I'm very interested in the answer to that question too...
Doesn't the Mobo Player support that? I may be wrong...
no, unfortunately mobo player does not work with dts-mkvs, at least on my sgs2...
did you enable the software-codecs in the settings? but sw-playback is a bad choice for 720p or 1080p videos.

So playing mkv files with original videoplayer and mx player streams the video really well but with no sound :/ Do you guys know any good video player that doesn't lag, run smooth and support sound. ? btw Vplayer is lagging but sound works.
in this section, look for the thread regarding blu ray ripping. the answer is in there.

There are some posts already about this. I use BSPlayer.
bsplayer ftw
ffmpeg is the key
With BS Player or Dice Player, you need to use ffmpeg library. You need to copy a file named libffmpeg.so to /mnt/sdcard/. Sorry, but XDA rules forbid me to post URLs (not 10 posts yet). If you need the file, i can send you a dropbox link by MP.

MKV is a container format, meaning it can contain multiple tracks for video and audio in different formats (even subtitles and chapters are supported). The sound track probably is in DTS format. There are only a few players around for android that can play DTS encoded audio. BSplayer and VPlayer.
Depending on the bitrate of the video, VPlayer does "lag" on some movies for me, BSplayer hasn't done that yet.
edit:
If you can to know what tracks and file encodings are in the mkv check out MediaInfo (windows) or mkvmerge GUI from MKVToolNix (cross platform).
BSplayer streams all my 1080p from my server flawless. The fact that it gets subs auto is amazing. Best player i tried so far tbh

What's the best option for playing MKV DTS movies on the TF300? All the new players won't do DTS audio, but I hear that older versions of some software, like Dice will. But, I'm not sure that the older versions will support/use the Tegra 3.
Thanks in advance.
Found solution, but shuttering: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34649108&postcount=16

Says it does multi-core decoding. I'd like know how well it plays your mkv files.
MX Player with h/w+ decoding plays mine just fine. I use DSP Manager for all my Audio.
Thx, but VLC doesn't play MKV DTS videos.

So you have no shuttering issues even with 1080p KMV DTS videos?
The shuttering is probably network related as I'm streaming it over WiFi, especially large files.
There's also XBMC for Android, I haven't tried it yet, but going to now: http://xbmc.org/download/
XBMC for Android works but isn't great at playing MKV files, really slow, shuttering.

Have you found a reliable option mate? I tried MX, Dice, VLC and all have problems with DTS. There is an option to use external filters in MX, but its unreliable. I tried several files, with bitrates from 2-3k to 20+k. MX with HW+ encoding plays smoothly, but no sound.
I think I tried SopCast player and it might have played DTS, don't really remember, maybe you can give it a try.
I'm using Galaxy Nexus. If you've found a solution, don't hesitate to PM me.
I have a bunch of mkv's I decoded myself from some dvd's using a free software for windows, but when I play them with mx player on the note 10.1 I can only use sw and not hw.
Anyone who knows what the problem may be?
No, but I have the same experience. Many video's need SW b/c HW will either not play, or produce audio mismatch.
I use hw for video and sw for audio... Works fine but doe go out of sync when just using hw...
Why do you convert dvds to mkv ?
You can convert them to mp4 or avi with ac3 audio.
The files are smaller and the video quality is the same.

cos it's an easy software and process: put in the dvd, select language and subtitle, click convert and in a few minutes I get the movie ripped to an mkv file.

Hello,
I use MX player on MXQ S85 Android TV Box. It is working very well except audio stream changing, even I can click on the other language audio available, it keeps playing sound in first language when movie started...
I have tried with different files, it is always same problem. Other video players doesn't meet this issue. I would like continue use MX player because H265 files are well played.
Thank you

Probably it's due to unsupported audio codec...!
Can you post the mediainfo....?

Sorry I did not put infos about it... apparently it is due to DTS ... The first stream is played well but it seems dual channel DTS makes troubles:
Video is Codec : H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1) Résolution : 1920x1058
Two streams are DTS and the second can't be played is DTS 1509 Kbps
Is it enough info ?
Thanks !

Probably your device may not have native dts decoder. Kindly use custom codec from the sticky post. When you use custom codecs you can play ac3 or dts tracks even if it's not natively supported by your device. But, the disadvantage is the 5.1 audio will be downmixed to stereo

But the first stream is in DTS and is well played and detected on my speakers system so it is not the device. I have found another video player who can also play both stream in DTS but I would prefer use MXplayer... :silly:
