No sound in 720p .mkv, how fix? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I transfered some 720p .mkv files to my tablet (external sd) and the video plays fine in both the built in player and in mx player but I don't get any sound. If I play a smaller .avi file it plays fine with sound in both players. Any ideas?
Sorry if it has been posted before.

try using another player like diceplayer. I used to have this problem when playing mini 720p with the stock player, but not with the diceplayer

I'll just leave this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686675
Long story short: use software decoding for the audio.

Dice player works fine. Can I somehow watch full screen with out the black row with the three dots in de bottom?
Starting to hate this tablet more and more every day..

If you're rooted, get GMD GestureControl from the Play Store, and install Busybox.

Im noot rooted. Will probably root when a good port of AOKP is out

Why hate this tablet? it's the 3rd best atm!
And it's not the tablet's fault! Your video might have an unsupported audio format, or it may be corrupted.. Try playing the video from your tab on the pc. And can you precise what format is the audio?

I hate the lag when i browse the internet, my SGS is faster when scrolling around on internet pages. The internet apps I have tried freezes up ang gives FC at least 5 times every time i on the internet.
And many other things.
The videos works fine on my PC. It worked once with dice player but now I don't get any sound with dice player =/

New device, new fw, new problems. Most will be fixed by updates. The build.prop tweaks, for instance, made my .17 DE internet browsing _in powersave mode_ totally lag free (!).
You should wait for firmware updates, though. I'm afraid of what will happen if you accidentally brick your device.
Sound in players is accomplished by choosing software decoding of the audio.

[Q] Media player recommendations for HC that can play mkv's

Hello all,
I have finally made the jump into the honeycomb hideout from my rather comfortable gingerbread house (deck's stable evo build). On GB, the qqplayer was/is the perfect media player for most of my needs, plays mkvs,ogm,subtitles. On the newest update on our 7.0+'s, the player installs fine and can play videos that are placed on the internal storage (the program doesn't see the microsd for whatever reason), but the settings cannot not be accessed to change anything. I thought that the bottom status bar was hiding the options, but even with the bottom bar hidden with Honeybar, no options appear. I installed Rockplayer too, but had the same issue on not being able to access any options. At least Rockplayer sees the microsd and can play from it, although it won't find/play the embedded softsubs, like the qqplayer.
So, what media players are people using that work? Or can anyone think of a workaround?
I've been using MX Player, though I just picked one and it worked for 1080p mkv so I didnt bother looking further
found one!!!
I tried MX, it plays files, but didn't support internal subs. I have found a damn near perfect player, "mvideoplayer" version 2.91. Plays 720p mkv's with internal subs no problem.
Also there is Dice Play which let you play additional format regardless of system codecs
Have you tried Mobo?

[Q] Video player with variable audio delay?

I'm having problems with audio being behind video while using bluetooth.
I can't find any video players on the market (play store now) that enable a programmable delay - wondering if anyone knows a player that can do it?
I'm having problems with avi's, specifically XviD video, mp3 audio, written with Nandub v1.0rc2. A few years old. Although pretty much every video I have gives delay problems.
I'm running a TF101, Android Vers 3.2.1, bluetooth vers 6.24, kernel vers 2.6.36.4+ (1.2GHZ accelerated), build HTK75.revolver-3.11.1_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216.
And using MX Player Pro 1.6B. Tried a few other players, tried via Skifta, tried off the micro SD card, and confirmed no audio delay via Windows Media Player on my Win7-64 box.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dice player has it, but it´s limited to +1 sec or -1 sec. I´m searching for a player with at least +5 sec or -5 sec... Did you already find it at this time?

I know this is an old thread... but I finally sorted it out. I reset my tf101 to stock HC, then let Asus update it by FOTA to ICS, v4.0.3, and build number IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615. Which looks to be 6 months old... maybe it's Asus' last update for the TF101.
Anyways, I still got the bluetooth audio delay. About half a second. Making movies unwatchable. After a bit of trolling the net I found out BSplayer has a variable audio delay in a recent update. Tried it, and it WORKED, after setting delay to 550ms. So I've dumped MX player that I've used since the start, and as soon as my credit card gets replaced I'm paying for the full version of BS player. I found MX player to be great, over the 12 months I've used it, but it hasn't fixed the delay issue, so it's gone.
Now it's time to try a Revolver ICS ROM... I miss being able to close background apps, and I miss having a charge indicator for the dock battery.
And I still can't play 720p .mkv video without converting it to baseline profile .mp4. - maybe I'll upgrade to a nexus 10 one day.

Are you re-encoding video for playback?

So I'm looking at the infinity but was wanting to check on what the experiences most people are having with video playback.
How are you playing your files, streaming? BSPlayer, SdCard or onboard.
If you are encoding your files or just playing the native mkv/mpg files, subtitles etc.
I'd be very excited if you're able to play 1080p at high profile with 20+ fps.
I can stream my 1080p mkvs over wlan and play them with bsplayer @ ~ 23 fps with no recoding involved.

this. No need to do anything. Just drop the movie on your memory card and you are good to go. BS Player can handle anything.

Sweet, still would like some specifics on what file types people are able to play.

BS Player can handle everything. MKV, AVI, FLV, MP4, its played everything i have thrown at it. I was even able to stream wmv from my pc.
There is a new quirk that has been forcing me to re-encode some videos lately.
About 1 out of 3 MKV files I have found (usually TV shows dowloaded online) have time/position information that is not readable by any android media player. What this means is that the file plays fine, but if you lose your place it is totally impossible to restart from any point other than the very beginning. So if you are 30 minutes into a 40 minute TV show there is absolutely no way to get back to the 30 minute point other than to play the whole MKV over again.
This has become VERY common lately. I have found no file characteristics that allow me to identify which MKV files have this problem. Only way to know is trial and error. Only thing to do with these files is to re-encode.
To check a file for this quirk just open it with any media player and then try to advance the position slider to some point in the middle of the video. When you let go the slider will go right back to the beginning. These videos can only be played start to finish and if you close the player it won't save your place and resume.
These files behave the same on my Infinity, TF300 and Excite 7.7 so its not unique to the Infinity alone.

Sounds like you are suffering from videos that do not support hardware acceleration (they require certain rates and options to be enabled).

[Q] Movies Freezing

I use a registered copy of ChewTune to rip iTune TV shops for watching on my TF700.
The transfer will state completed and apepar the correct size but about halfway to three Q's through the show it will free with a loud buzz.
Nothing I have tried such as moving beyond the point will help.
Tried several movies players with same results.
My question is there software that would scan the movie file and report or fix coding problems?
Thanks

Sounds to me like you either have something configured incorrectly in the ripper, or its buggy, but in either case it is unlikely a simple edit will fix the videos. The problem isn't likely a playback issue on your TF700, but try playing the vids on a pc and see if they work. If they do you might need to encode them differently. If not, then you might need a new ripper.
I am experiencing similar thing, but any show/movie stutters from beggining.
I use BS Player which worked perfectly fine until 4.2 version of android.
I think it is the ROM, not the movies. As mentioned, they work fine on PC/BoxeeBox - and they worked just fine on infinity, too - but not anymore.

Using MX Player on both 4.1 and 4.2 with no problems at all, perhaps your problem comes from BS Player.
I can second. I'm on CM10 using MX Player, and it can play my 1080p/5.1 bluray rips without any problems.

Been there, done that! Guys, loose both BS and MX and get Dice Player and all your problems will magically just go away! Works flawlessly over wifi too. Took me a month to figure this out and I had all your same issues. Thanks @jtrosky!!

Phone lags while watching movies

Ok so here's the deal...
Ive had the phone for like a month now. But i just realized that the phone has an odd problem with playing videos (some high quality ones)...
The problem is the movie constantly lags and gives a maximum of 2 or 3 fps...
Ive tried different players and using other file explorers...
And one thing i have noticed is that the time of the video keeps jumping and ticking like 00:48 to 49. 45. 47 and then 50....
Ive tried restarting the phone and the software is up to date...
I updated my phone to newest fw (.235) and I'm using MX Player Pro, watched the new logan movie in 1080p bluray. Worked flawlessy.
If you're not already on .235 you can try to flash, if you are you could try and reset the phone.
Or just try MX Player.
I used vlc and it worked ok...
The mx and the original player still lag tho...
I don't have any idea for it , can you help me ?
