Hi,
I thought the AC3 codec issue was sorted with the Pro version a while ago as I never needed to install any extra codec for my Samsung Note 3.
Not so with the Max 3.
Does anyone know which codec to use? Neon? It's been a while since I've done this and remember having a bit of trouble getting it to work.
Thanks very much.
If you don't know the exact codec/version your phone/mx player needs, go online and download the all in one codec for mx player. MX_AIO.ZIP.
https://mxplayerdownload.co/mx-player-custom-codec-download
Follow the instructions here and mx player will install the correct one it needs... This method has worked on all the phones I've used..
You can also find it in MX Player under Settings > Decoder.
Thanks.
It said use Neon in the app.
Downloaded it and applied the codec.
Now working.
Thanks very much!

So I just copied over a handful of TV/Movies from my Fascinate only to realize that the GNex doesn't play them
I've already tried a handful of players but they just crash when I try to launch them and I'm convinced that they wouldn't work regardless of ICS.
From what I've read it looks like only 3.0 has h.264 (and other codec) support natively and that my fascinate ROMs probably had that coded into them. I am missing something here? Is there an App that I'm unable to find to get this working?
Diceplayer works well. Its a paid app but i believe there's a trial. Also you could try Moboplayer, that might work.
+ 1 for dice player. It's the current king of video playback
First pick is Dice Player for sure.
Second pick is MX Video Player.
Thanks. I gave Dice Player a shot and it is pretty good.
I was also impressed with MX as it works pretty well too...I think Dice is a hair better though.
My only issues now are that Dice Player isn't reading the embedded subtitles properly and that I can't buy the full version ("Currently can not purchase the full version because the checkout account is suspended." - Android Market)
For anyone out there who sees this and is also looking around...here are some duds I would avoid (at least on Android 4.0)
I had also Rock Player but that one was barely better than nothing.
I also tried Mobo but it doesn't even open...it crashes instantly.
***EDIT***
Subtitles are working fine...I played the same video on my PC when I got home from work and the subs are in hebrew or something :S
Just thought I should clear that up for anybody following this.
Your GN, if it's in anyway like mine, will also have a native player with h.264 support, so the codecs for video is not lacking. You will be able to enter the stock player through the gallery(took some getting used to for me as well).
The only problem with the stock player is that it doesn't support the xvid/divx codec and it's lacking quite a few audio codec's such as ac3, so your hd video's will likely play back fine but with no sound. This is where diceplayer is available, as it supports the native hw video decoding and a bunch of software decoders for audio.

I think it did have DivX support. 4.0.2 removed DivX support and is readding it in a later OTA

Hello
I recently bought Note 2 and came from HTC HD2 with windows phone 7.5
I´m newbie with android but at this moment i love it.
I have a samsung micro-sd Pro 64Gb Classe 10 with 2 mkv films installed, but just only have image with sound with:
BSPlayer Free and VLC
No sound with: Daroon player, Mx player, Mobo Video Player, QQ Player, Dice Player, VPlayer, Double Twist... : Choro:
Do i need to install a sound codec or what!?
Many Thanks and Kind Regards
Perhaps the videos/movies are DTS audio, which is removed due to copyrights. You can find a codec plugin to re-enable it. I forgot which site, try to google it.
In MXPlayer, try switching the audio track, or disabling Use H/W audio Decoder. Found that switching the audio tracked worked in MXPlayer for MKV Videos.
Ue mx player, no need for codecs. Tinker with the settings you might have to enable/disable something
I Sir
I made all audio option with MxPlayer and no good results
I suppose MXPlayer does not support DTS audio..
Try vlc player, works for me

Or get MX Player and use this codec http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831111&page=7
Ive also used this and it works fine
use Dice player...
it is capable of playing dual audio mkv also...
OT.... you come from the htc hd2 ..used wp7.5 on it. ..... but never used Android on it ?... lol
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
What's wrong with the stock player?
I've found that it displays crisper quality videos and also does not have the DTS copyright removal.

I ended up doing this in conjunction with MX player. I believe it was a pack of codecs called NEON.
DTS enabled ffmpeg for MX Player for Note II:

Use H/W for video and S/W for audio.
Tested with MX Player Pro 1.7.7.

Hi, how about you try BS Player. The Player Have codex built-in.
I tried a bunch of players, including Mobo, BS, VPlayer, VLC and the built-in one. I've had the best results with MX Player. Runs the smoothest and also uses the least battery (with HW acceleration), and also can stream from network shares instantly.
If I want to watch a video at accelerated speed, then VLC.
Mx player is the best. Close this thread

Hi guys, in play store I found 2 or more codec packs written for arm v 7, arm v 6 like that.. which one should we install for one x?
Cool....)
MX Player didn't ask me and I didn't installed any codec. It works fine. On MX Player's Google Play page, says:
MX Player will test your device and show you the best matching codec automatically if it is necessary. You do not need to install codecs unless MX Player asks.

MX Player comes with the ARMv7 NEON codec built in which is the one our phone needs. The rest are for other phones.
Have u tried playing vob mkv files? N I had slow playing of videos with h/w decoder n with high resolution videos, thought tht codec was the problem...
Cool....)
Stream HD TV from FreeBox
Hello All!
Mx Player is a good product, thx.
But i can't get any sound when streaming a HD TV from my FreeBox (Internet and TV supplier).
I did install ARMv7 NEON codec but nothing better. tried too to use S/W decoder for audio, but no.
video is good but no audio.
how could i solve this?
Google video reader has not the audio too, VLC has the sound (but video has lags)
do i have to install other codecs or is my tablet CPU power too low?
Android 4.1.1 JellyBean ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l) JRO03C.v003 -> 1512.0MHz double core
Stream format : video MPEG-4 / audio AAC.
thx,
Alain (from FRANCE)
Hello. H/w does not play every video, cos h/w is the same with stock player. When I turn on program decoder I can watch every video I want; actually in any format. I haven't downloaded any codecs, I just installed the app. Notice that I use old version of MX player, I don't update it cos I have heard that there're issues in new versions.

Hi guys I've read everywhere, but have not found a solution yet. I previously had a nexus 7 and it played almost everything with MX player. Now that I have this Samsung tablet almost any movie will not play. I have already converted videos, installed MX player, BSplayer , VLC, etc.. I hace also downloaded the Codec pack for MX player (apparently in the last update they were removed for license isues or something like that). Is there anything else you can suggest. Please advise as I wanna use the tab for movies for the amazing screen. Please let me know. Thanksin advance.

A search on the parent forum for ac3 codec will give you solutions. The simple way for me was simply to uninstall MX and reinstall a previous version without the codecs removed. I tried VLC for android and it seems to play everything but prefer MX
This link will take you to a previous version that works. You cannot do any updates to MX however if you go this route.

Actually, you can get additional codec for MX Player through Play Store (Neon codec).

Could be wrong but I read that the last update to neon codec removed ac3
Hi Guys,
I've got some movies that have AC3 or DTS and as I understand it, these are not supported by any of the VR media players (yet?).
According to this, I need to ROOT my phone and then install a CODEC that will support these formats, at which point Gear VR (for example) will then play the audio as well.
I'm sure I can find the instructions for rooting on here but, I've been unable to find a CODEC pack that isn't specialised to a particular app. For example, this pack is aimed at MX Player.
Question is, will this CODEC work with Gear VR or, does anyone know where I can download a standalone CODEC pack?
(Gear VR arrives on Saturday so can't "just try it"... yet. I'm also not going to re-encode everything.)
Thank you!
Try mx player and download the ac3 codec somewhere on xda

Thanks, but is MX Player a VR app? If not, it will VERY quickly make me dizzy - I used VLC and this is also not a VR app so, whilst it played the audio perfectly, I *almost* instantly became dizzy as it did not track head movements.
edit:
Awesome... MAY have just stumbled across the answer!

Edit 2: Nope. That doesn't work with Android 6. Back to square 1.
