Diceplayer 2.0.8 support plug-in codec.
so you can add your own codec support.
1. make libffmpeg.so
you can download ffmpeg source for diceplayer
http://diceplayer.inisoft.co.kr/technical-note
configure and compile
at configure stage you can add your own codec selection.
2. copy libffmpeg.so to /sdcard/libffmpeg.so
3. launch diceplayer
menu key -> settings -> enable custom plug-in
you can play all of ffmpeg supported codecs.
*If you want to use codec , you should have rights to use that codec.
How is it configure and complie..
I try it.. but hard...
please help... >_<
Sorry. It is hard for non dev guys
I get it.. so.. I do it ^^
success
but.. I curios how it build..
I need to help..
Thank You ^^
Here's the libffmpeg.so from the previous release. Put it on my galaxy nexus, loaded it as a plugin, and it works. I now have DTS again on the most current version of Dice from the market.
thanks you guys. finally the player is back to being superb
Rooted..?

So do I have to be rooted to do this..? I don't understand where to put the .so file at?
I'm super noob and just trying to get my .mkv files playing properly.
Any help would really be appreciated.
you don't need to be rooted.
download nathan118's zip file. extract it and place the contained "libffmpeg.so" in the root folder of your device. the root should be the folder you see when you connect your device to your computer. thats basically what the path "/sdcard/libffmpeg.so" in the first post means. if you proceed to enable the custom plugin in dice player it will show the path "/sdcard/libffmpeg.so" in the option for the custom plugin.
Thanks for the helping hand

Didn't Dice always had DTS? I thought it was MX Player that removed DTS
DicePlayer had to remove DTS as well for the same reason as MXplayer had to remove it: License issues.
The file from nathan118 is "fixing" this issue for DicePlayer.
Working on my Transformer TF201
I wonder if you can get even better media support by making the file yourself and selecting all the potential codecs. Sadly this is beyond my abilities to check
I'm having trouble with the libffmpeg.so plug in.
The DTS files would cause the player to kick back out when libffmpeg.so plugin was enabled. Without it enabled, it'd just say that the video file can't be played.
I had to download Diceplayer 2.0.6 with the Tegra Plug-in in order to get the DTS movies to work.
Is anyone able to get libffmpeg.so working on their Transformer TF101 ?

thx in advance
Would really love if MX Player do the same, the UI is just much better.
Oh yeah ! Thanks juami ! This works perfectly. I was so pissed off at DTS forcing you to remove the codec and refusing to sell it. Hope you never dorp the custom plugin feature )

No need to. I downloaded nathan's libffmpeg.so file (page 1) and put it on the root of my SDCard on my TF201 (Tegra 3), enabled Custom Plugins in Dice Player's settings and boom, it works.
DicePlayer on my TF201 doesn't require any additional lib to work (I suppose it's because the Tegra3 has the NEON instruction set and that's what DicePlayer uses by default). My Atrix 4G though is another matter, it does need the tegra2 plugin for diceplayer, and the libffmepg.so trick didn't work on the Atrix.

Was wondering if one injects the libffmpeg.so into the dicplayer apk and sign it, would it work like that?
thanks for this thread. finally my huge mkv file with dts audio is now working with newest dice app in the market(2.10).

Hey guys i'm using MoboPlayer and i've notice that When mirrorring on my TV that it doesn't work while playing avi or mkv yet can play both those standalone... anyone else having these issues? or has anyone else mirror'd movies successfully using another app?
I had problems with mobo+hdmi too. The picture froze both on TV and transformer.
Using vital player now and hdmi works fine. Beware that ONLY free version works. Donate version keeps FC and developer says it's because honeycomb authentication system and it's not working now.

i have that problem with Mobo and Rockplayer. will try out Vital too!
Those players can't play from th SD card thouggh
I use moboplayer. Works great. Make sure you get the additional codec pack for tegra. Forgot which one but it's somewhere in this forum.
I was also just tinkering with vital today. There is an option to set the root location where you start browsing. Simply set that to / and you can browse you entire tablet. Sgcard is not in/sdcard but /removable/microSD or sd
I don't need a signature.
Moboplayer and HDMI works fine for me. I also have the additional codec pack installed. Plays very smoothly.
The only thing that's "bad" about the HDMI mirror is the different screen ratio. The picture gets cut off at top and bottom. But since it's hiding the menu bar it's not really that bad

Ok, after upgrading to 3.1 I lost my cifs functionality...
Started looking around and finally found that the cifs.ko module from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058713
And more specifically: "modules - k2.6.36.3.zip".
I extracted the cifs.ko to system\lib\modules and changed persmissions to the default values of the other modules there (using root explorer, you also have to set the mounting to rw instead of read only).
Next downloading terminal emulator from the market and typing the following things:
'su' (changes to super user, terminal emulator asks for root permissions at this step)
and
'insmod cifs.ko'
After that set up shares with mount manager and cifs manager, and voila...
Unfortunately the 720p mkv I tried still didn't play smoothly (game of thrones) but atleast cifs and sharing/mounting worked!
720p x264 main profile level 3.1 worked fine for me. High profile is not supported according to official specs, so no surprises.

I just restored from a titanium backup.
I can play the avatar high profile clip no problem after the 3.1 update in 720p. It should be able to play mkvs, but it just needs a proper decoder from a player like mobo or vital, unfortunately they do not have poper mkv support yet.

that really sucks. the xoom is better at playing high profile now with the 3.1 update. granted you have to convert the files to mp4s and reencode the audio to aac. good thing is that converting the mkv to mp4 is a whole lot faster than reencoding the entire file.
check the xoom forum for tips.

But having to reencode is sucky though... I would love to simply be able to download 720p videos and play them.
But now with AC3 not being supported and these other quirks it's too much of a hassle. Guess I'll give it a shot on my SGS2, and perhaps the future will change some things.
Might actually be a reason to ditch the transformer and get another tablet with full support though. Even though all tegra2 tablets suffer the same issue of course.

This is incorrect no 3rd party app can add container parsing to Stagefright, and without Stagefright handling the videostream you don't get hardware acceleration.

I am able to play MKVs using stock Video player. Over the CIFS it pauses sometimes due to running out of data, but generally 720p h.264 MKVs are pretty smooth.

Tried moboplayer as well, with hardware decoding there is fluid video but no sound. With software decoding there is both but not fluid (and sound is out of sync).
Guess AC3 is simply a no go and parsing the video with hardware accelaration and audio with software processing is not an option. Perhaps when overclocked kernels are coming out for 3.1 there are some possibilities using software mode but I'm afraid there will be other (stability/heat) issues then.

Hi guys,
Waiting for android on the HP Touchpad, is there someone knows how to play divx (moovies) on that tablet with webos with a free application.
It seems that there only one soft who do that but not free.(around 7€)
Thx for yours advices.
find a video converter and convert to a supported format.
Probably mp4 is supported, don't know really.
A free one was called Format Factory.
as you say there is a paid app that can do avi, divx, xvid etc but nothing for free.
the best advice i can give you is to use the handbrake template in the following link to pretty much guarantee compatibility when converting video files.
http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html
also, if you have mkv files, you could use something like gotsent to convert them to mp4 and they should work.
What's the name of the app?
Kalemsoft Media Player...
http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/products-WebOS-KSMPlayer.html
Thanks for that.... other question I have is I have put credit card details into the webos app store and I still can't see any paid apps? help anyone?
nevermind ... seems Australia is failboat on the paid apps...
yeah paid apps doesn't work for australia at the moment.
probably never now.
easier to just convert them.

The preware build seems to have a problem that prevents it to install.
Download the app from precentral.net/touchplayer and then install it by using "Web OS Quick install" App.
It worked for me.
Mine installed but I dont get any sound Tried both .6 and .3 versions above.
Tried .avi and then converted to .mp4 no sound but movie plays. .mp4 plays with the native video player but doesnt scale to the right aspect ratio

How to build your own ffmpeg with DTS support
Firstly, this advice isn't for the light hearted - most people will give up very quickly. I myself am still fairly new to C and compiling in a unix/linux environment (I just completed a beginners unit in C programming - you won't need this).
You will need:
a Linux machine (or virtual machine) - I used Ubuntu 12.04 (on a virtual machine)
GCC and C compilers (Ubuntu should come with these)
The "latest" Android NDK - you can get it from here: developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
FFmpeg for MX Player source code: sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/ffmpeg
The attached modified build-ffmpeg.zip
The attached build-ffmpeg.zip contains a new build-ffmpeg.sh that I wrote from scratch as a replacement for the horribly messy one used by the developer. The config-ffmpeg.sh has also been modified such that all the lines that exclude codecs from the build (like --disable-demuxer=dts) have been removed along with a couple more that cause trouble when compiling. To build ffmpeg:
Extract the .tar.bz2 NDK
Copy the folder inside to "/usr/src/" (you will need root privelages to copy here - I ran Nautilus as root ["sudo nautilus"])
Rename it to "/usr/src/android-ndk-r8b" (Changing the "NDK="/usr/src/android-ndk-r8b" line in "config-ffmpeg.sh" didn't seem to work - it may work now with the updated build-ffmpeg.sh I wrote)
Extract your ffmpeg.7z somewhere. Extract the contents of build-ffmpeg.zip into this folder - replacing both build-ffmpeg.sh and config-ffmpeg.sh with the ones in the zip. This will make life much easier
Now open a terminal, cd to the location this file is in, and run "./build-ffmpeg.sh <your platform>". I used "./build-ffmpeg.sh neon" for my Nexus 7. Type some gibberish as <your platform> to see a list of valid platforms
Go and have a cup of tea while it builds (depending on your machine - this could take 30min ... I did this inside a virtual machine, so that's probably why)
Once it's done, inside the output folder should be another folder - with the name of the platform you specified. Inside that will be all the .so files you need. Grab this folder and put it on your device somewhere
Open MX Player on your device. Go to Settings -> Decoder -> Custom Codec, and navigate to the folder you put on your device. Press OK
Once MX Player restarts, you can check if the codec is in use by going back to Custom Codec to see if it is using the folder specified
Voila! You should now be able to get audio on movies with DTS sound =D
If someone could test these instructions for me (ktsamy I'm referring to you) that'd be great =D

Manoj Tegra 2 is capable of playing 1080 P videos, But Samsung haven't provided the support/required drivers, In CM 10 also our Dev's are using Samsung's libs only so we are not able to play 1080P ......
UPDATE to "How to build your own ffmpeg with DTS support"
UPDATE: YOU DO NOT NEED A ROOTED ANDROID DEVICE! You can copy these .so files into a folder in your device's sdcard folder. Once this is done, from MX player, go to settings -> decoder -> custom codec. Locate the folder with all the .so files you made, and hit ok. Now it should work.

The "latest" Android NDK - you can get it from here: developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
FFmpeg for MX Player source code: sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/ffmpeg
A rooted android device where you can directly access "/data/data/com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad/lib" (and a means of getting files there from your computer)
Now,
Extract the .tar.bz2 NDK
Copy the folder inside to "/usr/src/" (you will need root privelages to copy here - I ran Nautilus as root ["sudo nautilus"])
Rename it to "/usr/src/android-ndk-r8b" (Changing the "NDK="/usr/src/android-ndk-r8b" line in "config-ffmpeg.sh" doesn't work - the script is too messy)
Now extract your ffmpeg.7z somewhere, and in that same location make a folder called "libs", and inside that make a folder called "output"
Now open config-ffmpeg.sh, and look for the line "--disable-demuxer=dts", which you then (without hesitation) need to remove. This line explicitly removes support for the DTS audio codec from the ffmpeg codec package - it is evil.
Now open a terminal, cd to the location this file is in, and run "./build-ffmpeg.sh <your platform>". I used "./build-ffmpeg.sh neon" for my Nexus 7.
Go and have a cup of tea while it builds (depending on your machine - this could take 30min ... I did this inside a virtual machine, so that's probably why)
Once it's done, in the folder, look inside "./libs/output/<your platform>" (I went to "./libs/output/ffmpeg_v7_neon"). There should be a handful of .so files in there.
Find a way to copy these files to "/data/data/com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad/lib" on your Android device (overwriting the existing ones)
Voila! You should now be able to get audio on movies with DTS sound =D

Here's what I have compiled for my Nexus 7.
NOTE: NO ROOT REQUIRED!!!
The attached zip file contains the files for the ffmpeg codec WITH DTS audio support (quite a few .mkv movies use this), compiled for devices that use "NEON" (some architectural enhancement in the CPU to do with floating point numbers). That means it should work with any device that has a Tegra 3 processor, and I'm sure lots of others. A few quick Google searches should reveal information about your phone's processor. Here's how to get the codec working:
Extract the contents of the .zip somewhere on your device - take note of where the folder you extracted is.
Once this is done, from MX Player, go to Settings -> Decoder -> Custom Codec
Locate the folder you extracted, select it and hit OK. Once MX Player restarts, it should work.
Remember, your device's CPU must have "NEON". I'll compile ffmpeg for other platforms within the next few days for compatibility with other devices.
More codecs on the way

Thanks for the thanks =D
I shall have the codec compiled for more platforms tonight, so those who are using Samsung phones with a different processor and get really laggy video should see an improvement with a codec compiled for your phone's processor. Once this is done I'll also post a link to this thread in the one you suggested. It feels good to already be appreciated after just joining XDA Developers.
Ffmpeg codecs, all of them!
I have now compiled ffmpeg for several different platforms. Your device is likely to have a processor that is either:
A Tegra 2
Uses NEON (the Tegra 3 and a lot of newer processors use this)
Is an ARMv6 compliant processor with vfp (older phones)
Is an ARMv6 compliant processor (older phones)
Is an ARMv5 compliant processor (very old phones)
Is an x86 compliant processor
Is a MIPS compliant processor
A quick Google search of your device should reveal what processor it has, and another Google search should reveal information about the processor. Once you know which one of these categories your device fits, copy and extract the corresponding zip to your device, and take note of its location. Now open up MX Player, go to Settings -> Decoder -> Custom Codec, and once inside the folder you extracted, hit OK. After MX Player has restarted, MX Player will not only have support for DTS audio, but a few other codecs as well that were explicitly disabled by the developer.
Great!!!:good:

Ohh My God!!!
I love you dylanh333. You saved my life. Went to a lot different forums, they got the lbffmpeg or something like that, still didnt play audios DTS with my Galaxy S3. All i could find was for Arm's processors and neon, no tegra builds. Always it was like"if you dont see your processor here, compile it and do your own custom build". I found you finally and not only my tegra2 processor but the most common ones as well. Good guy greg man lol. Thanks for everything

I have now compiled ffmpeg for several different platforms. Your device is likely to have a processor that is either:
A Tegra 2
Uses NEON (the Tegra 3 and a lot of newer processors use this)
Is an ARMv6 compliant processor with vfp (older phones)
Is an ARMv6 compliant processor (older phones)
Is an ARMv5 compliant processor (very old phones)
Is an x86 compliant processor
Is a MIPS compliant processor
A quick Google search of your device should reveal what processor it has, and another Google search should reveal information about the processor. Once you know which one of these categories your device fits, copy and extract the corresponding zip to your device, and take note of its location. Now open up MX Player, go to Settings -> Decoder -> Custom Codec, and once inside the folder you extracted, hit OK. After MX Player has restarted, MX Player will not only have support for DTS audio, but a few other codecs as well that were explicitly disabled by the developer.

I think ffmpeg codecs use sw decoding. Have you seen any lag with 5.1?

Hey guys!! First of all I just want to thank the developer for doing such an amazing work building the best available video player on andoid, and for free. You rock!
I want to know if there could be a chance to take advantage of root access for being able to browse system folders (like “data”) when manually loading subtitles. In my case, the reason I need this feature is because I’m using MX as default player with Popcorn Time and this app, in my device, only works fine if it’s cache folder is setted to internal data folder (by default). So it downloads the video and subs into that folder, but the subtitles needs to be loaded manually on MX and obviously I can’t do it.
If you think there would be any other way to solve this I’d really apreciate the info.
Greetings to all and thanks in advance for the help!! (and sorry about my english...)
Mx already support root access.

Hey warvevo! Thanks for stopping by. I've tested latest nigthly build, activated root access but still can't browse system folders when loading subtitles. I think the only feature enabled is to read/write/delete on external SD cards. Maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks anyway!!

Will you save some video file in system folders?
I dont think its nessesary. Root access is for getting the avility to del or ren im kitkat.

Hey @josuearisty!!
Like I wrote in my previous post, the reason I need this is because Popcorn Time, in my device, only works with default cache folder path which is "data/data/pct.droid/cache". It stores video and subs into that folder and while the video is sent automatically to MX with an http server, subs needs to be loaded manually so, if I'm not able to browse that folder I have to download them separately which is really annoing.
Thanks anyway for the info. :good:

Tried it. When I select data folder in browser, it doesn't get into it, in fact, It doesn't do anything... :crying:
Same thing as when I try to browse into that folder while loading subs. Like if the browser doesn't have root access.

MX Player will ask root permissions only when it executes some editing operations (like delete, rename) in sdcard. It will not use it for folder selection activity.

Hey @ktsamy! Exactly, and thats why I'm asking for this to be a feature for future releases. Hope it will!!

If you add the entire root or data partition, it will impact media scanner's performance. So, It's not suitable for everyone. Only experienced users can make use of it. Better to have it as an optional.
Anyhow I will try to convey your request to the developer.

Thank you so much @ktsamy!! I really only need this function in the browser that's called when loading subtitles as, for the video, Popcorn Time uses a stream which is automatically sent to the player. But I don't know if this needs to be "activated" on media scanner too. I mention it just in case.
Greetings and thanks again for your help!!

If you are streaming from external app, it's better to contact the application developer to use MX Player API to easily stream the subtitle together.
MX Player API documentation is available here

Thanks again for the info @ktsamy! I'll suggest this in PT forum. And just in case they can't do it, I'll wait for this feature.
Greetings!!

Hey @ktsamy, how are you?? Just wanted to comment that they tried to use API but subtitles are not shown (GIT). Any tips to improve??
Thanks!!

@emacrack Would you post logcat log after starting MX activity? MX leaves details on given extras.

Hey @bleu8888! Thanks for stopping by. You mean the Zip generated by MX on bug report?? If not, please, tell me how and I'll share it.
Thanks again!!

Yes. You are right.
Kindly post the logs (i.e, zip file generared on Report Bug)

Here is the Bug Report generated by the app. I've now downloaded the Popcorn Time source from Git and compiled with some little modifications but I still can't get subtitles to load automatically on MX. I've tried with Uri and direct "subs.srt" file path (wich is stored in mnt/sdcard/Download folder) but no luck. If you have something to recommend please let me know and I'll try.
Thanks!!

@emacrack The log actually does not show anything about playback screen. Please make note that ActivityScreen dumps passed extras.
