I've got a nvidia shield (not the tablet) and got MX Player working decently (there's a slight off-topic issue I'll describe further down), but my subtitles aren't working properly.
As far as I can tell the font and placements are correct, but the timing is off. Things are disappearing before they're supposed to, some subs aren't showing at all, and effects (like fading) just don't work. Is there anything I can try to fix these issues?
My other problem, which isn't subtitle related, is 10-bit playback. In the sticky, it says tegra devices can use HW, otherwise SW is required. I'm under the impression the shield is tegra, but MX Player asks me to install the ARMv7 NEON codec rather than a tegra one. Whenever I try HW playback, it's got loads of artefacts and just doesn't play properly. Is this a problem with the shield (such as it not being tegra) or should I try a different custom codec?
Cheers!
It's only HW+ that supports Tegra, not HW.
Subs aren't perfect, because libass isn't perfect; there isn't much that can be done until the dev implements whatever new subtitle renderer that he's got planned.
In the interim, try enabling or disabling hardware subtitle acceleration.
Maybe you should try converting subs to srt or ssa or other common format.
Its sub inside a mkv file? You can try ripping it, there is an app called "MKV sub ripper" or something like that in the Play Store.

Ah, my mistake. Should I bother with custom codecs for HW+ (and if so, which one) or is that irrelevant for HW+?
Just tried HW+, still looks pretty bad.
Subs don't seem different with or without hw acceleration, although from what I'm seeing most of the problems come from effects like fading.

If you have read through our 10bit thread carefully you might be aware that you should enable speed up tricks from Settings 》Decoder.
Regarding fade effect, If I am not wrong, MX Player doesn't support all subtitle effects. But, I am not sure about that.
Regarding other subtitle issue, Can you extract & upload the subtitle from mkv file (you canuse mkvextractGUI)? There may be a chances of overlap in timings or caching issue.

I read through the thread, but I thought speed up tricks was for the SW decoding? I was trying to use HW+ but it looks really, really bad.
I've attached the subs, the place I kept checking for an issue was at around 21:40. The "sakende" just vanishes early. Also tracking subtitles (there's an example around 7:30) don't work properly, but I'm guessing that's down to the same reason fades don't work.
I'm not sure if the Shield (or any other non-computer device) has enough power for 10bit 1080p yet. Also, I think I remember @bleu8888 saying there was something funny about Tegra HW+ support for the Shield. I don't quite remember the details, so I'll let him comment. Otherwise, you'll just have to stick with SW for now :/
Knowing UTW, it's probably some .ssa typesetting magic that libass can't handle. Most fansubs, especially for their typesetting, make their subs assuming you'll be using xy-vsfilter on your PC. MX Player uses ffmpeg, and therefore the libass library for subs. Sometimes, when typesetting is rendered incorrectly, ie it disappears too fast, it will also affect the main text and make that disappear too.
Needless to say, libass sucks compared to xy-vsfilter. It can't handle all the "magic" that xy-vs can.
If I were you, I'd consider doing a batch operation, and use Aegisub to hardsub the subs into the video. Otherwise there isn't much else that can be done until bleu finishes whatever new subtitle system he has in the works.

ASS is the 4th version of SSA or SubStation Alpha, it's an acronym for Advanced SubStation alpha. I doubt any player can play SSA but can't play ASS. converting them to srt will make them useless; because ass subtitles have styling and effects like font colour and size, fading and rotating...etc
You can burn the subtitles in the video to make them hard-subbed. Handbrake is easy to use and is perfect if the subtitles are in English (or probably any language that uses Latin alphabet), while mpv must be used with command lines but is perfect for non-Latin subtitles (like Arabic)

I tried a lot of effects with MX on my N7 like fading, rotating, karaoke effects and change in text size and they all worked.

Unfortunately with Handbrake, if you try to burn in karaoke subs, it won't burn in the motion: ie it will burn in the each line of the kfx "half-way through", as if the karaoke is stuck half-flashed for each kfx line; try it with any subs with flashing kfx, and you'll see.
This is why I originally said Aegisub:

Hi,
Does anybody manage to get subtitles when using the hdmi-output ? The Video Google Player does not detect srt at all, and when I'm using another player (mobo, rock, mvideoplayer, etc...), the movie is displayed through hdmi-out but the subtitles stick to the TF screen ! Not really handy to watch a movie ;-) I would like to keep hardware acceleration (to play 720p movie) and get subtitle displayed through the hdmi-output without hard-burning the srt if possible.
Has anyone already tried to watch movies with subtitles through hdmi output ?
Thanks !
This is just a thought but have you tried embedding the subtitles into the video container (e.g. mkv)? You can use the application mkvmerge GUI to re-mux the video as an mkv and add the subtitle file resulting in one file which has video/audio/subtitles.
Free tool: MKVToolnix -- Cross-platform tools for Matroska
These mkv tools includes the mkvmerge GUI that I mentioned. My thinking is that if the subtitle file was part of the video container the Android players may play them in a way that gets around the issue you are having. This would be the most efficient method as no transcoding of you video would be required.
The method that would definitely work would be "hard coding" the subtitles onto the video frames. This does away with the need for a subtitle file but does require that the video is transcoded.
Handbrake documentation: See "Hard Burn"
Free tool: Handbrake Downloads
Good luck
Hi,
Thanks for the answer, I knew about hardburning ; see my question : "get subtitle displayed through the hdmi-output without hard-burning the srt if possible"... Moreover, it seems that mkv is not well recognised by stock video player (google video player), and I reencoded mkv to mp4, with a subtitle track, but the players I tried did not load mp4 subtitles (though it did with mkv, but mkv is really slow compared to mp4). Anyway, thanks for your suggestion ! I will dig a little bit, to see if I can build an mkv file with video in H264, subtitles, and hardware acceleration...
Haven't tried it myself as I haven't got hdmi out working yet but can you use splash top to remote to yr PC, play the video through PC app with subtitles, and output the remote session to tv? I believe I recall someone saying they do this using splash top HD (think you have to pay for that, poster said it was worth it).
For what it's worth I have the same issue with my iPad.
Thanks for the tip, but splashtop hd does not work on linux, and dont have/want windows machine at home.
Did you solve it ? I'm having the same issue :\
It sucks because english it's not my native language and one of the reasons why i bought this tablet was for use it as a media player on the tv ..
fixed by buying a popcorn hour... Tf is not ready for replacing a network media tank. Definitely.
It works for me with BSPlayer and using software decoding mode in preferences.
With MX Player free subtitles work ok. With BS Player and Dice Player subtitles are shown in the tablet but not in the tv, they worked before but not anymore since one of the last ota updates.. i dont know if they changed something related to overlay in the rom because it used to work for me some weeks ago.

There isn't. For me, it seems that the hardware decoding prevents somehow to display subtitles through hdmi output.
software limitation?
i'm hoping that this is a software limitation that can be fixed someday.. anybody knows?
Good lord. Just install a custom firmware. For example revolver works for sure on the third android. I have not tried on ics though. Mx player allows 2+ subs btw. (i have suggested this feature btw also)

We are talking about Hardware accelerated video WITH subtitles over HDMI..
MxPlayer works in Software mode only..
As what I see
hardware acceleration does not render the soft subtitles together with the video
looks like there are "2 different layer" display video on your device screen with hardware acceleration
Playing on your device screen (SW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player, soft subtitles, SW rendered video - on device screen as a layer
hw layer= none
*you see everything on device screen, but video may stutter
Playing on your device screen (HW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player, and soft subtitles - on device screen as top layer
hw layer= the video - on device screen as 2nd layer
*you see everything on device screen, perfectly
Playing thru HDMI on HDTV or any display monitor (SW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player, soft subtitles and SW rendered video - on both device screen and HDTV/Monitor as a layer, you see everything but video stuttering cos lack of hardware acceleration
hw layer= none
*you see everything on both device screen and HDTV/Monitor, but video may stutter
Playing thru HDMI on HDTV or any display monitor (HW mode)
sw layer= the UI of your video player and soft subtitles - on device screen, you see only UI and soft subtitles.
hw layer=video only (hardware accelerated) - on HDTV/Monitor thru HDMI, you see only video, no soft subtitles, no video player UI
*you see only video on HDTV/Monitor, then videoplayer UI and soft subtitles on device screen.
it seems hardware acceleration disables UI to be displayed on HDTV/Monitor thru HDMI when a HW mode video playback is active.
I hope video player developers can find a way allow the soft subtitles to be display together with video on HDMI output someday
As for now, if you want to see soft subtitle on HDTV thru hdmi output, you have to re-encode the videos with subtitles (hard sub)
or
Watch It on SW mode, thats extremely lag and looks bad especially for HD videos
I got a ASUS TF300T and I'm having the same issue, not only with internal videos, but when I run netflix the subtitles just display on the Pad's screen and not on the HDTV. T_T
Some solution for this? I use bus player with software decoding and tit was the temporally solution....
But I need to know some solution to resolve with hardware decoding

Try MX Player and send reports back.
I dont have HDMI cable for my tablet At the moment so.
Try it.
MX Player is displaying with SW mode but laggy in HD videos.HW mode dont display any subs on HDMI output.I embed the subs into the video with VirtualDub,with a plugin inside, especially for HD videos, it plays well.
Hello all,
I have discovered a way to display subtitles on HDMI even when using HW-accelerated video from either MX Player or BS Player...
BTW, this option only works for Asus TF300T official JellyBean firmware...
Go to Settings --> Developer options --> Drawing --> enable "Disable HW Overlays" checkbox
This will force GPU to do all compositing work. Videos will now play wth subtitles on HDMI even if HW-accelerated. The downside is that the video is displayed on both the tablet as well as the HDMI port unlike before where the video is only displayed on the HDMI port and the UI remains with the tablet in HW-accelerated mode.
Hope this helps...
^_^
P.S.
This does not fix the issue of MX Player not being able to use HW-acceleration properly (choppy video or falls back to SW-decoding) for files that used to play fine pre-Jellybean OTA update. Just use BS Player for the meantime until MX Player gets fixed. I miss the nice ASS subtitles that MX Player renders though...
So the stock browser doesn't play M4V embedded subtitles. Booo. I'm thinking either I have to re-encode all my videos and hard sub them or switch to another player that will software decode. No other player seems to support embedded subs though. I have to put SRTs in the same directory.
mVideoPlayer has so far been the best option in order to actually change the size so the subs don't come out tiny.
So:
1. Are there any other players that so far support hardware decoding and also support subtitles? - Don't want to waste battery.
2. Are there any players that support embedded subtitles in an m4v? (not hardsubs)
3. What is the best program for hardsubbing an SRT? I usually use handbrake but it doesn't want to burn in the subs. I want control over the font and shadow too to get decent quality.

Why should I delete? These are 'on topic' questions that don't have a specific thread to discuss. I'm aware some issues are partially discussed in other threads, but not in this context and no consensus has been reached.

Sorry, the "delete" was for my post, since before my edit, I wrote about mVideoPlayer without realizing you've already tried it...
1. Vplayer
2. I tried a lot, and as far as I remember, none of them was able to find a subtitle track on a mp4 video file.
3. Handbrake. You have first to convert your srt into an ssa file, then merge with mkvmerge the ssa file to the original mkv,
and handbrake will then be able to handburn your srt file. You probably have to apply a patch (I wrote the patch, look for
decssasub.c), because handbrake was not able to handburn srt2ssa converted files.
Hope this help, it's really a pain to watch subtitles movie on a transformer, it does not play straightforward mkv files, you
have to convert them and so one.
Another solution would be to use plex media server, which is able to transcode movie, and which is avoiding the pain to
convert movie files, but unfortunately the plex android client does not support subtitles at this moment.
We're stuck to poor solutions.

Vplayer does not hardware decode. It does seem like a good player though. Managed to get handbrake to burn in using ssa instead of srt subs and bubbled to convert them. Still not great though.

Does anoyone have an answer for my problem? i have .srt files downloaded and they play like they should with mvideoplayer. But when i connect to my tv with hdmi, i see the subtitle on my tablet and not on the tv.
This really is pretty stupid. is there any player or app which can output my subtitles on my tv without me having to "burn them in"?
thats really weird they dont show up on HDMI, maybe the resolution is different?
MX VideoPlayer uses hardware decoding. There're options to choose between that and software decoding. It also has subtitle options (font, size, alignment, etc.).
I used DVDFab to get subtitles to show in a m4v flick. Had to click around with some of the subpicture options and then check it out in the preview screen to see if the subs would show; after a few tries, got the subs to only show up to translate and not during the entire film. Subs also show up in the stock player.
i found that the only way of displaying this subtitles to hdmi is to burn them in with handbrake. But handbrake does not support burn in of .srt files.
Anyone know an alternative which is simple?
mobo player, plus install codec corresponding to your CPU (ARM V6) all from the market.
Then place the .srt with strictly the same file name as you video file, play it with Mobo and subs should just show up.
I tested with lots of video format, including
Thanx for the reply, but do .srt files also show on the HDMI output if they are downloaded?
On the tablet all Works fine.
Sent from my Legend using XDA Premium App
I'm now re-encoding everything using XviD4PSP which is free and allows you to burn in the subtitiles. Seeing as I'm transcoding most stuff to h264 mainline anyway, I might as well add subs. The main problem is that this software is slower than handbrake. It does accept SRTs though. Jubbler is good for converting and editing subtitile files.
I play using moboplayer and mVideoPlayer. mVideoPlayer plays with hardware decoding and allows you to change the size of SRT subs if you are using SRT. The other players show text too small.
Life would be so much better if stock played embedded subtitles in an m4v though!
I'm curious if I've made a configuration error somewhere.
My GS4 is able to playback 10bit 720p smoothly but for some reason, animated subtitles (think karaoke) play at something like 5FPS. Is there a switch somewhere I missed that can fix this? I've already tried toggling Hardware Rendering for subtitles.
It's not just you, and it's not device specific. This is a known issue of MX Player. The developer is aware that .ass/ssa subtitle rendering speed isn't optimal. However, MX still has one of the best ass/ssa renderers out there when it comes to ability to render complex styling (the other good subtitle renderer is XBMC for android).
The issue's already on my list that's pinned at the top of the forum.

EDIT: I assume you already have it set to use 4 cores to decode?
Thanks for the reply. Yes I've set it to four cores already.
It's not a gamebreaker I guess. Good to know I didn't make a mistake.
I use ES file explorer to access folders on my NAS and PC, and previously this has worked perfectly for MX player playback.
In a recent update in the last few months, subtitle support was broken while doing this.
If i copy the file locally to the player, the subtitle menu appears and works fine - but running it over the SMB share, it behaves as if the file has no subtitles present.
This bug is present on all my devices, so its not a localised glitch - definitely happened as a result of an MX player update.
@bleu8888 did something change regarding SMB predictive requests for external subs in one of the updates?
I have an update for this.
Enabling hw+ decoding makes the subtitle button appear and it remains even if I change back to hw or sw.
The reason I hasn't noticed this before is that hw+ doesn't work on many of my videos due to them being 10 bit h264 (hi10p), so I had hw+ disabled in settings.
If my terrible accent can be ignored, heres a very brief video demonstrating the problem.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lihO1-Zsc&list=UUgbORRfPfCYQb8wRW1plCUg
This workaround is far from perfect, as various videos will crash MX player if i try and force them to use HW+
If copied to the internal SD card, the subtitle icon appears without needing HW+.
Curious now, what is the naming format of the video and sub files?

.MKV with internal subtitles. That example video above has the following stats as read from MPC-HC on my PC.
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 23.81fps [V: h264 high L4.0, yuv420p, 1280x720 [default,forced]]
Audio: AAC 44100Hz stereo [A: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo [default,forced]]
Subtitle: Advanced SubStation Alpha [S: ass [default,forced]]
Subtitle: UTF-8 [S: No subtitles]
An oddity has shown up with some files where subtitles appear, but i cant turn them OFF without doing this trick. Only happens over SMB shares, never happens locally with the same files.
... based on your original problem question, I thought you had external subs. Now that it's internal subs... I have no idea why, except perhaps that on HW, the android internal mediacodec broke something regarding embedded .ssa subtitles (that's only a guess). Unless this also coincided with a ROM update on xKat, I'm not sure that anything on MX specifically changed. It'll have to be @bleu8888 that would look into this.

not related to Xkat, the video showed this on my kogan HDMI dongle device, running its stock ICS 4.0 rom. Definitely internal subs, only over SMB.
Changing to software decoding also seems to bring the subtitle option back, although at first i didn't think that was the case.
Well, I don't think I can add any more value, so I'll just let the dev work on this
Same problem here: MKV file with embedded subtitles. Running Finless Bobs ROM 2.1 on an MK808.
When I play the file from a local directory, no problem, all subtitles are shown independent of HW or HW+ mode. When I try to play the SAME file from my NAS drive (accessing it with ES file explorer), the embedded subtitles do not show up, as if they were not existing.
The HW+ workaround above does work, but is not a satisfactory solution: Switching to HW+ does make the subtitles appear and selectable, video plays but stutters. You can then switch back to HW with the subtitles on, video plays smooth but freezes after ~5 seconds. So no working solution for NAS.
Hope this helps to reproduce the issue - please fix it!

Tried SW mode, but same behavior: Video gets stuck when switching back to HW mode with subtitles on after about 15 seconds. Then turning off subtitles in HW mode makes video continue smooth.
So switching to HW+ or SW mode makes the subtitles appear and stay even when switching back to HW mode, but video gets stuck in HW mode with subtitles on. Issue only via LAN, HW mode works fine with subtitles when the file is local. I also don´t think it´s a bandwidth issue to my NAS, as the video plays fine via LAN without subtitles.

I'd say our slight differences there would be because we're using different hardware. Hopefully this bug gets some attention, i feel that using network shares isn't as popular as other methods so its a low priority fix.

That may well be. It´s a pity this issue doesn´t get a higher priority as playing videos from a NAS should become increasingly popular. It´s so convenient to have a big NAS drive to store all your music and video on and have it available for all devices in your network...

It depends on the SMB client that is used to stream. The behaviour changes from app to app. Some apps are acting as content providers. In that case, Player can access only the video files. Some apps act as a local host (like Solid Explorer). In such cases, MX might be able to detect the subtitles when either it allows the file listing or by a simple brute force check.

It seems that you are having some difficulties with our app. Unfortunately, we couldn't get your feedback well. Can you please contact us at [email protected] along with detailed steps to reproduce the issue or a screen record? It will help us to assist you better.
having the same issue, when streaming on lan it doesnt load the srt file loaded on the same folder, with the same file name, it used to work for quite some time, but now it no longer works, used es file explorer to browse through the NAS.
but if the folder is saved locally, the player can read it, using the es file explorer to access it as well.
I have a 2015 model of sony bravia android tv, and it has a MT5890 CPU and a mali T-624 GPU. I installed the latest version of mx player and armv7 neon codec.
I am able to play x265 coded videos with built-in video player without any problem, it's very smooth, and I can skip forward or backward or just jump to whenever I wish to.
However when using mx player, it's also very smooth, but I can only play from the beginning, if I try to skip forward or backward, or jump to a certain time point, it starts to act very weird. Sometimes video speeds up 2x or 3x, sometimes it slows down, like it's catching up or slowing down to wait audio to be synchronized. And it can take from couple of minutes to half an hour to go back to normal.
This only applies to x265 coded videos, I have other video that are coded with x264 or HEVC, and they work just fine in both built-in player and mx player.
I have tried other video players like spmc, kodi or VLC, they all stutter, VLC is probably the best among these but it is still dropping frames left and right. But most of them don't have problem with skipping or jumping.
Can someone please explain the reason? Could it be fixed?
Much appreciated!

This only applies to x265 coded videos, I have other video that are coded with x264 or HEVC, and they work just fine in both built-in player and mx player.
I have tried other video players like spmc, kodi or VLC, they all stutter, VLC is probably the best among these but it is still dropping frames left and right. But most of them don't have problem with skipping or jumping.
Can someone please explain the reason? Could it be fixed?
Much appreciated!

Basically, x265 is an encoder for HEVC. So, both are same.
Maybe some particular HEVC profile has issues. Can you try HW+ decoder?

In fact I am using HW+ decoder, and it's the only way I can play those videos smoothly. Switching to HW or SW would make the video either completely unplayable or stutter very heavily.
To sum it up, I CAN play any videos with built-in player smoothly and drag or jump or skip however I want to.
I CAN play x265 coded files smoothly with mx player in HW+ mode, but I CANNOT jump or skip. I CAN play any other videos with mx player without any problem.
I CAN play x265 coded files with some level of stutter with other players like spmc and VLC, but I CAN drag or jump however I want to.
The videos that I am having problem with have these kind of parameters:
Format : HEVC
Format Info : High Efficiency Video Coding
Format profile : Main [email protected]@High
Codec ID : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC
Writing library : x265 2.5+4-b4a5bcfe29c7:[Windows][GCC 4.9.3][64 bit] 10bit
If the writing library is x264 or ATEME Titan KFE or ATEME Titan file, or if the codec ID is hev1, or if the format profile is Main [email protected]@Main, I don't have a problem.
This is so weird....
To the TC - Did you ever get this sorted?
I am having the same issue on my Sony Bravia. Whilst the actual player is exactly what I wanted, I get exactly the same issue when fast forwarding or rewinding.
I have played around with the different codec settings but it doesn't seem to make any differences.
Did you end up finding a solution?
Cheers

Glad to see that I am not alone. But unfortunately I did not find any solution and had given up on this.
After all, it is only a tiny fraction of all the videos have this kind of behavior.
Thank you for the confirmation
