I downloaded a .wmv format HD (not porn ) movie and xferred to my HOX... but i can hear only sound, and no Video is there... tried with MX Player as well as stock player... any suggestions on this please
In MX Player, did you long press the video then select Play... and then S/W decoder? Not had a video it can't handle yet

it did the trick
Yep, i find MX player to be the best. Some formats work but the sound is out of sync but a quick play with the settings fixed it where as other players couldn't.
This is I think the fourth thread asking the same thing within a week..
MOD please close the thread

Thanks for your input, but have you read my 1st post....?
Diceplayer works but I can't use Google's Checkout so I'm looking for alternatives.
So far I've tried: QQPlayer, Moboplayer, Mx Video Player, RockPlayer, BSplayer and Vplayer.

you can't purchase anything from the market place?????
dice player can be purchased on the market place.
Exactly...I can't purchase anything from the Market.
Do you use dice player ? If so, do you also find the volume of AC3 too low or is it just me.....(I used dice player trial to test it)

AC3 through 'stereo' is always quite. at least, 'quiter' then intended. reason being is that AC3 is a format in which the audio is split into multiple channels rather then just the standard 2 channel stereo.
when you attempt to play an AC3 via stereo it then compresses the channels down to 'stereo' and in the process it loses a bit(which is why it gets quiet).
I can play h.264 720p mkv's with ES Explorer's video player... I doubt it's the best player but was a bit impressed that it decoded them fine.

How do I choose ES Explorer's player ? It doesn't give me this option. (btw ICS player h.264 with no problem in default player, the whole problem is with AC3 sound....have you tried mkv with ac3 ? )

I didn't realise h.264 was native and no, I not tried with AC3.
For ES I just select a video, long press, open-as, video, ES Player.

I wasn't sure anymore so I've tried it. It turns out I did test it before....same problem as with i.e. Vplayer no Hardware decoding and Software decoding is too slow for 720p playback. Although AC3 plays fine in software mode.
OK guys, I have found the answer on my own...
MX Video Player in SW Fast Mode plays MKV(h.264 in 720p) with AC3 with almost no fps loss.

This works indeed but not on all my videos....
To sum up: MX Video Player = best free player.
So if you set Video on [HW] and Sound on [SW] it works on most MKV videos with x264 and AC3 but on some files the video and audio are out of sync then you need to change the Video to one of the two [SW] modes.
my Nexus' keeps freezing up whenever i try to play one of these 720P (ac3) .mkv files. once it's frozen i can't do anything with the phone and then have to pull the battery. even in that MX video player... it'll show that it's attempting to open the video and then BAM!.. frozen.
it's funny because the Rezound can handle these files no problem in multiple apps(Dice Player, Mobo Player, MX Video Player).. so why is it such a pain with the Nexus?
Hello guys, any Video Player which can play all video files I think its Mx or Power Amp which one play every video file..please help me...
Try MoboPlayer or arcMedia.

i am using moboplayer for my sgy, its very good and it has screen lock option which is very useful while watching videos
MX Player is a good one, it could play any video formats and with HW accel (less lag than SW) and a touch lock feature
I recommend DAROON PLAYER
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
sir if i play 720p or 1080p videos on mx there is a lag in the video in sw mode..............how to fix it sir!!!!!!!!!!!!
mx video player is good ,yes it hangs a bit in 720 p and above(may be due to lack of sufficient hardware support) but is still an advanced player as compared to others even has a pinch to zoom function
is there any other option to play a 700mb file in it??
Anyone found apps that play 720p mkv smoothly? (Type of stuff you get off the internet..)

I use my movie player, works quite nicely with 720p
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
I use Mx player.
You can even choose between HW acceleration or SW acceleration.

MX Player here. Uses HW acceleration, super smooth. Tried Dice Player and VPlayer, had lots of bugs on audio and video was not very smooth.

I tried MxPlayer and DicePlayer and found that DicePlayer gives me better image quality and plays everything I feed it without any problems.
My tip is to try out both Mx and DicePlayer.
bsplayer
I tried MX Player it failed to play MOV format (1080p) it was a trailer later I tried Mobo Player it works like a charm.
I've noticed the same with those players, that they support different formats, so there is no single best player really.
Like someone mentioned, MOV plays nicely with one or two players, while MKV plays nicely with few others.
I simply use 2 players which support all file formats I use.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I find these two very good: DicePlayer and MX Player, also heard BS Player to be very good too.

Built in HTC Video player for both mkv (720p &1080p) as well as FLVs downloaded from YouTube. I have dice just in case, but had no reason to use it yet

I would rather use the stock player too, but unfortunately it plays my mkv files without sound.
Which would be the better option? Converting the file to fit the stock player, or use players like MX Player to play those files?
Thanks
MX Player. Can switch between SW and HW decoding on the fly, and you can choose for the audio to be SW or HW too, independant of video decoding.
Yeah been using MX for a while, just concern that whether there are any compromises in sound quality when playing mkv with SW acceleration instead of HW

I've never needed to go SW sound before so I can't really say.
I've got a few 720p mkv videos and it doesn't play with sound if it's in HW mode.
The only way for me to play it with sound now is to set it to SW (fast mode or normal one).
So right now I'm just wondering if it's better to re-encode the audio so that the stock player can play it in HW, or just use MX Player and play it in SW.
Will do some experiments after I get back from work

MX can do separate encode modes for video and audio. You can run video on HW and audio on SW if you want.
Dice player plays it all but there is only one little problem with it. While playing videos there are 3 white dots (menu) remain on screen......i hope its updated soon.

It can play in random mode, but it can play only stock format, such as mp4... I wish it was as powerful as MX player...

Oh! I need a video player powerful like MX player and It can play in random mode! And that is... MX player! Press long next button, and I can choose between shuffle mode or loop mode! But, maybe it's too difficult to find it... So, now, I have a perfect video player lol!
random=yes!
THANK YOU!
And I agree--the "random" feature is way too hard to find on MX player. Seriously--I never would have thought to press longer on the next button.
What I think would make more sense is, a selection at the top of the file folder list that says "shuffle"--then you click on that and it plays a random file.
:good:
Is there any way to add additional codecs on to the stock video player?
If not, is there another video player that would work like the stock video player that could shrink the video player on to home screen for multitasking purposes?
The reason is that I have a lot of mkv and rmvb videos, and don't really want to go through the hassle of coding all of them.

The best one at the playstore is MX Player Pro, I think it even plays more formats than
the stock video player and it looks almost the same but it has a lot more features on options.
The MX Player Pro does have a different codec for different phones,
if I recall it automatically downloads/install the correct one.
It plays mkv, rmvb and just about any and all other formats.
I never found a video which it cannot play.
Here is the playstore link so you can check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
Its really excellent.

I've been using MX Player Pro too, just that I want to be able to really utilize Note 3's multi tasking features more. The Note 3's video player has a pop out feature when it'll shrink and continue playing on your home screen while you do other stuff. Just wondering if there's any other video player that could do that too.
