Anyone using DicePlayer?

Has anyone here been using DicePlayer as their video player? I just bought it recently after the dev fixed a subtitle issue I pointed out on the spot.
It can play 1080p high profile MKV's with just about any audio format (AC3, FLAC, etc.) on the Infuse and Galaxy S series without any sort of lag or reduced quality. Even the Galaxy S2 can't do that out of the box (it fails the "birds" test). Everything is completely hardware accelerated, so it doesn't drain battery as much as software players—CPU sits at 400MHz during playback. It also has the second-best subtitle rendering (internal MKV SSA/SRT supported) I've seen behind MX Video Player.
And best of all, it works with ANY ROM. MKV support was one of the few things originally holding me back from using non-Samsung ROM's, but now I can watch my Bluray rips on MIUI or CM7 without any issues.

THANK YOU! I've been looking for the perfect video player for CM7, and this one is it. Now I just have to wait for MHL functionality...

good find. if it weren't for mhl I might run cm7 or miui with that. also just a comment, its a shame that the manufacturers can't write software this good, and the ones that can don't care to offer it to the customer. imagine if Samsung had full documentation on mhl and all the video drivers, developers like the creater of this app could make these phones amazing.

Awesome man thanks a ton. Been looking for a MKV playerfor my infuse for a while that actually WORKS

ok guys the developer doesnt have this up for purchase now because of a problem with their account but i was playing with this and the mhl together and it actually doesnt mirror when using mhl, it output native resolution of the video just like the samsung player but scans better and plays smoother! i highly recommend this app to all!. i downloaded some 1080p trailers and played them through a computer monitor and there is no way they were playing at a lower resolution the clarity was amazing. i would have expected it to be downconverted to the res of the phone screen but no, something with the way the video drivers and opengl libraries are working gives the mhl full hd output with dice player as well as the samsung player. but the subtitles dont play through mhl, something i can live with for sure. also the annoying touch screen controls dont output through mhl unless it is in software decoding mode which is a plus.
i cant wait till they get their market account fixed so i can buy this app.

Free version currently still shows
*** Currently can not purchase the full version because the checkout account is suspended.
This is the only video player I found that could playback 720p mkv smoothly through dnla on my Samsung Galaxy S. Here's my setup.
Samsung Galaxy S / Skifta / Diceplayer (Full purchased off the market in Nov 2011)
Server running Serviio dnla server
1080p stutters but I think that is down to the single core in the Galxy S. 720p smooooooth.
I paid £3.35 in Nov for the full version of Diceplayer from the market but now can't reinstall since changing rom as I can't download it again from the market?
I didn't backup my apps with titanium before doing the upgrade or I could restore the app only.
I have emailed the developer with my receipt but have received no reply.
I could try and get hold of the apk but am unsure if the market license check will work when there is a problem with the developers checkout account?
Any ideas?

If you bought it through the market, you should be able to redownload it through your Google account. I recently reinstalled DicePlayer through the market, even with that notice on the market page (although it was on the same ROM). Also, 1080p doesn't stutter on my Captivate. It's probably the video, as even certain 720p videos stutter on my Infuse with DicePlayer (but only a specific couple of files).

[Q] Can the Tab 2 7.0 Play 720p MKV files nativley like older Samsung Galaxy S?

I have a Galaxy S 4g, which plays 720p mkvs perfectly fine. No stuttering or audio issues etc. It also seems to play just about any video format I've come across in my file library without issues. This is using the stock "Video Player" app.
EDIT: I guess I'll answer my own question, it appears to play 720p mkvs just fine. I went out and got one of these soon after posting, I happen to be by a best buy and figured what the hell. So far so good.

[Q] playing m4v?

I just got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and was wondering if anyone knows of an app or something I can put on the Tab in order to play M4V files. I'm not having the best of luck converting to MPEG4, FLV, AVI, or 3GPP which are formats supposedly supported by the Tab (using Adobe Photoshop CS4 Media Encoder).
What are my options?

Did you try mxPlayer ?
I don't know if it supports the file format or codec you mentioned, but it never fails me.

no i'm trying to play a 720p video.

looking at the specs of your phone it must allow at least 720p playback. have you tried other video players like vlc or dice player?

i tried most of the apps bt none of them has helped.my friend's hcl u1 tablet also doesn't support hd playback by default but when i tried playing a 1080p movie in mx player by enabling h/w+ decoder it played flawlessly so i'm wondering why i'm unable to select h/w+ decoder in my galaxy s duos while playing specifically hd videos only otherwise h/w+ decoder works fine fr non hd content.

if you want you can root and use scripts like thunderbolt to boost your phone's performance.
h/w+ codec doesn't work for all videos. so its no use thinking about it.

In gallary of galaxy s duos it should run 720p video of avi and mp4 smootly but the other for the format we need to install player
But u have installed the mx player it should had detected video format to run smooth
Try different player like Bsplayer or go to setting of Mx player and switch to s/w decoder for all the video It should work

i have tried every thing but nothing is helping me out...

it works
changing the decoder from hardware to software in mx player did work! Really!
1080p runs like a charm, at naturally smooth frame rate.
answer is simple, graphics hardware in s dous is not capable of handling the video on its own and with full hardware acceleration. point of shame, though, ace 2 can even record camera at 1080p. on the other hand, processor is good enough.
my guess is, class of sd card also matters. there may be other apps using the card and for mx player, it only gives a fraction of the full read speed which makes the frame rate look bad.
I used class 10 scan disk, 16 gigs and s/w encoder in mx player, it runs as smooth as the screen can bear. not as robust as my galaxy s2 does. but it goes to the better screen quality, instead..

Hello. On MX player did you try changing the amount of cores used to 2 in the settings because it's a dual core phone? Also I noticed that your phone uses the Adreno 203 GPU. That's not a very good GPU for some HD videos. The thing is it depends on the codec the video is using. If the video is using h.264 with a .mkv container than you can forget about trying to watch that particular video on your device lol. I'd recommend using the .mp4 or .flv (youtube) containers. Those tend to work much better with lower end GPUs. Also it helps if your device has "HW" or hardware acceleration. If your device can do that then enable it. That should help play things much smoother.
