I'm trying to figure out the best media player or TF700 settings for output of video from the TF700 on my TV. Right now I'm using MX player but it doesn't seem to support output of multi-channel sound. Can someone recommend a good player (including if a particular codec is required) to improve the output capability of the TF700? Preferably something that supports both Dolby Digital and DTS. Also, has anyone found a player that allows changing the output resolution? Jelly Bean no longer allows you to scale. I'd love to change the output from 1920 x 1200 to 1080p or 720p. Thanks.

Hi!
I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what to set a video encoding program to for best use on the s3. Many programs have default profiles for the iphone, ipod, etc. My old Droid X had some suggested parameters, and wondered what others are using.
From what I've gathered, these look good. Can somebody comment and suggest if I'm on the right path or off the wall?
Video
Codec- H.264
Resolution- 1280×720 (HD)
Bitrate- 1500/2000kbps
Framerate- 25fps
Audio
Codec- AAC
Sampling rate- 44.1khz
Bitrate- 128kbps
Channel- stereo
Thanks!
For the TF700, can someone please recommend a media player that allows output of multichannel audio (i.e. 5.1) over the HDMI connection? I would like to play movies through a Samsung Home Theater System and MX Player is only outputting Stereo (I think) no matter what the audio format is. A separate codec would work as an option too. Any help or fix would be appreciated. Thanks.
So I've got a bit of an odd setup going on and I'm wondering if this is possible somehow. The screen (just the glass) of my Tab is broken, but the device still works as a whole so I decided to set it up as my main media device to replace my Logitech Revue. I've got all the hookups I need, but I'd like to get 1080p output to my big-screen as 720p just doesn't look very good. I've seen in the past where you can manually adjust PPI (pixels per inch), but I don't know that that would actually achieve the 1080p output I'm looking for.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
FYI, I am Rooted, running stock ICS right now. Not afraid to get messy.
Thanks in advance!

For example, you can use Allshare to wirelessly stream content from your Tab to your TV

So,...perhaps.
Now I think about it, the resolution displayed on the TV depends on the video stream sent to it, not necessarily the resolution of the tablet itself.
I have been able to get 1080i out of mine via the HDMI adapter, but have not gotten 1080p. I questioned Samsung about this and their reply was that it may be due to the HDMI cables that I was using. I have tried a few various cables but still the highest I have gotten is 1080i. It does look fine at this setting though.
How were you able to achieve this?

I've been trying to find out what the DAC is in the Shield Tablet and if it will support high resolution audio but there is nothing on Nvidia's site and any audio related search just goes on about the speakers.
I'm going to load up some 192KHz/24bit FLAC files and see how it goes. Looks like it supports most formats but there is no mention anywhere of high resolution audio support. I hope if does not down sample.
Anyone have any experience?

In same position, not much info to find about the DAC. My main usage plan is as car dashboard tablet, so i don't want to go all audiophile and guess i have to see how it will play out. Else i will probably just end up investing in a proper HDMI de-embedder.
It would however be nice to know just a little about the DAC.
It won't support high-res audio because Android doesn't, it'll resample everything to 48Khz, regardless of the capability of the DAC. The only exceptions are devices where the manufacturer has added support for it, from memory only LG and Samsung to date. If you want HD audio get a USB DAC and use USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP). I use my Dragonfly 1.2 with my Note 4 and Shield Tablet, it'll do high-res via UAPP (or Hiby or Onkyo music players, I prefer UAPP). Personally I have no need for HD audio, but the external DAC and amp runs rings around the audio quality and amplifier grunt in tablets and phones.
I know it is a bit overkill for a tablet, but considering X1's performance (same gpu,just more cores), it would be nice to know if the K1 can passthrough Hd audio via it's hdmi port.
Anyone tried ?
HI there! I'm very sorry but I wasn't active in this forum at XDA before now. I've been experimenting with this topic for some time now.
YES, The Shield tablets (regardless of versions) can passthrough bit-perfect sound, both stereo or 5.1 (and higher, depending on your stereo equipment).
So here's the deal:
1. You'll need an HDMI audio extractor. I recommend Monoprice's HDMI audio extractors, although there are slightly less expensive models out there, you can't really trust their specs.
2. A standard HDMI audio extractor can passthrough both digital (coaxial or TOSLINK S/PDIF) or digital-to-analog out. For surround sound you'll want an HDMI audio extractor with surround sound outputs.
Essentially it comes down to the media player you'll be using.
I've tested MX Player (with the custom codec loaded), VLC Player for Android, and Kodi. All can do passthrough IF you're using an HDMI extractor that will be identified as such (stereo-only or surround-sound capable) via HDMI. This critical.
Older versions of Kodi they called the "****ty" builds used LPCM bit-hacking to force a passthrough via HDMI. Newer releases require that a HDMI device handshake occurs so the media player will allow an appropriate passthrough to occur.
Unless you will be playing .MP4 files w/ 5.1 surround sound, I recommend MX Player for most music and video files. Passthrough works well on it when set up correctly. VLC is ok too, but the interface leaves something to be desired in my opinion.
Kodi can decode/passthrough 5.1 and higher via HDMI from .MP4 and other files although the user interface is less simplistic.
