[Q] playing videos on sensation - HTC Sensation

I'm very confused about how to play videos on the phone. As I understand it, the phone will play x264 files encoded into mp4.
I've encoded a file using handbrake, into 800x400 video but the phone won't play it using gallery.
Any pointers?

Try a external player dice player or mobo player.

You do realize VideoLAN will be releasing VLC Player for Android very soon.
Re VPlayer ~ since the dev went Paid only with this App it's caused quite a bit of negativity.
So, whilst waiting for VLC I would also recommend Rockplayer.
I used vplayer on the tablet, and noticed it was struggling with 720p MKVs, while the native video player was coping just perfectly.
Have now discovered mVideoplayer, which does handle MKVs perfectly, and is now my preferred video player.
Anyone tried QQPlayer???
http://android-apps.com/applications/media-video/qqplayer/
Mobile QQ player is one of the best video player application running on Android smartphones that supports all the popular formats of videos on the market, including RMVB, AVI, FLV, MP4, 3GP, MKV, MOV and etc. Its smart core technology auto detects video formats and makes it much easier for you to enjoy smoother, better quality videos with limited resources and smaller screen. Download from the Android Market for free now!
Mplayer was just ported to Android 1.6+. It was on XDA's twitter feed this morning. Haven't tried it yet on the Tab, but it should support pretty much every codec and container out there.
M player feels ok not really happy using it.

I am not able to find good video player which can play 720p mp4 files. I have tired vplayer, rockplayer which does not work for these files. Default player and QPlayer work fine but no audio .
How do i get audio back on default player or Qplayer.
i watch 720p video files that are in the mkv container just fine on the sgs using rock player what are the video and audio codecs inside of the mp4

I have tried rock player but it cant play videos properly. BTW here is the codec details
Video codec:- H.264 / AVC
audio code:- MPEG-4 AAC audio
Google it. To compile it you need the sdk

factory player not play multichannel aac this is true and there are lot of such in typically mp4 container... the other problems is vplayer and rockplayer not use hardware accelerated decoding in native mode so with strong files you will in trouble... more over these I simply don't know that fir the original player seems to need just some correct splitters as seems the decoder is very good for almost everything... maybe core player will play everything with hw decoding... hope...
What´s the best player for dreamdoid? With vplayer de-interlacing does not work very well and i have FCs
tried it but didnt play mkv file, may be the file is bad as nothing else plays it well either.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
would recomend mVideoplayer,, it plays my 1080p files, i can get subtitles from mkv files too.

Best video player for sensation

Tried dice player. It only shows half my videos
Tried vplayer and rockplayer.
Rockplayer seems much more crisp and clear than vplayer.
Anyone know any good ones out there?

I use MoboPlayer. It plays most format, have nice looking UI and controls.
I use the "Meridian" player, it has awesome gesture support.
But no idea on what it support, cause i recode everything.
i'm using vital player, plays almost everything, and also subs
can you suggest any player support mkv and external .srt sub?
moboplayer does show sub but no audio. dice with audio but no sub

Hi juami,
I have sent some srt files to you. At the moment, none of the sub are displayed, regardless of type of movie (avi, m4v, mp4, mkv). Please check and let me know when it is fixed. Looking forward to viewing videos with Dice in its full glory.

Mobo player is the best

i use moboplayer and mvideoplayer
but my phone is sgs2
i use RockPlayer which play everything with great quality.
I loaded a HD 720P clips to my storage card and i play them via RockPlayer and its great quality both Voice & Video
SW decoding Player : vPlayer is the best for Sensation.
vPlayer is multi-threaded app. it can use full dual core.
but other player - rock , mobo , vital use only single core.
HW decoding Player : Diceplayer is the best.
Rock/v/vital/mobo/qq can't use hw decoder ( if file is not supported from system)
if file format is mp4, all player can play HD.
but file format is MKV(+DTS), you can see huge lag.
only diceplayer can play MKV(+DTS/FLAC) HD movies.(+longer battery life )

thx for your post, i tried Dice player and its playing well mkv files
+1 for Dice Player, I have all the others installed too, but Dice Player is the best (I watch a lot of 720p MKV, some use DTS sound).
hi,
just checked Dice Player on my Sensation. its really great app. showing 1080p videos almost flawlessly.
my question is, if dice is lowering the fps to show video more fluently?
Thanks

[Q] Playing movies through Windows Media Player

Hi all,
does anybody know how I can get videos recorded on my Sensation, recognized by my PC.....Nothing plays them and I don't really want to mess about with convertors etc
Is there a specific codec I can install on my PC or has anybody developed a way to record in a different format yet?
Thanks
The Sensation records into the 3gp container. WMP12 should be able to play it.
Use VLC player - Plays anything.
Download codecs.

its a very nice player, haven't had any problems with it.

I've been using the Dice player and I've been watching my movies in .m4v format, plays good.

I need to try VLC, but I'm using Dice Player Ad from the market right now. Plays everything I've thrown at it so far. I tried MX Player first but I was having to use SW decoding to get audio to play with my mkv files, Dice doesn't have that issue.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
MX PLAYER really did good job on TF300T
audio in AC3 coded is not supported by the system default, MX Player could play that.
Is your player a free app or a pro apk?
My MX player pro that I got from google crashes every couple seconds
I downloaded the free version, which there is no difference besides a ad when you aren't watching

How do you play MP4 movies?

I downloaded The Dark knight Rises to my phone (from flixster) and I get an error message saying the video cannot be played. I tried downloading several different mp4 video players from the Play Store, but none of those worked either.
Any suggestions? It is happening both to my GSII and my GNoteII
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Mp4 video you are trying to play probably contains a different codec written onto it.
Have you tried 'mxplayer' from store?
Also download different codecs from store after you download mxplayer.
Hope it helps.

A codec is way/method of archieving lossy compression of a video/audio stream. To be able to decode a video using a certain codec your video player needs to support that codec. If your video is in .mp4 format it's most likely going to be using h.264 codec, but I'm surprised you can't play your video with mxplayer cause I've only had success with that.
Have you actually been able to play this video on your computer?

Try Dice player from the play store! One of my friend has a note 2 and uses this app! It has lots of cool features and supports a wide variety of formats and codecs! Give it a try! :good:
Okay, so I have figured it out. I have to actually watch the movie in the flixster app, and not through my stock gallery...which I was hoping I could use the pop up play feature, but oh well...
Thank you everyone for your responses, I will still try the dice player just for kicks. Do you know if that one has a pop up player?
