I have 720p mkv files that have my anime in them. MXPlayer using HWA shows a bit of lag. Using the SW(fast) option works perfectly though. Any video players that can handle 720p mkv anime episodes? Or is this a limitation of the sensations hardware?
BS player

Thank youfor the link, been waiting for vlc for a long time. I love vlc on my pc and laptop so i hope it works and will be testing it.
MX player is pretty good , it is hardware accelerated and according to devs dual core optimized, and its FREE
MXPlayer with mkv files working just fine for me.
i never had any problems with mx video player. it's dual core optimized and suptitles are shown in a very good way (font etc. changeable). i used to watch dragonball z episodes in hd, no other player could play the sound while using HWA. mx player has the option to use HWA for video, but software acceleration for audio. very useful. it is very stable and has a nice gui, too! give it a try!
best is diceplayer ...no doubt

Love Dice Player. This one gets the most play time for me because it plays damned near everything with HW acceleration and the interface is very clean.
Occasionally I do have to use other players though. That's when I just pick amongst Mx, Mobo, QQ, BS or V player. Unless the video is an obscenely large mkv with soft subs and like 7.1 surround sound audio, one of these will usually play what I want.

You mean Dice? It's fine for me. I watch soft subbed mkvs practically every day with this thing. Version 1.9.8 ad supported version.
+1 for Dice Player.
Works great on my ICS Sensation and ICS Xoom.
mxplayer good player
BS player, I second this.
DicePlayer - purchased a while ago (mainly for my Tegra 2 tablet) but it works as should on the Sensation, as well.
DICE Player has a better HWA performance than MX Player for me on my Sensation but it's subtitle support isn't as good as MX Player.
On stock ICS, EVERY player is laggy/choppy with any playback with HW. SW not so bad. Anyone else have this?
Yup, on gb is fine. On ics every hw is laggy.

im going to upgrade to a nexus s 4g this month, and i have 2 questions about playing videos on the phone:
from what i understand, the nexus cant shoot HD, but can it play HD videos that i load onto the phone?
is there an app that can play .avi cuz id really hate to convert my videos.
No I dont think HD video work, I forget the app but there is one to play .Avi it wasnt flawless tho
RockPlayer. AVIs are flawless, MKVs are flawless as well but there is a bug with no audio being outputted when hardware decoding MKVs. .AVIs have absolutely no problem
MoboPlayer is pretty good too
Ill havd to try rockplayer is it free? I tried a app that needed unlocking after 15 days

Yes theres a free version available on the market. Moboplayer is reallh good too.

thanks for the info
i meant really. rockplayer is still my recommendation of choice, paid app of course (you have to get it through his website)
I Dont know it man, trying the free version on the market and it keeps freezing every time I open a 720p AVI file
my nexus s love mobo player.
720p working great with it. (subtitle support also)
So I'm thinking of getting the AT$T HTC One X. My dad got one when it released and has been really happy with it. I tried it out and I like it too, but there was one problem I had. I was trying to play some music videos that I had which were downloaded in 720p H.264, and they wouldn't play well at all. They stuttered, the audio lagged, overall it was unwatchable. I tried a few different apps like Diceplayer, BSplayer, and a few others, but it was the same on all of them. Now, when I look at the specs of the phone, it claims to have H.264 support. So I am wondering if this is similar to the ATRIX 4g(my current phone) in that it can hardware decode H.264 content, but not if it is encoded in Hi-profile H.264. I really don't want to bother with converting media files before I can play on the phone, especially since I watch a lot of things with subtitles, and its a huge pain to make encoders keep the subtitles.
So if anyone can give me some info about how to get H.264 and specifically Hi-profile H.264, I would greatly appreciate it. If I can get this working on his phone, I will go out and buy a One X tomorrow.(I tried searching but I haven't been able to find anything.)
Try using MoboPlayer or MX player to play x264 videos (or any videos really). They both have hardware support and don't have a problem with any of the x264 videos I made.
Got it to work with bsplayer with the armv7 support codec

This. Try going to software decode if you run into issues with hardware decode, but between both modes, it has played every video file I could throw at it perfectly.

use mx player, hardware+ works for almost every format including mkv and be sure to use the arm v7 codex with neon acceleration for better battery life and performance.
I had VPlayer, but when I was watching a movie with 720 p or higher, the video seemed choppy not to mention some buffering going on even with the maximum buffering. Does anyone have any recommendations for a phenomenal movie player for this device? I am also concerned that the audio might lag the video by just enough that its noticeable. I don't mind forking over a few bucks as long as the app works as promised.
Try BSPlayer or Dice Player (with additional library for decoding DTS audio, see my apps thread).
Does mxplayer not work?
I loved MX Player on my TF101, but on the TF700, it wasn't to use software to decode the movies, while Dice and BSPlayer use full hardware decoding.
If MX Player supported hardware decoding on the TF700, it would be my go to player like it was on my TF101... But, it doesn't (at least not yet).
I too would recommend BS Player.

from the recommendation of all the guys here i bought bsplayer. i haven't used any other media player since. ok, it's only been four days, but still...
I use DICE player and it has been able to play everything that I throw at it, definitely recommended !
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
Well thank you for the responses! I will give BS player and dice player a look and see how they compare. I wish the VPlayer would work since I already paid for it a while back but thats life I guess.
BS Player will play 1080p MKVs over wifi.
we should just creat a sticky saying that BS Player is the only player you will ever need for this device.

There is the sticky thread on apps, but nobody likes to read when coming to the "xda-userfriendly-helpline forum", typing one question and getting others to work is so much easier
BS Player for sure. This player will play any bullsh*t you throw at it. hence the BS in the name. Okay I made that up, but it's true.
It's always good to have options, I have Dice and BS Player installed. Dice even has a nice smb function to play streamed movies over shared folders!

BS has that as well.
I personally think that Dice performs better and more "professional" looking than BS Player...

Thats why i installed BS, MX and Vplayer, its free anyway !
BS is by far the one i use most because it plays all my 720p mkv movies with subtitles smoothly, with other players had some issues.
kind regards,
Can confirm that BS player can play 1080p MKV's that makes MX player stutter and freeze. Kind of expensive for the paid version, though. And less intuitive touch controls...

Confirmed. Just switch to H/W decoding in the settings. Dice should work too.
And you can just test BSPlayer Free, if you're unsure, without paying for it (with AdAway, if ads bother you). Then support the developer, if it suits your needs.

Hey guys i just want to ask if any of you have tried playing 1080p or even 720p videos on the nexus s because im running on slimbean 3.0 marmite kernel and I used bs player to play HD videos but it will not be a smooth playback... does anyone have any idea on how to make the playback be smooth? Poor maybe this is hardware limitation?

Use MX player. 720 is fine.

Try MoboPlayer

If you haven't come across any solutions, I'd suggest Dice Player.
I've tried VLC player and it runs HD videos smoothly and amazingly. It's still in BETA but it's amazing. I'd give it a try, it's free so you won't be losing anything. It also plays any format and you can use it to listen to your music. Another cool feature is it allows you to stream videos on it.

I don't know if BS Player has the option but use MX Player and while your video is playing, choose SW Decoding, since HW decoding makes the video stutter

Can't say I watch too much 1080 video on my phone (do most of my video watching on my Note 8 tablet), but MX Player is what I use too.
The HTC stock player has always been a joke. Its not compatible with a lot of formats/codecs, I've never really made any use of it aside from watching the videos I've taken with the phone's video camera. In general, I've never been much a user of stock players from any manufacturer. There is always going to be incomplete format support and/or performance lag. I'm guessing its due to licensing of various proprietary formats/codecs. Good 3rd party players are the way to go on Android.
Why the stock player lags now on Sense 5, when it didn't before, I can't say for certain. Lots has been updated in Sense 5, but HTC seems to break as many things as they fix sometimes. So this may be one of those cases. I haven't read about this issue before, so there is likely no easy fix.
