Hi
are some tweaks do be done to use coreplayer or tcmp on the TP?
Coreplayer (1.20) plays sound but with a blackscreen and when i click on Tcmp(.71 and .81) i get an error message.
Anyone can help ?
Thanks
TCPMP .72RC1 with Flashbundle 1.4.4 works for me. Latest version of Coreplayer works for me too.
I had problems until someone pointed me at TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.CAB... search Google for it.
I use Coreplayer 1.2.5 (build 4506) and it works perfect. What kind of problems do you have with it?

What kind of files are you trying to play?
In Core, change video from settings to DirectDraw. So you see picture also.

Same for me. I have a swe 1.90 ROM.
The above TCPMP plus some tweaks work like a charm!
Thank you guys ,tcpmp is working now( i installed the cab you mentionned).
But are they tweaks to do to have a fluent picture with no lag ?
Th
Can someone please post some basic settings for Coreplayer on Raphael that give best performance? I know it depends on the video being played, but if there are any 'must have settings', I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
I found that even using TCPMP the playback from an AVI was still a touch blocky on full screen updates, this was not so on my previous Mini S.
With Core Player it's fine, checking the video settings Core Player has a video setting called 'Qtv Display' this seems really smooth but the downside appears to be that the brightness/contrast settings appear disabled in this mode.
Setting Core Player back to Direct Draw enables the brightness/contrast settings but then returns full screen playback to the same quality of TCPMP.
I'm going to brighten the AVI's with VirtualDub and leave Core Player in QTv mode.

Many thanks for your input. Anyone else have experiences to share?
well im not sure where you all payed for your coreplayers since everytime i go to the site it asks me to buy but a friend sent me a version of it and i followed most of the suggestions ppl made about settings and find that HD avi files still are a bit choppy.
not sure if there's any fix or setting changes that fix it or not
See this post!!!! Your questions will be answered!

Dang, I wrote out a long post, but after I clicked submit reply, xda wanted me to log in again, and I lost 4 paragraphs.
Anyway, long story short, I increased the buffer size by 10 times and it helped for one specific video that I was having trouble with. Most of my other videos still get low framerates during scenes with high movement (e.g. car chase scenes, fight scenes).
Maybe an expert can elucidate how to tweak these players or direct us to a website/thread with tips for Video/Buffering settings to get better framerates. In the meantime, I'll keep googling.
I'm still on stock ROM, using TF3D to scroll videos, which is choppy. They play fine via HTC Album and WMP, but TCPMP chokes. I've tried xvid avis and small (10MB) MP4s.
I've tried setting the buffer, tweaking the video render mode, Disable AVC deblocking filter, Override AVI frame rate based on audio. Any thoughts?
PS, running recomp version 3.
is is possible to boost sound....as v can boost sound in some video editor apps.
...also i have another problem....i cannot play 720p mp4 video propely in my s duos 7562 with sw also....it play but sound stop for 2-3 socond n then again countinoue... video plays almost fyn..........360p quality mp4 play fine without problem...so plz add hd support for s duos...
Sometimes with volume in 200% sound is terrible but it should be added just in case, there are more people asking for it.
For 720p playback, this is not due to mx player, this is a hardware issue. Your phone doesnt support 720p playback, maybe if video bitrate is low, maybe in that case your phone will play 720p flawless!

bro i think in setting their should be sound boost option ..so whoever require they can boost sound(as everone like high sound nowadays)....also mx player by itsself cannot slowdown bitrate for particular hd video while playing?? so it can be possible to play hd ...

Well, it could be added soon but its not a priority now.
There is no way a player can low the bitrate of a video on android or pc, you will have to use a converter on the pc or mediaencoder on your phone.
Your phone doesnt have the capabilities to play high bitrates videos.
A video player app cannot reduce the bitrate of a video. You would have to do this by re-encoding the video on your computer.
But yeah as josuearisty said, if your phone can't use HW or HW+ to play 720p, then it's because the device hardware doesn't support it. The Duos would not be powerful enough to play 720p without hardware support.
Hello, I took some videos using my Galaxy Note PRO 12.2. Then, I uploaded the videos to Facebook. How come the video quality is so poor? Is it due to some settings or during the upload, some kind of conversation was done automatically to reduce the video quality?
That could have a million reasons.
What codec did you upload it in? What container did you upload it in? (avi, mkv, etc) What settings did you pick on Youtube? Are you viewing the uploaded file in the preview or as everyone else would? Did you select the HD setting in the play settings?
Also post a link to the video so that we can see it and maybe help you.
Howdy everyone
can anyone please explain why playback of video streams that r MPEG2 is so bad? 99,1% of my library contains MPEG2 with acc/AC3 in a .ts container and i would like to be able play them back on my Android device without them looking being played back at 15fps!!! Even the old PC in my Dad's office with a 833Mhz Pentium III plays them on WMP flawlessly. On that old machine they look how they should look and that is like being played back 60fps!!!

I'm really annoyed about this I want playback that looks like 60fps.
Could it be that Deinterlacing doesn't work properly? And yes i already installed a costum codec. Typ ARMv7 NEON.
Are you on stock ROM? And which android version? Do you have deinterlacing enabled?
Note that deinterlacing only works with SW mode decoder.
The most recent app version uploaded to Play Store today has some fixes relating to .ts.

Unfortunately it didn't have much impact on the performance.
Another Question I have is if I activated deinterlacing wich modus does it use? If I play my files with vlc I need it to be Bob. Can I change this Settings somehow?
I also uploaded a Sample maybe u or even the Developer could check this out since I bought the Pro version and helped them out. Please play this file with windows media player even if you have vlc or any other player with the perfect codec set up it will somehow always be better with windows media player. And I hope ur eyes or brain can process the difference in frame rate because some people don't see it. On WMP it should look very fluid nearly as something shot with 60fps and on mx player it looks like I said not like that. In the past i thought it has something to do with the CPU/GPU and that my old S4 simply does not have enough horsepower (which was still weird because i knew even on old Windows machines the MPEG2 codec never made any issues) but then I got me a Note3 because it even supports 4K video playback but nope still same issue. So it must have something to do with the software.

MX Player plays the video well in SW mode in my S5 without any lag...!!

Are you running videos from network storage? And then it will be greatly dependent to network speed.
I tryed in on my Nexus 5 (which has inferior computing power to yours) for local and network playback.
But cannot reproduce your issue.

First of all thanks everyone for their feedback.
No I don't stream it, it's stored on my internal memory.
Can u guys activate deinterlancing and see if it plays back normal?
And what about the framerate? I know it playsback "fine" but can't u guys see a difference in the framerate? Please take a look at this 15 Sec. Clip and pay attention to the first seconds where the Camera moves from person to person and maybe watch it few times on ur PC so that ur eye/brain gets used to the framerate and then look at it on ur Android Device. I'm not making this up :crying: And here another example its the Refrain from the first clip there is even more fast movement and camera zooms. Also it's hard to see sometime but there is also a "comb" effect happening. But since the Display's have such high ppi it not easy to spot.
Please guys it can't be only me that notices this :crying::crying::crying:

First of all, MX Player does not drop frames in SW decoindg mode.
Instead, if video decoding is slow, video processing will be slowed down and a/v sync will be lost gradually.
Second,I tried hyoketsu-120316.ts on development mode and saw all logs coming out but cannot find any lags or frame drops on my Nexus 5.
Finally, I cannot understand why you think WMV plays videos like 60fps. It is just 30fps and I felt same non-smooth frame changes in first few seconds with WMV.
FYI, I used WMV 12 on Windows 7 64bits.
I am not sure but your monitor may have special deinterlacing feature. Some high end monitors put intermediate frames to make video playback smooth. For example, they make 30fps videos to 60fps or 120fps by creating intermediate frames in chipset level. Or your WMP may have some advanced deinterlacing filters intalled. Anyway I cannot find any difference with default WMV configuration and regular monitor. If this is the case, it will need more research.

I swear to God bleu8888 I'm not making this up WMP does Play those files looking like 60fps!!! And I finally found a really good Sample so please for the last time check it out and report :crying: you have to believe me.
I have a old MacBook on that I've installed Windows 7 (Build 7600) the WMP Version 12.0.7600.16385 the screen resolution is 1280x800 @ 60Hz
For example the newest VLC Version don't plays MPEG2 as smooth as WMP. The best result I get when I activate DeInterlancing and choose X for the mode but even then it's not exactly that smooth/fluid.
On my main system OSX I use a old version of VLC 1.1.9 newer versions struggle playing MPEG2 as well. And on there the DeInterlancing Mode is called Bob other modes can't play it smooth.
If I activate DeInterlancing on mxplayer which mode will it use? Can u edit the codec and change the mode?
I wish we could meet and I would show you what I mean. I really want this to work properly so bad u can't believe it.

I'm not sure if the Note 3 has hardware MPEG-2 (H.262) support; the fact that H/W doesn't work suggests that it does not.
If you transfer the video from a .ts container to mp4, does it make a difference? I would imagine not, but I'm interested to see what happens anyways.
Also, in mp4 the system stock media player will probably be able to play it. I'm curious if the system app can play it without lag.

Ok Chieco, you are right. WMP plays this sample video far better than VLC and MX.
Actually MX does not have enough deinterlacing supports. This will be improved in the future.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that Handbrake can put MPEG2 into mp4, since it uses ffmpeg to encode the MPEG2. Mind trying it out?
I'm not sure about this second point, but some of the newer Samsung roms have media players that support mkv. See if yours will do MPEG2 in mkv.

wait a minute... you mean re-encode my files not remux! HELL NO.... there is no way that I do that. Isn't it one of the best advantage of Android to be able just to copy whatever file format video u want and then install a great app like mxplayer and enjoy ur video? Thats the reason why I newer watched a single video on my iPhone. Besides my computer is so old that it takes ages to convert a video. And the video quality suffers from re-encoding. And especially on my MPEG2 files the "Magic" 60fps effect gets lost. I am using mxplayer for years now and I always blamed the slow processing power of my phone but i was fed up with this thats why I created this Thread and i can't be happier because bleu8888 recognized the problem and said he will fix this in the future! I surely don't know how long it will take but knowing he is doing something about it gives me patience.
Ah, right, I forgot that handbrake has no video passthru option; it's only got audio passthru. Oh well, in that case then yes, there is no simple way to get MPEG2 into an mp4 container.

MX Player just set the output resolution from the video resolution.
Based on the zoom settings you have used (Just long tap bottom left icon), Android automatically adjust the rendering size.
Can you collect a bug report from the MX Player help menu immediately after playing the video?
