[Q] patching the libOmxVdec.so

Hey everyone has anybody tried to patch the libOmxVdec.so on the xperia play to allow 720p hardware decoding playback on diceplayer. If anyone has help please.

Never even heard of this, but might be interested to take a shot at it. Any links to more info?

this is the link http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCAQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1170541&ei=4QhuTv22CMbWsgaa1OHbBA&usg=AFQjCNHDxkGeiowt7K15TxQdost8QHH7sA
ive tried but it messed up instead

this is another link u could try http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1170541&v=1&libid=1315834125439&out=http%3A%2F%2Fdiceplayer.inisoft.co.kr%2Fnews-and-tips&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1259093&title=%5BMOD%5D%20%5B720p%20HW%20PLAYBACK%5D%20libOmxVdec.so%20(removal%20of%20h%2Fw%20restrictions%20in%20playback)%20-%20xda-developers&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fdiceplayer.inisoft.co.kr%2Fnews-and-tips&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13158341317751

This very well may be possible after having looked into it a bit. The MSM8255 Snapdragon on the Xperia Play does support hardware playback of 720p... so... very interesting.

yep dats wat im thinking to its very interesting

Isn't the source for that lib present on FXP git?

I imagine it should be.
I gave it a shot with QQPlayer, one of the apps mentioned on the other thread and I saw no difference in video playing performance with a 720p video.

it tried it to and it didnt increase my compatiblity but lowered it in stock player and diceplayer wierd

Don't try patch libomxvdex.so.
This libOmxVdec.so is suitable for QSD8250 not QSD8255.
* edit
you should try libOmxVdec.so from Desire HD.

I'll give it a shot sometime tonight.

anyone have the link for desire hd lizOmxVdec.so

I grabbed one and it made no difference.
I might be using a video that can't be hardware accelerated anyways on the Play. Hmm.

i tried an all but i can play some videos of mkv not all though in diceplayer i mean i used d original but of nexus and dwsire

[Q] What are these pink lines on my videos?

Getting these artifacts on YouTube videos regardless of video quality, even get them on my stock video player, have to change decoder in MX Player from HW to SW. Phone is Samsung Galaxy Grand with CM 12.1 but the issue has been present since stock.
Screenies below.

Normally I would say bad maybe a bad rom, but you say you have this on all roms.
Only in youtube?

No, get this on almost all players barring some exceptions. I get this on MX Player too unless change the decoder to S/W decoder. You're using the same phone as me, are you sure you're not getting this at all?

No problem here with all the roms I used and tested.
Like I said it could be a rom/driver problem, but when you have that since day one on every rom then I would be thinking of a hardware problem

Is X265 10bit 1080p mkv supported?

Is honor 8 pro capable of playing X265 10bit 1080p hevc video?
I've tried samples from jelly fish with stock player, mx player n vlc. None works. Tested the same on friend's op3t phone n it played smoothly with stock player. Even X265 10bit 120mbps 4k video was played without lag on op3t. But this honor 8 pro cant even play 5mbps X265 10bit video?
So is this hardware issue on honor 8 pro?
Any suggestions??

Yes. It's absolutely capable. I just tried. Make sure you're using the latest vlc 3.0.0

Yes i m using vlc 3.0 but no help. Any settings to change? Attached is the screen grab. It plays for few secs and then hangs.

I really have no idea.
Try turning the hardware acceleration to Full in Vlc.
Are you on EMUI8?
Sent from my DUK-L09 using Tapatalk

Hardware acceleration is to full and m still on emui 5.1, waiting for ota update.

If its of any help, attached is the screen grab from stock player.
Playback is smooth but with distorted colors.

I too had this problem on EMUI 5.1
Wait for the update. It may solve the problem because I didn't encounter this problem on EMUI 8.

Thanks for your help!! Will update once i get oreo update..

So my phone has been updated to emui 8.0 and phone has been factory reset post update but this issue of non playing X265 10bit videos is still there.
Any advise?

1080p hevc mkv videos cannot be played with inbuilt player (due to colour distortion, though videos are played). With MX player, HW decoder is not supported; video automatically starts playing with SW decoder. With VLC full Hardware decoding is supported without color distortion (but still playback is not that smooth, sometimes even videos got stuck).
Overall video playback on honor 8 pro is poor. So don't expect much.

M facing same issues that u highlighted above. Earlier in my posts I was told that this device is capable of running hevc 10bit videos so I thought its my device specific issue.

The chipset is surely capable but I don't know why this happens.
Vlc does play the video but if the video is skipped, it gets stuck on that frame.
Maybe because the kirin chipset isn't widely used and thus, there are optimisation issues with many apps. I get dropped frame rates almost in all games and this baffles me because the chipset is fairly powerful.
I am not buying device with kirin chipset again. Lots of optimization issues with 3rd party apps.

it would be really sad. u've contributed a lot to this community. to say this means we won't see you in the honor/ huawei section that often since they usually stick to their own processor.
but yes, it does seem sad that there's really not much optimisation... though for the GPU, it is still MALI, which is also on Exynos.
i can only hope things will be better and Huawei/ honor can really work with more developers.

I can't really say if that first line was sarcasm or not.
This device can't play any game without skipping frame rates. It lags pathetically on playing temple run 2.
There are clearly optimisation issues for 3rd party apps because they have optimised it exceptionally well for their own apps and the whole software. This ruins the overall experience because as the OP stated that a device with SD821 plays 1080p 10 bit x265 videos smoothly while this doesn't.
Exynos devices may not be relying from this same problem because Samsung sells those devices in a lot more number than Kirin devices.

why do you think it's sarcasm??
as for Exynos devices... they also use MALI GPU, though it's a diff variant of the chip. still, if they can get it optimised... i guess we can hope it's the same for Huawei/ honor. after all, Huawei/ honor is also one of the top manufacturers in the world right now.

I felt it was sarcasm because I don't think I have done anything major for the community here. I am not a dev [emoji12]
I haven't used an Exynos device. So, I am just guessing. Yup, I know they both use the same GPU but with lesser number of cores though. Maybe that's the root cause of this or it's just pure optimisation problems, don't know because reviews didn't show any such issues with this device. I am really confused.

Yes even i am also confused as reviews shows no such issues but it can be possible that not many ppl really tested these specific vidoes on this device. Hence I posted screen recordings of my phone. Need some more testers to see if I m the unlucky one.

Stock player plays video smoothly but with lot of color distortion. VLC just hangs after 1sec and MX player plays through SW decoder with lot of stuttering. XPlayer from Google play plays video much better but still stutter a lot. Overall you can't play x265 10bit HEVC videos with higher bitrate n framerate and of higher file size on our H8Pro. What a disappointment. I tested the Jellyfish sample video which was around ~33mb and main10

Not only in hevc, x264 video playback also have a bug. The 'blacks' are not shown properly in HW decoding of MX player or inbuilt player or VLCs full Hardware decoding or any app using internal codecs including video playback in YouTube app. There is a permanent 'tint' over video (only video screen) when played in these ways. The tint is absent in SW decoding mode of MX player which means the fault is in internal decoding.
To check this pause a black scene of widescreen video (so that there are top and bottom black bars). The black bars are distinctly visible in inbuilt player (and other playbacks that use internal decoding); But screen is full black (black of screen becomes same as that of bars and so can not be distinguished) when SW decoding of MX player or VLC (No harware acceleration) is used.
Not only blacks become greenish black but all colors become slightly dull compared to actual.
This most probably wasn't before oreo update.
Also there is one more magic to it. I tried to attach screenshot, but the screenshots are clear (tint is absent), even when screen recording is on tint dissapears and reappears as soon as screen recording is turned off.
I had to take shot from another phones camera. Pics in attachment is of same black scene (video paused). Screenshot is completely black while photograph shows how it actually appears (distinct top and bottom stripes).
Eye comfort or display color settings has nothing to do with it.
I already reported this issue to honor customer care but I don't think it would do anything.
Anyways, there is NO way to fully enjoy videos in our honor 8 pro. We have to just accept this. To avoid frustrations: stop downloading x265 video, stop comparing with other phones and simply accept what we have.

Redmi Note 8 Pro Video Oversharpening Issues (YouTube, MX Player, and etc.)

So after I bought this phone, I've found an issue while it's small, it's still super annoying.
The hardware video decoder tends to over sharpen the videos. It's happening on YouTube, Netflix, MX Player, and probably any video player that takes advantage of the HW decoder. But if you uses the SW decoder, you won't find the oversharpening effect happened.
I made the comparison there: https://slow.pics/c/39Wjz6wS
if you can't open the link, you can compare it on the attachment below.
The oversharpening effect looks unnatural and ugly. It's even worse if you watched it on the phone. Especially if you use the full screen option. (e.g.: fit to screen on MX Player, and full 1080p on YouTube app)
I'll already reported this on the feedback app, and if you think this a dealbreaker, please report it too on the feedback app.
Thank you.
There's also many people on MI.com thread that complained about this. So yeah...

Yeah this problem is very big for me and I already report the problem long time ago since MIUI 10. They still not fix the problem in MIUI 11.0.3. Let's hope they will fix the problem in Android 10 update.

With the releases of Redmi Note 8 Pro custom rom, are any of you still have the oversharpening issue, or it's gone when you installed the custom rom?
If it's gone then, it's a MIUI fault.

Any news on fixing this annoying issue? I've just bought Redmi 8 Pro. Didn't hear about it on any review. Also camera is making oversharpened photo.

Up. .need more attention to this problem, since it's my only daily media device.
*such a bad luck. . .get terribad experience with Xiaomi mediatek powered device twice (Redmi Note 2 be the first)
if, this problem still exist in MIUI 12. .then i'll throw this phone with another Snapdragon thing again.

AFAIK for Video Playback oversharpen. .disable HW overlays on Developer Options was help a bit. But need to re-enable every reboot.

Oh i almost forgot this issue, BUT.. It is fixed on MIUI 12 China Beta. Sorry for late reply because i just realizing this couple days ago.
Video Playback on any platform, Like Youtube app is great, not oversharpened anymore. Dunno about AOSP ROM tho', but this must be bug on MIUI 11 i suppose..

good news that i've been waiting. . .now i'm just waiting for MIUI 12 update
*for a while, using disable HW overlay as temporary solution.

Problem still exists
I have updated miui 12 in 8 pro,, but in MX player still problem exist ,, but good news is use vlc player and then in setting ( Force on open go es 2.0 ) then your video will work smoothly !! (( But HEVC ( H.265 ) video working in MX player without over sharpening problem (( but for H.264 video problem still exists )

Sorry not solved ( indian rom )
Sorry x265 also showing over sharpening effect .. it means not solved in MX player.. but try vlc trick it will work...

Don't use HW decoder, use SW decoder to remove the oversharpening effect. I think it's caused by Mediatek hardware decoder settings.

Question 960 FPS mode is broken

Hello!
Recently I bought a Xiaomi 12X phone, 8/256 variant, OS is MIUI 13.0.3.0(SLDEUXM).
I have a problem with 960 FPS mode, it works, but it output garbage video files.
This is with H.264 encoding
Your browser is not able to display this video.
The H.265 one isn't playable, but I'll throw it here. This one should be a green hell of a mess.
(You can play it in external player, like VLC. Right-click the video, copy the video address and paste it to VLC's "Media-Open Network Stream")
Your browser is not able to display this video.
Is this a hardware or software failure?
Thanks!
Edit: quick update, so the problem only persist if my phone is set to my native language (Hungarian). If I set the phone to English (Great Britain), both H.264 and H.265 videos are perfect.
So there is a software bug there.

I have the same problem, i download the apk of new xiaomi camera app and has Better quality but not perfect
