MX Player H/W+ no sound - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently just changed to the S4 mini and so far no complaints. I use MX player a lot to watch films etc off the internet and after using the H/W+ decoder the video plays fine but there's no audio, had anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance

It just means your hardware decoder has no support for the audio codec your video is currently playing.

Would it be worth getting the codec pack that can be downloaded I think its a arm7 version it suggests.

You could give it a try - no harm in that. I think there's a NEON package as well try that

i used mxplayer but switched to diceplayer as it lets you play in pop-out video while checking e-mail etc
BSplayer can play video in "external mode", so everywhere, while you are surfing, reading email etc... and you can resize, pause or clse the video.
MXplayer doesnt provide this feature.

MX is renowned as the best video player in Android

I found Dice WITH the use of an externel ffmpeg lib (nathan118 to be more specific) to be the best one for me (read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769799)

in fact like others i use both
i have got no problem with video format in BSplayer.
I use diceplayer because with the plug in I can play files with DTS sound
I recommend super video the video floats over your current task its also resizable n the best thing about it is its free!!!

BSPlayer, by far.
Mkv at 1080p with audio DTS, flawlessly.
I bought bs player pro, but had problems with it in 4.2, dice player is what I'm using now for smb streaming

DicePlayer is my favourite. Smooth and you can activate Plugins if you need to.
I use vplayer

I use mxplayer and have no complaints. Love it.

I use BS Player because it read everything well and has a LAN Mode. But the UI is horrible.
My combo: BSplayer (soft decode) for WMV + DICE Player for everything else

[Q] Any workaround with subtitles over HDMI?

Hi,
I am trying to watch an 720p mkv video over MHL but the subtitles are not showing on my TV. I know that there is a general issue with that but do you know any custom ROM or any fix that can solve that problem? Thanks!
Have you tried using BSPlayer Free from the Play Store? I don't have a TV on hand to test it out, but as far as I remember, it works with subtitles over MHL. It's a really good app.
Yes I have tried it. It works only with SW decoder but it is pointless to watch an 720p movie in SW mode. I am asking about hw acceleration
Are you sure we're talking about the same app here? BSPlayer works in HW accelerated mode for 720p (and 1080p) MKVs for me.

It has been so since S2 gingerbread. If HW acceleration is used, it would only transfer the HW layer to the HDMI. In SW mode, the SW layer would be transfered. It doesn't seem to be able to transfer both.
Please note that the subtitle is always rendered in the SW layer so when HW is used, players would render the subtitle in SW layer on top of the HW layer.
I wonder if the same thing is true if Allshare Cast is used.

Hmm in my old optimus 2x I had not this problem. Ofcourse optimus 2x had a mini hdmi port and I was using an hdmi cable and not mhl... I hope they will fix it soon because this function is prety much useless for people speaking other language than English. Do you know if the problem persists also in jb 4.2?

I've used dice player recently and in settings it claims to have a mode that works with Samsung phones and hdmi. I don't have a hdmi out for my note ii yet. Can someone give dice player a go and let me know?

I tried it but for a strange reason it cannot play the 720p video on my phone. It says that " This video cannot be played" . Have you tried to play mkv video?

[Q] unable to play mkv in mx, but stock player plays some?

This is driving me nuts, got the 8 as an anime player since the tegra processor in the nexus played mkvs well, thought this would too. Nope, mxplayer errors outon all videos, and what is odd is the stock video player plays half of them but not all. It isnt an issue with 10bit, as it will play a 10bit cile I have but some older ones it only will play a few of them. How would I go about finding the cause and fixin it?
Try change to s/w decoder not sure if you have tried it, its default setting is h/w
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk 2
For some reason h/w mode gives problems on almost all my videos. Weird glitches like audio and video being WAY out of sync and s/w mode fixes all that.

[Q] Freeze while playing video

Hi all,
I just changed my tab 7.7 for the Note 8, but I'm quite disappointed. Using the same video player (MX Player) the video freeze, or many square appear. Everytime I have to reboot my tablet before watching movie, even task killers doesn't help...
My tablet run stock ROM, I only rooted it.
Does somebody have the same issue?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Why mx player? The default video player parts most files well.
In mx player try HW decoding
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk 2
Have you tried BS player? I've not had any issues with that and I think it's better then mx. What file types are you having issues with?
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app
Thank you, I think the stock player can do it very well but I don't know I was use to MX Player.
I activated HW decoder, it's much better now.
Thank you for you help

MX Player alternatives for Android 4.3

I just installed Android 4.3 on my nexus 4, and sadly MX Player (pro) does not support this android version yet. I tried Moboplayer as an alternative, but the mkv plays give lots of frame drops.
Is there any decent alternative for this fantastic player until they get it to work on the shining new android version?

I haven't flashed 4.3 but I suggest you give VLC a try.

I tested 2 episodes of Top Gear in 720p .mkv. On VPlayer video is lagging. On BSPlayer no sound. VLC recognize file as music. Stock player play video without sound too.
On 4.2.2 and MXPlayer it worked great.

Mobo player doesn't work too.I guess we have to wait until they release a 4.3 compatible MXplayer
@JanusDC i installed test version of mxplayer from their site it works but you can play only on h/w decoder no s/w or h/w+
hope helped
Still no sound in 720p .mkv :/
