Anyone know the correct setting for flawless playback for nexus 5 or do I need to wait for an update? BS Player is my favorite android video player.
I can hear audio but no video. Worked fine on my HTC One and needed a tweak when I updated that to 4.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello.
I have my new Nexus S for couple of days now, and today I wanted to try watch some HD ([email protected]) videos on it.
Ive tried several players(MX Video, Mobo,...), but playback is pretty bad. Its laggy, sound's laggy too and often goes off and I have to stop or pause the video and then continue to hear again.
TL;DR: playing HD content on my Nexus S is not watchable. Do I have to convert every HD video? I hope not, not like on my old ZEN player...
Thanks for reply
Look up dice player. Its a video player that has hd video playback and is hardware accelerated.

Download MX Video Player and use software decoding (fast mode) till he fixes it.

In MX Player, Go to preference---> and enable s/w decoder.....
Hope this will help you fix your problem....

Hey guys i just want to ask if any of you have tried playing 1080p or even 720p videos on the nexus s because im running on slimbean 3.0 marmite kernel and I used bs player to play HD videos but it will not be a smooth playback... does anyone have any idea on how to make the playback be smooth? Poor maybe this is hardware limitation?

Use MX player. 720 is fine.

Try MoboPlayer

If you haven't come across any solutions, I'd suggest Dice Player.
I've tried VLC player and it runs HD videos smoothly and amazingly. It's still in BETA but it's amazing. I'd give it a try, it's free so you won't be losing anything. It also plays any format and you can use it to listen to your music. Another cool feature is it allows you to stream videos on it.

I don't know if BS Player has the option but use MX Player and while your video is playing, choose SW Decoding, since HW decoding makes the video stutter

Try diceplayer, it renders 720p decoding perfectly

hi, can someone tell me what video/movie player with codecs specifically works on nexus5? i tried BSplayer and mobo player and i don't get video, its just black screen and audio works fine, just no video,
thanks
using latest moboplayer and bsplayer
should i try mxplayer?
Have you tired using the alternate HW encoding feature? I believe it's in the preferences somewhere. I think the app actually has a little warning sign to try this if you are having problems with BS. I use it on my N5 without problems but my current videos are MP4 formats. Have tried any others.

Try DICE Player or VLC. Both works great.

What app are you using? Mx with proper codec works fine for me. Software rendering or hardware?
Have you tried both?

Can't say I watch too much 1080 video on my phone (do most of my video watching on my Note 8 tablet), but MX Player is what I use too.
The HTC stock player has always been a joke. Its not compatible with a lot of formats/codecs, I've never really made any use of it aside from watching the videos I've taken with the phone's video camera. In general, I've never been much a user of stock players from any manufacturer. There is always going to be incomplete format support and/or performance lag. I'm guessing its due to licensing of various proprietary formats/codecs. Good 3rd party players are the way to go on Android.
Why the stock player lags now on Sense 5, when it didn't before, I can't say for certain. Lots has been updated in Sense 5, but HTC seems to break as many things as they fix sometimes. So this may be one of those cases. I haven't read about this issue before, so there is likely no easy fix.
