Full HW video decoder : BSPlayer is THE player!

Hi,
BSPlayer realease his software for Android.
Pro :
Real HW decoder for most formats (even 1080 files)
Gallery - like browing, including panorama
Video playlist
Timer to shutdown the player...
Cons
Doenst support Dock media's key (play/pause)
For seeking, you must use the slider, if not, it revert to begining
PS : I have mobo player and mx player, even files thoses to last cant play, BSplayer play them smooooooothly
You have to download also the ARMv7 plugin
Have a try, it's free (ads)

Posted aggain? Oh, well.

Still... Nothing can play 1080p :'( !!
Really disappointed !! Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note both can play 1080p but transformer doesn't...

It's supporting Videplayback over SMB. Sry Diceplacer but this is a must have for me.

I disagree. All of my movies are ripped straight from Blu-ray and are 1080p and play via MX player or Dice Player.

The best video player is stock. The smoothness cannot be beat by any 3rd party video player. I've tried MX and Dice and they are only as good or worse than the stock player. The only reason to use a 3rd party video app is if you want the extra UI features or if you are unwilling to transcode/remux MKV to MP4.
Anyone who tells you that DicePlayer/MX Video/BS Player can play any 720p MKV they throw at it is probably watching some pirated movie with crappy warez scene encode settings. I have quite a few 720p MKV/MP4 movies that are unwatchable using the stock player because they stutter so much. The revered DicePlayer is even worse than stock with these movies, and so is MX and BS.
Don't get your hopes up.

I am tired of hearing people imply that MX Video Player or DicePlayer are responsible for successful playback of their movies. If your files are MP4 (which can easily be converted from MKV using VidsOpt), they will play as good and usually better with the STOCK PLAYER.
Also, what encode settings did you use and what is the average bitrate of the movie? I doubt the encode is transparent. It'd be interesting to see a source>encode screenshot comparison.

it doesnt even start to play .mkv so its worthless. Sure would be nice to have a great mkv player.

Despite what your tired of hearing MX Player plays videos better than the stock player IMO but that's just me. That's what's nice about visiting the market is that you can find apps that are better and better than the last including stock for all facets of the tablet. Just like IMO ADWLauncher EX is better than the stock launcher. It's just the order of things and how they work. If you prefer stock player over all others than by all means. Everybody has what's good for them and you go with it.

I don't understand. First you say that the stock video player is the best;

You make no sense here.
The stock video player has terrible codec support. For a high-powered device like the TF101, I shouldn't have to transcode my files to a very specific format just to get the stock player to play them.
Personally, I use VLC. A pre-alpha version was released a couple of months back, and it's great. It plays every video file I've thrown at it and doesn't stutter at all.

Can you link the apk for the VLC you're using? I found a "noneon" build of it on this site, and the playback is absolutely horrendous. It is far, far worse than the stock player. Is this the same compile you are using? These are the specs of the video I used:

really? That's the same build I'm using and I'm finding it perfectly fine. Weird.

Thanks for the heads up on BS player. Indeed it is playing most of the 720p content off my server without issues, I say just above Dice Player and what makes it better than Dice is it is FREE. The interface is fugly like some highschool kid with crayons but who cares as long as the decoding engine works. For some reason MX player never plays anything off my network but plays local content good, strange.
Got rid of Dice, will probably delete Mobo player and rock as well, too many players . . . .

Don't sweat it, he's just trolling because it's better than what he's getting and he uses the stock player which is sub-par to MX or Dice players. So far I've seen what his settings are and mine are better so he feels he has to troll. Go home troll.

Your encode settings suck, that's why you aren't experiencing the issues that I am. I care about transparency, and you, for whatever reason, obviously do not. You could really tell you knew what you were doing when you called your 1080x800 encode 1080p. 1080p is at least 1920x800...you are missing several hundred lines of resolution. Please, post some source vs encode screenshots. You can do this with VLC Media Player by pressing Ctrl-Alt-S.

Evidently you don't have your game on when it comes to getting your settings correct since you seem to be having issues and I don't. You're trying to make your TF perform beyond it's specifications. As I said before those were my old settings and as I now use DVD Catalyst with higher bitrates that I have even higher quality videos as I did before. If you would stop hating for a moment and actually read the posts that people place maybe you would learn something.
Sometimes the best thing to do is go back to what works and make your way from there. HERE is a post that has a guide that should get you to making decent videos for the TF.
Good luck.

I know that I am pushing the limits of the TF, but this is so I can achieve transparency of my encode to the source. We are approaching this from two different directions. I am more concerned about transparency and you are more concerned about being within the TF's playback specs while sacrificing quality. If you would look at a source vs encode screenshot comparison you would see this. My point still stands that the stock player is better than MX/Dice/BS for transparent videos that push the TF's limits with high quality encode settings.

If you transcode, then you're already sacrificing quality. We're dealing with lossy formats here.
If you also have to hard-mux the subs, then loss of quality is just staggering.
More on topic, BSplayer introduced their own hardware decoding engine in newest release and it's now on par with DICE player (and noticeably ahead of stock player hardware decode and all other crap players that use it (MX, etc.). It also have better subtitle compatibility.
Sadly, seeking implementation is very bad (to put it kindly) and it still lacks subtitle correction due to framedrops, so that occasional framedrops will cause your subs drift out of sync.

hey, im trying bsplayer with some 720p files and works great. the only problem is that when doing hdmi tv out the subtitles show in the tablet but not in the tv. anyone having same issue?

i think it has something to do with overlay and last ota updates... dice player is doing the same. didnt have this problem before.

It happens when you use hardware decoding, if you turn it to software the subtitles show up but the video plays slow .. PM me if you find a solution please !

people should stop doing this. the stock player is fine when playing supported format. but what other ppl want is a player that play mkv files smoothly. till now, only dice player does it well, and I say this because tested it myself.

Newest BSPlayer is as good as DICE (builds from nov2011 and above). Test it out.

forget about that guy move your file in your PC and connect phone with Kie

PS. I try it like u before with any format ^^

Use mx viedo player from market
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium

it plays 1080p videos but with too many lags.........but as far as i know nvidia tegra 2 can play 1080p videos , like lg optimus 2x..................

I do own a EEE pad transformer also powerd with the tegra 2 chip.
Search in the market for MX video player. It's free and, with soft decoding, it plays well.
If MX video player doesnt wrok (good) then try moboplayer.

Well, I heard that "best" solution for playing HD movies on Tegra-2 is Dice player. Because, they are trying to use GPU power of chipset to decode video stream in replace of missing 128-bit commands NEON module.
Anyway, HD video with profiles different from base (main) 3.1 will have lags or skip scenes, even freeze. The only way to play such files - convert them to much lower bitrate and play with MX player, for example, in fast software mode.

[Resolved] Low sampling rate compatibility issue on Android 4.4.2

I have a number of old Canon camera MJpeg movies. MX Player plays them flawlessly on my Defy (cm7 android 2.3.7) and on Sony lt22i (stock android 4.1.2) but on my HTC One (M7 stock android 4.4.2) they have no sound and the sound track cannot be selected. The sound tracks are recorded in 11024hz 8-bit PCM. I tried software decoding but it didn't work either.
I have a MJpeg movie sample file here.

Edit:
I have checked your file. I can reproduce the issue. In HW mode It can play audio. But, not getting any video since it's not nativity supported. But, In SW mode video playback is smooth. But, unable to select the audio track. That's why audio is not played. Otherwise ffmpeg can play the same. I have checked with the other ffmpeg based players & it's working fine.

You must have mistaken it with another movie file. My sample file is a mjpeg movie with pcm 8-bit 11024hz audio. Yes the sampling rate is the strange 11024.
If I convert its audio part to aac 11025hz, it plays well.

It seems that the issue appears only with kitkat. I have tried in my ACE with 2.3.6. There is no problem at all. But, It appears in S5 with 4.4.2. Something is broken.
I have attached the logcat collected using adb.
@bleu8888
Can you look at this issue

Hi,
This may be fixed on latest beta version.
I just setup Google play beta testing feature.
Please visit following link to become a beta tester and try beta version.

Actually I abandoned using Google play beta app with MX Player 1.x, instead uploaded apk directly.
This feature will be used from MX 2.0 beta testing because of caveats found while testing beta app feature.

[Bug Report] Corrupted video every 5 seconds

I'm using Youtube-dlG (GUI) to download childrens programmes from the National Danish Broadcasting Company. They're h264, AAC files.
The videos play in MX Player, but every five seconds or so there is gfx corruption. The same videos play fine in eg. VLC.
I can't post links but if you google "skaeg med matematik 7" the first link is to one of the videos that has this problem when downloaded locally to my Nexus 7 (2012) running stock Android 5.0.2.
It would be great to have MX Player play these videos, so we don't need to switch players for them. Thanks.

If you go to advanced posting and uncheck "Automatically parse links in text", then you can post links.
Could you post the mediainfo of one of the downloaded videos?

Thanks for the tip.
When downloading the vids it's obvious that they are divided into a lot of chunks - wouldn't surprise me if that's part of the problem. I should probably mention that it's not all videos downloaded from this particular corporation that displays the problem. Other vids are fine.
Here is the mediainfo output:

Apparently those are MP4 DASH files. Until the developer clarifies the issue, you can try remuxing to non-DASH via "ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -c: copy target.mp4" or mp4box

Great suggestion @wOxxOm ! @bleu8888 is this an issue with ffmpeg support?

I've tried all three decoders HW, HW+, SW but all decoders worked fine without any graphics corruption.
I would be able to test further if you send me your downloaded file or exact YouTube download URL.
Kindly send me a PM if you don't want to post URL or file.
BTW, does this issue exists with all three decoders -- HW, HW+, SW?
Thanks

The remuxing using FFMPEG works perfectly. Thank for the tip.
bleu888: I tried all modes, and the gfx corruption happens with H/W+. H/W doesn't play at all. S/W works perfectly.
Please note this is not a file from youtube, but from dr.dk, which is a Danish tv station. I'll send you a PM in a moment with a link for the exact file.

I have a 2012 Nexus 7 running 5.0.2 (LRX22G) that I flashed myself directly from a factory image using Google's recommended procedure, so it's a clean install. I'm at work now, but I'll try to clear the cache and reinstall MX Player tonight to see if that does anything. Also, the gfx coruption happens on my kid's profile which is a non-administrator profile. I'll try the file on the admin profile and see if that changes anything. I admit to not investigating the problem further before reporting it.

Nope, no matter what I do, I can't get H/W+ mode to play the file without the gfx hiccups. If you need me to post a video of how it looks, just let me know.
