MX Player - DTS Fix - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
Not sure this has been posted before but I was having trouble with MX Player 1.7.7 having no sound when trying to play an mkv with dts.
After a bit of searching I found a post on here with the solution. Thought Id post it here because forum member ypocat posted codecs for the Note 2 that work. I have tested it and MX Player is now working brilliantly.
Any way if this has been posted before apologies, if it hasnt I hope it helps some of you out as it did with me.

No sound via HDMI/MHL

Hi
finally got an MHL cable and hdmi , seems to work fine but when i played videos i have no idea why but their's no sound
anyone have similar issue ?
Switch players. More than likely your video player doesn't support the file type or is missing some codecs. Try Dice player from the market. Seems to be the best player out right now.

Original Video Player

Guys, sorry I am newbie with my HOAX,
First, just sharing mine is SH23LW, is it the best or less issue? so far i can't find the problem (or maybe i miss something)
second, my original video player can't play HD res., especially when i play my video file which is downloaded from youtube.. Thanks for the answer
No idea if your version is going to be immune from the gamut of issues people have reported. Guess time will tell.
Regarding your video playback issue though, try out MX Player. Has been able to able to play anything I've chucked at it so far!

Agreed. MX Player is decent.

Video player that can decode DTS (solved)!

Most of my videos are blu-ray rips. They are encoded in .mkv format and have DTS audio tracks. My on board video player will play the video but not the audio. The same thing appears to be true of the app MX Video. How do you guys play HD videos with digital audio tracks?
You post way to many questions. Google man.

It's a really new device, and there aren't a lot of discussions.
Solved.
I followed Randles' advice in the two posts on this page. It worked.

Randles replies to a post that includes a link to download a custom codec for MX Player (post #62), and then Randles shows you how to install the codec (post #66). With this codec installed, I can now play mkv's with dts audio tracks using MX Player on my Note 2. Success!
Download the codec for MX Player in post #62 and follow the instructions in post #66 to install it.

you mind sharing your exact settings and the exact codec you used?
I followed his instructions but my Dark Knight Rises 1080P is really choppy despite sound working
using h/w decode video / s/w audio ..but video is very choppy.
Thanks in advanced!
Hope this helps.
The only thing in settings I have checked in use SW video

[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

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

Codecs for Samsung tab pro 8.4

Hi guys I've read everywhere, but have not found a solution yet. I previously had a nexus 7 and it played almost everything with MX player. Now that I have this Samsung tablet almost any movie will not play. I have already converted videos, installed MX player, BSplayer , VLC, etc.. I hace also downloaded the Codec pack for MX player (apparently in the last update they were removed for license isues or something like that). Is there anything else you can suggest. Please advise as I wanna use the tab for movies for the amazing screen. Please let me know. Thanksin advance.

A search on the parent forum for ac3 codec will give you solutions. The simple way for me was simply to uninstall MX and reinstall a previous version without the codecs removed. I tried VLC for android and it seems to play everything but prefer MX
This link will take you to a previous version that works. You cannot do any updates to MX however if you go this route.

Actually, you can get additional codec for MX Player through Play Store (Neon codec).
