I want my Eris to stream audio (out). Is there an audio streaming App that anyone has developed or is being developed? I saw one in the market that does video and audio but I only need audio.
TIA
I am using the newest 3.2 tiamat ROM and the native video player now appears able to easily play high profile 720p matroska contained h.264 video, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle the AC3 audio contained inside of it. Has anyone been able to inject something into the android OS to allow the stock video player to handle AC3?
I know I can convert, use a streamer, suffer with choppy video and get the audio with rock player, vplayer, qqplayer, etc, but I want to play it natively, as all the other options suck.
seems that the video player can *almost* handle 1080p high profile as well... so close.
I am experiencing A2DP lag of about half a second on all ICS roms that I have tried. Anyone else have issues with bluetooth stereo lag?
edit: A2DP works fine in stock Honeycomb.
yes, I also experience this lag on Team EOS nightly #45 (umts_everest) when playing videos using mx video player. The lag in music isn't really noticable (since there is no visualisation) and I haven't tried anything else (as my A2DP-Device is my car stereo and I usually don't do fancy stuff while driving...)
Yes, I believe there are some audio issues to resolve. The a2dp is likely tied to the new wifi driver, simply put. But I think there are larger audio issues yet to be addressed.
Bluetooth Lag Solved !
I had a same problem and I was playing with it for a week . I think I figured it out . Here goes . To play PERFECTLY synchronized Audio video on BLUETOOTH , your video has to be converted in such manner that no extra codec is needed to watch it . Meaning your original video player has to recognize it with original HARDWARE ENCODING . When you Convert video it has to be COMPATIBLE with xoom NOT .AVI and MP3 . It has to be h264 mp4 video and AAC audio . ( That's the one that works perfectly ). You can convert it to other formats and play it with other players with they own codecs and Software decoders but Bluetooth will be out of synch .
I have a movie on my phone, but it's audio quality is really bad. I have downloaded an additional audio file for the movie but I am unable to play the movie with additional (later downloaded ) audio file. Is there a way to do that on mx player or doe's any other app on play store support this feature?
The easiest way is just to remux the video with the new audio using something like mkvmerge.
Hi all.
I try to get MX Player to play dolby 5.1 or dts sounds on my TV.
Specs:
- TV: Philips OLED POS 9002 with Android Oreo
- Sound: Bose Soundtouch 300 Soundbar with rear speakers, connected optical. Can play Dolby Digital and DTS.
- App: either direct (using USB) or via DS Video and streaming from NAS. Latest version from Google Play Store.
No matter if I use a custom codec (mx_neon.zip) or not and any decoder (hw+, hw, sw), if I try to play certain test vidoes from here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Samples
especially the channel checks and it is some sort of upmix from stereo, but definitely no disctinct channel selection.
To be exact: I did not test all variations (custom, standard, all decoder) so far...
--> it seems there is exactly the same behavior with my new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K - only stereo as well...
Is there anything that I can test or do or try to get it work. Besides the sound issue, DS Video and MX Player are working very well, it would be a pity that due to sound issues I can not use it for anything else than stereo.
Thank you for any hint.
Best regards

We regret the inconveniences caused by the delay in our response. Unfortunately, MX Player does not support audio audio passthrough mode over SPDIF at the moment. However, it is applicable only to the HW+ / SW decoder.
HW decoder directly makes use of Android mediaplayer framework on the device. So, If it is implemented to use audio passthrough mode, it should work as expected. Please check whether there any system settings that can enable the audio passthrough made. Enabling it may let you allow passing the audio directly to the external audio system.
Thank you for your reply.
The soundbar is connected either optical or via HDMI ARC.
As it is working with the internal media player and with Kodi (enabling all passthrough options), but not with VLC (same effect), it might be a bug of the current firmware (there is a similar bug concerning 1920x800 video and the black bars which is present with third-party-apps as Kodi, VLC and MX player, but not with Amazon prime video and the internal player). I opened a ticket at Philips. Let's see how it develops.
As mentioned: as it works with the internal player it seems that the overall settings are correct.

I have the same problem with philips 43pus7304 android TV. Internal player and Nova Video Player can play 5.1 AC3 sound, but mx player and vlc can't - my av receiver shows that input signal is only stereo. I tried it via hdmi arc and optical - the same result. Please fix this - mx player is the best of all, but such a bug!
I tried all kinds of settings in your player ant tv - but problem is somewhere else but not in settings. Also I tried default decoder and mx_aio.zip.
I seem to having the same issue at the moment. The internet player on the app I'm using is fine, I'm getting DD plus showing. When I change to use an external player, either Mx or VLC or always shows as stereo 2.0.
Tried various settings and codecs and so far no luck.
Any ideas?
I’m having this same issue on FireTV 4k
Did anyone find a solution for this issue?
Has there been any updates to this issue?
Still no update in sight? There are so many topics on this
I have the same problem on sony A8 oled. With inbuilt player I get 5.1 to AV receiver. Mx player and vlc stereo only. The problem is that the inbuilt player won't stream from a NAS while mx player and vlc will, but stereo only. So I have to copy files to tv.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Just for the sake of update on alternative options.
I've spent 2 days trying to find the working solution to stream my files from NAS on Amazon FireTV stick with 5.1 audio output.
My setup:
FireTV Stick > HDMI Audio Extractor box > TV
HDMI Audio Extractor > Optical > Logitech Dolby Digital 5.1 (Z906)
While Amazon Prime and Netflix play 5.1 just fine, I was struggling to make it work with NAS stored files.
ES File Explorer, MIXplorer, Xplore built-in players do not support audio passthrough
MX Player - while it has some options for audio passthrough - I have failed to make it work, in the end I was getting stereo downmix no matter what I've tried in settings
VLC player - same as for MX Player
Nova player - found a hint in this thread and tried it. Indeed, it was the first success. But partial. AC3 passthrough worked fine, but AAC/DTS tracks were failing, so with passthrough enabled - no sound for AAC/DTS
I continued searching for alternatives and finally found almost perfect solutions: Vimu media player
It's not free, by 3 bucks don't hurt.
While Vimu also supports passthrough for AC3 only... it has BUILT-IN transcoding support to convert AAC/DTS/DTS HD/etc. into AC3!!! And I confirm it works! Also it has very clean interface to browse your Network storage devices, so you can skip using File managers and navigate through your library directly from Vimu. However I am missing a bit some of the functionalities from Nova like metadata / description/posters fetching from online databases.
The only Vimu feature which was not working well for me was 'Preferred Audio language' - despite of having English enabled, it was still playing first track by default.
Hope someone will find this helpful and will save some time

Thank You for this information, you are absolutely right, Vimu does pass the Dolby 5.1 and probably Dolby Atmos(I don't have a receiver for Atmos) on thru my LG tv to my receiver from my 4k Firestick! I was only able to get Netflix and Prime to do that until I loaded Vimu and it plays my local movie files from my server perfectly. Had previously tried MXPlayer, VLC, and several others to no avail! Thanks again!
