hi guys i am using phoenixrom 2.0 in my sm-t805 tab.... the problem i am facing is that suddenly in the middle of the playback mx player decoder switches from hw+ to hW from time to time....i have checked the video file....it wasn't corrupted.....i have changed roms.....tried ironrom lollipo,ironrom kitkat, even tried cm romss(blisspop,pacman etc) .......all of these roms have the same problem......anybody else facing it???how to solve it??
Give us a link to the file so we can test playback ourselves, or just disable hardware+ and just use hardware.
John.
no no mayb i wasn't clear.....it isn't only one file......any video file will show this problem from time to time.......it's not a problem with video file i guess becoz if i play same file twice mayb once it'll play without problem....second time it'll show the above mentioned problem.....and when it switches to hw decoder i can switch back to hw+ and it'll play just fine then but these random switching is just plain annoying............... the reason i dont like hw decoding is becoz file seeking(forward or reverse) isn't as smooth as hw+ and sw decoding quality isn't nearly as good as hw or hw+ .........
Sound like a problem with MX Player how often does it happen?, I have the Pro version, but i prefer the Samsung stock player, and i notice with that, the player will sometimes glitch and play the last few seconds again, but only now and again, do you have an android phone, does it have the same problem?

Nope....i used to use xperia z ultra...that didn't have the same problem......it's this device's problem somehow....that's why asked here whether others faced it too.... i use mx player becoz it supports embedded subtitles with their own styles.....only other player that can do that is vlc but vlc isn't as smooth as mx player
I am an Anime fan myself, though i convert everything to 360p and burn-in the subtitles, Maybe Tab S owners who use MX Player can answer your question.

I'm trying to play some blue ray rips on the GN but the playback is a hit or miss. Sometimes I get sound, sometimes I dont. At times the whole handset crashes when I click the play button and I am forced to take the battery out.
I installed MX player from the market and now I can play them fine, but only in SW Decoder & SW Decoder Fast. The HW Decoder lags, does any one else have this issue? Shouldnt the hardware decoder be much faster ? Maybe my GN is faulty?
i have had 2 GN's now and both of them were choppy in in mxplayer on HW but fine on SW. so not just you.
Cool. Thanks for that. Any idea why this is happening ? Also I can't seem to make Mx player go full screen and hide the on screen buttons, It did it on first launch but not anymore

Yep, it lags as much as mx player does in HW decoding mode. Mx player with SW decoding is buttery smooth but I don't understand why
What file compression are you trying? I'm guessing you ripped it at 720 also?
dice player appears to play it fine on HW so im guessing its a problem with mxplayer.
also i have never got the menu buttons to go. it was bugging me also

Hmm, same file lags for me on dice and mx hw mode, but us smooth in mx sw mode. Im using dice player trial btw
I'm not sure if it would matter but do you know if its mp4 or .264? Also make sure you don't have any background operations happening.
yeah i was in trial mode also. dont know what to say. i was running a 720p mkv file as far as i know.
sorry.

Yea mkv runs fine in hw. Its avi thats acting up in hw.
I just tested a few videos and it they both worked flawlessly on the stock video player and MX. My best guess would be that you may have something going on in the background thats using your cpu as well.

I just tried it and I see what you mean by choppy playback. What software did you use when you ripped it?
Edit:
Also its not actually a HD video. - 624x352

Yea I know it's not HD but certain HD videos have same effect. Glad my device is not the only one that suffers on that vid. This was avi demux I believe.
Thanks for testing

No problem. If theres an option in avi demux to encode in mp4 or .264 or something try that. I've tested those types of encoded files and they work great at 720 res!
I just copied a few videos that I had on my old fascinate sdcard that would play them perfectly using HW decoder mode with MX player.
I tried it on Nexus, and very choppy, and these videos are not 720P, they are just standard SD
I tried the default video player and I guess does not support mkv files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
That is strange, I play 720p MKV files in MX without any issues.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling and making sure the app is fully updated?
I use DICE Player but I don't think anyone new can purchase their app because their payment is suspended.
MX Video Player is a good alternative and it's free. But if you've purchased DICE Player in the past, I'd use that.
Edit: https://market.android.com/details?...EsImNvbS5pbmlzb2Z0Lm1lZGlhcGxheWVyLnRyaWFsIl0. Looks like their trial version is now "Ad" supported?
Dice Player is the absolute best for MKVs. But as zephik said, you can't purchase right now.

Yeah looks like their "trial" version is a ad-supported version. So I think DICE Player Ad (trial) is now the full-version of the app but supported with ads as a workaround. I bought the app when it was still available and they still do update it, so I can't confirm but I believe that's how their Ad version is working.

I did not even install it myself I guess when I registered my device with my email it pulled everything down and saw MX player there already.
Let me try another video and see what happens.
I will try the DICE as well even though it has ads just to see if it even works.
OK I tested with the Dice ads player..and it works great!
So now I have to hope they get full version soon.
Anyone know how much full version was?

According to the receipt in my email it was $3.95. The ad version is better than the trial version they originally had.
the original trial lasted 3 days and then you had to buy it. so it's very nice that they've added this ads trial since their payment situation is all screwed up.
one thing though, i've had a lot of issues with AVI's in diceplayer, so i use MoboPlayer for them.
there is no hardware support yet. i've had to settle with using MX video player and set it to "software decoder" / "fast mode".

Dice Player has full MKV hardware support and fully supports 720p and 1080p MKV files.
it actually uses hardware for everything, which unfortunately fails with AVI files on my device.

well, it cant play my .mkv's(720p ac3). upon trying the phone locks up and wont respond at all. i end up having to do a battery pull.
VPlayer works very well for mkv videos. Playback is smooth with HW Decoder and a high quality setting.

IDk what to tell you other than to message the developer. he's very helpful. i talked to him about issues before.
i've tested 6 MKVs from 720p to 1080p and all of them have worked perfectly without any issues with hardware decoding in diceplayer.

Doesn't seem to be the Apps problem if your phone is locking up. Are you using s custom rom or kernel?

So I just recently got updated to jellybean stock from HTC (using HTC ONE X) 4.1
I never had previous problems on ICS of this nature...
All seems well until I try to play 2k (2560x1440) and some (most) 1080p videos web dl of series. (mkv or mp4)
Problem being that the screen doesn't render anything...its just black, I get the control for the media player but no actual video stream, i have audio as well, the doesn't sound like its lagging or anything, I am also able adjust brightness, volume, seek bar works as well, what I noticed is when I took a screen shot with htc default player it took the image and capped it and it was viewable...
I have tried the following: (which all use to play 2k and 1080p files no problem besides the random cutting out but i think thats htc's aggressive ram saving bs)
Mxplayer
Vplayer
default player
dice player,
all do the samething
any ideas?
Have you tried MX Player's HW+ renderer? If all else fails, could you upload the video somewhere and let me test it?

I see you're on a mod'd kernel, could make all the difference?
I am on complete stock everything
I still don't understand why mine wont play it, friend is also problems,
I'm thinking I should just root and load custom rom... only reason I'm keeping it stock is for warranty but my insurance covers anything and more that would happen to it..
this problem and the removal support of MASS STORAGE (don't like the MTP thing) like a flash drive, is another nail in the coffin for this (stock)rom
i with all kernel and all JB rom ,can`t see HD movie and its wery laggy.wath is problem?

Never had an issue. With MX Player try to change the decoder from HW to SW or the other way around. I don't think it's Kernel related. Since it used to work fine on stock as well. Check the HTC Task Manager and see if you have enough memory left.

After KK update my P600 can`t anymore play files like .m4a, .mkv etc. Tried different players, but it just doesn`t play. I`m NOT rooted and on full stock. Is there any solution?
I'm using BS player and it works fine (however, need to write I had to configure it with SW decoder to work).

Same here. Used to work on HW+ mode but not after KK update. Now If that mode is selected MX just crashes. Also some video files that used to work using HW mode now they only work in SW mode otherwise the MX player crashes.

as far as i know...
SW decodes almost every format and it uses more battery...
HW decodes limited formats and uses much less battery
