I'm trying to play some 1080P videos on the ouya but they lag like hell on XBMC.
I thought the tegra 3 was fast enough to play full 1080 or am I incorrect?
Anyone playing full 1080p videos on it smoothly?

I have heard people playing 1080p fine. Are you using the stagefright build? And what are you playing them off of (Streaming from computer wirelessly, USB hard drive, etc)?

I just tried playing a 1080p some movies using Dice player and it's able to play relatively smoothly (can't get menus to show up while playing).
I'm using the default xbmc-12.2-Frodo-armeabi-v7a and it's lagging like crazy.
Oh and i'm playing the videos off a USB hard drive.
You need to use the Gotham release with stagefright. It has hardware acceleration and should be able to play them fine. Try the newest one from here:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/
actually I think you need one from here that includes stagefright (so I assume the SF ones).

Thx I'll give it a shot the next chance I get.
I hope I can get it to play 3d 1080p properly but I be happy for just 1080p atm.

Depends on what sort of "3D" you're talking about.
All the 3D releases I have are in SBS format, which means they're actually just regular 1080P videos with weird looking content.
Your 3D hardware is the thing that unpacks SBS video into actual 3D, so you don't need anything special on the player.
My Ouya can play my 1080P SBS videos just fine, and my projector handles the 3D part, works great

Well 1080p is now playing properly with the new experimental version of XBMC.
I tested the 3d 1080P version of avatar that I have and unfortunately it lags. Has a slight constant stuttering in the video.
That film in particular gave me trouble even on my computer (with 16 GB of RAM and an i7 CPU). Something about the audio track in the two releases I got.
I was able to fix it by taking the DTS track off the 2D version I have and combine that with the 3D SBS video track.
I don't honestly know why it was jacked up. You using a Side-By-Side encoded copy, or what?

Yes it was a Side-By-Side encoded version.
When I get some time I'll test out some other 3d movies to make sure it's not just some one off problem. But like I said, my wdtv live plays it fine.

Are you actually able to play back any 1080p vc-1 videos. I installed this build which works fine on h.264, but vc-1 gives black screen with audio. bsplayer does same.
Both apps work well on tf700 tegra3.

I don't have any vc-1 format videos, but plenty of 1080p, and I have only had issues with one which was 32+ GB. The video would go corrupt every 5 seconds but it streamed at high fps and good audio, so I am guessing it was some kink that has yet to be worked out or an oddly encoded video file. I have played others that were ~17 GB and they play fine. Which build of Gotham are you on?

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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone,
I first got to say that I have not yet purchased GalaxyNexus. However I have a big concern in regards to 720p HD video files from the net. I realized this on my Galaxy Tab10.1 after I bought it that most HD files need to be re-encoded in order to run without lag or being choppy. I was very disappointed with that.
Would someone tell me how is the performance of mkv files on GalaxyNexus.
Thanks.

Whether it plays depends on a lot of things. The video format, (MKV is just a container), the audio format and most importantly the bitrate. A lot of desktop PCs will chunder along if the bitrate is too high for it's hardware to handle, so a phone will struggle even more.
The bottleneck seems to be the speed of the internal storage, for me. It plays stuff flawlessly, but if I play a 1080p file with a super high bitrate, it's all choppy.

The problem is the dev's actually. The account he was using to receive payment for the full version got suspended (for whatever reason), and due to that he isn't able to continue selling the full version anymore. If you were an early adopter (like I was, due to having a Asus Transformer), it's a non-issue because you already bought it. I'm not sure why the dev is taking forever to fix the issue.
EDIT:And on that note, I also must say that all MKV files I have downloaded work perfectly fine on my nexus using diceplayer. Both 720P and 1080P (only tried 1, just to see if it worked, since it is rather pointless unless you're outputting to a TV) work just fine and without any issues for me. I haven't tried any strangely encoded files yet, but so far all normal HDTV encoded files worked just fine.

It's smooth once it get's hardware decoded.
No smartphone processor can decode 1080p without lag, which is exactly why OMAP put an IVA-HD chip inside to do all the work.
Much like the rest of the members I use dice player and it plays everything i throw at it. I use to have an issue with 12mbps MP4 files but they seem to have corrected that and now it is smooth for everything i throw at it.

I used the handbrake part of the lifehacker guide on ripping blu-rays. http://lifehacker.com/5559007/the-hassle+free-guide-to-ripping-your-blu+ray-collection. Streamed and transcoded over Plex, it works nicely.
I just use the android tablet (on the latest version) and that generates mp4 files that play without issues on my Nexus. Dunno if there are other adjustments for even better quality video.
I may be the oddball here, but I have been finding that the N7 (with MXPlayer or VLC) will play 99% of HD files directly without conversion. There IS the issue of file space, but if your goal is the best video quality and aren't concerned about storage, then playing the original file and not transcoding it seems to be the way to go.
That said, I really can't see the difference between a 1080p and 720p encode, so I DO transcode to save space on the device. I have been using Handbrake with a 720p preset (can't remember what it is at the moment...) and they look great!
The hardware decoder works well up to H.264 high profile level 4.1. From my own tests it will start dropping frames at level 5.0.

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.

Do any of you guys use your Nexus 7 2013 for 1080p videos? It seems that my device isn't able to play 1-2 hr 1080p resolution videos at all through VLC. VLC has no problem playing 720p videos. For 1080p, I get audio but the video doesn't play at all. If I decrease play speed to something less than normal speed, the nexus is able to keep up and play it at a reduced speed, so I'm unsure if it's a VLC issue or if the nexus is just not capable of doing 1080p.
Let me know what your experiences are with 1080p video playback!
I can't recall ever having issues but I'm also not 100% certain I've ever played a 1080p video. I'll toss one on and test it in a little bit. Is it only VLC that's having the issue? And what format is the video you're trying to play? I assume you've tested multiple video files and also played them on another device to make sure it's not the files that are bad?
Just tested a 1080p movie with VLC and it worked fine.
The 1080p videos I tried to play are mp4 files. I don't know enough about videos to find out encoding these files are in (if that even matterS), but they're pretty large at 1.8GB and 1.6GB. I will try another 1080p video I downloaded a while ago.
Out of curiosity, what version of VLC are you running? Mine is VLC v0.9.10 Revision 630a95b (2014-10-16)

I just tested a different 1080p movie and it worked fine. I guess there's something wrong with some of these video files I have. Thanks for your help!
Yeah I figured that's all it was. Not sure what version VLC I'm on, but its the latest. Just reinstalled it the other day.
Try using Mx-player. So far it played everything I threw at it. (1080p)

VLC is MUCH better than MX Player. It's pretty much the de-facto king of video players, on any platform. Besides, he already solved his problem, it was a bad file.
That might be true on other platforms but on Android I had it constantly crashing or not playing some files whereas mx-player played everything.
Just saying you could give it a try. I've been using vlc since way back on pc and I am still using it, just not on Android. (but granted I haven't tried the last release)
