Hey
I need help from anybody because I did not manage to solve this problem. My xperia X10i manages to play movies, however they are jerky from time to time and i dont know what the problem is.
I had a HTC HERO before and it was able to play the same videos with no problem, now with the xperia, even with different roms the videos play a bit jerky, no matter the format, mp4, m4v etc. I tried with the default player and other players and is the same problem.
The problem is not the micro sd card as i have a class VI 16 gb from samsung.
Could anyone tell me how can I solve this?
even my 2 generation ipod touch was able to play this movies really smooth with no problems at all.
thanks
have u tried defrag on ur sdcard? and wats rom u using? player? rooted?
Hey
Well I have used several roms, with jit enabled, with latest firmware and the latest 2.2 Rom. Right now I have the latest firmware for 2.1 and the problem is not solved. I did not defrag the card though mainly because is basically new, I thought the card was the problem that is why I bought a new one. But the problem was not solved.

what are the video files? movies? video recorded from camcorder?
what are the details on the video files? (fps?, bit-rate?, etc)
if they are movies you've converted, try lowering the resolution (800x480) and lowering the fps to 22-24fps and a bit rate of around 1500-2000.
if it's your recorded videos from the onboard video camera, what class is your sd card? if you're using the modded V* camera app on a 2.1 rom, go to V10 and make sure you don't have the camera profiles in your build.prop.
Try moboplayer or qqplayer the default ones or vplayer i had the same issue.
Hey thanks, I tried the players with same result, the files are 480 pixels wide, bitrate is 600 kbps which is kind of low. And as I said I managed to play with the old ipod touch, and they play very well there so they should play well on the xperia. I am using handbrake for the conversions using the ipod touch preset, on mp4 format as well as m4v, but on the other people using the x10, your videos play with no problem at all? Not even a small freeze for a second? Thanks for your help on this

+1 to rockplayer, plays 720p mp4s without a hitch too. I am on Wolf's .053 2.2 CMOD ROM. Used to work on SE's official 2.1 too from what I recall. And yeah it was off my old 8GB class 2 card.
EDIT: Use hardware decoding mode in rockplayer to get better playback.

Hi i am having problems with video playback, ive tried just about everything on my fuze formatting the sd card flashing my rom and hard resets even tried different media player but nothings working please help?
look it the blackstone thread and download the HD video converter, it converts videos to great quality as it uses hardware graphics acceleration

thats not what i mean its my mp4 video wont play anymore. Thx anyway.
Are you using Windows Media Player?
Have you tried something like TCPMC or Core Media player as i have no problems at all and the performance is great. I can play MP4s no problem.
Sorry just noticed that you said you used other media players
I just noticed this app:

it plays all the formats it claims to? wow.. you haven't had any issues with it at all?
It works really well, .mkv files play choppy, but any of the .mkv files I converted to mp4 play great. Divx rips play really well, they often look clearer on the small screen than on my monitor!
Been using it for weeks. Plays the most formats I've ever seen of any android player. Best part... Its free!!! Wish I could find a stand alone player for .swf format movies.
Now they want 10 bucks for it!!! Not worth it. But you can still use it. NAGWARE
ROCKPLAYER plays all avi files....
Its all I need )
doesnt work with hdmi out
If its not in the market I won't buy it.
never tried it yet, might in a bit though...

It now is and is out of beta
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
beta version gave me a bad humming buzzing sound when it got quiet in all my .avi files hopefully they fixed it..
that's weird.. i haven't heard any humming sound, although avi audio and video lags. i don't know why.
oh and i tried an mp4 720p video on it, such lag... i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's an otherwise good player.
Yeah, I downloaded the new release today, they changed it to ad/support or pay if you don't want to see ads.
Videos I had encoded into mp4 that played pretty well before, and flawlessly through the phone's video player, now are laggy, especially when you skip through the video.
mkv's still lag, avi/divx still plays well.
I hope they fix all this soon.
I've been using it since it was leaked awhile back, love it.

I don't have any except for when seeking through the files or playing after pause. For a few short seconds audio is choppy or there is none. Also so far I can't get subs to work. Oh and I forgot about HD, well you can fahget about it. 720p vids of bleach, in mpg format, that also seem to have low bitrates since its only 300 plus mbs didn't work. That was with the beta though for the latter.
It only supports .srt UTF-8 subtitles currently.
The application definitely needs some polish. It can't play most HD files yet, and needs more support for other subtitle formats and audio types, but it's the most capable player on Android. One of the only ones that'll play divx files flawlessly.
I love it used the beta for ever but yes it is out of beta and on the market get it while you can
One thing I like about rockplayer that I haven't seen posted anywhere is that it plays flv's. I have ton of those(I had a love affair with youtubedownloader for a while!)
How do I associate it with video files to make it the default video player?
Should I be able to open a file on my LAN via the wireless network in ESTRong explorer and play it?
Hi guy im wondering what is the best video player app out there that will support subtitles when u have them in youre sd card. Ive tried quite a couple already and none seem to get the subtitles running or it just wont show it. Ive tried "rock player, vplayer act 1 video player and vita player pro. None of this app video players seem to wrk with subtitle. Please let me know if you know any thank u. By the was i got the g2x phone.

I tried mvideo player and tis is the only player that did recognize and added the subtitiles by itself. But only thing is kept on foreclosing :/, as in handbrake? what player is that, tried looking for it in the market and couldnt find it.

The mVideoplayer is my favorite one, but the MoboPlayer would be the one that plays the most files.
Video Formats
What format and settings are you using for the videos? I've used a couple of players so far, and both mobo and mvideoplayer have done well for me so far, but specific video formatting can be sketchy. I've found that its best to remaster any vids I grab to a universal format that does a reasonable job of compression vs quality. I don't recall the settings I've been using off the top, but I can check once I get home from work and let you know what works best for me.
Moboplayer!
stock is best
i think the stock player is best ... but it would be nice if someone would compile VLC to work on android... just a thought.
I use Vplayer and it plays everything i need to, trial is free and says it only will work for 30 days or something like that but i have used it past that with no problems
is there anything that will play ISO though?
I personally use vplayer has best quality and haven't found a video yet it hasn't been able to play...

The film and the subs are with the same name? Like Avatar.rmvb / Avatar.srt and in the same folder?
mVideoPlayer
Hey guys
I could swear I had this solved, but most recently its come to my attention
that whatever I may have thought, I actually don't have a reliable way of playing back 720p mkvs on my phone without streaming/transcoding/converting.
Plex has come a long way and works excellently, but I really want to do native playback. Has anyone done a thorough survey of players? If not I will try to do one and write back with my results.
EDIT: I should say that, I actually want to play 720p mkv's off a network share. But let's say the first goal is native 720p mkv playback, and the second goal is to do it over a share.
Have you tried MX video player from the market? It had played every video file i have thrown at it.

I don't know what the res of the video was but I know is was a HQ mkv and MX played it perfectly. I've also thrown .VOB's at it. I think I will go home and toss a .ts at it just to see what it will do.
What is the best solution to play MKV's that are larger than 4gb on the G2x? Most of mine are and the 4gb fat32 file size limit on the SD card get's in the way. Can android read an NTFS formatted card? Or can someone recommend a free Windows utility to downsize an MKV to less than 4gb? Thanks.
Hello fellow GNOTE 10.1 users,
Idk if anyone else tried it but when I try to play some soft subbed 720p videos (mostly anime videos with eng subtitles) the stock media player could only play audio and the best I can have some laggy playback using BsPlayer free. So, does anyone know a way to solve this problem? Is it a much broader problem in Android devices in general that has not been soIved yet or does some certain magical codec pack do the trick?

Try mx player and install codecs for arm v7
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Nope, it is laggy as hell, the video and the audio go out of sync awfully frequently. By the way, I have tried many 1080p movies and they worked seamlessly before, so my unit is definitely not at fault here. Any other suggestions?

Try both hw/sw /hw + acceleration. If it doesn't work. Then the last chance is in dice player those are the best 3 players in market, but don't worry it is definitely not the device's problem it is software issue
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app
Tried both. in hw it does not even show the video and in sw the problems I've pointed out persists. I've tried many different players before -dice as well and it was BsPlayer which gave the best performance. Though as I said, it is also laggy.
Thanks for your time and suggestions.
Yeah, I have the same problem. Looks like I will have to extract all the subs....no other player worked....
Edit: I tried another animes from other sub groups and some of them are working, like from gg and gotspeed, no luck with coomie and utw though, I gotta look at it, maybe theres problem with the format of the subs.
Guys, after the long struggle, I found the remedy! Just install archos video player and its codec pack and that's it. 10-bit video playback problem is gone forever.
