I am running Marshmello and want to force my youtube app to use av1/vp9 codec (software decoding is also welcomed).
Is anybody aware, how can I add custom codec to my android?
It should already: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP9

Thanks for help
I don't think there's a codec issue, it seems to be a clocking issue.
HQ videos don't play in youtube, but the "SD" ones are perfectly fine. Seems videos above a certain resolution don't work yet. Known issue.
Plus, if your issue is with that Huawei ROM, please post in that thread. Don't make a new thread.
No, I'm using default rhodium uk rom. In wimo it plays okey, but not in android... I'll try to change resolution of video to lower(actual res. of this video was 800x480).
I'll let you know if it will change anything.
I installed coreplayer on my AT&T Tilt2, and it says, for a video I want to play, that AVC aka H.264 is not supported by the player. I have seen sites that say it is, and it isn't supported. What is the story, and is there any way to have coreplayer play this video or do I have to convert it?
thanks!
as far as i know all usa phones support h.264 streaming but as for the playback you'll need to use a new media player (try vplayer).
There are several different profiles of H.264. The hardware only supports Baseline profile, many sites are using Main or High profile for their streams. Hardware acceleration won't work for those, and the CPU is too slow to play them back reasonably without acceleration.
Hi guys,
Since Tegra 3 chip has H264 hardware encoder and decoder, just curious how I can use them to do H.264 decoding and encoding in my Metro app or desktop app. Any documents or sample are welcomed. Thank you very much.
Assuming it's similar to WP7 (which I would hope so, but I haven't done any work with codecs in WinRT yet), just use the built-in encoder/decoder libraries and they will be run through the hardware acceleration. For example, if you attempt to record video from the camera, it should automatically encode using the hardware.
Yes. Hardware accelerator is already implemented in drivers. And not only for H264, audio decoding is also accelerated.
If you'll use MS official API and not try to decode data yourself - you'll automatically get accelerated.
I bought an Xperia SL recently, solely for the purpose of watching videos. Most of the videos I download have the mkv extension and are 720 - 1080p. I downloadedcl MX Player along with its codec and started the video. The video only works on software decoding and desyncs + lags like hell. I dont want to convert it, as I want to download and watch straight away.
Could you help me out? (except saying that download in some other format)
The stock movies app works for me

Try BS Player. Played everything I threw at it with HW decoding.
The stock player just shows a black screen. As does mx player on hardware decoding.
Try MX Player Free or Pro version. Make sure you use the latest one. It played every file i tried.
While playing change the decoding to HW/SW depending on your need. HW is set by default.
Search for MX player in Google Play.
stock movie app is working for me too on .mkv file.

Please use our Q&A section for all questions. See XDA rule #15
@entermetallica:
Same answer as allways.
MKV is no videoformat, it's a container that can consist of audio and video in different formats.
Download the video on a PC, use VLC to view it and then goto Extra/Codec Info.
Post what's there, esp. Mangas are known to use way out of spec coding parameters.
or...
Use VLC like a man
DicePlayer is also a good option.
mx player
try SW, HW and HW+ modes
I use the lastest version of both BSPlayer and MX Player Pro(16bit).
Both play .mkv 720p 6-channel audio movies using HW acceleration on my XPERIA LT26i. I haven't tried 1080p .mkv
BSPlayer uses it's own HW engine and defaults to HW encoding.
MX Player Pro needs to have the HW options enabled in the application settings first.
My XPERIA X10i Adreno 200 running GB 2.3.3(sony fw) uses HW encoding in 720p .mkv movies.. so I'm very sure it's got to work on an XPERIA LT26i Adreno 220 ICS 4.0.4(sony fw)
What firmware are you running???
If you've installed some sort of JB fw ... then true, you may lose HW encoding if the Adreno 220 drivers are not HW enabled in a given firmware not supplied by Sony/Qualcomm.
I use Handbrake on Win7 to encode/decode videos which have default Android and/or HD video settings.

Yup, you've hit the nail on the head. Most likely a codec that's not supported, MKV container is supported by the stock video players and most players form the Google Play market. If we could have a list of codecs that are supported by our Xperia S/SL that would maybe help clearify things.
Using H264 video codec and ACC or AC3 audio in my .mkv container and that's fine with XPERIA S and gives HW acceleration.
can i play mpag dash video without encryption from Android apps without a third party SDK
its written in documentation that its supported in anderoid 4.4
Has anyone written such apps? Can you give an example?
¨Android 4.4 brings formal support for adaptive playback into the Android media framework. Adaptive playback is an optional feature of video decoders for MPEG-DASH and other formats that enables seamless change in resolution during playback. The client can start to feed the decoder input video frames of a new resolution and the resolution of the output buffers change automatically, and without a significant gap.¨
thanks
