Quick question for you gentlemen regarding video playback. I have some 720p mkv files on my media server and am having issues playing them back on any ics rom. They play perfect on nearly any player on touchwiz and flawless on vplayer in hardware mode on cm7. Anyone have any ideas on what I could do for cm9 to have the same playing capability? I hate touchwiz but the camera and video work flawless on it and seems like it may be the best bet for me atm.
have u tried flashing some of the other kernels?

That won't matter

As marc said it doesn't matter but yes I have since I like to play with most major roms and kernels released. About to test miui b1 in a bit but I doubt it'll make any difference still I was just hoping a dev had some insight on this.
does cm9 not do hw decoding?
the option is greyed out on mine
on vplayer it allows the option and seems like it tries. mx player not so much. not having much luck with vlc either.
That's weird because they work fine over here on mx player.. did you search mkv video player in the market

well again ill say I've tried mx player (with codec packs and without(, the latest vlc nightly, and I own the pro version of vplayer. I tried with vplayers old codec packs and its built in. hw displays 0 picture with vplayer and stutters heavily on vplayer. the isn't that it can't play the file, the issue is it doesn't play it as it does on cm7 and tw. these are 720p video files with fast action. and not anime stuff.
vplayer works great on cm7 but doesn't play in hw mode on cm9. the stock video player on tw works best, but vplayer also works on tw pretty well too. mx is lame sauce.
i get a no picture on vplayer also
the video im using doesnt have any weird encoding options either; its just a video i downloaded off of youtube, so pretty standard
is this just a bug with cm9? maybe it needs to be reported. i dont see anyone mention it in the tracker

Can someone suggest me a nice video player app. I'm using rock player atm but it gives a lot of issues playing 1080p mp4 and 480p mkv files. The audio and video are completely out of sync. Any solutions for this??
DicePlayer
Try Playerpro. One of the best, both when it comes to music and video. I used to have two separate players for music and video, but not anymore

Vplayer is good, but the problem with that is only stock Samsung Video Player supports hardware acceleration. Others don't.

Thats not true.
MX Player, Diceplayer, VPlayer (just to name a few) do HW decoding as well.
IMO these 3rd Party Players are pretty similar, atm Im going with MX
mVideopPlayer or Mobo
Hey guys!
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a couple days now, and I was thinking of loading it up with some movies I have at home. The problem is, I've ripped the movies in 720p .mp4 format on my Mac - but it won't play with the stock ICS player.. Rock Player works sort of, it shows video but it doesn't hide the on-screen buttons.
Rip details is: 720p h.264, AAC audio
Any ideas?

Yeah, stock gallery doesnt play wide range of codecs yet so I rely on MX player instead. But having the same problem tho about the on screen buttons :/
I find that the "dice" player from android market plays more stuff than any thing i can get straight .mkv files running perfect on my GN it is a paid app for the full version but im happy with it.

Do you have the stay-on-screen-buttons problem on Dice Player?
The only player that plays movies in full screen is Dice Player....but it has been removed from the market.
Have you tried Mobo Player? Works great on my Nexus S with mkv/mp4/whatever.

It needs some codec (which cannot find in market) to download first in order to use it...
Make sure you use the right mp4 level I think level 4 is the Max android will recognize all my encodes work so far

I'm using MX video player and MX Video Player CODEC.
Doubletwist is also very good.
All available from the market and have had no issues playing anything so far.

Cool, I forgot about Doubletwist, thanks.
I currently use QQPlayer, Diceplayer premium and Rockplayer. They all seem to play some files and not others.
I tried Moboplayer but ran into trouble installing the codec during the install process (even when installing 'offline')

Update - I just tried Doubleplayer, and while it plays everything it stuggles at times. More jerky (lower frame rate?) than QQPlayer.
I'd be happy with QQPlayer but the seek doesn't play nice. So if I miss something I have to start the video from scratch. And like I say, Dice, Mobo, Rockplayer and Realplayer (yes I was desperate) all appear to have various problems of their own.
I do recall VLC being released a year or so ago. But I guess it was pulled too?
I'd love to know if anyone has found a decent video app... (*I have a 4.5 hour daily commute into London!*)
Dice Player ftw!

Many people reported that it crashes on ICS, is that happened to you too?
Hi,
I have tried ICS 0.10b. I liked it very much. But the main issue for me is that, I cant play video in any of the video players. The audio plays well, but cant see any thing except a blurry image. Do any one has the same problem ?
I have tried MX player, stock player and ex media player. Every player has the same problem.
Can any one please help me...?
--Thanks,
Ajith
You have to choose software accelerated decoding when that happens. It's an option at least of MX-player. The downside is audio unsync.
QQPlayer (free on the market) also does software-accelerated decoding - and it can show embedded subtitles from .mkv files.
Hi
Unfortunately Sandvolds ICS rom does not handle video decoding very good at the monent - hopefully they will get it fixed...
QQplayer is also my best bid at the moment, even though it is not perfect. It is the only one i can get to play video at just an 'acceptable' quality.
/Michael
Thanks
Thank you all for your support
Hope this in my upcoming queries also..
As for me VPlayer is the best
I have a pretty big collection of HD movies with DTS soundtrack and none of the common media players like MX player or QQ player and even the stock samsung player could decode DTS. I looked around in the interwebs and came across VLC player beta which gets the job done. Also it is pretty good at playing back high bitrate videos where others players stutter a lot or wont even open the file. For example this 40 mbps sample
http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/h264_1080p_hp_4.1_40mbps_birds.mkv
Just install as a regular app from any file manager.
TIP: Enable HW acceleration in settings for smooth 1080p playback
VLC is not yet available in play store for US and Canada. Hope a stable version is released soon.
Your the man, been wanting this forever! I have a ton of high bit rate videos in mkv format.
Does it get updated constantly? Last time I tried vlc beta I was on the g2 and it honestly ducked. Coming from using vlc on all my computers it just Sucks on the phone.

Without a market link I have no way to tell if this is regularly updated. But the way it is now it comes handy for me due to the unique capabilities I mentioned in the OP, and I havent had any issues using it.
giving it a try, seems pretty good so far. I also tried it back on my GSII (tmobile) and it was buggy and unreliable
Really no need for this...V Player has been getting the job done for the past few years now

V player is a paid app, and it has some issues like audio out of sync especially if you play over network from a Windows share.

Well, this player wont play my mkv's. Choppy, pixelated. The built in video player, believe it or not, is the ONLY player I can find that works. Not that that is an issue or anything, only sucks if I want to run CM10. Thanks for the post anyways!

V Player doesn't work for me either. Maybe my videos are to high def, IDK, but nothing will play them. They are all 720 and 1080.

Did you enable hw acceleration in the preferences? I tried several formats including mkv, m2ts, mp4 etc and everything has worked well so far, 720p and 1080p. But anyways mkv is just a container and its possible your videos are encoded in some strange format.

Found out today this player can even decode lossless multichannel formats like DTS master HD and Dolby tru HD. That's very impressive! Nothing it couldn't handle so far.

Works real nice for me with one exception on .3gp files. The sound is horrible with those files and I tried all three options for audio in Preferences. The only other thing that annoys is that box that opens every single time you open or back out. Any way to disable that, I can't find one? There was someone in France who was working on his own hack that I used on my Vibrant. I'll have to see if those will work for my S3. Anyway, I've got to keep an eye on this, it is really awesome although not finished.
I have found it doesn't work on S3 with hardware acceleration for certain codecs like wmv3.
Also, just FYI, if you have Settings > Sounds > Auto Haptic ON
VLC will vibrate entire time audio is playing (not movies), but this is also
true with winamp on S3.
Also note that you should get the VLC beta for Neon nightly builds and
that the Play Store is disabled for download from US and Canada until full
release, so you have to get .apk from the nightly builds.

I actually found two other non-official versions (one is the nightly) and one of those is running really well although I'd really like to disable the Toast Frame that says it's a Beta. I may try Andridu's version that I used to have on my Vibrant. It didn't have that.
After installing CM10 MX Player no longer plays the avi files I have. MX previously played these files fine in stock Sense, Vplayer will play the files but sluggishly so it isn't the files.
Could it have anything to do with the imagesense chip HTC use?

Thanks for the recommendation it works great it even supports hw decoding ( vplayer didn't) it's just such a weird bug I was curious if anyone knew anything.

Same thing happening on aokp jellybean mxplayer won't play some files. Probably an mxplayer isue
Troubles with sound
Confirming... Probably all ROMs based on CM10 such as MIUI clons, JB derivates, etc., doesn't contain some audio codec. Video plays fine but without sound.
