Hello
I have a strange problem.
Yesterday I recorded a video(in 720P mode) with HTC sensation, came home, and played it normally on my samsung 40LEC650 HD TV over dnla(allshare), wirelles over phone.
Then I recorded some more videos (in all posiblle resolutions and sizes), tried to play them on tv, and error occurs - video codec not supported.
Then I tried again playing the first video, and it plays normally, just every other doesnt.
All videos offcourse in 3gp format.
What happened?? And what can I do to be able to play all videos?
Bor
I have the same issue. Samsung plasma tv. Video codec not supported on all but a couple of videos. Strange!

dnla problem
I think I ve found out what the problem is. Transfer your videos on to computer and check properties od each one. Check the bitrate and frames per second. It seems that tv doesn't play files with low bitrate or fps.
I ve recorded some videos, and those with bad sunlight (light from surroundings) have lower bitrate and won't play.
I think that's it.
Check YouTube user jemecb Video1- this one plays
Video2 (bad light) - my tv won't play
If anyone knows how to get past this please help
Greeting
There is a cameramod that, while it isn't widely agreed upon that it improves the quality of the image, does increase the bitrate quite a bit in the videos.
So if it's bitrate you need, then try the modded camera from the sensation development forum.
Hi, all. I own xperia Neo V, recently rooted. I use MX player for video playback. There seems to be a lag at random intervals during video playback, especially playing mkv files. During the lag, audio continues to play while video displays as a still picture and then delayed video gets played back at a very fast pace. Then video playback continues fine and then lags with similar issue at another random interval. The lag happens for 5-8 seconds . I would like to know if any workaround for this problem? Does anyone face similar issue?

Hi! What is the resolution of the video? Because the Neo and Neo V screen resolution is only 720p and it won"t play full hd videos, but 720p videos is working well. I have Xperia Neo and it's not playing the full hd vids with any player! The sound goes as it should, bat the screen freezes. Reduce the video size and it will work...
The resolution is 576*432
I tried BSplayer, QQplayer too. all lag at random intervals
I use Moboplayer (the one with a "green triangle on a grey circle" icon), and it plays everything, except full hd vids. The max reslution is 1280x720, but even Quickpic plays too. So i dunno what the problem is... What rom are you using and kernel? Maybe you run out of free memory during playback... Have you download the codec for MX player? When I first install it, it's need the MX Player Kodek (ARMv7 NEON)...
But now I probe one video (1280x720) and Quickpic plays it, I'm able to scrolling too...
I tried Mobo before. One thing that I love about MX is that it's HW acceleration feature is excellent which boost your volume twice, and all other players including Mobo can't match this boost. That's the only reason stopping me to use other apps. Anyways, thanks for hinting Moboplayer, will try it out again. Regarding Quikcpic, I use it only to view my pictures, new used it to play any video.
Hello everyone,
I have a few questions regarding 4K videos. I tried playing a 4K H265 10bit video on the phone using the native Sony Video app and, although it did play, it was slow as heck. Does the phone support such videos natively (i.e. Hardware Accelarated playback)? Is it an issue of the app itself? Since almost all 4k content, with or with HDR/10bit, is in H265 are we limited to Youtube and Amazon for 4K playback? Do I have to transcode all my 4K Blu-Ray movies to H264 in order to play them? Are there any third party players (e.g. bsplayer) that can play 4k videos (and utilize the phone's 4k resolution, not just play them in 1080p). Thank you all for your time.
I downloaded a 4k test sample encoded in x265 and played it with MX player app with hardware acceleration.
Worked perfectly. Smooth as butter.

use mx player
Thanks a lot for your time. It seems that mx player does not use the phone's native 4K resolution though and displays a 1920x1080 image so there is no point in using it. My question is whether a video player app exists, besides Sony's native one, that is able to use the phone's 4K resolution, not just play 4K videos.

I think you can change the phones overall resolution to 4K for that purpose: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/themes/mod-change-default-resolution-to-4k-root-t3618843

Tried with Sony Xperia Video app and the 4K sample I downloaded runs the same as it runs in MX Player.

Kot5nik, in my opinion, changing the resolution that android runs is not the proper way to go. Since XZ Premium is a device that supports 4k/HDR i shouldn't have to resort to "adb" to watch a 4k video in another app. Plus, by doing that, battery drain increases a bit, phone dialer app does not work, app switching does not show thumbnails etc.

FartyParty, I stand corrected. You are absolutely right. I took screenshots of both MX and Sony apps and the look identical. Only one difference though. It seems that MX Player doest not utilize HDR. There is a noticeable difference in contrast. You can see the attachments if you want to.

Here is what i found from testing the device for 4K HDR videos
the device can and will play 4K H265 10bit and even HDR videos but there are things that need to be done to play perfectly
first you need to check for the containers to be mkv or mp4
second using sony app will not allow to play surround sound file like dts, ac3, AAC 5.1 or AAC 7.1
third which i think is very odd and stupid from sony is that how such a powerful device can't play mkv with AAC sound track no matter what stereo or surround.
The trick for this to use software where they can switch container without the need for converting the whole file from mkv to mp4.
Hi everyone,
I have to also agree with @Liltman and say that the MX Player does play video content in 4k however there is a very noticeable difference between the stock Sony album player and the MX player.
Sadly the Sony video player doesn't support truehd aac files so the video will play flawlessly without the sound :crying:
The MX Player on the other hand WILL play the sound but the quality of the video seems to take a small hit as it's not as vibrant as the Sony album player. This is because MX Player supports 4k but not HDR
I hope that Sony added codecs to make TrueHD sound files compatible with the Sony gallery player on Oreo but I am not very confident about that.
I would appreciate it if someone can find a way around this annoying issue. What software is @HYPER-RX referring to?
Thanks!
Try VLC guys. When I played an HDR video in VLC it tried to force my brightness to max like YouTube does. However, it had to ask for som system write permission to do it and it didnt work completely. See if VLC does a better job though I found it to be pretty good.
MX Player definitely does support HDR. You can tell because in HDR videos, if you try taking a screenshot, the screenshot will simply come out as black, whereas in SDR videos, you'll get a normal screenshot.

Hi I just tried VLC and you was spot on. I can see that it actually does support HDR however I'm still having audio issues with the sound. Especially the HEVC Atmos 7.1. Do I need to download a codec pack or something?
It's a shame because the video quality is incredible!
Working perfectly
I tried to play 4k hdr 60fps video using the sony video app. I had no issues with playing it. It was smooth no lags at all.
codec was hevc and bitrate was 75Mbps and audio was AAC.

Thanks was this on Oreo? And the sound file was it 5.1 or 7.1?
Hello,
I have purchased a second hand T95Z plus, but have been experiencing issues with FullHD videos playback. Everything that is above 7Mbps is lagging. Tried different players - VLC, PlayerXtreme, the integrated video player. Tried with Wifi as well as with ethernet connection. Every time I play a decent FullHD quality video, it starts lagging. Just to confirm, this is not only for streams, but for videos stored internally and on a network share.
Obviously the issue is not with the connectivity, but with the video playback. The box itself is advertised as "easily" able to stream 4K videos, so I am afraid that it might have some hardware issues as 1080p videos with >7Mbps bitrate is lagging.
There might be overheating or some other related issues, but I am fairly new to this, thus am seeking help from other people with more experience with this device. If there is someone that is able to help me narrow down the main cause of this, I would be really thankful.
Here are details:
Android 7.1.2
Build: T5ZPE1081
BTW, when I start some 4K UHD video in Youtube it is playing it just fine. So maybe the issue is with the encoding or the video players that I use? Cause the 4K Youtube video is showing bitrate between 15 and 30Mbps.
