ARC S 720P MKV File Playback

Ok - have spent an hour or two scouring the posts on here but as yet haven't managed to sort out jumpy playback of 720p MKV files - ranging from 100Mb to 3Gb. Have used rockplayer, a trial of diceplayer and some other players. But as yet no avail.
Please could someone give me some pointers as to what to try next?
Thanks in advance.

Try MX PLAYER

Yes Mate it can. I just tried with a movie trailer that was 1080p just wanted to make it work that's all. All other videos I have are in 720p format. I tried lot of other players but only MX seems to work fine.

Try turning off Bravia engine. Even with MX Player I had issues playing HD movies, but with Bravia Engine off, everything works perfectly (even without MX Player).
I think SE did some good optimization in recent firmware because at 2.3.2 firmware I had issues playing the videos regardless of whether I used Bravia Engine or not and at that time MX Player was definitively helpful.

Try out BSplayer lite too, it has hardware-accelerated software decoding.

[q] helppppp meeeeee!!!!!!

Mx player is better, but get the 1.6f version, not the last one, since that one doesn't has dts sound support and the 1.6f does.

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Guys So Much if you need any android app private message me

[REQ] Fullscreen Movie Player

Before the update to .253 the movie player would play in full screen view even if auto rotate is disabled. Now you have to enable screen rotation to watch a movie in full view, and I dont like having auto rotate set. Would it be possible to change it so movies are always fukllscreen? Perhaps someone can upload the apk from an older firmware.

I have tried many players but nothing is better than the stock one, its simple and doesnt drain battery.

which is the best video player for xperia s?

i am looking for best video player for my xperia s.i am using mxplayer right now.its a good player with sub support.but when playing videos on my built in xperia movie app i feel true surround sound after turning on surround sound mode on and dynamic normaliser on.then i played the same video on mxplayer i feel shame. mxplayer is nowhere near sony movie app.sound and video great on sony's movie app.is there any app can give great surround sound on my xperia s while watching videos.i tried h/w and s/w settings on mxplayer but both are not comparable with sony's surround sound mode.only disadvantage is sony's movie app is not support subtitle.so i am still using mxplayer for watching movies.is sony will add subtitle support?,i m sure my xperia s doesn't get any updates.anyway waiting for reply from experts........suggest me application with sub support and surround sound.

There is subtitle support in the Sony Movies app, at least in version 5.3.A.0.18. I don't know what kind of subtitles though, not .srt files. But I only tried the app on my Nexus 7 (it wouldn't be very different on my Xperia S since that's running CM11). It might refer to movies you rent from the Video Unlimited service. Anyway you can also just use MX Player and some kind of audio enhancer like V4A to change the sound. Just be aware that that "surround" effect you want is actually fake. Stereo is designed in such a way that when you're using headphones and watching a properly recorded video, your brain will process the sounds and and it will sound like surround. No need for software tricks.

how to install v4a. can you give me the link.is there any problem using it?mine xperia s firmware 6.2.b.1.96 and rooted.and also installed cwm.is this v4a enhancer work with mxplayer?

I don't know, I never use audio enhancers and I also don't use stock ROMs anymore. Anyway audio enhancers should work for all your apps, so also MX Player. Look up Viper4Android Xperia S. There should be a thread in the Themes&Apps section.
I thought that in stock your equaliser audio settings work for all apps, the Walkman settings I mean. Can't you edit them from Settings/Sound or something.

Here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
As Redstarr1 has said, it's effects will be observable on all apps including MxPlayer, YouTube etc. I use Viper and I can confirm that it works with Mx
In fact Viper even works on kitkat. I'm using Walkman+Mx+Viper on Carbon Rom (4.4.2). So if in case you're sticking to the stock rom only for Sony's media apps, you can even give kitkat a try

DSEE HX technology in Spotify (HIRES Audio)

Hello, my question: The DSEE HX function works in all music applications (Like Spotify in streaming and stored) or just only in the walkman official app? Im using Xperia Z5 Premium MM 6.0 with HIRES headphones. Thanks!

NO Only in the walkman official app

In any external application I dont see a significant change..Someone can tell me there a way to measure the output of audio ?

seems that the dsse funcion work in spotify, if you go to the audio seetting of spotify e select the eq, will pop up the sony eq pannel with the dsse fuction active if you'll have enable it.
fot hr question of the benefit of the dsse it works great on low quality music and personaly i exclude it cause i use flac file, but in low quality mp3 you'll hear the difference with the dsse on or off

Have you tried with/without DSEEHX in multiple app with the same song in Spotify ?
'Cause for me sound is clearly different with/without it
But it seems it does not work on Soundcloud & Youtube :/

Rebirth of the topic. Anyone know if the DSEE HX function works in Spotify now?? Thanks
