Hi guys,
so I uploaded on my tablet's memory FHD movie, about 3GB with some cartoons, for my kid and it is terribly laggy while watching.
I am using VLC video player, but I tried about top10 from Google Play - everywhere same issues:
- video is laggy
- audio/video is slightly out of sync
Is it performance issue, which means that 2015 tablet is not capable of playing FHD movie or is it something else?
Cheers,
Tom
I have m2 8.0 but I have no issues with videos.
Even with movies with dolby digital 5.1 sound I have no issues. Did you try the movie on a different device ?
I use mx player pro for video playback, you can try the free version maybe.
I just bought a Huawei Mediapad M2 and 2 have been returned with Google Play Movies playback issue. Same problem - sound dropouts and video freezing. As a customer I would expect a Android device to play movies natively from Google Movies.
So far I'm disappointed....
unster, davidtamagotchi : Did you make sure that your power saving features are turned off? If you've got power saving turned on, that might be what is causing your lag. I've not experienced any issues so far with movie playback using vlc from the Play Store.

Coreplayer on Windows mobile was the best media player period, but it's not available on Android.
Which media players will do slowmo playback ?
What Im also interested in is, can the Galaxy S do high-fps recording?
The Wave does it and its nearly the same hardware. I wonder why Samsung didnt built this in. The Droid X has it too afaik.
Supports 30fps video!

That's not what I meant...
Do you know those slow mo vids of exploding ballons filled with water etc.?
I want to record videos like that.
It's recording with like 200fps!
The Samsung Wave and Droid X are capable of doing so, but the Galaxy S isn't.
I wants to know, too.
The resolution would surely have to be downscaled, I suppose.
After much debate I finally got hold of the Galaxy S because I thought it would be the ultimate multi-media device (being able to play 720P mkv's and other media without conversion), so I put the iphone 3GS away.
Lo and behold, it has the same crappy media player controls as the iphone.
Play , Pause and scroll slider.
Come on!!!!
Even my 5 year old windows mobile smartphone (SPV C500) had the ability to play media at variable speeds .inc variable speed slow motion (coreplayer).
Please tell me that there's a fully loaded media player available for Android that does this device justice.
anyone seen anything new similar to Coreplayer?
RockPlayer on the market is for armv6...but I remember that one friend manage to install the v7 from market.
Regarding 720p mkv playing, some videos were running even with subtitles rendered, while others no. Others couldn't play at all, like the 1080p mkv. Anyone knows if there is a bitrate limit or why others 720p mkv don't work?

What does this have to do with a slomo feature?
I am not aware of any media player for Android that can play slowmo, but I think there is one way you could do this indirectly using the "VLC stream and convert" app. Stream your movie from your desktop to your phone in slowmo via VLC media player which can play movies in slowmo.
I have not tried this myself but I guess it should work. I know this is not the ideal solution.
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.
I've recently bought Google Nexus 7 32GB 2013. Facing some problem related Video Playing. Whenever I play any 1080p or even 720p video, my video start lagging (little shutter) after 3 - 4 seconds for 1 second. Can you please let me know how can i fix this lag? I am using MX player with updated codec. V4.4
I agree.

My older Galaxy Note 2 Phone handles video (and most other things) a lot better than this Asus tablet. I am probably going to sell it. The KitKat rom is great, but the hardware kind of sucks.
Hardware Acceleration On?

Did you enable hardware acceleration in the settings? I'm not sure about MX PLayer but I get much better video with VLC Player with hardware acceleration on then off. Or just try VLC PLayer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon&hl=en using hardware acceleration if you want. It doesn't need any codec downlaods to play files as they are built in. It's still beta but I've had zero problems with it. I watch 1080p mkv files mostly.
Peace.
I have the 2013 Nexus 7 and clicking the link above for VLC says it's not compatible with my device and not available in my country. If anyone else has the same problem, you have to download the daily build here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/
People who are having problems with MX Player should try turning the "Software Decoder" on. The "Hardware Decoder" mode was lagging when I first used MX Player many months ago, but it doesn't lag when I use the Software Decoder. Maybe it's because the hardware in this Nexus 7 is not programmed to natively play every video format.
Hello everyone.
I bought a Xperia Z5 Premium Dual last month and I want to use it for movies. But the app Movies doesn't support DD 5.1 and AAC audio so I used MX Player. Do the 4K upscaling and Image Enhancements work in MX Player? Does the MX Player downscale 4K videos to 1080p? When I watch a 1080p video in MX Player, if I choose SW decoder, the details seem to be smoother (I can't see pixels), and if I choose HW/HW+ decoder, the details seem to be clearer (I can see pixels).
Sorry for my bad English.
That would be an interesting thing to figure out.
The only objective test I can think of doing on a single device is going into Airplane mode and playing a long(~30min) 4K video on both players with identical brightness settings (H/W and S/W on MX).
Afterwards compare battery percentage drop, or ideally measure power consumption with an external application for more detailed results
Whenever the power drain is less, should mean it's rendering at 1080p
If you have some time on your hands, go crazy. I can try it over the weekend
Just use tubemate app (search on google)
You will find the option to download videos in 4k mp4 because z5p supports mp4 format easily and after you will download you can see there will be a 4k lable in album apps (i mean on the latest file you downloaded)

That or OGYoutube. OGYoutube is the normal Youtube app with a few extra features, such as downloading.
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.
