Using a player like MX Player or Dice, is playback smooth for you with mkv files using hardware acceleration? Do you get sound if the audio is ac3?

I am using BS Player (mostly) and 720p mkv playback is actually (and surprisingly) even better than on my Asus Transformer.

Don´t know about that.
I'm able to play 1080p anime that has ac3 audio, .ass subtitles, in an mkv container and the video track is in h264. I'm able to play it with MK Player. This device handles it like a champ. No lag here!

It goes smooth with RockPlayer.
+1. I'm getting also slow playback with some video files (not only mkv) if HW activated with DICE or MX Player. Software Player is working like a charm on the other hand... I don't know if this is normal behaviour... In fact we don't have "hardware" to help decoding, have we?
@other people in this thread: note that he's asking about hardware decoding... You're all reporting smooth playback, but you don't specify if you use hardware decoding.

BTW, I can't play that "birds" file smoothly with my HTC One S. Tried Dice and MX Players, Software and Hardware.
I don't think our phone can handle 40 Mbps MKV smooth... No way.

Are you sure? I can't... Hardware player throws an error (something about system player can't play that file)... and software player is slow as DICE and MX... ¿¿¿???
Was watching a .mkv file with MX Player and it looked not that great. For what ever reason Mx Player wasn't supporting H/W Accelaration for this particular video. So i tried another player (BS Player) and the H/W Accelaration worked flawless and the video looked nicer =)
I was able to watch the birds video on mobo player without any perceived lag. From what I could tell, it was using HW acceleration by default, but I can't confirm that it was actually doing so.
quick question does your htc one s heat up when you watch those videos like 720p or 1080p?

Yup. Try with RockPlayer…
And, as asked, I tested by hardware… software just can't handle that.
I don't understand then... There's no config involved here, so I just can't understand why we can't play that file and you don't see an problem... ¿?
This is a screenshot of what I get if I try to play birds file within RockPlayer, in hardware mode:

Do you use stock ROM, or a cooked one?
Stock…
Try download again, maybe the file is corrupted.
If it's playable in software mode I don't think it's corrupted... But I'll try anyway.

I had a copy of The Boondock Saints that had AC3 audio and the audio wouldn't play.
That doesn't answer the HW question but it might have just been the copy I "borrowed".

Not the case I think, as I'm still with (branded) 1.53.(75).3. But definitelly it has something to do with versions, as you've seen.

Well before I had a older version: 1.53.401.2.
Then we could conclude that from version 1.53.xx.3 (mine), we've got this problem... ¿?
Third number is a rom id (401 is no branded, 75 corresponds to Orange Spain branded), so it doesn't care.

They don't have the mp4 license.. it's only a container, so quality or anything else is not infected if it's 3gp.

So it's possible to transcode the video you get from .3gp to .mp4? And you need a license to use .mp4? That must suck.

There's no transcoding needed; it's just a different container. A command-line utility like ffmpeg can quickly wrap it into an mp4 container for you if you prefer that. No difference in quality.
Or... simply change the file extention to .mp4 for a faster fix either on phone or in windows/mac.

Yes, it is strange to use a format with negative connotations like 3GP (I remember old dumbphones recording in 3GP, it's like the video equivalent of AMR...) but as others have said it's only a container so doesn't affect the actual quality which is determined by the codec used, namely H264 MPEG-4.

YAMB may be able to split and rejoin the 3GP container into an MP4, give that a try.
this will convert on the computer right? then i can use any converter, but it makes little sense to first download the video, convert it and then watch it.

DICE Player. Works very well with everything that I throw at it. Developer is also VERY active on the Transformer forums. It's been receiving a lot of updates recently. Only gets better & better. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.dice&feature=search_result -- there is a trial version but its for a certain time period.
But since you insisted free, I'd recommend https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&feature=search_result that as my second choice. Get the codec as well.

MX player is free and great

Sorry to hijack the thread but do any of the above mentioned players support HD mkvs ?
My biggest gripe about the otherwise excellent moboplayer is that it doesn't remember your file progress. Have to stop a show halfway? Well, you'll be manually seeking to it later. Rock Player, for all its many other faults, did handle resuming quite well.
I'll have to try MX and DICE. I wouldn't mind paying for a player if its awesome.

DICE Player. I've said it over 20 times in another thread about media players.
DICE has been pushing out updates heavily. I'd highly recommend it.
I highly recommend MX Player. I regularly download my TV shows to watch in bed if I don't feel like firing up the big TV (and to save electricity), and MX has had the best controls out of all of them, although VPlayer comes close, except VPlayer is paid.

If you want to save battery, use diceplayer.
Diceplayer use only 30-50% of CPU power. MX player(or vPlayer) use 70-100% of CPU power.
there is a comparison using Galaxy S.
http://sgalaxy.cz/forum/44/test-video-prehravacu/
diceplayer run at 400Mhz. MX video player run at 800Mhz.

DicePlayer is for me the best HoneyComb video player there is at the moment, simply because it uses the "Lights Out" dim mode.
Having the status bar always visible is so distracting that neither moboplayer nor MX were pleasant to use for me.
Of course, DicePlayer is not without its faults, plus it's not free, but it is being actively developed, and they listen to their customers, as they are constantly trying to improve the software.
I just got a reply from their support, to help diagnose subtitles issues.
I suggest you give the trial a go, it's worth it for the "Lights Out" mode alone.

what is the "lights out" mode?
I have too many blueray videos to watch on my tablet, but no video players can handle them.
I have tried diceplayer, which support hardware decoding in many formats. The performance is great.
All the other video players such as mx video player, moboplayer, don't support real hw decoding like dice player.
They only support the formats which the devices supported already. These 'hw decoding' players are just the devices video player with an different UI.

Dice player is brilliant with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. But its interface is too ugly and it dosen't support the streams as well as VPlayer, which I've used for about 1 year.
Now VPlayer has true hw decoding just like dice player. And I find that it has a new interface.
I can play 720p mkv, flv, avi, m3u8, ts, mov, 3gp with VPlayer new version in my galaxy tab.
And the blueray 1080p also works very well with my Galaxy S2.
thanks, seems great player
Hey loving your Video Player!

I'm not the developer, I found the new version from VPlayer's website http://vplayer.net
So I think the developers are building a new version for testing. The market version hasn't been updated yet.
Doesn't really buffer to well for online video playback. Switched back to MX for that and I'm using this for on phone video files.
Have you ppl tested BSPlayer Lite? It supports HW decoding as well and ui is nice.
Looks good, but videos are lagy on sgs. MX is still the best player.
Everyoneis missing the point. OP is overworking his devices for no reason. 1080p on a phone screen. Why? Don't complain about choppy playback when your trying to view a video (priated to boot) that's overall MBps is way to much for the device.
Either format the video for tthe device or stream it.

Please test it and post your update

It is told to play 720p mkv without any issues(unlike MX Player.)
Being BETA,its slower than final. So, wait for final Version to get MAX Performance
Buddy its not for us, It will not work on Galaxy R its only for ARM V7 processor with NEON version...
Our handset had Tegra 2 which does not support NEON instructions as told above by vikram.
However they have said they'll release it for other CPUs as well so we'll get one for us in sometime, then you can update the OP here.

If the video plays well in HW mode & you are not getting audio with custom codec, SW audio means custom codec is not loded properly.
Is it showing the codec path under custom codec?
yes it is and there was no error with loading the custom codec

Can you post the media info of the file which leads to crash?
If it possible post the log too.
all .mkv movies with dts are not working. there are all normal movies with 720p or 1080p. where is the log located ?
here is a sample media info of a movie that doesnt work:
SOURCE : BLURAY (1:2,40)
VIDEO : 1280x528 (crf-20 @ 1679)
SUBS : German + Forced, English

H/W+ is not compatible with all devices. If you are facing problems with H/W+, then you can still play with H/W with S/W audio enabled or S/W mode.
ok. but with h/w and s/w audio it doesnt work for dts movies. what can be the problem?
Are you getting video without problem?
Is there any toast msg like unsupported audio codec?
the .mkv movies with ac3 codec runs with sound and without problems.
no there is simply no sound available
What about video files with dts?
Are getting video or not?
Is there any error messages like unsupported audio?

I will be able to check it quickly if you share this video.
the ones with dts have video but no sound. its like the audio part is deleted.
@Sayazuri
When asks for resume don't resume. Press start over for first time. I think it's causing the problem. Else clear history from Settings 》General. It will erase the all activities record.
@bleu8888 do you want a dts sample or a ac3 sample?

I checked your video clip with custom codec.
And audio can be played with custom codec uploaded here.
Please try with latest custom codec. your custom looks like old one which is not compatible with latest MX Player.
i have installed the custom codec yesterday from the forum. it should be actually. it could be another problem on my android system. maybe from the new 4.4.2 update for my note N8010 ?

oh thats true. sry it was my fault the sample works on my device with audio too. but the movie still doesnt? i dont understand this. could the sample be in ac3?
I have found the problem ! i was trying to play this movie from my external harddrive with otg. i had a idea so i copied the movie to my sdcard and if i play this from there the sound works. looks like the mx player or the custom codec has some problem with OTG storages?
Thanks for your help
