Hot to view MTS files (1080/50p) on TF??

Hello everyone. I would like to see the footage shot by my camera (Panasonic TM700) directly on the TF in order to get a larger preview of that offered by the display of the camera. The problem is that I have not found any player that would display the correct file type MTS shot in 1080/50p. I think this isn't a problem of processor (I have a media player with a sigma 800mhz and movies run fine), but a problem of proper codec ....... Do I have some hope that there is a codec for the development of this TF?

Maybe you could contact the developers of those video applications? Does ffmpeg read those files (does mplayer?) - if so, it should be easily doable. Does VLC read those files? There is supposed to be a version of VLC for Android one day but no one know when. Also keep in mind that decoding on your media player could be hardware accelerated and idependend of the processor while TF has to use software decoding.

MTS is part of the AVCHD video format.
I'm not sure if moboplayer will play this, and even if it does,
i doubt it will be without stuttering like crazy, but thats pretty much dependant
on the bitrate of your MTS files.
you could try to remux the audio and video streams from the MTS to an MP4 container or an mkv even.
Google for MTS2MP4 which might be of help.
Try XenonMKV or GOTSent for any mkv remuxing.
Or reencode the whole thing alltogether (which you are likely trying to avoid)
goodluck

Android 3.0+ supports mpeg transport streams with AAC audio only...
The native media player object of Android (hardware accelerated) does _not_ even play fluidly TS files. So you're out of luck for out-of-the-box playback.

I use Handbrake to reencode to MP4 container with AAC audio. Works fine on my TF, but a lot has to be lost in terms of quality to make it playable. Search the forums for the Handbrake 3.1 guide.

any news about an app that can play MTS files?

From what I understand, with the Tegra2 will playback H.264 High Profile in hardware and offloads it to the processor, which as you've noticed can't decode it quickly enough. The I know the Tegra2 will playback H.264 Base 3.0 profile (iPod). I also think it will playback H.264 Main.
The Tegra3 (Kal-El) is the first SoC chip to be able to playback High Profile in hardware.

Dice player.... do better job. In addition, i overclock to 1.4, then to mkv fikes 720p play smoothly...but you have to root your tf or install custom rom plus custom kernel

owh..i have to root my tf eh?thanks dude..

try to use mx video player and download the mx video codec.
you can also add subtitle to your movies....
it's work on my tf...

I have a bunch of movies in MP4 (h264) and AVI (dixv) format that work on my transformer. I use MX Video Player to play them because that software is by far the best video playing software i have seen on any tablet.
Sent from my MoPho using xda premium

I also will put in my 2c about the MX Video Player. Well worth the five and change. It plays MKV ripped right to the disc but, sometimes is a little
choppy.

I've been using a pre pre pre Alpha build of VLC Media Player on my Eee Pad and HTC Desire for a while now and haven't had any trouble playing almost any file (mostly .avi ripps of DVD's).
If you want to try it download the VLC-noneon.apk (double check your device /proc/cpuinfo) from the developer here:
http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-09-18/videolan_for_android_pre-alpha

MX Video Player and MoboPlayer plays 720p with few (there still is) hiccups on my stock TF. I find Dice to be more laggy.

I'm not sure if it was the latest revolution ROM, or the latest MX Player, but now I can play WTV files streamed from my WMC without issue. Very happy. ([email protected]).
The 1080i is ok (deinterlacer needs work), but the 720p stuff looks awesome! Tried 1.4Ghz, did not help.
I still think Dice is the best for MP4/AVC/AAC, but MX Player does a decent job.

[Q] mxplayer unable to play HEVC 4K or HD with HW Decode on S805 SOC

I own Samsung Note 4 with Snapdragon 805 Soc that supports HEVC or H.265 video with hardware decode upto 4K resolution I. Each 3840X2160
but if we are trying to play a HEVC HD video with HW mode it can only play Audio not video. With SW mode it can play HEVC HD video but when playing HEVC 4K video it's not able to play on HW mode but when playing on SW mode the video is playing with extreme lag.
Kindly fix it as Snapdragon 805 SOC is capable to play HEVC upto 4K without any issues.
Kindly Assist.

If it's supported natively it can be played with stock player.
Have you tried in stock player?
If it can be played by Stock Player, it suppose to be played in HW decoder of mx player.
If stock player can play, kindly collect the log after playing in HW decoder & attach here.
Regarding SW decoder, Your CPU is powerful enough to play HEVC HD video. But, it will obviously lag since it needs enormous CPU power to decode HEVC 4K videos.

HEVC HD and 4K on S805 SOC HW Decode Not Working on Note 4
Hello ktsamy,
No the stock player present in Note 4 LTE model is not able to play either HEVC / H.265 files natively in stock player only audio that can be played from those videos. Only HEVC HD contents AUDIO can be played in stock player (no video) and HEVC HD content can only be played on SW mode in MXPlayer almost 95% lag free and HEVC 4K is playing in SW mode only but it lags every Milli second.
Gionee S 5.5 is able to play HEVC HD on HW mode is mxplayer but Snapdragon 805 SOC is not, its such a shame. But I don;t think its a CPU fault as per my understanding. It is related to Samsung Media SDK they used and it looks MX player can also be altered with the MX team so that they can leverage the real potential of Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SOC 2.7 Ghz Quad Core .
You can see below lines :
"4K playback with H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) formats
4K capture with H.264 (AVC) format
Hollywood Quality Video™ technology (in HW) for post-processing DASH supported"
Check the above mentioned lines:

From your mobile. You need a root explorer. Best way is Es File Explorer. Install es file explorer, open it, tap on sdcard. Now click on device then system then etc and you will have it. You can even pull from pc using adb command with sdk installed.

If you look at the media_codecs.xml, all HEVC related entries are marked as comments ( Will starts with <!-- and ends with --> )
so, Samsung has disabled HEVC decoders (May be a licensing issue).
That's why MX Player (even Stock Player) can't decode natively. So, You have to use S/W decoder in order to play HEVC and Playback may not be smooth at higher resolutions since it needs extreme power to decode.

HEVC and S805 SOC and Note 4 HW mode
Hello Ktsamy and All Respected Members,
Can you please suggest is there any way we can enable teh HEVC entries to provide hardware decode of HEVC files HD and 4K both without rooting of the device and without warranty void.
I have also escalated the issue to Samsung India Support Team. They have asked me to send everything via email and with details.and bill copy of Note 4.
If its a feature of CPU it should be enabled by Samsung in Note 4.
Please also confirm if S805 SOC is capable of decoding HEVC 4K with HW mode ?
I also own Ginonee Elife s 5.5. mobile and it can play HD HEVC file with HW mode in mxplayer but not in HW+ mode and also it is not abale to play HEVC 4K video file.
Please revert.

There is no way to enable it until or unless Samsung includes the decoders.
According to the Specification Snapdragon 805 SoC supports HEVC 4K decoding.
But, I think even if chipset has the support, Samsung must obtain license to include the decoders.
That could be the possible reason.
Regarding the Gionee s5.5 HW+ issue,
can you play the video in HW+ when it fails, it will automatically switch over to S/W.
Now close the video & Goto Help >> Bug Report.
Save the logs in your device & upload here.
It may be helpful to diagnose the issue.

mx player plays hevc files
Anyone wants to plays hevc video file on mx player . First rename the video files (there will be two video files the other one will be like '0') with an .mkv or .avi format whichever the file belongs to in your file manager then the mx player will be able to play hevc videos.

It depends upon device. If your device doesn't support natively, then SW decoder is the only option. SW will be laggy if your cpu is not powerful enough.
Kindly share a bug report whenever report a issue. It's required to identify the exact issue.

Hardware HEVC decoding support on Asus Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL)

(Yes, I know i already asked about this in the Asus Zenfone 3 subforum.)
The title says it all. Basically MX Player plays HEVC encoded videos on this phone using software decoding, even though this device has hardware decoding support for that codec. Can anyone explain it to me why?
I will attach a bug report as soon as I figure out how add attachments.

Hi,
It depends. Not all HEVC files are same. For example your device may only support HEVC main profile upto 1080P @ 30fps.
In such cases, you can't play any HEVC 4K file or an HEVC file encoded with the Main10 profile or a video HEVC video with 60fps (in HW+, it may lag).
If you can't upload the logs here, you can share the link after uploading to anywhere else (like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.,).
If you have issues with links as well, then just mask it ( Like replace http with h**p)

Thanks for the reply!

There is no log about the playback. Maybe some other app is generating too many logs.
Kindly Increase the log buffer size on developer options on your system & collect the log again immediately after attempting to play in HW & HW+.

Never mind, I've figured it out. The problem was that the videos I tried to play were encoded at level 4, while my phone only supports hardware decoding up to level 3.1.
Again, thanks for your help.
