[STICKY] MX Player 10-bit Video and HEVC Discussion

MX Player 10-bit Video and HEVC Discussion
Back on our old Google Groups forum, we had a long thread of users sharing and discussing their experiences with 10-bit video playback, HEVC playback, device capabilities, and other interesting related topics.
This thread will be a continuation of that discussion. The original thread can be found here:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mx-videoplayer/CVvvmsXpdz8/discussion
If you have anything you want to share relating to 10-bit playback, hardware support, and MX Player, please join the discussion!
How can I check what hardware codecs are enabled on my phone's GPU?
You can use an App such as Hardware Info: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dama.hardwareinfo
My device is playing Hi10p really poorly, even though it's a very new/powerful phone! What can I do?
CDB-Man said:
1) h.264 AVC Hi10p can only be played on HW+ for Tegra devices. No exceptions. All non-Tegra devices must use SW for h.264 AVC Hi10p.
2) When using SW Mode:
--> a) Settings -> Decoder -> CPU core limit -> Set to max of whatever your device is
--> b) Settings -> Decoder -> Use speedup tricks

LIST OF DEMANDING Hi10p FILES THAT YOU CAN USE TO TEST YOUR DEVICE (mainly anime as that's what most commonly uses Hi10p)
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=489663&showfiles=1 This file is fairly demanding at 22.3Mbps bitrate.
Anything from http://coalgirls.wakku.to/ that's 1080p and released in 2013 or later would be 10bit, and would make for a good test. All their files are relatively high bitrate, so it will be a good indicator of the CPU's capabilities with S/W.
If you are willing to waste bandwidth with an even harder test, you could try this: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=552753 12GB and 10835 kbit/s bitrate.
Unique encoding settings: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=557914&showfiles=1 movies 1 or 2. This is also 10bit (720p), but with 4:4:4 subsampling (on movies 1 and 2) as opposed to standard 4:2:0 subsampling.
Very, VERY demanding: HEVC 4K 10bit video @ 51.6 Mb/s: http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=96
Various reference files from libde (including Big Buck Bunny): http://www.libde265.org/downloads-videos/

Now, a very useful summary by @Dante of the Inferno of the current required specs to successfully play 10-bit files on Android!
Last updated: 2015-08-24
Dante of the Inferno said:
Hi10p Minimum Hardware Requirements:
x86 Architecture:
720p:
2.0+ GHz Dual Core CPU with integrated graphics (2006 or later)
2.2+ GHz Single Core CPU (up to 30 fps and low bit rate)
1080p:
Intel Atom Z3770 (Bay Trail) with integrated graphics (2014 or later)
ARM Architecture:
720p:
Snapdragon 600 SoC (2013 or later) - based on quad-core 1.9 GHz Krait 300 CPU and Adreno 320 GPU
1080p:
Exynos 7 Octa 7420 (2015 or later) - based on ARM v8
Amlogic S812 - based on ARM A9 with octo-core Mali 450 GPU
Nvidia Tegra K1
Snapdragon 810 (generally should work, but probably only for lower bitrate files)

Here's an update guys... I just tested out the new Galaxy S5, and it runs 1080p hi10p PERFECTLY. No frame skips in panning scenes. I did not expect a minor update (Snapdragon 801 over an 800) to be able to do it or make much of a difference, but it's now the best mobile device for playing 10 bit video.
It kills the K900's performance in 1080p, as well as other phones using Snapdragon 800. This is the last phone you should ever need with respect to anime viewing. Although I will be waiting for the Snap 805s at the earliest before I change phone again.
That's good news! But have you checked if it can maintain the 1080p Hi10p performance for say an hour long video? It clearly has enough power to render it, but I'm wondering if the frame buffer or queue would die if you played for a video as long as an hour .

Has anyone else been able to try using the Galaxy S5 for extended 1080p Hi10p playback?

Two things:
1) I know most modern smartphones can play 10-bit 720p encoded content quite nicely, but just want to chime in that the Galaxy Note 3 Neo (LTE version) with the hexacore Exynos SoC (dual Cortex-A15, quad Cortex-A7) has no problems with such videos. With my only 10-bit 1080p test video, the phone played it back okay, maybe around like 90%?
2) Toshiba recently announced a new 7" Android tablet called the Excite Go running some type of quad-core Intel chip for $110. Possibly might be the cheapest tablet for on-the-go 10-bit video watching even though the screen resolution is only 1024x600?

Hey CDBrian, maybe you remember me, Arjen de Jong. I am following the Hi10P thread for a long time now.
I saw your last message about playing a long Hi10P video on the Galaxy S5.
I have got a S5 and I'm going to try and watch the movie Eve no Jikan from ZUM in 1080p on the device.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Awesome, thanks!

I just watched a few minutes of the movie, but in panning and quick movement scenes it lags a bit. I don't if this is because of the bitrate (CRF 17,5) but I'm gonna try another 1080p video.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, but I got the G900F, the international Snapdragon variant.

Yeah, the ZUM 1080p release is 6442 kBit/s 10bit, probably too much.
I believe that the Europe version has the same Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 @ Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400?

Did you get a chance to try any other videos?

Anyone try to play with MTK6582 1.7/2.0ghz cpu?
Snapdragon 800/801 has almost the same CPU spec even in antutu benchmark, and for Snapdragon 805 unless it support 10-bit hardware decoding I doubt that it can smoothly playback 15mbps hi10p.
The hopes are on
MTK6595
Atom Z3560/Z3580 with MX Player + Intel optimized codec.

A chinese review come out for snapdragon 805.
www[dot]igao7[dot]com/s5-ltea-preview.html
conclusion the cpu of 805 is almost as same level as 801
a.k.a no hope for smooth hi10p playback using snapdragon 805

I probably be planning to get the Samsung Note 4 this September (been using iPhone very long time).
Does anyone know which be suited for 10 bits?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 (SM-N910S)
Exynos 5433 (SM-N910C)

if you mean smooth playback on all scenes for high quality 10-bit 1080p encoded with more than 8mbit/s
NO
Maybe quad core intel atom with software sse3 codec installed (MX Player got this option) or MTK6595T (This chip got most of the power allocated to CPU) can do. Not tested myself

Just wanted to add to the pool of knowledge here.
10bit 720p seems to be working perfectly so far on my Note 3. I only tested a couple of videos, but I have yet to see any lag, even during panning scenes. The videos tested were: Jojo Stardust Crusaders (some episodes, by Horriblesubs), Soul Eater Not (some episodes, also by Horriblesubs) and Nisekoi (one episode, by FFF). It is not overclocked, and I am running the X-Note rom. I disable multitasking and kill all processes just to be safe before playback (unsure if this is even needed). It is playing in H/W+.
I tried some 1080p 10bit videos and it was awful. I have no idea how the guy with the S5 managed to watch it. The Note 3 has the same hardware, so maybe the videos he tried were of a lower bitrate...? I don't know.

HTC One - MX ver. 1.7.28
I've got an issue with 10bit playback on my HTC One. I've been using the combination of Serviio, BubbleUPnP, and MX Player to stream my videos over my home network. It has been working flawlessly, until I try to play a 10bit video with subtitles. Over the network, the subtitles do not show up at all. If I transfer the video to my device and then try to play it, I get subtitles but the video becomes a bit choppy and annoying to watch. This only seems to happen on the 10bit videos. I'm not sure what I can do to get things working.
I am on a completely stock HTC One with Android version 4.4.2, HTC Sense 6.0, and using MX Player version 1.7.28.
Just for the sake of completeness, here is a MediaInfo dump of one of the episodes that is giving me this issue:

Some mixed news on the Hi10p front. With the Tegra K1 SOC in the Xiaomi Mipad I can get smooth playback on Hi10p 1080p mkv with high bitrates with acceleration but I have to use VLC beta for Android. MXplayer is crashing all over the place on the Mipad. Here's hoping MXplayer devs can support the Tegra K1.

99% of all Horriblesubs files are 8bit.
@Fenrir007 did you enable speedup tricks? When playing a video: menu -> play -> use speedup tricks.
Also, settings -> decoder -> CPU code limit -> be sure to force 4 cores.

@Kantana mind editing your post and linking to your other thread?

@raitono Without looking further into how Serviio works, my guess is because for 10bit files, Serviio is first transcoding the 10bit video to 8bit before passing it via UPnP to Bubble. My assumption is that while transcoding, it only passes through the audio, and drops the subtitle stream. As to why it might do this, my guess is because Serviio doesn't know how to handle .ass subtitles, since it's not a commercial standard.
The CBM file you have is 8bit, so there would be no need for Serviio to transcode it. In that case, Serviio probably just passes the file as-is to Bubble.
I watch a lot of anime, and I'm a power user of anidb.net so I understand where you are coming from!

[Bug] Embedded subtitles in mkv loaded, but not displayed.

Latest stable pro build, I have activated the option to auto-load subtitles (both embedded and not). Starting a random mkv, the subtitles are not displayed. Tapping the subtitle icon shows the subtitle is active (checked). Unchecking and re-checking the subtitle displays it. Resuming same file displays the files, so it seems only the initial load doesn't load the subs.
Basically:
Code:
load file -> subs not loaded -> reload subs -> exit -> resume -> subs load
-> start over -> subs not loaded
load file -> subs not loaded -> exit -> resume -> subs load!
-> start over -> subs not loaded
I noticed that after upgrading to the newly released version.
Probably related, didn't see it because it was posed as a question...

Hmm, this sounds like a subtitle caching issue... not sure what the developer may have changed in this regard between versions a few days ago.
Also, mind posting your file's mediainfo?

It happens with about any recent 10bit .mkv

Also, after switching to S/W subs, only exiting and resuming helps, reloading the subs themselves does not. Though this is probably because the CPU is busy decoding 10bit video.
Speaking of which, I just tried playing an 8bit mkv and everything works. So it looks like a caching issue indeed, with the cache taking a while to fill with when decoding 10bit on my CPU. Resuming seems to have some sort of different cache handling, so that subs can appear.
I propose an option along the lines of "wait until queues are full before starting playback (all/10bit only)"

Would you send me a sample video clip?
Video pixel format is irrelevant to subtitle handling at all. And cannot reproduce this issue even on my oldest device.

It's not about pixel format itself, but about the load on the CPU while using the S/W decoder. At least I think so.
I sent you the link to the file per PM.

@bleu8888 I recently sent you a PM with a few examples of the first few lines of subtitles not loading for SW, with sample files. Check it out! It appears to be a similar issue to this thread.
For reference, the part from that PM that is relevant here:
CDB-Man said:
However I found a different issue: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=425256 For this episode, sometimes when I play the video from the beginning from the menu, the first 1 to 3 lines don't get displayed. Lines after that are fine. In this case, the very first line "What's he doing?" gets dropped the most often. Clearing font cache generally doesn't make a difference. Even if I seek back to that part, the first line is dropped. The old build (1.7.28) didn't have this issue with the first lines.
Hmm, seems the first few lines also get dropped for this too, similar to the above: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=358158
Seems that this also includes typesetting if typesetting is the first subtitle. For example episode 18: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=440124
The sign on the door should say "It's Suguha's room". The first few lines at around time 00:10 also don't show.
It also includes kareoke subs. See Girls und Panzer OVA6 v2 [1984FB83] here: ftp://ftp.actions-micro.com/CDB_Test_Videos/
ftp username: public ftp password welcome2014!
The first 1 or 2 lines of the opening kareoke do not load.
Checked more into it, and it seems that for files where SW is needed, there's a high chance that the first few lines (including typeset) are dropped and not shown. (Nichijou is 8bit so HW+. It's first lines show up. ie line #1 "Okay, that's all for today")

I'd also like to confirm this.
I tried watching Hanayamata 04 on my Nexus 7 2nd. The first few lines were cut before displaying the rest. (A few other 10bit files I tried were the same.)
I also noticed the Karaoke seemed to be a bit slow in rendering, at least from my perspective, but wasn't out of sync afaict.
On another note, if there's a long delay (say a few seconds) between the beginning of the video and the first subtitled line (E.g. Glasslip 04), it'll load fine.

Thanks, the test build fixes the issue for me!

I have a possibly related issue.... MX Player works just fine on my phone (Galaxy Note 2 running an ICS-based custom rom) but on my recently-purchased tablet (Medion Lifetab S10334 / MD 98811, running stock Kitkat) trying to play the same file (an anime episode saved as .mkv with embedded soft subtitles) the subs will only display when the UI shows. Any suggestions?

What is the type of embedded subtitle?
Also try Android 4.0 compatible mode under Settings > Player.

I hadn't even considered the compatible mode, seeing as it works just fine on my phone without but that actually did it. Thanks a lot. (subs are ssa, by the way - not that it matters much since the issue is resolved for me but just to leave no loose ends...)

[Bug Report] Double Audio Track problem

Hello guys,
i would like to ask you for help with this problem.
I have Xtreamer SideWinder4 on Android 4.2.2, there is this specs:
Chipset:
Processor: Dual-Core AML8726 Mx-D (AMLOGIC) ARM Cortex-A9 dual core/1.5GHZ
Memory:
FLASH: 8GB NAND Flash (32M bit nor flash+32GbitMLC flash)
SDRAM: 1GB DDR3
1. If i switch audio track in mkv movie, then it play both audio together. It´s mean first audio track (usualy Enghlish) and second one(for which i want switch) together. I have tried some things to solve it out like tick on/off s/w audio, play with s/w or h/w, with or without custom codecs but nothing helps. If i play the movie with s/w then audio is ok (it just play selected audio), but video is not smooth and it´s very slow. If i switch for h/w than video is great, but there is the problem with double audio.
2. I can´t use h/w+ as it says everytime " this file can´t be played with h/w+". I don´t know why. I am using Mx player on my tablet(with cortex A9 quad core) as well and there is no any problem with it. I can play there movie with h/w+ and switch audio track with no problem.
Any ideas please how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

How about using audio with S/W?
Settings > Decoder > S/W Audio

I have tried already, but no change. If i use s/w for audio and h/w for video then it play only first audio track even i have switched to second audio track. If i use h/w for both(video and audio) then it play both audio track together.

Can you post the media info of the file?
How many track is shown as selected in mx player?
If it possible upload a sample clip?

Here is the movie info, but i have same problem with all movies as well. I can play only first audio track in each movie with no problem. If i want switch it, than there is problem.
Mx player show me all audio tracks which are include in movie and i can select any of them.
By me the main problem is that i can´t use h/w+. On my tablet i am using h/w+ and there is no problem like on this Xtreamer.

Mx player show me all audio tracks which are include in movie and i can select any of them.
By me the main problem is that i can´t use h/w+. On my tablet i am using h/w+ and there is no problem like on this Xtreamer.

Have you enabled H/W audio track selecectable in Settings》Decoder..?
Try again after disabling it. It may cause problem in some devices. It's better to keep it disabled in your case since you have problem only in H/W mode.
If it's still not working, Enable S/W audio in Settings 》Decoder & Try to play it in H/W decoder. By this you can play video in H/W & audio in S/W.
Try the both combination (H/W audio track selecectable is disabled & S/W audio is enabled)
Note:
After changing the settings, when it ask to resume don't resume & select start over. Else it will use the previously used decoder settings.

Hi, thanks for reply.
I have tried the options what you wrote me, but no change. In H/W decoder video play great, but it´s play only first audio track, even if i select second one still play the first.
In S/W decoder audio play great, i can select audio track with no problem, but video doesn´t play smooth. It play very slow.
So i really don´t know what else it can be.

have you tried the thinks that I have mentioned in my previous reply?
Your reply is same as what your have reported earlier.
1. Have you tried the same after disabling H/W audio track selecectable from Settings 》Decoder ?
2. Have you tried in H/W mode after enabling S/W audio from Settings 》Decoder ? (First enable S/W audio then change the track)
3. Try Both together.
As I have already told don't resume after changing anything on settings 》decoder. Else it will use the same settings when you have used earlier.

can you post the screenshot of video properties window (after enabling more)?
It will be better if you can post the logs as well.
Previous log doesn't contains any playback information. Logs must be collected immediately after playback.
Just play the video that has issue, if you are getting double audio close the video & Immediately go to Help >> Bug Report
Save the logs & attach here.

Hello,
I seem to have this same issue. For video files with multiple audio streams, if I select H/W decoding I cannot switch between audio tracks. I didn't investigate which audio track MX Player is processing. Probably it's the first one it can find in the file.
If I switch to S/W decoding, this problem goes away (i.e. I can switch audio tracks), however the S/W decoding is very slow and watching the video in this mode is impossible on my device. Also, I absolutely need the H/W decoding for sound because my device is doing DTS and AC3 multichannel passthrough for my AV receiver and 5.1 audio system.
I'm using the ARM v7 codec (auto requested by MX Player). My device is a HiMedia Q5 with an ARM Cortex9 core.
Many thanks for any updates!
Best regards,
Marian.

One more update for this one: I have the same problem with embedded subtitle tracks. When in H/W decoding MX Player doesn't play, nor can I select embedded subtitle streams. This, however, works in S/W decoding (just like the audio track selection).
Please also note that external subtitles work just fine (in both S/W and H/W decoding modes).
Can we get a confirmation of this bug in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297
?
Thank you,
Marian.

I've tried this video on many devices but not Micromax Canvas.
But can't reproduce this issue, looks like a device specific issue.

It happen with some 2-3 files only .other files are working properly.

I can confirm that I'm facing this problem too.
I'm playing a movie and it's going fine. Then I pause & minimise it to do something else. When I go back to movie, the screen is dark and it doesn't play. Sometimes only the audio plays and the subtitles roll by, but video remains black. Sometimes if I press the "go to beginning" button, video resumes, but if I try to seek forward, it goes black again. Then I switch to sw codec, and everything's fine.
Using default codec on lollipop 5.1, Nexus 10 (manta).

It looks like a partially downloaded/corrupted video. FFMpeg has failed to detect pixel format & failed to identify keyframes.
Can you share the video with us? We need to analyse the video.

Sorry, I can't,it's a porn video.?

It's very difficult to address the issue without checking the video.
If it's possible, upload the video somewhere else like Google Drive & shares the link by PM.
