[Q] MKV+AC3/DTS+.SRT Subtitles Player - is it possible ?

Hey there,
so far , I've been trying every player I could find , the one which play the AC3 sound got bad video or can't play .srt subtitles.
the ones that support .srt dont play sound.
basicly I live in Israel , I'd like to watch movie with Hebrew subtitles.
I'd love to be able to download movie and play it as-is without re-encoding it which is time consuming.
is there any solution ? or any working player ?

Have you tried MX Player yet? After playing with this player for a while, I decided to remove all other players.
MX Player is all I need. It play 720p mkv, sub (.srt and in .mkv). It has S/W decoding and H/W decoding...
Nice player up till now!

Try diceplayer.
diceplayer can play 720p High + DTS + MKV + SRT/SMI subs
If sub charset encoding is problem.
convert your subtitle file to UTF-8

MKV x264 Support

I was testing out some MKV files, and noticed stock player cant decode ac3 or dts. I rencoded some x264 to have stereo audio and that did play in stock media player but when I used mhl mirror the video wasnt that smooth.
I have not been able to purchase the Media Link yet but it is my understanding that you can only mirror the stock media player in order to use the phone at the same time as video playing.
Anyone have the media link and have had x264 media playback success?

All I need is Dice Player. Plays all my 720p h.264 mkv movies perfectly.

Can dice player be used with media link for the video player?

The hardware decoder doesn't seem to be good. Using MX Player, not only is there no audio with AC3, the video playback isn't smooth. Everything is fine with one of the software decoders.

With Dice, hardware acceleration is barely able to play this .mkv. Very jerky.

With software acceleration though, what appears to be playing smooth on the phone doesnt play smooth when using MHL mirroring. So that what worries me about media link if a developer decides to make their own video player compatible using the media link api.

I wonder if mkv is just no supported natively, as unbelievable as it may be. HTC doesn't list it as a supported format in the specs.

I have had 0 issues playing MKV movies on this phone. I've managed to play 1080p mkv movies with Dice player. Even as I skip through the video, it keeps up faster than my laptop does.

mkv playing with no sound :S Player Suggestions that don't lag ?

So playing mkv files with original videoplayer and mx player streams the video really well but with no sound :/ Do you guys know any good video player that doesn't lag, run smooth and support sound. ? btw Vplayer is lagging but sound works.

in this section, look for the thread regarding blu ray ripping. the answer is in there.

There are some posts already about this. I use BSPlayer.

bsplayer ftw

ffmpeg is the key
With BS Player or Dice Player, you need to use ffmpeg library. You need to copy a file named libffmpeg.so to /mnt/sdcard/. Sorry, but XDA rules forbid me to post URLs (not 10 posts yet). If you need the file, i can send you a dropbox link by MP.

MKV is a container format, meaning it can contain multiple tracks for video and audio in different formats (even subtitles and chapters are supported). The sound track probably is in DTS format. There are only a few players around for android that can play DTS encoded audio. BSplayer and VPlayer.
Depending on the bitrate of the video, VPlayer does "lag" on some movies for me, BSplayer hasn't done that yet.
edit:
If you can to know what tracks and file encodings are in the mkv check out MediaInfo (windows) or mkvmerge GUI from MKVToolNix (cross platform).

BSplayer streams all my 1080p from my server flawless. The fact that it gets subs auto is amazing. Best player i tried so far tbh

[Q] No sound from aac?

I downloaded a YouTube music video with YouTube downloaded. The file is mkv, audio container is AAC, and play with mx player. The video plays fine but there is no audio.
And I downloaded the custom codec and loaded it into mx player and disabled h/w decoding but there is no sound from the video, what is happening?

Can you collect the logs immediately after playing the video...?
It will be helpful to resolve the issue

truehd audio doesn't work

Hello,
I'm using the mx player pro on a Sony Xperia 1.
Mkv files with DCA audio codec work fine. Mkv files with trueHD don't play. VLC player is able to play the mkv files with trueHD audio codec on this device.
I use mx player because of the ability to change subtitle position. VLC doesn't have this feature.
Can there anything be done to make mkv files with trueHD audio codec play on MX Player?
Thank you for helping.
