BizLink and tried viewing a 720p movie with DTS Sound.
The playback lagged . I don't know why..
I used the Dice Player, because it's supporting DTS, also i'm using a 5m HDMI cable.
But why is the movie lagging? There are kinda microlags..
Resolution: 720p
Video Bitrate: 5586 kbps
Audio Stream: DTS 5.1
x264
Maybe the Player causes the problem, because another 720p movie was played well (Samsung stock player). btw: the phone was very hot after watching the above mentioned (DTS) movie.
Does anyone has some ideas?

Ya some 720p movies also lags for me in Dice player.Its better to convert DTS audio only to ac3 format,doesnt take too much time either to convert.

Guess it's the best way to do.
Just watched a 1080p movie, and the phone was only a bit warm (with samsung stock player), was AC3. Does anyone know a "good" converter from DTS to AC3?
i had to split the movie into 3 files, to be able to play the movie (4GB limitation).
Maybe Samsung will fix these two issues: DTS capability and EXT4....

Diceplayer prior to 1.2.0 have some video lag issue.
did you test the movie using diceplayer 1.3.0 ?

I was using the 1.3.0 version.
Watched 1080p without any lags, yesterday. Was using stock Player

As far as I know hardware-acceleration an Android will only be used when using the integrated media-framework.
While Samsung extended the stock media-framework to support more container and codecs (like AC3 for example) it doesn´t support DTS.
This means, anything you can not play with the Samsung mediaplayer will use pure software-decoding, which is slow and burns a lot of energy.

This is no surprise. With software-decoding, which obviously isn´t fast enough, at least one, but probably both of the Cortex-A9-cores will run at full speed the whole time.
The reason for dedicated decoding-hardware in the SoCs instead just using more powerful general purpose CPUs is the much better energy-efficiency.

Yes, i thought the same, because it was so warm.
I used the Rockplayer, with it you can activate Hardware acceleration, but i don't know if it works.
Thought other players could use the hardware acceleration.
From now on, i will convert the DTS to AC3, but first of, i will look for stock AC3

Rockplayer can use hardware-acceleration, but only using the Android-Framework, which means hardware-acceleration will only work for the same containers/codecs as with the stock mediaplayer.

As I said Players can use hardware-acceleration, but they have to do it using the media-framefork, which means no hardware-acceleration for containers/codecs which aren´t supported in the media-framework.
In theory you could develop a mediaplayer with your own media-framework, directly programming the SoC.
But the question is how much of use it would anyway, could the hardware assist decoding for codecs which aren´t already present in the media-framework? It certainly could be useful for unsupported containers, that contain codecs which are already supported.
But the biggest problem would be that your new media-framework will only work with the phone you developed it, nobody will make android-software for just one phone out there.
That´s somewhat of the curse of the Android-plattform. It has been developed for maximum compatibility between the different devices out there. This means lots of choices in devices to buy for us, and for software-developers many devices that can run their software. But it also means we are not getting device-specific-software from 3rd-party developers.
Hopefully the Android-Framework at some time will split up the media-framework into "modules" similar to a DirectShow Filtergraph, so mediaplayers could exchange this individual modules and still use hardware-acceleration in others (which come from the device-manufacturer)
This would allow for example the support of different containers without losing hardware-acceleration in the decoding-part (if the codec is already supported), as well as doing audio-decoding in software (which could be quite reasonably done with 2 Cortex-A9-CPUs) and still using the hardware for the video-part.

I never hadany lag on the stock. Even the 1080 ones

Diceplayer use SoC's HW Decoder. + SW decoder for Audio.
check this video
After Diceplayer came out, all of android device that supported by diceplayer
can play MKV(H.264/MPEG-4+DTS/AC3).
Even Nexus-S can play MKV+DTS+H.264 High profile with Diceplayer.

mal-formatted mkv file can cause some lag.
H.264 need 2-type of frame time - PTS/DTS.
but some of MKVs have wrong time stamp.
SGS2's HW Video decoder can not handle these files.

[Q] Video playback fluidity / support on GN and over MHL?

All the reviews I have seen so far completely ignore media playback on the GN, or give it only a passing mention.
I'm really interested to know how well it handles media playback - AVI, MKV etc both on it's own screen, and over MHL to an HDMI connected screen - along with which specific MHL adaptor was used.
The SGS2 and HTC Sensation for example seem similar in spec, but when detailed reviews started coming in, it was clear the SGS2 was far superior in terms of media playback - both formats supported and fluidity of playback.
I'd love to get a GN, but I really need to know if the media playback is 'great' - and by great I mean 100% fluid on any reasonable file (up to 720p movies for example) - no skips, no out of sync etc... I'd also really like to know how well the MHL works in playing movies back on an HDMI connected screen - is it the same in terms of fluidity? What audio is sent over the cable?
Unfortunately here in New Zealand the device isn't released so I can't go try one myself, or else I would have already!
I'm not afraid of buying a good app if that's what it takes to have perfectly fluid playback - love to hear experiences with both the native and 3rd party payers on the GN.
Cheers - Neil G

I would also like to know about this.
Thanks

Theres a Diceplayer thread that says MKV work well, ive tried the trial version of it with 1 720p tv episode and it looked great.
not got any hdmi cables so cant test that but looked great on the phone.
AVI wasnt as good tho with what looked like a low fps problem.
do a forum search for Diceplayer for a bit more info.

Yea and the developer posted something about fixes for AVI, so that bug should be gone soon. Diceplayer might be the best choice for GN as of now.
EDIT: Actually MX Player seems to be updated and people are reporting better playback than Diceplayer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362375

It works fine over MHL and on Diceplayer, i've recorded a video of it.
Uploading atm, I have poor upload speed so it'll be a while till I can link you.

Help please
I really want to buy this phone but i'm waiting to see how the volume issue resolves. But one of my major considerations is video playback. I have a huge collection of blu ray rips(1080p and 720p) and most of them are .mkv; does the galaxy nexus natively support .mkv files? Is there any file size limit on videos i put in the device?(the rips range from 3gb to 10gb). I know that the galaxy nexus doesn't support USB mass storage... does that stop me from transferring natively unsupported file types to the phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe Nexus does have USB storage.
For the MKV, it does play them natively, can you post a short sample? We could then give it a try. Two players are supposed to be able to play with hardware acceleration: Diceplayer and MX Player.
From what I know, 720p is not a problem at all. 1080p, might depend on bitrate and other things.

Finally got the video uploaded.
Includes play of 720p + 1080p files.
Good value imo, works well and doesn't look or feel too cheap.

Thanks for the video samples!
Thankyou sir, that's _exactly_ what I was looking for. I think I see some jumpiness in the playback, but I suspect that's actually youtube's fault. Certainly seems to handle 720 and 1080 fine.
Could you link to the exact MHL adaptor your purchased please?

It was checking out my friend's Galaxy Nexus and we noticed he had to install the codec pack on Android Market for MX Player before it allowed HW-accelerated playback of the specific clip he used, even though it played back fine in the stock player (though no sound). With the codec pack he could set it to HW for the video and SW for the sound. In the end it worked out great and I was surprised, considering the table of supported formats on developer.android.com didn't list MKV + h.264 as a supported format.

I've been using Dice Player and MX Video Player for 720P .mkv files on both my Thunderbolt and Rezound. The Thunderbolt had sync issues(even overclocked). With the Rezound, most of the time playback is fine, but occasionally will have a slight sync issue here & there.
Considering the specs of both the Nexus and the Rezound though, even with a possible 'stock' issue, it'd just be a matter of eventually loading a custom ROM & some minor modifications/tweaks here & there.

Another video demo (though not specifically of the Nexus). MHL is just mirroring so there's no difference in playback. If it works on the phone, it's exactly the same mirrored.
I can also confirm that it natively plays back AVIs (Xvid), sample: http://www.multiupload.com/GML7HC3HHM

It's off ebay, item no 220897013161.
Can get the same thing a bit cheaper from HK if you're prepared to wait a few weeks.
The jumpiness might have been because I had a lot of apps open at the same time, I just tried playing back the same files and they were perfectly smooth with only the browser open.

Again, thanks OP - really great info and I've just ordered and paid for a Galaxy Nexus from Clove

Just an update to the 'clipping' on the home screen, you need to switch OFF 'overscan' in the TV menu settings, it should look like this:

Most of my files are MKV x264. 720p plays in hardware perfectly. I don't have many 1080p to try. also, 1080 move plays almost perfectly.
The only 1080p mkv x264 I have doesn't play in hardware for some reason.
Edit: MX Player seems best for me.

[Q]. Choppy Video Playback

I'm trying to play some blue ray rips on the GN but the playback is a hit or miss. Sometimes I get sound, sometimes I dont. At times the whole handset crashes when I click the play button and I am forced to take the battery out.
I installed MX player from the market and now I can play them fine, but only in SW Decoder & SW Decoder Fast. The HW Decoder lags, does any one else have this issue? Shouldnt the hardware decoder be much faster ? Maybe my GN is faulty?

i have had 2 GN's now and both of them were choppy in in mxplayer on HW but fine on SW. so not just you.

Cool. Thanks for that. Any idea why this is happening ? Also I can't seem to make Mx player go full screen and hide the on screen buttons, It did it on first launch but not anymore

Have you tried using dice player?

Yep, it lags as much as mx player does in HW decoding mode. Mx player with SW decoding is buttery smooth but I don't understand why

What file compression are you trying? I'm guessing you ripped it at 720 also?

dice player appears to play it fine on HW so im guessing its a problem with mxplayer.
also i have never got the menu buttons to go. it was bugging me also

I'm not sure if it would matter but do you know if its mp4 or .264? Also make sure you don't have any background operations happening.

yeah i was in trial mode also. dont know what to say. i was running a 720p mkv file as far as i know.

Yea mkv runs fine in hw. Its avi thats acting up in hw.

I just tested a few videos and it they both worked flawlessly on the stock video player and MX. My best guess would be that you may have something going on in the background thats using your cpu as well.

Perhaps that's why Tubemate stated that the highest resolution video for mobile phones are only for high resolution devices. So perhaps SGW isn't one of them.

Erm... This problem goes down to the chipset. The MSM8255T was never designed to handle 1080p. Adreno 205 cannot handle encoding and decoding of 1080p video. This makes it totally impossible for hardware decoding. You can only do it by software decoding (Untick hardware decoding, I called it software decoding since I don't know what other term should I use). Yet, our processor is not powerful enough to do the software decoding. I tried with VPlayer, 1080p does play but with laggggggggggggging video, audio is fine though.
EXTRA: For your information, Samsung Exynos chipset used in Galaxy S/Nexus S (means the phone earlier than ours, perhaps also an older chipset than ours, never verified this though) with the SGX540 GPU is designed to handle 1080p en/decoding. I'm not sure whether it works in Galaxy S or Nexus S but it's possible since their hardware is designed for that.
I did the reading quite sometime ago because I found out P1000 (Old Galaxy Tab) can handle 1080p with similar chipset (as Galaxy S/Nexus S). Just to help out a little bit =)

@FutureGamerz: a very interesting explanation! You have my thanks for that.

Thanks for all your response guys, but it would be nice for some kind of trick to enable hardware decoding, some kind of force script to enable always hardware decoder.

Movies on ascend P6

I have a problem. I copied 2 movies on sd card and tried to watch them today. One was brrip of 1.40gb and one dvdrip of 1.40 gb. Both movies were frameing with the default player. With mx player the things improved only a little when i was using S/W decoder but it still wasn't near to being fluent. What's the problem with this device. I thought it plays even 1080p videos fluent. Can somebody help me with an advice?Maybe i did something wrong?

Certain codecs are missing from android, meaning that h/w can't be used to play them. 1080p is not that easy to play when there is no GPU supporting the CPU. *.mkv and *.mp4 files should play fine, since those both are usually h264.
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

So this means .mkv and mp4 will play fluid till 1080p and files that are lower resolution than hd but are .avi will play jerky? No solution for these ones to play fluid? I tried with mx player (arm v7 neon) but almost the same.only a bit better.

The problem is they weren't even hd. this is the file name "Jack.Reacher.2012.BRRip.XviD.AC3.RoSubbed-playXD.avi" 1.46gb and i verified also its resolution which is 720x300 or something like that. That's why i am confused. Low resolution like this should play without a problem even if it does use software decoding right?

It should, even with software decoding. Seems weird, I have no idea.

I think it only shows battery temp.

I use mine for playing movies and have not had any problems even with the avi. The only issue I have is when streaming anything that is 720 or over. The nexus 7 seems to be able to play anything I throw at it over the network when the P6 some times stutters.
