It seems that I can't watch 1080p videos on my N5 because of an horrible stutter.
I tried remuxing the videos, and it seems that play is smooth only removing audio.
Any hint, please?
I've been using bsplayer with 1080p videos fine. Other players I tried had the stutter problem.

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.

The title says it all, I saw on Motorola Developer site that it's able, but when I try running one, it doesn't work! Is it a bug, or only me?

You're gonna have to be a little more specific when you say 1080p playback...
Download tube mate, download a 1080p video, try running on your device

The point is 1080p is very vague. What video format, container, etc?
Historically, the xoom has always had issues playing high profile h264 content. The container doesn't really matter. Using known software decoders provides low framerate playback at best. Its likely we'll have to wait for next gen hardware to get some decent high profile playback.
I'm I the only one that's noticed how much sharper text gets in the overall tablet ui when watching videos on the default video player?

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

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.
