Hi guys,
I´ve been using MX Player (which I really like) but it doesn´t play DTS. Is there any free apps that support DTS? I´ve read somewhere that there was some legal issues regarding DTS support and android.
diceplayer can play it
you can add the DTS codec to MX Player yourself.
just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34649108#post34649108
MX Player is the best
I would have to root my phone, right?

Whats the best app for video? This is my first android so i don't know what is "best." i need it to play MKV, Mp4, AVI, etc.... all @ HD.
MX Video Player
Thanks i will try it.
MX works very good on Fire.
Just watched Modern Family mkv in HD (720p), hardware accelerated, without lags and nothing.
PS. The only problem was the audio channel that didn't work in HW mode. Just changed that to SW decoding and everything was fine.

Yep, MX Video Player is the best video player for the Kindle Fire.

It's working on my mkv files very well. I also had to switch audio to software decode.

what about vplayer?
I have always trusted in VLC Player, however, technically its still in closed beta for Android, and not available for direct download via the Market.
With the OP being new to Android, I guess I might be expecting a little too much to say, Google for it (VLC-neon.apk), and sideload it?! But I'm putting it out there anyway!

How do you get it to work where you the gray pullup bar on the bottom doesn't interfere with the onscreen controls? Also, do you know if it can stream from Dropbox/Sugarsync? I haved some vids on SS that I stream on Moboplayer, but can't get them to stream on MX.
I have some m2ts video format and player by default does not read them.
I tried to convert them but the result is bad.
What is a good player for our TAB?
With what program and what format I could convert them to make the most with the TF700?
thanks

No need to convert. Try BS Player or MX Player.
With MXplayer the video you can see in slow motion as BS player crashes while updating the preview
i found that BS Player works best for me with better HW and SW acceleration
and bette suport for large .mkv files over local network
were as MX Player would lag and have trouble playing DTS and Dolby 5.1 sound
Which version of BSplayer uses for the TF700?

BS Player (Paid Version) is the best one I have used and Dice Player is 2nd.

You may need to download some other files from within bs player for the processor to have it play properly. Can't remember for sure it's been a while since I used that player.

As per the Google Play info, only when it tells you to:
BS player:
This is BSPlayer lite CPU support package for <several listed on Google Play> CPU smartphones - not the main app.
You only need this if BSPlayer warns you to install it, also you must have BSPlayer lite installed first.
Main application can be found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free

MX PLayer:
** IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is a software component for MX Player, you should install MX Player first. MX Player will test your device and show you the best matching codec automatically if it is necessary. You do not need to install codecs unless MX Player asks.

i'm having problems with a MP4 file, can you guys check whether it plays for you? regardless of the player i've tried (dice, mx, bsplayer), i only get a black picture with sound:
http://red.cachefly.net/TimeScapes4K2560p.mp4
(from http://timescapes.org/trailers/[email protected] - the "lower" resolution files work but have micro stutters which i didn't have in ICS either..)
it worked fine with .30 ICS firmware and now it doesn't show a picture anymore in jellybean..

hm ok, then it seems that JB is missing some codecs that were available in ICS
I have a 3.25gb 1080p mkv and I have problem playing using mx player pro.
I have tried to switch to different mode - HW, HW+ or SW, video is fine but I got no sound at all.
If I use a different player like BS Player it works perfectly.

Can you post the mediainfo of the file?
If it has dts audio track then you have to use custom codec.
thanks, it's dts.
I have downloaded the custom codec and now it's fine.
However, may I ask why this codec didn't include in mx player in the first place?
Also the one from the google play doesn't work. I had to use this:

The detailed answer is in the first post of the custom codec thread...!!!
In short DTS people is not ready to negotiate with SW players. So, to avoid copyright issues it's dropped from the official version.
It doesn't support AC3 audio format
You have to use Custom Codec!
use custom codec.
Where would I find the custom codec for AC3? I already have the recommended MX Player Codec installed (ARMv7 NEON).

Thanks, but that download is several versions behind the one on Google Play Store. Will its codecs replace the newer ones, or simply add to them where they are missing? I'd hate for the videos that currently work properly to cease working (as mentioned in one of the replies).
Just follow the leader, you wont be versions behind, it works perfectly.
There you can find how to add it.
Nobody here is having problems with it.

Thank you, you're right, it's working perfectly.
mpeg2video has broken in last version of MX Player Pro 1.9.5. It reports "This video format (mpeg2video) is not supported".
MX Player Pro 1.9.5 ARMv7 Neon was installed from Google Play.
Hello,
My MX Player Pro was updated to 1.9.5 from Play Store.
Since the update, I cannot play any MPEG2 videos.
Before the update all .mpg, .ts and .REC video files worked fine.
Now I get "This video format (mpeg2video) is not supported."
(well, mine is in finnish but it translates to that)
Is this a bug or planned issue?
My player is ARMv7 NEON on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 & Samsung Galaxy S7
Have you tried using the custom codec from the codecs thread?

No, not yet.
Actually, for years I have just been using MX Player without any problems and without knowing about any custom codecs.
All my files has been standard mpeg2, mpeg4 or h264 stuff so nothing custom about them at all.
All these including mpeg2 have been working fine for years now.
So maybe I will need to look in to those.
mpeg2video not supported
After upgrading MX Player to 1.9.6 at Samsung S5Neo the .ts files recorded at Synology from DVB-T cannot be played. It says "mpeg2video not supported". Same applies to the DVB-T live stream.
Use custom codec.
You also started a duplicate thread.

So is this really the way things work with MX Player Pro from now on?
I must use custom codec to watch mpeg2 decoded videos and for every new update of MX Player I will need to get new custom codec?
I updated the MX Player Pro yesterday to 1.9.8 (I think it was 1.9.5) and now the custom codec (1.9.0) that I have won’t work with it.

Goodbye MX Player
I won't be using this app anymore. I need mpeg2. Period.
No reason to have this app without it.
No time to root my android tablet or play little games with codecs.
It used to to a good job, now it is just a vegetable.
Goodbye

Read two posts above yours. Custom codec pack adds that functionality and more.

Even with the custom codec I am still having compatibility issues that I never had before this change with MPEG2 files - audio pauses and subsequent desync, anybody else showing similar?
Just playing DVB-T recordings.
