Does it play .MKV videos with HEVC/HEVC2/H265/AAC/10BIT smoothly?
How is the battery drain while playing this videos ?
How is the temperature of the phone during the playback?
Do you need a 3rd party video player, like MX Player?
Thank XDA Community <3.

Yes it plays all videos without any lags. And you'll have to use an 3rd party player for that. And videos are amazing in 18:9 display. you'll just face minor lags on cpu intensive games like asphalt.
Its built in video player wont do you much (wasn't able to play HEVC properly and some audio loss here and there, also fails at 10bit H264) , installing your preferred 3rd party video player will solve this easily though.
In MX player while playing 10 bit videos only the SW decoder is available. VLC does play without lag tho.

can galaxy nexus play divx or h264 video files with 720p or fullHD (1080p) resolution without lag? with stock video player or 3rd party video player on market.
if the videos can run without lag, i'll consider to buy this phone.
if it's lagging, perhaps i should consider buying galaxy note because their price is similar..

I'm using MX player. (work great 4.0.3) and I using aokp build #19, kernel is frenco kernel #13.
tested 720p/60fps -> smoothly.. really 60fps!! (video is H264/[email protected], sound is AAC/320Kbps. total average bitrate is 8000Kbps.) format is mp4.
tested 1080p/29.97fps -> smoothly. (but it is youtube 1080P, H.264 [email protected] I'm not test H.264 [email protected]) bitrate is 10.0Mbps. format is mp4.
but I'm tested in 4.0.2 roms, not smoothly.. Especially, 720p/60fps is too slow. (video rag)
Anyway, I'm recommend MX player + 4.0.3 roms!
I have used dice player and seems to play everything great for the most part.
There is one thing though that sort of bothers me and I can't figure out if it is a codec issue but certain videos with certain scenes that are in a dark gray/black, it will play on the device as blocky. The quality looks horrible when it does that.
I went to play the same video on my fascinate and looked perfect.
I did some research and it seems the Samsung Note has a similar issue, so not sure if it is codec related or not.
Just something to keep in mind.

i am using moboplayer for my sgy, its very good and it has screen lock option which is very useful while watching videos
MX Player is a good one, it could play any video formats and with HW accel (less lag than SW) and a touch lock feature
I recommend DAROON PLAYER

sir if i play 720p or 1080p videos on mx there is a lag in the video in sw mode..............how to fix it sir!!!!!!!!!!!!
mx video player is good ,yes it hangs a bit in 720 p and above(may be due to lack of sufficient hardware support) but is still an advanced player as compared to others even has a pinch to zoom function
is there any other option to play a 700mb file in it??
Anyone found apps that play 720p mkv smoothly? (Type of stuff you get off the internet..)

I use my movie player, works quite nicely with 720p

I use Mx player.
You can even choose between HW acceleration or SW acceleration.

MX Player here. Uses HW acceleration, super smooth. Tried Dice Player and VPlayer, had lots of bugs on audio and video was not very smooth.

I tried MxPlayer and DicePlayer and found that DicePlayer gives me better image quality and plays everything I feed it without any problems.
My tip is to try out both Mx and DicePlayer.

I tried MX Player it failed to play MOV format (1080p) it was a trailer later I tried Mobo Player it works like a charm.
I've noticed the same with those players, that they support different formats, so there is no single best player really.
Like someone mentioned, MOV plays nicely with one or two players, while MKV plays nicely with few others.
I simply use 2 players which support all file formats I use.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I find these two very good: DicePlayer and MX Player, also heard BS Player to be very good too.

Built in HTC Video player for both mkv (720p &1080p) as well as FLVs downloaded from YouTube. I have dice just in case, but had no reason to use it yet

I would rather use the stock player too, but unfortunately it plays my mkv files without sound.
Which would be the better option? Converting the file to fit the stock player, or use players like MX Player to play those files?
Thanks
MX Player. Can switch between SW and HW decoding on the fly, and you can choose for the audio to be SW or HW too, independant of video decoding.
Yeah been using MX for a while, just concern that whether there are any compromises in sound quality when playing mkv with SW acceleration instead of HW

I've never needed to go SW sound before so I can't really say.
I've got a few 720p mkv videos and it doesn't play with sound if it's in HW mode.
The only way for me to play it with sound now is to set it to SW (fast mode or normal one).
So right now I'm just wondering if it's better to re-encode the audio so that the stock player can play it in HW, or just use MX Player and play it in SW.
Will do some experiments after I get back from work

MX can do separate encode modes for video and audio. You can run video on HW and audio on SW if you want.
Dice player plays it all but there is only one little problem with it. While playing videos there are 3 white dots (menu) remain on screen......i hope its updated soon.

hello.
I would like to play full movies 1080p & 720p on my Gnex.
I'm using mx player. before I play the video I'm shutting down all other apps via Advanced task killer.
still, the video is lagging, even with 720P movies.
what can I do to make it run smoothly ?
Thank you !
I use MX Player to play 720p and 1080p mp4 videos and they play smoothly. I haven't tried mkv videos yet, though.

From what I understand, these video players that allow you to play non-naively supported video extensions are constantly decoding the video on a software level.
You'll need one that supports full hardware decoding.
I don't really have a recommendation...but I'd google around and see if you find one that works for our phones.
I'd help, but I don't really have any MKV files lying around
Thank you friend.
It is very important to me.
(and yes I am talking about mkv files)

Try BS Player Free from the market. I also use MX player because I feel it outputs better sound but BS plays everything I throw at it Including 1080p mkv's and I even have a couple of very high bit rate 1080p m2ts files that play on it just fine.I'm on Trinity kernel (1536/384). Let me know how it goes.
I have had a lot of problems with the smoothness on Mx player lately. It used to play HD files fine in software mode but lately has not.

+1 BS Player free , good for HW decoding and also those mkv movies that don't appear to have sound with other players
