[Q] HTC Sensation and .3gp 1080p video recording

As above surely as a multi media device and 1080p video recording it would be better to capture video in .mp4 for better allround compatibility.
Does anyone know why HTC use .3gp rather than .mp4 for video recording?

Are you sure it's only .3gp?

According to the spec on HTC's site, it only records in .3gp

ah ok. the European HTC site has way more info on it than the US one does for the Sensation

That's what the Atrix does too.
I use lgcamera app if I want it recorded in other formats.
Found it kind of odd too.

desire HD can .mp4 (desire with ace port to)
i thing sensation can to. this moment i can't chek sensation rom dump.

They don't have the mp4 license.. it's only a container, so quality or anything else is not infected if it's 3gp.

So it's possible to transcode the video you get from .3gp to .mp4? And you need a license to use .mp4? That must suck.

There's no transcoding needed; it's just a different container. A command-line utility like ffmpeg can quickly wrap it into an mp4 container for you if you prefer that. No difference in quality.

Or... simply change the file extention to .mp4 for a faster fix either on phone or in windows/mac.

Yes, it is strange to use a format with negative connotations like 3GP (I remember old dumbphones recording in 3GP, it's like the video equivalent of AMR...) but as others have said it's only a container so doesn't affect the actual quality which is determined by the codec used, namely H264 MPEG-4.

hey man i am hoping you can help me with this.
i am trying to watch the videos i make on my samsung lcd tv which is dlna compliant. the pictures i take are working flawlessly but SADLY when i try playing videos it says format not supported. this is a real bummer! my tv plays .mp4's just fine so it must be a .3gp issue. any suggestions?

That's an interesting problem. I'd like to know the reason/fix.

Have you tried renaming the files to .mp4?

yes i have tried renaming them. it still didnt play on the tv. hoping there is a solution.

YAMB may be able to split and rejoin the 3GP container into an MP4, give that a try.

this will convert on the computer right? then i can use any converter, but it makes little sense to first download the video, convert it and then watch it.

I can't get lgcamera to take a video on the sensation. It takes pics but says recording failed when trying any type of video.

[APP][2.1+/3.0+] VPlayer, 720p/1080p Hardware decoding, new brilliant UI

I have too many blueray videos to watch on my tablet, but no video players can handle them.
I have tried diceplayer, which support hardware decoding in many formats. The performance is great.
All the other video players such as mx video player, moboplayer, don't support real hw decoding like dice player.
They only support the formats which the devices supported already. These 'hw decoding' players are just the devices video player with an different UI.

Dice player is brilliant with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. But its interface is too ugly and it dosen't support the streams as well as VPlayer, which I've used for about 1 year.
Now VPlayer has true hw decoding just like dice player. And I find that it has a new interface.
I can play 720p mkv, flv, avi, m3u8, ts, mov, 3gp with VPlayer new version in my galaxy tab.
And the blueray 1080p also works very well with my Galaxy S2.

thanks, seems great player

Hey loving your Video Player!
Keep up the great work!

good player,
thank you very much.

Same thing on the arc s (LT18) so presumably would be even worse on the arc (LT15) since it's got a slower processor.

I don't know why. But it's brilliant with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy S2.

It seems that the player use new version of vitamio Do you planning to update sdk too?

Look of the player is really great, but on my Sensation it isn't as good as dice player - 720p videos have lags, but definitely a good start looking for further updates

I'm not the developer, I found the new version from VPlayer's website http://vplayer.net
So I think the developers are building a new version for testing. The market version hasn't been updated yet.

Doesn't really buffer to well for online video playback. Switched back to MX for that and I'm using this for on phone video files.

Have you ppl tested BSPlayer Lite? It supports HW decoding as well and ui is nice.

Looks good, but videos are lagy on sgs. MX is still the best player.

Everyoneis missing the point. OP is overworking his devices for no reason. 1080p on a phone screen. Why? Don't complain about choppy playback when your trying to view a video (priated to boot) that's overall MBps is way to much for the device.
Either format the video for tthe device or stream it.

MKV playback

Using a player like MX Player or Dice, is playback smooth for you with mkv files using hardware acceleration? Do you get sound if the audio is ac3?

I'm able to play 1080p anime that has ac3 audio, .ass subtitles, in an mkv container and the video track is in h264. I'm able to play it with MK Player. This device handles it like a champ. No lag here!

It goes smooth with RockPlayer.

+1. I'm getting also slow playback with some video files (not only mkv) if HW activated with DICE or MX Player. Software Player is working like a charm on the other hand... I don't know if this is normal behaviour... In fact we don't have "hardware" to help decoding, have we?
@other people in this thread: note that he's asking about hardware decoding... You're all reporting smooth playback, but you don't specify if you use hardware decoding.

Are you sure? I can't... Hardware player throws an error (something about system player can't play that file)... and software player is slow as DICE and MX... ¿¿¿???

Was watching a .mkv file with MX Player and it looked not that great. For what ever reason Mx Player wasn't supporting H/W Accelaration for this particular video. So i tried another player (BS Player) and the H/W Accelaration worked flawless and the video looked nicer =)

I was able to watch the birds video on mobo player without any perceived lag. From what I could tell, it was using HW acceleration by default, but I can't confirm that it was actually doing so.

quick question does your htc one s heat up when you watch those videos like 720p or 1080p?

Yup. Try with RockPlayer…
And, as asked, I tested by hardware… software just can't handle that.

I don't understand then... There's no config involved here, so I just can't understand why we can't play that file and you don't see an problem... ¿?
This is a screenshot of what I get if I try to play birds file within RockPlayer, in hardware mode:

Do you use stock ROM, or a cooked one?

Stock…
Try download again, maybe the file is corrupted.

If it's playable in software mode I don't think it's corrupted... But I'll try anyway.

I had a copy of The Boondock Saints that had AC3 audio and the audio wouldn't play.
That doesn't answer the HW question but it might have just been the copy I "borrowed".

Not the case I think, as I'm still with (branded) 1.53.(75).3. But definitelly it has something to do with versions, as you've seen.
bye!

Well before I had a older version: 1.53.401.2.

Then we could conclude that from version 1.53.xx.3 (mine), we've got this problem... ¿?
Third number is a rom id (401 is no branded, 75 corresponds to Orange Spain branded), so it doesn't care.

Being BETA,its slower than final. So, wait for final Version to get MAX Performance

Buddy its not for us, It will not work on Galaxy R its only for ARM V7 processor with NEON version...

Our handset had Tegra 2 which does not support NEON instructions as told above by vikram.
However they have said they'll release it for other CPUs as well so we'll get one for us in sometime, then you can update the OP here.

Hmm, most of 1080p and even 720p [email protected] videos that I've tried on Vplayer lagged. Some of 720p videos played smoothly on Dice or MX Player, but none of them can play 1080p higher than [email protected] smoothly.

When I tried to play the video with VPlayer hardware acceleration, I saw a black screen with sound. What's the problem?

[APP][5.0+] Just (Video) Player - no Bluetooth lag / ExoPlayer / FFmpeg audio codecs

Just Player is a video player based on the ExoPlayer library/framework from Google. Just Player is fairly trivial right now - most work is done by ExoPlayer and I have just added few actions and controls here and there. The whole app is basically just a single screen with an option to load video - no library view or application settings.
Why?
Compensation for Bluetooth audio lag. ExoPlayer does that automatically, plays video in sync with audio.
All special audio formats. Thanks to FFmpeg, ExoPlayer can handle even special formats like AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, DTS-HD, TrueHDetc.
Free / open source
(Clean, uncluttered GUI)
I wasn't able to find any video player satisfying all above needs. I personally use nPlayer which does well with both Bluetooth and audio codecs. Another competitor to Just Player is SimplePlayer (also ExoPlayer based) though Just Player tries making the UI easier.
I also found out that VLC isn't able to play HDR videos properly (colors are washed out) or that MX Player isn't that able to play 4K 60 FPS HDR video without shuttering (even on Snapdragon 855 / OnePlus 7). Tested with "The World in HDR" video from Kodi Samples. This Player plays it just fine.
Supported formats​
Audio: Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, ALAC, PCM/WAVE (μ-law, A-law), MP1, MP2, MP3, AMR (NB, WB), AAC (LC, ELD, HE; xHE on Android 9+), AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, DTS-HD, TrueHD
Video: H.263, H.264 AVC (Baseline Profile; Main Profile on Android 6+), H.265 HEVC, MPEG-4 SP, VP8, VP9, AV1
Containers: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, Ogg, MPEG-TS, MPEG-PS, FLV, AVI ()
Subtitles: SRT, SSA, ASS, TTML, VTT, DVB
HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision) video playback on compatible/supported hardware.

Then there are the little things like supporting notch, fine tuning the brightness curve, making file open dialog remember its last position, forcing landscape when playing video...
To load external (non-embedded) subtitles, long press the file open action in the bottom bar. The first time you do that, you will be offered to select root video folder to enable automatic loading of external subtitles.

What's next
It's amazing to me that in just a few hours of work and few hundreds lines of code it is possible to create a video player that I actually can use. I probably won't be adding support for features that are too big for this little player - like playlists, media library etc. but I should probably be able to improve things like subtitles (it should be easy with ExoPlayer). So just let me know what do you think.

The app got suspended on Google Play for listing compatible subtitle formats.
Check the link - it's ironic because I reused the description from a Google library (for playing videos) and this is what caused the suspension.
EDIT: Fortunately the app was reinstated few hours later.

Great app, especially for the feature i am asking about:
There is a "timeshift" if i access certain free TV-Streams in Germany. The only program for the PC is a version of KMPlayer, which -and that's different- starts the stream up to -2hours* from now w/o the option to seek up to the "live feed" (i could save the stream-starting in the past or speed up the play speed but it's no fun). Just Player can seek to any point from -2hours* to the live feed.
Is that included by accident or on purpose, if so what is the name of that feature or how does it work - is there a "proxy mechanism" involved? D
No other player (i dare to say i know some) on Android or PC beside the 2 mentioned have that feature...and i would like to seek to any time* on the PC.
* the time to look into the past varies...but the last 2 hours is mostly true.
Example - probably geo-blocked: https://derste247livede.akamaized.net/hls/live/658317/daserste_de/master_1280p_3328.m3u8
i tried to find international streams but they go back 1Minte max.
Any insight would be appreciated

@ks123_reloaded This player uses ExoPlayer which is a library from Google, primarily intended for integrating/creating streaming apps on Android & TV. They probably care a lot about media consumption and supporting the ecosystem as a whole so they really integrate the streaming well. The feature you are asking about is probably something like this: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/87

sounds like it. Thx
Now my quest for finding the PC version can go on

Maybe I didn’t understand something, but E-AC-3 and DTS formats are not played on Ugoos X3 pro and Mecool KM6 delux (silence), but on MI Box S, which has a DTS license, everything is in order. So E-AC-3 and DTS can only be played with hardware codecs? Or is there some settings? Vimu plays everything on all devices...

If the connected device doesn't have E-AC3 or DTS capability, it should fallback to the FFmpeg decoder. This is managed (default behavior) by ExoPlayer so I suspect it's some device specific issue (reporting/detecting wrong capabilities). Currently there's no setting for that but based on the feedback, I will be adding that.

Most latest phones have HDR displays, so does S20 FE - you can check here: https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s20_fe-10428.php
Only Dolby Vision is limited to very few devices.

I just wanted to say that Just Player is the ONLY player i could find as an android TV app on my Sony X900H TV that can play Dolby Vision and some other HDR movie files properly off a USB drive connected directly to my TV. The native player, VLC, Nova player, MX player, none worked ! Plex did work but i had to stream from my PC and it stuttered badly.
So Just Player has been a lifesaver It is amazing and so far plays EVERYTHING !
Not asking to get too fancy, but maybe a slightly nicer interface when navigating your drive to select files would be nice.

I have a request for this app: Can you the developer of this app please add an indicator in the video player that shows when a HDR video is actually playing?
When i'm playing a HDR video with the Samsung Video player on my Galaxy Z Fold 3, then it shows a HDR logo in front of the video name.
Adding this would be awesome .

Hello, thank you to the developer for this wonderful video player that I use on a shield pro 2019.
I don't know if it's possible but I will have 2 recommendations.
Movies in 23.976 fps switch well in 23.976hz but movies in 24 fps and 25 fps switch respectively in 120hz and 50hz for me. Would it be possible to change that?
Also, concerning the resolution, would it be possible to create an option to automatically switch the screen to the original resolution of the films?
Thank you very much and sorry for my English :s
