Any1 here had any success playing 4k vids on the exynos variant? If so pls link the video u played.
My note cant handle 4k mp4's recorded with note 3 w/o significant stutter/very low fps and sound cutting off, tried BSS, Vplayer, MX and Archos (with codecs, and both H/W & S/W decoding if available, closing all background apps, etc).
I'll try converting 4k vids to 1600p, if possible, with Vegas 12 later today..
We have an amazing display with a decent SoC, i'd really like to see what its capable of at maximum resolution, 1080p just doesnt cut it.
I tried 4K video on youtube (via flash player inside Firefox) on Note 10.1 2014.
Result: Crash.
1080p plays fine using the exact same pathway.
Youtube app will not even enable selecting the original 4K video version inside youtube.
i thought they posted a while back that the exynos5 note 3 couldn't playback the superhd videos it took so it shouldn't be a surprize that this one won't either. kinda odd that they can't though.
The Exynos 2014 Note 10.1 can play back 2 Full-HD streams simultaneously without any hickup. 4K playback might be a bit too much.

Hello, currently I am using the Galaxy S II (1.5ghz Qualcomm S3 version). It almost play 720p MKV videos with RockPlayer, but not quite, since the audio lags behind the video.
Can someone give RockPlayer a try with some hd MKV files on their Nexus and see if it can handle them? Low bitrates will manage, but I'm looking at 720p and 1080p MKV videos at 2000kbps or more.
I am interested in waiting for the American version of the Galaxy Note, but it will also use the Qualcomm S3 chip, which means even though it has a larger screen, it won't play be playing my videos. If the Nexus can manage these videos, I rather get it instead.
There are some legal hd videos such as big buck bunny, which can be converted from MP4 to MKV.
(PS. Yes I want to watch HD videos on my cellphone screen.)
I am the same way. I play 720P .mkv on my phone. i currently have the Rezound(the Nexus is not available in the US yet). When i was using the Thunderbolt, it would play these files, but unless i overclocked the phone it would play out-of-sync(but even then, it would still be slightly out-of-sync).
On the Rezound, 99% of the time the files play just fine(no sync issues). I found that the best player to use is 'Dice Player', followed by MX Video Player.
I did say "99%", and yeah.. for some reason, on rare occasions a video will start to slip out-of-sync, and when it does it's with MX Video Player.. but if do it through Dice Player it plays fine.
I will say though that having 'Sense' on this phone isn't exactly a big plus when it comes to try to getting the best performance out of it. Luckily, the Nexus doesn't have Sense.
I have done a few BluRay rips to 1280x720 (native nexus) and they play on the Galaxy Nexus perfectly using build in player. Much, much better than they ever did on my 10.1 tablet. No issues at all.
The scene I use for test is the bit in Inception where the tables explode in the cafe, this really makes some struggle. No prob on the nexus, very impressed.

MX Player seemed to have more options on when to use hardware decoding than QQ Player has in that video. You could have hardware video decoding while also running software audio decoding.
Hi,
So I tried playing a 720p mkv video the other day buy I noticed that it was stuttering with sw acceleration and hw acceleration did not work. How come our note can play 1080p mp4 files with no problems yet has can't play even 720p mkv without stuttering? Liscenceing issues?

My note 2 will not play 720p MKV's in the stock app. It will play in software mode in MXPlayer, but not in HW mode. In hardware mode it behaves the same as the stock video player... about one frame a second. I'm still researching, because 1080p files recorded with the phones camera play perfectly. I suspect it's a codec issue. It might not accelerate H264 encoded streams within MKV containers.
LG G4
Tried playing 4K video on my G4 and it could not handle it... only sound kept coming... *.mkv format is what I tried.
INstalled MX Player with Customer DTS codec support.. tried all..nothing helped!!!!
Please provide some help and I downloaded videos from Youtube 4K Resolution ones...
So it sounds like you downloaded a video but you don't have the codecs.
Is this happening with all videos?
I would imagine that you are able to play them just fine on youtube?
I hate to break it to you, but you won't get quicker/better responses based on how much larger you make your text.
Yes 4k does not play and but 2k(1440p) plays fine in ma youtube... But once downloaded cannot play 1440p videos using any player.. tested mx, dice, bs and stock player too
I have found the issue in playing the 4k and 2K videos I downloaded from Youtube.
I downloaded MKV format which was the culprit... 2k and 4k mp4 formats work fine... mkv works only till 1080p.. may be a codec for mkv should be released for ARM V8

You know that our phones has a 1440p display, right?

I tried 4K video on VLC with enabled Full HW acceleration and without single lag
test video here: http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=149'
every video with 60+MB/s bandwith (ofc depends on storage speed, on my Samsung 32GB EVO+ even 70MB/s plays without problems) is laggy 10 bit HEVC is not playing H264 works without problems
YT 4K videos works also on VLC...
same problem
Only 4k video with h264 of codec
Maybe it's too late to reply but the fact that LG G4 only supports 4K video in h264 (mp4) format. You should convert the video with your PC (i recommends Handbrake) select 2160p profile and do some edits or you can convert with any software. Make sure the files converted to mp4. The only one reason if you downloaded a 4k youtube video and it can't directly played on G4 is just because youtube codec for 4k isn't h264 as like 1080p or lower but webm.
hello all... i m facing a strange lag in my htc m9. currently running Viper one m9 4.3.0. but i have tested with stock rom also , that, i cannot play 4k videos smoothly which i'have downloaded from youtube. i moved that video to my device memory, then opened it with mx player. that video is only playable with mx's SW mode but veryyyyy slowly. both the HW/HW+ mode says "not supported" what can i do to play those 4k videos smoothly in my device? please..T.I.A.
The M9 have an 1080p display, so 4k videos, even 2k videos won't look better than 1080p videos...
You can download the videos at full hd resolution from youtube, you will save space too.
The problem is mxplayer. Because it is downscaling the video from 4k to 1080p on the fly via software it can only convert so much in so little time and that causes it to pause while it converts.
You will find that youtube servers do the bitrate at their end so even if the video says 4k, if you play it via the YouTube app you'll only get the max resolution that your device can handle, in this case 1080p as that is all your device can do.

What about vlc player?
It might work, it might not..
Not a pleasant surprise, that this mid-2021 near top 700-class snappy is not able to play 4 year old 4K60 videos recorded with cpu-wise much weaker SoCs. Even A51 Exynos 9611 could play 4K120.
Should be considered if buying this phone...
Yes it can handle it. using VLC and not having a single problem.
The hardware can definitely handle it but does the app have the correct codecs to play it? Have you tried playing it in VLC? Can't really help more than that at this point.
It is h.265 HVEC 3840x2160 60 FPS with up to 50mbps. VLC or MX can only play it through SW with stutter.
If VLC doesn't work, try Mx Player with the proper codecs
I have attached a small example. Playing flawless on Poco F1.
Which codec should I choose. Thanks.

I tested your video, on my A52s and works fine, i use the app "xplayer" and the "VLC".
Xplayer works.
