I have been using Dice video player for sometime, mostly because it has playback speed control.
But I notice that for some videos (mkv 1280x720), it cuts off the sides, especially top and bottom parts, as if zoomed in.
same video plays fine in MX player.
Anyone using dice player and notice this problem ?
Any suggestions to solve this ?
Another thing is when taking a screenshot with this player, i only get a black screen image.
what could be causing this ?
Thanks

Hi there --
I'm trying to help my wife with a really strange Windows Media Player problem.
She has four videos on her phone (T-Mobile MDA). One video is a WMV recorded using the camera, in mp4 format. The other three are MPEGs converted to WMVs using Windows Movie Maker in WinXP.
To a first order, all the videos play fine. However, if she plays the captured video, THEN tries to play one of the converted videos, she will get a blank screen. If you go to the "task manager", and kill WMP, you can play the converted videos again, until the next time you play the captured video.
The symptom is a completely blank screen. Sound plays fine, and the cursor moves across like the video is playing, but no video.
Has anyone else seen this symptom?
Thankx!
imho them wmp is not a really good player
i would try winamp if that also do it
you can narrow it down to
a codec issue
or a video card driver issue
This does sound like a codec issue. Personally I don't recommend using WMP on your phone or on your desktop.
Instead download the free TCPMP. It supports many formats and has a wide verity of options to control playback, performance and memory usage.
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download
codec?
I'm definitely going to have my wife try the other media player, thanks.
A codec may be involved, but there clearly has to be something else at foot: the problem arises across individual playing sessions. All the videos play, if you start from a fresh WMP. The faulty interaction only comes up if you play a video *from the phone* first. Totally weird.
So it sounds like no one else has seen this...
What do people use to play movie files?
I use moboplayer and the default video player. I like how the default clears the screen whereas moboplayer leaves the back/home/recent apps and menue button.
is there any way to remove these whilst playing video files?
Dice Player. It has played everything I've thrown at it.
I came across mx video player after reading another topic on xda and i love it. It plays just about anything i throw at it and uses H/W accelleration and has a screen swipe for fast forward and rewind and options on screen setup and layout. Best of all its free !

dice player is good. i cant say it plays *everything* i've thrown at it though. most 720p scene encodes i've tried seem to struggle.
Unfortunately, I there is no one player solution for HC yet. Dice player and MX Player are among the good ones but neither play "everything".

I've been looking for the same thing. I want the menu bar to clear. Dice player does it, but I've had better file playback with moboplayer. Dice player's UI isn't as nice as others but they do update frequently. I'm staying with mobo for now, maybe if some people bug them about clearing the screen on tablets, they will add it.
to save your battery, use diceplayer.
SW decoder based player like mobo/mx/vplayer need more battery than diceplayer.
SW video decoder need more CPU power & battery.
have a Question, have Tried standard Android player, MX player, Rock Player and Dice player. there is never no sound with my 720P MKV's (even though there should be) and i have a 720P MP4 that is Jerky as F***.
Also, with MX player and Diceplayer, whenever using HW rendering the video is fine but has no Sound, When SW Rendering is used its jerky With sound.. Lame !

Could you post your MP4 file's MediaInfo?
(Container / Codec info )
Daroon player... plays DVD's with Menu!
+1 DicePlayer
Plays most things I throw at it (more than the others I've tried)
Handles mutli-audio & multi-subtitles (even ass/aas MKV ones)
Streaming from ES File Explorer.
Damn good dev feedback
Happy.
I'm pretty sure mono has hardware decoding. It gets choppy for me when I use its software decoding.

Buzz player, V player, QQ Player.
With those 3 have played everything.
Dice player plays most files using hardware acceleration.
Worth every penny !!

Diceplayer can play any combinations of audio codec(aac/dts/ac3/flac) and containers(avi,mkv,mp4,mov....) with HW video acceleration.
But other players(QQ,Mobo,vPlayer....) can play supported format/audio codec by system with HW acceleration.
All of non supported combinations ( like a DTS+MKV, MOV,... ) are played by SW codec.

You could use Hide Bar for this.

I used that until revolver incorporated a similar feature.

New MX Video Player 1.3 is really nice. The UI has been redone quite a bit. The task bar now goes into the dim mode during playback (I think that's new). Playback is great for XViD... haven't tried any x264+AC3/DTS, but it should be pretty good since it is able to HW decode the video and SW decode the audio.
Hey guys,
Trying to setup my GFs phone with some media to watch while at the gym, and I can get everything on there fine and use different players to watch it, but I noticed no matter the player there's a significant frame drop/stuttering in the playback, especially when compared to my S2.
Anybody else notice any choppiness when playing back media? Only tested with divx TV shows downloaded from the web (playback from phones camera seems to be fine.)
Thoughts?
Hrmmm. Not sure. I use MX video player for playback and have been happy. This is mostly for flash video and camcorder on phone, but I haven't tried any divx. For the most part everything is fairly smooth.

I use handbrake to knock mine down to the proper size and have zero issues, I also use mine on the treadmill. Beats the heck out of the TV. I use realplayer
I use mx video player too. It works great but sometimes the video freezes and you have to hit back and select the video again. But that's only on software decoding.
If you convert the video to MPEG you can use h/w decoding which fixes that and seems to make the battery last longer.

MoboPlayer works great for me.
Mx player is great,set to sw fast decode and it run very smooth. It support subtitle,interface is nice and easy to use.

Hi, all. I own xperia Neo V, recently rooted. I use MX player for video playback. There seems to be a lag at random intervals during video playback, especially playing mkv files. During the lag, audio continues to play while video displays as a still picture and then delayed video gets played back at a very fast pace. Then video playback continues fine and then lags with similar issue at another random interval. The lag happens for 5-8 seconds . I would like to know if any workaround for this problem? Does anyone face similar issue?

Hi! What is the resolution of the video? Because the Neo and Neo V screen resolution is only 720p and it won"t play full hd videos, but 720p videos is working well. I have Xperia Neo and it's not playing the full hd vids with any player! The sound goes as it should, bat the screen freezes. Reduce the video size and it will work...
The resolution is 576*432
I tried BSplayer, QQplayer too. all lag at random intervals
I use Moboplayer (the one with a "green triangle on a grey circle" icon), and it plays everything, except full hd vids. The max reslution is 1280x720, but even Quickpic plays too. So i dunno what the problem is... What rom are you using and kernel? Maybe you run out of free memory during playback... Have you download the codec for MX player? When I first install it, it's need the MX Player Kodek (ARMv7 NEON)...
But now I probe one video (1280x720) and Quickpic plays it, I'm able to scrolling too...
I tried Mobo before. One thing that I love about MX is that it's HW acceleration feature is excellent which boost your volume twice, and all other players including Mobo can't match this boost. That's the only reason stopping me to use other apps. Anyways, thanks for hinting Moboplayer, will try it out again. Regarding Quikcpic, I use it only to view my pictures, new used it to play any video.
Hi,
I love this app , reacently using MX player streams in apps like movie HD , showbox , cinema box, mega box etc but i noticed when i pause or screen off while waching live movie stream , Buffering stopped automatically but when i play then buffering starts i need this player to never stop buffer so that the movie play smooth just like in youtube app when you play or stop it always buffering so that we could easily watch movie without stop . Kindly reply if this matter solve
Bump
I have the same issue. Statement above, is clear. When streaming, if you press pause, MX PLAYER will try to Load; Stop; and End Playback.
Version 1.9.10(ARMv7 neon)
Running on Firestick (version 2, 4 gigs available)
mx player, Standard config.
Mp4 file ~500MB 720p max.(can be smaller or much larger makes no difference)
having trouble making a bug report because it is on a Firestick, however I did not always have this problem. Any help to point me and others in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, please.
